WOULD HAVE
GOOD FRIDAY A
SCHOOL FRIDAY

The Rev. Frederick NJ. Kirkus, rec
tor of Trinity Protestant Episcopal
Church. has the following article en-
titled Good Friday and the Schools"
in the current issue of Trinity
Church Annals.
Why do the Christian people of
Wilmington sanction the opening of
the public schools on Good Friday?
It is a day regarded as supremely
sacred by all mombers OF the Roman
Catholic Church, and by every we'll
instructed member of the Episcopal
and Lutheran Churches. Members of
other Christian denominations while
they do not observe the day as strict
", nevertheless regard it with reyer-
ence. II is the annual commemora-
ton of the death of Jesus Christ, and
so celebrated throughout the Chris
tian world Several of the States
make the day public holiday, and in
New York and several other large
cities the day is observed by the clos
ing of the Stock Exchange, and many
other business places, as mark OF
respect for the religious sentiments
of large number of citizens. In VII
mington our schools are closed for
all the national holidays. and on the
day when the circus comes TO town.
But on the most solemn anniversary
Of the whole year, when more than
half the Christian people of the city
are under obligation to attend Divine
service in their churches, the schools
are in full blast.
Cannot public sentiment find eX-
preston as to this MISUSE of a most
Holy Day? There certainly can be
no intention of desecration on the
part OF the school authorities; there
must be some of the Board Of Educa-
ton who are interested in, this matter,
and many of the teachers who feel
deprived OF a great religious. privi-
lege by being kept at their work.
Whatever the religious convictions
of our citizens may be. IL is a matter
! Of history that the death of Jesus
/ Christ was an event of stupendous
! significance in relation TO the subse-
! quent history of mankind. and thai
millions of Christians observe Good
/ Friday as a solemn fast. and to be

Would Il not be well TO impress these
