THE PUBLIC SCHOOL
 VACATION EXTENDED
School Will Be Resumed One Week
 From This Morning.

The Tempe pupnc school will con tinue its fair week vacation one week longer and school will not open here until a week from this morning This has been decided upon on account of the diphtheria epidemic that has been prevalent here for the past week or ten days. This epidemic, according to the best of authority. is now under perfect control and there is no reason whatever for the public to be alarmed So many families have been placed under quarantine, however, that the trustees of the public school. depend ing as they do upon the attendance for the support of the institution, feel that it will be better to wait one week By that time many families that are now under quarantine will be released and the attendance will be well up to- ward the average. The other schools will open this morning as usual, it is understood
 During the past week both the pub lie school and the high school build ings have been thoroughly disenfected and no further spread of the disease is anticipated. Every precaution has been taken by the local authorities and physicians and the matter is not now regarded as especially serious. The few cases in town have been compara- lively light and only two deaths have resulted. One of these was a Mexican child and the fatal result was more due to the lack of proper care than to the disease.

 Under the circumstances, Mir. Dana did not feel as though he could prose cute the man, but took the team and outfit and brought them home.
