1ngtOn VIII exist in state OF bliss.
Yesterday morning the public schools
CT the National Capital closed thei:
doors upon more than 10000 pupils until
the Goth of Eext September
In the majority of the institutions
brief exercises were held by the chill
dren, no work being required OF them.
Both girls and boys went to school ar
rayed in their neatest and prettiest
clothes.
Greatest Day of the Year.
For all of them the day was one of the
greatest occasions OF the year. The lit
tie folks appeared to be perfectly happy
and reioiced in the fact that lessons
were for them thing of the past until
next September. They danced and
shouted about in front OF the school
buildings and in the play yards and
ContTived to have q thoroughly good
time wherever they went. The teachers
INDUCED them largely and refrained as
much as possible from placing the rcd
of restraint upon the little folks and
their pleasure
Indeed the pedagogues were as glad
as the pupils to sit and watch the mer-
riment, for the holiday of the pupils
them. The recent warm spell particu-
larly has done much to make their work
a burden, as it made the children list
less and prone to neglect their work,
and necessitated additional labors on
the part of the teachers to oblige them
TO finish the prescribed course before
the end Of the year.

course of the summer vacation school
will open in the Greenleaf School Build
