The st. Paul Council OF Parent
Teachers have come to the conclusion
that the pupils of the public schools
will be benefited by fewer holidays
and are joined in this belief by prom
inent educators. The purpose of
closing the schools is to attach sig
nificance to the observance of the day.
This usually calls for a program the
previous day and an early dismissal,
making one holiday and half instead
of only one. The council approves
of patriotic holidays being observed
on that day by the public school with
an appropriate program to which the
parents have been invited to attend.
In November there we're five and
half holidays in the public schools
of Minnesota. They were: Election
day, Armistice day, Thanksgiving day.
and Minnesota Education Conference
days. The educators endorsed
movement for fewer holidays and APP
proved proposal may go to the legis-
lature.
