COOPERATIVE Plan Adopted
by Board of Education.
HOLIDAYS NOT TO BE CUT

Plans for cooperation with the city
post Office: decision not to shorten the
school holidays this year on account
Of the late opening of the public
schools. and the reference to the cor
poration counsel of question regard
ing the legality Of appointments under
certain conditions. were three subjects
receiving the attention of the board of
education at its meeting in the Frank
lin School yesterday afternoon.
The plans for cooperation between
the schools and the post office. present.
ed by Postmaster Merritt o. Chance
and adopted by the board. are con-
sidered particularly significant by the
school officials, as this is another step
in carrying out the policy of the pres
emit administration to link" the
schools with various other institutions
in a manner mutually beneficial.
The arrangement sanctioned by the
board yesterday covers. the. following
points: The children are to assist in
the dissemination of postal informa-
ton, by carrying home small pamphlets
compiled by officials of the post Office.
This, it is believed, will greatly help
in keeping at minimum difficulties
arising during the Christmas season
through misunderstanding of postal re-

Owing to. the greatly increased cost
of quality tobaccos, in fact. every

the makers of the San Felice cigar,
The Deisel-Wemmer Company. have
advanced the selling price to. the Job

of six for a quarter as previously.
The SAN FELICE Is national in its

Enters Appointment Claim.

When a vacancy really exists, from
the legal point of view, was the gist
of matters referred to the corporation
counsel. In one case Miss 3. +. Scipio,
a graduate of the Miner Normal School,
through her counsel. John Doyle Car
mody. claimed that she sAould have
been appointed to a position to which
another graduate was appointed. be-
cause she was the next on the eligible
list at the time the vacancy occurred
In this case teacher died and another
place, the vacancy caused by this pro-
motion being the one over which the
question arose. -
At the time of the teachers decease
Miss Scipio was eligible for appoint
ment. For administrative purposes.
however. the changes necessary were
not made until after the following class
of the normal school had been gradu-
ated. which brought a new list of eli
gibles forward and prevented the ap-
pointment of Miss Scpio The other
case. that of Miss Edna Boyd, is analo-
gous in principle.
A proposition to use ma gaines deal
ing with current history, civics, sci
ence and similar topics. for use in con-
nection with high school English, his
able action by the board. An offer of
prizes for foreign-born students who
should write the best essays on topics
dealing with the United States, and
calculated to instill them with patriot

Essay Contest to Be Held.

An essay contest on post office work
is to be held. and to fifteen or sixteen
boys of legal age writing the best es-
says employment will be given during
the holiday season, when the demand
for extra help is made by the post
Office In addition to the distribution
of pamphlets, Postmaster Chance is to
delegate number of employees espe-
cially fitted for the work to lecture be-
fore the children on the work of the
post Office, and opportunity is to be
given for an inspection of the way in
which mail is handled.
Decision not to shorten the school
holidays was reached with little dis
cussion. 1t followed requests from a
number of organizations urging that
the holidays should be shortened.
Il do not feel that it will be neces-
sary to shorten the holidays this year
in order to make up for, the two weeks
lost at the beginning of the session.

has been less interruption to work since
we have started and we got to work i'm
