SLEEP FOR CHILDREN.
In England, owing to the Day-light-saving Bill, children are suffering through being allowed to play too late at night and not getting enough sleep. Children who were in the habit of going to bed at 7 or 8 o’clock now remain up until 0 or 10 o'clock, so that, rising at the same time as before, they lose two hours’ sleep. Parents ,<Jo .not recognise that this has practically the same effect as reducing the amount of the children’s food. The amount of sleep for children accepted by medical authorities is:— Four years old, 13 hours; six years old, 12 hours ; eight years old, II- 10 years old, 10=1; 12 years to 15’years old, 10; 16 to 17 years old, 91.
