Their Loyalty Long Discussion.
The closing Of public schools Nos 3. 10
and 10 on Good Friday caused a lively
meeting OF the Board Of Education last
night The breeze was started by Mr..
Alexander. of the Second ward. under
the head of new business, calling atten-
tion 20 the fact that No. Is school had
been closed without his knowledge or
consent BE read an alleged interview
in an afternoon paper, with Mr. O'Don
nell, in which ODOnnell said the school
was closed with his (Alexander's) author
ity He said be was opposed to any re.
ligious holiday
Mr. ODonnell took the floor and said
that the interview was lie. He was
careful, he said. when he spoke TO re-
porters as they are like sneak thieves
when they are taking down an article
He said be thought It as good a day to
celebrate as Memorial Day or Washing
tons Birthday
Mr. Magari y.of the Eleventh ward said
he did not know he was doing wrong
when he closed No 3 school. he said
he was passing the school and stepped
i'm. Miss Butler, the principal, said tine
children we're doing nicely and as a re-
ward for good work gave them a holiday
de never thought that the next day
would be Good Friday
Mr. Grant said he was responsible for

was that under the same circumstances
he would do the same thing again.
Mr.. Clark said that he did not think
any religious holiday as good as Fourth

WAS an American. IL he had made .
mistake he would apologizs' Mr. Bald
win said he was an American ard be
iieved in American institutions Mr.
O'Donnell said be was born within four
squai es of where be stood.
Mr. Baynard said the question was
whether certain members had violated
their oath. 10 was folly for Mr.. O'Don
nell to say be did not understand the
rules, or Mr.. Magarity TO say he did It fol
another reason. The laws of the schoo
we're that those who did not wish to 20
TO school Good Friday could be excused
The rights of the people who wished
to send their children on Good FRIDAY
must be respected
President Bahd said the breaking OF
the rules should be acted on Mr. Pyle
said it was queer that the three schools
we're closed and twenty four opened.
Mr.. Belts offered the following resolu
tion:
Whereas, It has been reported that
the public schools Mes 3, 10 and 10 of
this city were closed on Good Friday. th,
23d instant, which, If closed on aecoun
Of its being Good Friday, was in direc
violation of rules FOR the government O

Therefore. Be it resolved that thl
president appoint a committee Of five
whose duty it shall be to inquire Of th
visiting committees of said schools if TIA,
schools were closed as reported, and &
so why closed, and report to this board a
its next meeting"
Mr. O'Donnell offered as a substitute s
vote of sanctum on act Of committee
men in closing schools Nos 3, 10 and 10
/ The substitution WAS voted down.

housekeeping In the Future.

The grandchildren of this generation
viii get more domestic comfort for less
money than their grandparents did, says
writer in ScribnerS. and one reason Why
will he that they will have much more
accurate notion of what they want and
what they are entitled to. Standards OF
living will be much more definite in
America two generations hence,
So. 5s.,tt., n h., t'er5f,F, sE.ie g i.i&9
wages will all be better defined. House
keepers will know much more exactly,
and without need Of personal experience,
" hat scale of living their incomes can
support. Rents will be lower and there
will be better notion than nov as to
what household Injuries and conYenleuces
are really luxuries and convcnienees, and
" hat are mere snowy impediments to do
nestle comfort. With great aud grow
ing body of intelligent people anxious TO
work, and an increasing number anxious
to have certain work done for them, the
adjustment of the supply OF laeor TO the
demand is bound to be perfected. And
vet it will be an American adjustment,
wit h somewha less seryility in II than in
the English met hod, and characterized, as
all other American labor is. by the supe-
rior efficiency OF the persons employed.
