The annual meetings of Wisconsin
teachers have always been during
Christmas week. The legislature has
now provided a law, however, under
which the teachers can attend the
convention in November without los
ing their pay. School boards can
close the schools if necessary to per-
NIT the teachers to attend the con-
vention.
