Mr. Lloyd said that the question with him was would not it be be better to name the building atter Amos Ken- Gajl, a gentleman who had done so much for the schools of the District, rather than after one who had been known only in politics to the country. Mr. Middleton remarked that Mr. Stanton was a personal friend of his, and notwithstanding that friendship he did not desire his name to be placed on the building. He, therefore, had re- ported in favor of naming the building after the Square.

Mr. Curtis opposed the resolution, saying that they should hot diserimtnate 3 10 any beliefs; but he would allow those who de- sire to be absent to do so, as do the Jewish chil- dren when their holidays occur. He thought there were few enough school days—1so—during: the year. Mr. Baldwin said he had said nothing abeut religious holidays, and he proposed to give them holiday because it was a good time of year togiveone. Mr. Lovejoy.—We now see the fruits of the teachings of Robert G. Inger- soll. Mr. Curtis said tf rsoll’s children went to the schools they would have no right to say to him on Good Friday or other “we cannot teach your children ‘to-day, AUSe some of us believe differently from him.” Mr. Fairley said he did not believe much would be lost by a holiday. Mr. Smith remarked although there were but one hundred and eighty school days the scholars and teachers were hard worked, and no harm could result from a holt Mr. Curtis moved to strike out, the words “Good Friday” and ‘‘Easter Monday” and insert 25th and 26th of March, so that but one week would be broken.
