While It has no power to control such
matters. the G. A. r. discourages as far
as possible the using Of Memorial day for
picnics. dances and kindred frolics, believ-
Ing that such amusements are not exactly
in keeping with the spirit OF the day

Of Memorial day from the list OF days on

OF pay to the teachers
