WORLD WAR II
During a crisis, there can be other important uses for school buildings and teachers. On February 16, 1942, schools were used by local draft boards. On May 8, school was canceled so teachers could get a day off because many of them had volunteered to help with sugar rationing registration.
In November, pupils stayed home at least two days because the city's 340 elementary schools were used to help register car owners for federal gas rationing.
