Elizabeth Schools Close at 3 O'Clock

: 1t is proposed to close the public
chooIss of Elizabeth at o'clock in
stead of at $3.50. Commenting OH the
matter the Journal Of that city says !;
The4e are two reasons for advising
the closing of the schools at three.
The first, because the parents have
approved it. The question has been
submitted to them. and they have ex-
pressed themselves in its favor. The
second reason is that the children are
pretty well tagged out, and little can
be caught them between and 3.3c
p. NJ 1t will he no loss to them to
be dismissed half an honr earlier than
ar present. AS already stated, the
srhool day is not shortened, the p'in-
cipais teachers and scholars will have
just as much work to do, for the noon
recess viii be shortened by just as
much as is taken from the last session
OF the day. 1t seems to be advisable
from other points of view. aud i5 Is
to he hoped the Board of Education
will make the experiment.
