THE HURRIED LUNCH.

The evil effects of a hurried lunch on the digestive organs were emphasised by a ratepayer at the meeting of Ponsonby householders (says the Auckland "Star"), during his advocacy of an hour and a-half luncheon adjouniHTient for the scholars, instead of an hour as at present. The period >f an hour and a-half previously in force, he said, was much more convenient, both to mothers and scholars.. Unless the children lived in close proximity to the school it was a great hurry home, a hurried lunch, and a hurry hack. This hurrying bad a very detrimental effect to the health of a child. One of his own little girls had recently undergone a serious operation, wlu'ch had been rendered party necessary through the habit of rushing home and eating tar lunch faster than was good for her. Other speakers endorsed the remarks made, a.nd it was decided that it be a recommendation to the incoming committee to take a poll of the parents of the children attending the schools in the district as to whether the period of an hour and a-half should be roverted to.
