EXPLOITATION OF CHILDREN
Sir,—lt is to be hoped that school committees and others will take to heart Mr F. S. Nome's words to the annual meeting of the School Committees’ Association as reported in your columns yesterday. Undoubtedly the whole subject of finance in schools needs urgent attention, but many parents are concerned about the bad effect that this continual begging has upon the children. Almost every day the children come home asking for money or something else. Is it not high time this exploitation ceased? Why should the children be the victims of this continual orgy of begging and often enlisted as beggars to go from house to house soliciting support for raffles, bazaars, etc. Unless school committees and parents demand the cessation of this pernicious practice our future citizens will turn out to be a nation of spongers, with no taste for honest work at all.—Yours, etc., CONCERNED PARENT. June 10, 1943.
