At a meeting Of the City Board of

OF course, will necessitate the schools
running one week longer next June
ana, while the children will be re-
joiced at this notice, their Joy will not
be so acute next summer. However,
NO great hardship will be entailed
on;any one: The Board of Education
feels that IL will be better to wait one
