CHRISTMAS NOT A SCHOOL HOL-
IDAY THIS YEAR

In Section 81 of the School Law is
found the following provision with
reference to school holidays:
"The school month shall consist of
twenty days on which school is kept
in session for the full number of
hours prescribed by law, but in any
case where Thanksgiving Day, Christ
mas Day, or any day on which a gen.
eral election is held shall fall ON a
school day and school is taught on
on the day preceding or following,
such day shall be counted the same
as taught in the report of the teacher
for pay for the school month in which
1t occurs"
This year Christmas Day comes on
Saturday, which is not school day
and for that reason under the wording
of the statute referred to it is not
legal holiday for teachers to be al
lowed either Friday or Monday as
holiday to be observed as Christmas
Day. The same ruling is also appli-
cable to New Years Day. It cannot
be observed this year as a legal schoo,

HOUSEHOLD NOTES
Dutch Housewives Led the Way

Dutch housewives were the first to
preserve pineapple. These thrifty set
tiers of Fernambock, back in the
seventh century contrived way to
make a pineapple preserve which
they sent back to Holland in large
consignments. The first gifts of it
brought many requests for more.
These gifts, borne by the slow old
sailing vessels were the forerunners
of the huge consignments of pine
apple which are now sent in prepared
form from Hawaii to all the rest Of
the world.
