HOLIDAY BROADCASTS FOR CHILDREN
Sir,-This is only the third day of the enforced closing of schools in our area, so my daughter for the first timg@ since reaching school age has had the pleasure of listening to the school ses+ sion at 1.30, and might I tell you how much she is enjoying it? It seems tq me that there is a golden opportunity missed during the school. holidays enforced or otherwise, to enable childs ren to cultivate a taste for something more than murder serials, etc. and f would like to see this time continued throughout all school holidays with, say, a repetition of some of the fine histori cal serials which have come over the aif during the past few years. I am surg many an adult listener would like ae opportunity of hearing them peein. know I would. The children’s time in the ee aftere noon is all very well and has its uses, but no one could call it instructive. A session for children at 1.30 continued during the holidays would encourage them to listen to something worthwhile. In addition, it would ensure their having a short rest during the heat of the day, just at a time when it is difficult to geg these, older children to sit still for a little while.
