Numerous Holidays Interfere
lowing to the fact that Governor
Pardee is declaring every day a legal
holiday at present." said one of the
members of the school board yester-
day, we cannot move as swiftly as we
wish in the school business. The school
board is like all of the other city de-
partments, it has been delayed and
hampered by the forced holidays.
while we realize perfectly that the
holidays are necessary still that is of
no assistance to us in a business way.
Most of the really important matters
that come before the board for deter
miration must be postponed for week
or so more until the governor ceases to
issue holiday proclamations."
Prof. E. e. Moore. who was chosen
by the school board to fill the position
of superintendent of schools will arrive
from Berkeley May Z. His departure
from the north was delayed as he was
asked to serve as executive secretary
to DIR. Devine, who has charge of the
Red Cross relief work of San Fran
cisco.
