November 11 still remains a holiday and schools will con- tinue to be closed on that date. This is set by a statute of the Province of Ontario. and it only can be changed by an act of the provincial Legislature Superintendent Gordon McIn- tyre informed “The Liberal". Prompted by an editorial which appeared in the September 29 issue of the St. Thomas Times- Journal, we made inquiries as to what had happened to the local public school board's resolu- tion on the matter. In February of this year the local school board sub- mitted a resolution. asking that the “holiday” atmo- sphere for public school students be eliminated from Remembrance Day and the day ,be spent rather in learning Why the day is observed. to the Ontario U r b a n and R u r a I School Trustees' Associa- tion meeting in Leaslde where it received a great deal of support. Later it was submitted to the Pub- lic School Trustees’ Assoc- iation at Niagara Falls: adopted by that group and forwarded to the Minister Public School Board take a few‘ minutes to consider support of’ a proposal by the Richmond Hill Public School Board to abolish the Remembrance Day holiday for elementary school children. We felt the day's holiday was hardly a suitable way to remember those who died in two world wars. A ser- vice in the schools would serve better to impress the meaning on the minds of children. “Our pedantic cannon, it seems, was fired too late. The St. Thomas Board had already as long ago as last spring, set its sights on the same target. Board Chairman John Dufton advises us. without being stuf- fy about our tardiness. that the board supported a resolution at the spring meeting of the Ontario School Trustees Assoc- iation that Remembrance Day be dropped as a statutory hol- iday and that appropriate pro- grams be held in the schools to replace the holiday. "Obviously. great minds think alike. It takes ours just a little longer to shift into high gear. For this we hang our diminished head in shame, but do commend St. Thomas trustees for their support of the association's resolution.

Thanksgiving Weekend In February of this year the local school board sub- mitted a resolution, asking that the “holiday" atmo- sphere for public school students be eliminated from Remembrance Day and the day be spent rather in learning why the day is observed. to the Ontario Urban and Rural School Trustees’ Associa- tion meeting in Leaside where it received a great deal of support. Later it was submitted to the Pub- lic School Trustees’ Assoc- iation at Niagara Falls; adopted by that group and forwarded to the Minister of Education.
