the following statement:
The schools will not be closed

school officers will honor the ex-

TT will also be permissible for
teachers in schools within a rea-
sonap1e distance to conduct their
classes to and from the line Of
march.
1T has long been considered un-
wise to close the schools and release
to the downtown streets 10000
children, ranging in age from S to
18 years, because it would impose
too much burden upon the trans
portation system and also upon
the police department to handle
the situation. 1t would also in
