Why does Admiral Boom in the movie Mary Poppins have a specific schedule of firing his cannon?

Basically Admiral Boom was mistaking the chimney sweepers for Hottentots "We're being attacked by Hottentots!" Ready the guns!... Some people believe this is a racist scene because Hottentots were one of three tribes that occupied South Africa at the time of the European "arrival".. The Hottentots being africans, Admiral boom associated the soot covered Chimney Sweeps, and believed they were being attacked. Personally, I believe that Admiral Boom associated Hottentots with a foreign army that posed a threat (no racism intended), and attacked due to the commotion that the chimney sweeps were causing, leading the admiral to believe they were being invaded by the "bad guys" or Hottentots.. This is supported by his earlier question to the children and Mary, when he asked "Off to fight the Hottentots? Dig for Buried Treasure? In which there was no obvious correlation to race.

Symbolism in Mary Poppins?

Up to a point the title character, who has super powers ( as does her paramour, Bert) is something of an English-Flavored Jane Addams type. Unlike JA, she has a tendency to scorn religion and this is shown to advantage in the movie- which shocked my Mother! Mary and the kids are involved in a walking tour of London. They are immediately opposite a large and famous church ( it is identified in the film as Saint Paul"s Cathedral). Ok. a storm erupts. instead of taking the kids into the church, which would get them out of the weather and in a safe environment, she starts some wand-waving magic and conjures up a fantasy merry-go-round at a Carnival in a clear-weathered but nonexistent lot) they never visit the church. Isn"t that putting the knock on Religion? This occurs in the movie version.

Mary Poppins:

When trying to express oneself, it's frankly quite absurd,

To leaf through lengthy lexicons to find the perfect word.

A little spontaniaty keeps conversation keen,

You need to find a way to say, precisely what you mean...

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!

Even though the sound of it is something quite atrosicous!

If you say it loud enough, you'll always sound precocious,

Then every single pyramid would bear this hieroglyph;

Oh!

Because those Latin scholars never had a word like this!

Mary Poppins:

So when the cat has got your tongue, there's no need for dismay!

Just summon up this word and then you've got a lot to say!

Pick out those eighteen consonants and sixteen vowels as well,

And put them in an order which is very hard to spell...

Mary Poppins is the title and the lead character. the song is Spoon ful of sugar. As far as I know there were no other Poppins movies though the end was open in the sense that would allow this- no lead characters dying off, unlike say Mr. Roberts.- so a sequel could have been made.
