fall term opens in September If con- tractors, now erecting the structures, live up to their contracts. Provision is made in each contract that the school is to be completed in time for the fall term.
 Approximately s200,OO0 is being ex- pended by the city in the construction of these three grade schools. An other S500,000 is going into two new structures in the high school group. including a liberal arts building and a domestic science building.
 Congestion in grade schools of the city during the present term has been so acute that the board of educa- tion has, in many instances. been obliged to construct temporary struc- lures to relieve the situation. The new structures now under way will relieve this situation permanently and provide facilities for many years to come, it is believed.
 One of the structures is being erected at Jackson street and Nine teenth avenue. It will be known as the Jackson street school. Construc ton was started some time ago by Clinton CampelL contractor, under

MANY SCHOOLS TO
 CLOSE FOR SUMMER
 O|V COMING FRIDAY

With the exception of the Phoenix Union high school and the Phoenix grammar schools, all schools in the county will be closed for the summer vacation by Friday night, A. L. Jones. county superintendent of schools, said yesterday Some of the district schools are closed now, he said and the others will close today or Friday The Peoria high school, he said, al ready has closed, and the other high schools with the exception of the Phoenix high school will hold their commencement exercises on Friday The Phoenix schools started a week later than the other schools in the county and for that reason will not finish the nine months of the school year until next week.
 The past school year, Mir. Jones said, has been the most successful one for several years. Although the average daily attendance has not been compiled for the county, Mir Jones estimates that it will be larger than it has been for many years There has been less absence from the schools on account sickness this year than in former years. Last year and the year before that, the flu" kept a large number of pupils from school, but this year the flu" has not affected the attendance
 The average daily attendance will be compiled after the records are re-
