O'Shea has clamped down the lid on the acceptance of gifts by teachers from pupils or parents. Although there is a by-law forbidding this. Dr. O'Shea in a circular letter to principal and district superintendents today calls for the strict enforcement of this regulation, which has been pretty much of a dead letter. He has received complaints, he said of one teacher ac cepting a fur coat and another a tailored suit from some well-wishing parents.

In many of the schools Christmas parties are held before the holidav. at which gifts are given to pupils by teachers, and many pupils reciprocate by giving the teacher something. Although Dr. O'Shea does not ban these parties, he asks teachers not to accept any gift that may cost even a nickel. 7 In their essays pupils are to answer these questions: What in your opinion are the four most common causes of fire inside he home? What precautions should you as block eat pa ins take to prevent a fire from occurring In your home?
