The Editors Familiar Chat.

We observe that Secretary Hine has
come out in fasoc OF six-day sessions for
the public schools, instead of five as at
present. He believes that the Saturday
holiday, which was instituted less than
half century ago, is not necessity and
that these holidays, as well as the long
vacations, are great interruption to the
great and important work of educating
the younger generation. Although not
pretending to give an expert opinion we

and cry made against modern methods,
taken as q whole. But when it comes to
changing from five to six-day session,
we should most emphatically object. Mr.
Hines argument is very pretty, to be
sure, and may be convincing with some.
But after he has said all he can, we still
hold he is advocating what would be
disastrous for the public schools. The
children need the holiday. If he could

It was explained to Mr.. Farson that
