number- of public and high schools closed last friday for the holiday season while others re mained open until tuesday since school boards have no power- to close the school that being the prerogative of the dept of education we wonder who gave the authority in so many cases to close before the end of the term friday was the natural time to close but the law makers never give any thought to making things convenient in this way schools thai closed on friday are bound to mark the school register for the balance of the term showing thepupils as ab sent and this goes against grants man reported dead reads owmo no sooner had we published his obituary notice last week than the subject of the item stepped into the newspaper office very much alive in stead of pointing a gun at the editor he rather liked the novelty and didnt blame us at all he blamed it all on the women bert noble tor onto onearmed subject of the obit uary had it all figured outybefore he reached us mr nclile said that his 87 year old father george noble died sud denly in toronto and that he bert delegated his wife to relay the news to stouffville by telephone mrs noble contacted friends here who brought the information to the news paper somewhere on the wires the impression was given that it was 55 yearold bert noble that was dead and the paper accepted the news in good faith bert says he is a long way from being a dead man yet although one arm is off right to his body when he appeared like a ghost on the streets of stouffville he was accompanied by his wife who like her husband had only the use of one arm it seems that at the funeral for mr noible sr the woman walking in rather a shocked condition stumbled at the graveside and was descending into the aperture in tended for the dead when she was rescued on the- downward dive that broke her arm or dislocated her shoulder mrs noble said that she was in such condition that it was possible she could have muddled the report which indicated that bert was dead rather than his father her unceremonious descent at the graveside is evidence that some thing was wrong and that the woman was suffering from nerves and weakness i v after alll its more fun to he re ported dead and be able to read it than if such a report is really true sayaijmr noble anyway theres no use in a onearmed man getting mad for what can he do- his jocular friends greeted
