SOUGHT. BY MeHERS. ‘ ' LISTLESS SCHOLARS S • ■ fc-J LONDON, March 2.—Head teachers in. the north ot England want & nu- • tional “curfew” for. schoolchildren. Liverpool, Lancashire and Cheshiro branches will propose a “bed-time,” resolution at the Whitsun conlcrenco of the National Association, of Head Teachers. ' i Mr Gordon Barry, secretary of the association, said: “It is no uncommon thing for children of seven and eight..,, to. be playing in the streets until 10 * o’clock. . “They go to school istless and Jieavy-eyed, and are quite iucaoahle p / either of enjoying their school activi-' ties or profiting-from them. “We would not, think of suggesting a compulsory measure, but some members feel sure that a ‘curfew’ would be a helpful reminder to the children to go indoors and:, to. their parents to fetch them.”
