“LOLLY SCRAMBLES.”
With a vieAV to stopping the practice of “lolly scrambles” among school children at picnics, the director of the division of dental hygiene (Colonel T. A. Hunter) has sent a circular letter to education hoards. The letter, written Avith a view to enlisting the board’s sylmpathy in a matter considered to be in the interests of the health of school children, refers (says the “Lyttelton Times”) to the custom of supplying SAveets to children at school functions, such as picnics. With the aid of education boards much had been done to diminish the practice, but it was regretted that some school committees did not feel called upon to .comply Avith the request contained in a previous circular. Some of theim still resorted to the extremely unhygienic practice of having sweets thrown on the ground to be scrambled for. “I feel sure that Avhen the danger attending such a practice is pointed out,” continues the director, “committees will ensure that it is discontinued.
I should be glad, therefore, if your board could see its Avay to bring the matter to the notice of school committees in your district.”
