TEACHERS ASKED
TO WORK FREE
The public schools will close April
23, unless $2 is paid by parents of
pupils to continue the school the
regular term.
"This $2 assessment works a hard-
ship oil many^poor parents." said
Mrs. Lind today. "They can not af-
ford it and yet their children should
receive tlio additional months
schooling."
The early closing of the schools
is denounced as outrageous in many
quarters. The school board says it is
helpless. It is suggested fby Mrs.
Lind that the teachers of the public
schools hojd a meeting and arrange
plans to donate at least a portion or
their s'l"vices for the extra month.
