 REPLY TO PETITIONERS. ''To the members of the Phoenix pub
 lie schools,
 Practitioners to the board of trus-
 tees:
 ''The board of trustees of school district No. l, have given careful con- sideration to the petition presented to them by you, to dismiss school during carnival week, and appreciate the statements made in making said peti- tion, and in arriving at it's decision has tried to act solely for the good of the schools and it's members, and has con- cluded to dismiss school on Monday and Friday only, of said week, and have regular sessions on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.
 Tn reaching this decision, the board took into consideration facts, as fol- lows: During the week following car nival Teachers Institute will be held; the week following that comes in the Christmas holidays; both Christmas and New Years come on Tuesday. It is not advisable to hold school either on the day before Christmas or the day before New Years; so, if school were dismissed for all of carnival week there would be no school from Decem- Der 7th to January 2nQ.
 Any time lost now on account of vacations would have to be made up at the end of the term. It is perhaps not necessary to call attention to the fact that the closing days of school are in very hot weather. To be compelled by reasons of extra vacations now to extend said time still farther into the hot weather would work hardship on every member of the school, which reason would perhaps seem more po- tent to him during that time than now. | ''Appreciating the cordial spirit in which this petition was presented, as- suring the petitioners that the inter ests of the members of the schools are
 
 tees, and trusting that the decision of | the board will be satisfactory to you, We remain your well wishers,
 "B. A. FTCKAS, i
