Children's Day in the Country, 1881. 'Subscriptions; The Start; The Favourite Teacher; Preliminaries; Patronage; The Awkward Squad; Missing; Signal for Departure...[Summer excursions] for children of the schools attached to parish churches...[in London which] send forth several vans loaded with happy boys and girls...to some field or park in the Home Counties, or even to the seaside, where five or six hours can be passed in hearty enjoyment of fresh scenes and sports of an innocent kind. The fresh pure air, the liberty of romping on the grass, the delight of coming into the presence of rural nature, for which all city-bred youth must yearn with an intense longing, scarcely to be allayed by getting now and then into the London Parks, are calculated to do them an infinite amount of good..."The Awkward Squad," and "Missing," have a touch of comic pathos in their expression of childish helplessness and simplicity'. From "Illustrated London News", 1881.
