Few fixed events of Importance are scheduled for the week, as Is to be expected at the one season of the year given over by practically everyone to fnmlly celebrations. During the latter part of the week there will be conventions of school teachers without number. The custom of holding the annual meetings of the state educational associations dur ing the Christmas vacation week has spread In recent years until it now prevails In nearly every state of the union.
