viii Close schools
The leaders of the city and paro-
chial schools Of Tulsa will arrange
their work so that the schools can
close in the interest of the visitation
Wednesday afternoon. April 10. This
Is IN keeping with the action of schools
in other large cities whore the work
has been observed In -. Lc uis the
city and parochlal schools sent 1874
coo young people to their homes on
the afternoon OF the home visitation.
II was observed in oklahoma City.
Dallas, Kansas city. Detroit, Mon
ueal, etc. Everywhere IT has been
done the educational leaders state
that II was of great benefit to the
educational interests. The plan in
Tulsa will probably be to begin the
schools little earlier than usual and
hold them "A little longer than the
regular noon adjournment So that
about all of the work can be done.
Important Action
The leaders of the Home Visitation
plan state thar this is one of the most
important actions in behalf OF the
work that can be taken. since it will
permit all teachers, who so desire. to
give their names in their services
Sunday, TO take part in the work Oh
Wednesday afternoon, also all young
people above - years of age. as they
make good visitors since all young
people are sent with people Of more
experience. All visitors are sent two
and two, and find the work most in
teresting and pleasant.
Mr.. Durham, who is in charge of
the work. urged that no man or wom-
an fail to give his or her name, think
ing that since the young people could
assist. he or she would not be needed
All will be needed and no young per-
sons will be sent without some per-
son of experience to accompany them.
The young pupils can act as interpre-
ters in aay non English speaking
homes. The educational leaders state
that this action is taken not to give
the teachers and pupils an afternoon
off, but that they may assist in a
great general bctterment movement,
which has proven of such large value
to the educational interest in other
ests.
