Suggests
That,

Discretion
Be
Exercised
in
The
much-discussed
edict
of
Hon.
Joshua
Hlnchllffe.
minister
of
education,
that
daily
saluting
of
the
Union
Jack
should
be
a
matter
of
school
routine
was
discussed
at
the
meeting
of
the
local
school
bard
last
night
and.
after
some
debate
on
the
matter,
the
chairman
was
authorized
to
Interview
the
principals
on
the
subject.
Intimating
to
them
that.
In
view
of
weather
conditions
and
other
circumstances
here,
some
discretion
might
be
exercised
in
local
observance
of
the
regulation.

who
brought
the
matter
up,
was
of
the
optnion
that
it
was
a
physical
Impossibility
;
to
comply
with
the
regulation
here,
owing
principally
to
the
weather.,
There
was
only
the
one
school
with
,
an
auditorium
which
might
be
used
in
rainy
weather.
He
suggested
thatj
the
regulation
might
be
observed
in
spirit
if
not
in
fact
here
and
thatj
it
be
suggested
to
the
teachers
not
to
overdo
the
matter.
He
did
riot
believe
that
flag
raising
and
saluting
was
essential
to
true
patriotism.
In
any
case,
It
was
part
of
the
duties
of
the
Janitors
to
raise
and
lower
the
flag
dally
here.
Trustee
W.
O.
Fulton
agreed
with
the
views
that
had
been
voiced
by
Trustee
GUll.
It
was
agreed
that
the
chairman
should
convey
the
attitude
of
the
board
on
the
matter
to
the
principals.
As
for
Booth
Memorial
School,
it
was
stated
that
the
ceremony
of
saluting
the
flag
had
already
been
a
practice
there
for
some
years.
Mlsa
