The question that win come Up be-
fore the board Of education at It's next
meeting will be as to whether or not
the city schools viii remain open for
the nine months. The finance commit
tee, at their meeting yesterday, decided
TO bring the matter up at the next
meeting OF the board. and urge that
the schools run nine fun months.
The board, under the law, Is only
permitted 10 run the schools as long as
the school fund lasts. which viii be
about eight months and one week, ac-
oording to the money In sight But II
the board submits the question TO the
people and they agree upon II, the
schools can be kept open the full term.
The finance committee favors this
course The extra cost OF running the
schools the full nine months would be
between $4,000 and $40. 1000 and II would
be necessary to secure this amount by
a vote OF the people. The most cogent
reason urged for the maintaining OF
the school the complete year, In that
the present course OF study cannot be
properly completed In shorter time.

OF the articles found on them answer
