HALF HOLIDAY
ON CIRCUS DAY
Plan of Mayor Wilson, Writes
Suggestions to the Board
of Education

So that the school children may
see the parade and afternoon per-
formance of the circus next Tuesday
afternoon without going behind in
their school work. Mayor William G.
Wilson has communicated with A. c.
Clark, president of the BOARD of edu-
cation, suggesting that a half holi-
day be declared on that day.
In former years when a half holi-
day was declared the children go to
school at o'clock in the morning
and remain until Il o'clock without
recess. This enables them to devote
as much time TO their studies as If
there were two sessions. The mayor
wants the same plan carried out this
year.
The school board viii take the
suggestion of the mayor under con-
sideration at a meeting on Monday
night. The parochial schools of the
city are not under the direction of
the school board and therefore will
act on the suggestion Independently
The mayor says that this plan will
do away with truancy on this day
for it is often the case that when
permission is not given for time of
10 see pdIdu6 dl4Q pGAAUL AIAahEGs
many children remain away from

lows:
Perth Amboy, y. J., May ~.
president, Board OF Education,
MIR. A. c. Clark.
Dear Sir:
"As you perhaps are aware, We
will have a circus in Perth Amboy
on Tuesday, May Is, and in order
that the school children may have
an opportunity to attend the after
noon performance and see the par
ade at noon. permission for a half
holiday is necessary.
II am hoping that you will see
your way clear to declare Tuesday
afternoon as a holiday in the schools.
If I remember correctly this permis-
sion was given last year. am max
ing this communication public SO
that those in charge OF the parochial
schools with whom 1 have not COM
municsted as Yet, may see the same.
~ ours truly,
