"NO-SCHOOL" SIGNAL.
The signal is given by direction of the Superintendent of Schools.
The School Committee has adopted the following regu- lations respecting the "no-school" signals :
The "no-school" signal, when given at 8 o'clock a. m., indicates that there will be no morning session in grades 1, 2 and 3.
When given at 8.30 a. m. indicates that there will be no school in all grades.
When given at 11.15 indicates that there will be no afternoon session for grades 1, 2 and 3.
When given at 11.45 indicates that there will be no afternoon session for all grades.
The "no-school" signal in Precinct A will be given on the fire alarm by three strokes of the bell twice repeated, making nine strokes in all, thus: * ** ***
In Precinct D, or Bondsville, the "no-school" signal will be given by ringing the school bell.
In other precincts the "no-school" signal will be given by three blasts on the steam chime whistles, each from 3 to 5 seconds' duration, a pause between each blast of from 3 to 5 seconds, thus : , It will also be sound- ed by the chime whistle of the Wright Wire Company.
The "no-school" signal does not affect the High School ; sessions are held there every day.
