INFLUENZA
Sir, —I congratulate “Common Sense” on her letter concerning children who are compelled to take their lunches to school and are forced to sit 20 minutes in bitterly cold winds, on open seats, to eat their lunches. Several times I Lave complained to the teachers at the suburban school my children attend, only to be told “that it wasn’t very .cold,” although they, theUeachers, were comfortably moused inside. Almost all factories etc., now have -their dining-rooms, so surely the children COUjd b€ allowed at* least to eat their lunch inside. A brisk run In the playground is certainly beneficial, but it is the 20 minutes they are compelled to sit still that is causing So many chills. Personally, I consider it is selfishness on the part of the teachers, who do not want to be bbthered with the children inside.— Yours, etc., ANOTHER WORRIED MOTHER. July 17, 1948.
