SOHOOt. HOLIDAYS., (To the Editor of the StASJ9ARi>) Sir, — Can yon inform sotnfe of tile h-als (f families here who has the power to grant holidays to the children attending the S'ate School t Is it in the hands of the matter or the School Committee 1 I was very much surprised to hear on Tuesday fast, when ray children came home from school, that there was to be a day’s holiday on Wednesday. ( I asked the reason, arid the children said odd of ihe teachers was to be married. Now, pir, considering the children leceived a holiday .when that same teacher left the jschopl. |. don’t see-.why every even* of her life; shoiilct give jtplidws wholesale to the children of other people. A lid thh nptter is not made be'ter owing to the tact that some Utile time ago the teachers and Children were desirous of bidding farewell to a most estimable young lady, who had that day been married, and was leaving ndaii of Her childhood for ever, Applicatioti was made to.tlie Chairman of the School Committee for a half-day holiday, and although he knew great preparation had been made, and the event looked forward to fot some time, he refused the application on public grounds in the name of the Committee, whom 1 believe he did jymSult on the subject. The master tool; the blatter up,, arid rightly, pn. ,his own authority, and gave the childferi • one hoar’s holiday. Now, air, though I have a great deal of respect for the lady teacher that was, yet I object to this abuse of authority, and say the Chairman has actedjin a most unfair manner ; in fact, it seems to me he has strained at a gnat and swallowed a camel. As a matter of principle, I must protest against my children being sent home from school two days for no purpose, especiaUy as the chairman admitted himself on a former occasion (when his own family were not interested) it was not right on puli lie grounds. 1 am, &c., Pealharston, April 27th, 1881.
