Monday as the Weekly School Holiday
“A GEORGIA educational journal suggests that Monday, instead of Saturday, be chosen for the weekly school holiday. The argument is that, as a rule, no part of Saturday is taken for study of the lesson to be recited on the succeeding Monday, but that this duty is postponed to Sunday, if it is performed at all. The New England Journal of Education, noting a common remark among teachers, that Monday morning generally brings to the school-room stupid brains, thinks that the idea deserves respectful consideration.” This move is noteworthy as showing the prevailing tendency to ignore those whose consciences lead them to observe the seventh day as a day of rest from all secular affairs.
