DR.. Wolfram inspected the place
most carefully and he states that he
found the cells in a filthy condition
and not At for human being to re-

had not been scrubbed for many

Reopen on December

ment in the Christmas holidays. pass

ing of schools during the Morgan ex-
plosions and influenza epidemic. ap

and a general discussion of the dam
age done to the buildings by the explo
sion of the shell loading plant, wa
the principal business transacted by
the local board at a short session last
night.
In his report superintendent of
Schools 8. E. Shull. informed the
board that a curtailment of the
Christmas and Easter vacations has
been decided upon. The superinten-
dent pointed out that in order for the
school to obtain the appropriation
from the state, school must be held
1S0 days. Unless the vacations at
these times are cut down, this cannot
be done, and by a. curtailment of a few
days at Christmas and Easter school
will be held 1872 days or two more
days than is necessary. The curtail-
ment is made necessary through the
fact that school was closed for so
long a time in October.
Mr.. Shull said that the Christmas
vacation would begin with the close
of school on December "a and con-
tinue until following Monday morn
ing, when the regular sessions would
again be started. Then school will
again be closed on New Years day.
In previous years school has closed
on the day before Christmas and re-
mained closed until the onday after
New Years day.
The spring or Easter vacation will
begin on the day before Good Friday
and continue until the following Tues
day. This is brought about through
the. fact that many of the scholars lay
great stress in these days, because
of their religion. In both instances
the holidays are one week less than
they were last year.
Because of the explosion four rooms
at the grammar school are SO dam
aged that they cannot be used. and for
the present, while repairs are beins
made the scholars are being taught in
the high school. A number of ceilings
in the grammar school had fallen be-
cause OF the explosion and II was said
II this had occurred during q school
session a number of the scholars
would no doubt have been injured.
The work of repairing the ceilings is
now going on and II Is estimated by
the building committee that the cost
will amount to at least $500 per room.
After discussion as to the closing
of the schools during the explosions
and the epidemics. Victor Main Of
fered the following resolutions. which
were accepted by the members OF the
board:
