The Last Day of school.
The elose of the school year
last Friday was made the occa-
sion for a gala day in ^ ukon.
Each room had prepared special
excercises und long before 1
o'clock the school rooms were
crowded with visitors, who speak
in highest praise of the perform-
ance of (lie pupils, which was but
an indication of earnest endeavor
on llio part of the pupil and pa-
tient painstaking work on the
part of the teacher. The out-
pouring of the people on the
"last day" was a .just tribute to the
teachers, and an evidence that
Yukon is proud of its school.
