SCHOOL'S OUT! TO
“TAKE IN" JAN. ?
Vacation Is One of Longest on
Record. Owing to Highly
Popular Calendar.
Atlanta school children kept one eyo
on the clock and the other on Christ
mas shopping lists all through today’s
session, and there wasn't an eye left
for lessons. Nobody could have expect
ed a boy or girl to think about the
boundaries of North Dakota or the
number of times one can insert 12 1-2
into 97 without any left-overs when
Christmas day is only a few days
ahead. This was the last day of school
for two weeks.
The report was circulated at the Da
vis Street school that in futu there
wouldn’t be any last day. Johnny Duf
fy brought in a rumor that Superin
tendent Slaton, having observed how ■
little work was done on the last ’day.
had decided to make that also a holiday I
in future. No official verification of the i
rumor has been given out.
School will not “take hi" again until j
January 2, the day after New Year, and i
the vacation this season is one of the I
longest on record. It happened that J
way because the calendar happened '
that way. Christmas comes next Wed- |
neseiay. as everybody more than a year ,
old knows. And even the board of ed
ucation knew there wouldn't be the
slightest use in having school on Mon- ‘
day and Tuesday, with the teachers all j
having their minds on presents for the I
sweethearts— and from them—and neg- i
lecting the pupils who would ;>•, study
ing so hard and so anxious to. recite.
So the board anil Mr. Slaton decided to
scratch off all the days betwet n 'today
and the day after New Year’s lira! let.
everybody have u good time. e
