LYTTELTON SCHOOL.

'to Tin SDITOR OT TBM SUBS. 'Sir.—May I ask if any readers of Thb Fbess would shut a dog up in a noun for five hours a day, for five <i»jß a week, which tees qp sun for at least four months of the year, with perhaps a short run in the sun during .tjie dinner hour and expect it to bo |'v-Afflalthy, alive, and alert? I That is what is being done to at iv jfcaat one teacher and her class 01 f " ,about fifty children in the Ljtteltpn 1 District High School. These children |T «Mi*r .school before the sun is over the " - hiJl (in the winter) in the morning, 1, ; tbey leave 111 the afternoon-after itl has • Bone, and all they see of our beautitul ,• winter suushitio is during the play--1 time and dinner-hour. Recently about Pf £IOOO wus spent in turning several ot tb» class-rooms in £0 so-called fresh-a *■„&* -Tootm. They certainly get plenty k fresh air when the windows are all Id; thev also get plenty or su - , but the glass all opens in sucn nderful manner that as far as ee not one ray of sunshine can those rooms except' tnroug it anv wonder that some mothers taking their children away and ug tliem to a real fresh-air scho > is people are being educated to e the viilue and necessity ine for the growing child, win nor© children be-taken from l? j 1 > matter is aHg one. a fd 1 lever enough to solve it. I is a beautiful piece of ® rc, "^ r j! solid built of brick. It stands wonderful site and schools could lilt there and so arranged that child would have its legitimate tit of sunshine. It is for the P of Lyttelton to wake up; it '» school and their children, and ine is free. —Yours, etc., ■•• • SUNSUNE. « 25th, 1931.
