SCHOOL HOLIDAYS.

When the list of holidays legalized
by the last Legislature was first pub
lished, says the Lancaster NeaO Era, a
bright lad counted the days on which
he thought the schools would be
closed in the coming year. He found
fifteen legal school holidays. In his
town the schools were also closed on
circus day, during the agricultural
fair, between Christmas and New
Year, and during June, July and
August Although living in county
seat he thought he would have less
than $50 days, or more days for play
than for school, not counting the Sun
days. He boasted Of his reckoning in
the presence of a heavy taxpayer and
of a veteran teacher The former
growled with some show of justice at
the waste of public money without an
adequate return, and the latter com
plaiued that the increasing breaks in
the regular school year made it more
and more difficult 10 get the pupils
ready for promotion
The recentruling Of the State Super
intendent in regard to legal holidays
was evidently a step in the right di-
Teetion. 1t does not imply that the
schools must be kept in operation on
Christmas and on Thanksgiving Day.
1t simply leaves the matter in the
hands Of directors and controllers.
Nor does it lead TO inconvenient conse-
quences in regard to school on Satur-
day. Three state normal schools and
several colleges have their weekly
holiday on Monday instead of Satur-
day. Those who have tried this change
are not willing to go back TO the old
arrangement, The state department
will, under The recent ruling, not be
required to withhold the state appro-
priation from districts in which some
