that these holidays be celebrated on
the school premises with appropriate
exercises on the days on which they
occur. Where this is not feasible the
holiday may be celebrated, with ap-
propriate exercises, on the day before
the holiday, and the parents should be
invited to attend. This is necessary
in order that the pupils may get the
true meaning of the holiday-and that
patriotism. knowledge and love OF
Countrywide true purpose of the holt
day-may be inculcated.
