Sunday at the Zoo
Faced, like Most similar institutions, with a serious loss of revenue, the Zoological Society of London may have to consider the expedient of Sunday opening as a means of redressing its fortunes. There are, in point of fact, much better reasons than that why the Zoo should lie open on Sundays to the general public and not merely to Fellows of the Society and their friends. The privilege of going to the Zoo on a day when the usual crowds are absent is naturally prized, but this is incontestably it ease where the greatest good of the greatest number should be considered. For a large section of the population Sunday is the one day when family visits (the Zoo is essentially a family resort) are possible, and where education is so happily blended with recreation the fullest opportunity of access to both should be available.
