One lesson they like . Children go to school in their holidays to drink milk . Though the schools are closed for the holidays , schoolchildren at Carshalton , Surrey , still receive their daily milk . A scheme has been put into operation for supplying milk to the children during the holiday periods . Six hundred children are attending three schools in the district for half an hour in the morning to drink their milk there . The milk is paid for by a half penny contribution from the child and a half penny from a grant . Women Volunteers issue the milk .
