SCHOOL HOLIDAYS Playing Ground Problem

To the Editor of the Nowri-Ciina Date News"

Smm.—Several of your readers have been advocating longer holidays for pupils at the Girls Cathedral School. They are among the fortunate ones who can send their children away for the summer months to seaside and ater resorts, usualy for 8 period of There are others, the majority probably, who cannot send their children away at all, or else must mit holidays to a fortnight or three weeks. The other eight or nine weeks have to be spent in Shanghai with little to do and nowhere to £0.

This Jetter is, therefore, another appeal for the ise of the Cathedral School playing grounds throughout the summer months, If custom oF agreements preclude the school staff from putting in, say, from a week to ten days supervision each during the day—not a great deal to ask out of their long hollday—could not some-tone in need of a little monetary help engaged to keep an eye on the! children's activities during six or seven hours a day throughout the holidays?

Shang!
