sued by Hoyt Fogg & Donham, contains a
mass of accurate statistical, official political,
personal and business information of the ut
most value to any man who desires to keep

The School Vacation

To the Editor of the Press:
MY DEAR Mr.. McINTYRE:-Lasty year the
School Committee made a mistake in reckon
ing our vacation, ,and gave us a week too much,
which was bully, but we used it all up then.
Now they are going to take it out this year by
running week into July instead of closing
June 9th, which 1 don't think is fair. If the
committee can't reckon forty weeks without
losing one they ought to stand the loss them
selves and not cheek it out of us. Wouldn't
they chuck our average down, though, if we
should misssuch an easy sum as that?
