In Kept nu Washington's Birthday.
Hr. Edam—I was somewhat surpris-
ed at the temper and statements of an
article published in your Issue of the 24th
lust. and sIgned by “School Vultor.’
He calls the discussion of the city
schools on Ifondsy by tho priocipsl ”n
ssd'"! sorry picture of lnnubordlnstiuu."
Is this a correct statement? It seems to
be far from it. Insubordination is dis-
obrdiencstolnwful authority. Whore
does the school board get its authority to
say thet‘tho ‘schools shall be kept on
. Wuhiugton'a bleth‘duy? The General
Statutes. Section 2.135, provides that the
board “shall prescribe rules for the man-
sgcsncnt, studies, classification and die
cipliuo of the public schools."
But the was not intended to give their)
the power to fix the time of the com-
mcuccrucnt and close of each school
term. or to say that the schools shall be
kept on holidays. The Gruesnl Statutes,
Section 2,214. provide that “the commit-
tee shall give to the secretary of the
board of school visitors notice of the
date of the commencement and close of
. each school term, within one week of
said commeucmssnt and at least four
weeks before the close respectively.” If
it was intended that the school board
should fix the school days. why should
the above duty be imposed by statute on
the district cummiltce? The district
committee hire. direct and discharge the
teachers. It is the duty of the commit
tee to see to it that the schools are kept
the rsqoieitd‘uumber of weeks. but it is
no concern of the school board how
many holidays the teachers may have.
provided the schools are kept according
to law. I believe in holidays. I believe
that all public institutions should be
closed on holidays. and especially public
schools. They are object lessons not
It is the policy of our

The teachers of our city schools saw fit
to observe the day. The lsw gives them
this prrvIIo-ge. and no school board or
committee has the right to take it from
them. Thu law says that Washington's
birthday shall he s legal holiday. The
school bonrd says it shall not.Whut are tlw
