Beginning next Saturday, school
 sessions will Ue held on Saturday for
 the first time in the school history of
 PIainvilIc, according to an announco-
 ment made yesterday by Frank Os-
 borne Of the school committee. Tho
 extra sessions will be held for three
 Saturdays, and each session will be
 a half day. The schools will close
 next week for the annual Easter re-
 cess but the Saturday sessions will be
 resumed after vacation.
 The reason for this surprising aC-
 tion of the school committee is made
 clear in the following explanation:
 The welcome celebration for soldiers and sailors is to be held on June 25, making it obviously impossible to hold graduation exercises on that day on June 24 the tiftieth anniversary ol the incorporation of the town of | FlalnVille will be celebrated, and it is to De held at theCongregational church theieIofe the church cannot be used lor comm encement exercises. At it's last meeting the committee considered these points and decided to hold the aouA'1on in the Congregational 1 church on June 20. In order to litl 1 III the Ioo days prescribed by the state l the board decided to hold the half 1 day Saturday sessions The proposi- 1 tion, While it will certainly not prove l popular with Young America, will be 1 a novel one and should prove to be | interesting as an experiment.
