CORRESPONDENCE.
LATE HOURS,
[To the Editor of the Daily Telegraph.] y lß| __lt was about a quarter to 11 o'clock last night when the children practising for the school concert tomorrow evening were allowed to go home. Can anything be more detrimental to the health of young children than in keeping them up to such unnecessarily late hours. Some of those children did not get home till 11.15. We are just getting a little too much of this " concert" business, when it cannot be restricted to reasonable hours for those engaged in it. I say unbesitati&gl* , that the practice for such amusements should be over by 9.30 at the latest, and the concert itself by 10 o'clock. When the latter ie prolonged after that time it becomes tedious and wearisome to a painful degree, as the Napier public have experienced.—l am, Paeent. Napier, 14th December, 1882.
