Longer Vacation for Boston Pupils
Boston grammar schools will close June 25, one week earlier than planned. The school committee approved moving the annual festival to June 25 to accommodate Mayor Collins at the Democratic convention in St Louis. Flowers for graduates cost up to 1000 dollars, and a dispute over a school book sale arose between Mrs Julia Duff and ex-president Grafton D Cushin. A bid to suspend rules for a superintendent election failed, delaying it two weeks.
