HOLIDAY JUNE5
FOR PUPILS LIKELY
Board of Education to Con-
slider Shrine Week Plan
at Next Session.

Public school children probably will
be given a holiday on June 5. when the
Shrine convention opens. The question
Of closing the schools on this date al
ready is being considered by school
authorities.
Some officials believe that IN view of
the immense crowd that will be in
Washington during the conclave. the
schools should be closed the three days
the convention is in session. Others
are said to be adverse to an extended
holiday so close to the end of the cur
rent school year. Final decision, how
ever. will be left to the board of edu-
cation which Is expected to take up
the matter at it's next meeting on
May Is.
The schools are cooperating active
ly with the Almas Temple Entertain
ment Committee in preparing for the
convention. Supt. Ballou has in
structed officers and teachers to re-
quest the school children to aid in the
war on the "eyesores" of the city. In
circular letter to the officers and
teachers DR.. Ballou said:

Building Inspector John P. Healy
has just returned from the annual

officials conference at Toledo, where
he gathered many valuable sugges-
regulations.
Held Of Special Value.
The opportunity to attend that gath
ering of leading building officials of
the nation was of special advantage
to Inspector Healy, since it was held
on the eve of the adoption of a re-
vised set of rules for the District.
Mr.. Healy said he could not en-
phasize too strongly the benefits
which any building official would de-
rive from being present at such a
meeting.
Not only are the public sessions
of the convention enlightening, but it
affords an opportunity to exchange
views with experts along various
