Thursday 27th August 1914 (Luton): An announcement has been made today about schooling arrangements. The children are due to return to school next week after the summer holidays, but many of the school buildings are being used to billet troops. Special arrangements have had to be made with a number of schools having to double up and share premises. Where this happens children will only get three days schooling a week and will attend school on alternate days, either Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, or Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. No doubt many of the youngsters will be happy to have unexpected freedom on the days they do not have to attend. Their parents' feelings may be rather different!
