Will Have Easter Holidays.

recommendation of the superin-
tendent that the regular Easter holi-
days be given this year because prac-
tically every employe and pupil is tired
out by the strain involved by heavy
burdens during the war;" was approved
by the board. This recommendation
included a provision that the closing
date of the schools this year shall be
June 81, instead of about June 20, as
usual. This is done, the superipteud-
ent explained, because SO much time
has been lost this year that it must
be made up by stretching the school
semester in the same way the first
semester was extended.
Every effort is being made, accord
ing to Supt. Thurston, to find some ex-
pedient whereby the public night
schools can be carried on until the
until the District bill is passed. 1t
was stated last night that govern
ment fund sufficient to run the schools
for the next four months might be-
come available Immediately. Where
this fund was to come from was not
revealed. The two-week period during
which the teachers volunteered to
serve at the nominal fee of 81 per
year terminates Saturday.
A proposal from the Washington
section of the Association of Collegiate
Alumnae and the College Women's
so that teachers may engage in any
pursuit on leave of absence that may
help their teaching was referred back
to the board for action.
