List Of Holidays The YEATS Calendar

During the school year Of 10000 each
daily session Of the schools IN the city
VIII be 20 minutes longer than those OF
last year excepting in the beginners
first and second grades, which win re-
main the same as heretofore. The
change was made yesterday afternoon
by the committee on teachers Of the
board of education Under The new
rulc the afternoon sessions in all the
grades, excepting the three stated
above, viii commence at o'clock in the
afternoon and close at 1880 p. m, in
stead Of 1910 as heretofore,
1t Is believed by the committee that
20 minutes more Of school work each
day win tend to greatly decrease the
amount cf home study for the pupils.
II is contended that 20 minutes instruc-
ton In the school room should be equiv
alent to and the pupil would derive as
much benefit as from one hours study
at home unaided by the guidance of a
teacher. Further than that Il Is the
tendency OF all the larger cities TO in
crease the length of the daily sessions
Of the schools. Reports on file In Supt
Christensen's Office show that In many

TO whether American pork must be ac-
