It is currently reported that there
is disposition OH the part of some
members of the School Board to Or
der the closing of the public schools
throughout the parish at the end of
the current school month. This
would give us only q seven months
term, instead of eight months, as
contemplated by the Board, and as
we have had for several years past.
We understand that several mem
bers of the Board are opposed to
this move, which would be an un-
fortunate backward step, and we
presume that it will be necessary
for the advocates of early closing
to call an extra session of the Board
in order to carry their point, if, in
deed, it can be carried at all.
