DAYLIGHT SAVING
Objection to any extension of the present half-hour of Summer Time is made by "N.Z. 26," who alleges that children were listless in the year daylight saving was extended to the full hour. "It was useless then to say that the parents should send the children to bed an hour earlier (by the sun). The custom was to put them to bed soon after the setting sun. To expect the children to then rise an hour earlier (by the clock) was to deprive of so much necessary sleep. The result was that teachers had to contend with children not only listless but they would often'fall asleep. Is it fair to rob the children of rest aud harm their education just to please some of our sportloving; elders?" , . . ■
