School Holidays Cut to Entertain Younger Pupils
I m , m MANCHESTER. — ^The task of ensuring s> pleasant " holiday month for vounger school children was undertaken by a group of boys and girls from the grammar schools and high schools of Manchester and the district during the midsummer break from lessons. Volunteering to "help with the Ancoats Holiday School, these boys and girls assisted the . holiday school - staffl in keeping an eye on something like 200 children who were daily taken from outside the TJniversity Settlement to parks and recreation grounds. .Nearly 100 pupils at the Streford Open-Air School elected to cut their midsummer holidays by half in order to go baek to school and there indulge in" games, amateur dramatics, and' hobbies. Manchester and Stretford school children, it seems, are setting new fashions in midsummer holidays. A visiting specialist was taken to the cubicle of a mental case who thought he was a king. "I know I am a king," the man explained. "Satan told me eo." " a At which a furious vqice sounded from the next cubicle: I told you nothing of the kind."
