Propaganda.
Propaganda work has been very actively carried on during

1924, at Easter all the schools were sent a placard entitled
" Holiday Hints," on which were printed some hints in respect
to the best way to spend the time during a holiday (e.g., spend
your holiday in the open air, do not play in the streets, but go
to one of the Parks or open spaces, etc., etc.).
