The School Holidays Are Too Long Today the children of this country have at last returned to work. After two months? holiday pupils have started a new term. How many adults get such long holidays? Two to four weeks in the summer and public holidays--that?s all the working man gets. As for the average

woman, she?s lucky to get a holiday at all. Children don?t need such long holidays. In term-time they start work later and finish earlier than anyone else.

In the holidays most of them get bored, and some get into trouble. What a waste! If their overworked parents were given more free time instead, everyone would be happier.

This isn?t just a national pro blem either--it?s worldwide. Dates may be different from country to country, but the pattern?s the

same. Why should children do half as much work and get twice as much holiday as their parents?
