Also an item covering the request of the Mini'tte. of Educe- tion—that pupils who are enrolled in schools or grades which are not caned duriug September and who during the sutu nor holidays were employed in essential work connected with the food supply and w'iose services are required further are asked to remain at their work during ,iegtember.
