schools in Oak Park during the
three Jewish High Holy Days
had been batted around by com-
mittees of the Oak Park Schools
and by its Board of Education

ways fought against any trend
which might endanger this
historic principle, and, should
the school closings have in-
dicated that there was an
infringement on this rule of
thumb, it would have been
