ng if teachers can collect pay for holi-

N teaching in accordance with the
terms of their contract. A school
mouth consists of four weeks of five
lays each, or of twenty days; and
there are no legal holidays in which
are by law excused from
the required number OF days
Some boards of directors, however,
neither require the teachers to teach
on holidays, nor on other days as an
the teacher in the mean
time receiving payment as though the
full number of days had been taught"
