SCHOOLS CLOSING CELEBRATED BY
 NOVEL EXERCISES
Sitka Government School Gives Demonstration of
 Work of the Term.
Special Correspondence.

SITKA. May 3-Closing Day exer, cises at the Sitka Government School last Thursday evening dem onstrated what had been done dur ing the year in practical training for citizenship of the pupils of the school under the direction of the teacher, Mrs. M. c. Holman.
 All year the school worked under a constitution with regularly elected officers who sat in session and planned laws for it. The school itself sat as judicial body, judg ing lapses in conduct and provid- ing deterrent measures. During the closing exercises a trial of boy accused of smoking was held and he was acquitted for lack of suf- fcient evidence. Between the prac- tical demonstrations of the workings were made.
 Another novel feature during the evening was the dramatization of "Hiawatha.' Mrs. Ray James read the story while the eight or more characters, including Nokomis, Hia- watha and Minnehaha moved about in an improvised world of birds and spruce boughs.
 A very complete exhibit showed what had been accomplished in drawing, designing, weaving. map work. sewing, arithmetic and Ian guage The sewing was very neat and the papers on all subjects that was most commendable and credit to both pupils and instructor.
 Mrs. Holman, the teacher, will leave on the next steamer for Chig' nix, Kodiak Island, where she will do social service work during the coming summer.
 Bishop P T. Rowe arrived in the city last Saturday on the E. D. M and conducted services at the Epis' cOpal church last Sunday. J. R. Dunlop, who has been in the cable service here for the past year left on the Estebeth to return south via Juneau. He is going to Fort Lawton, Wash.
 Sitka is to have tennis club il enough pefsons become sufficiently enthusiastic to warrant the building of board court. At the first meet ing Tuesday night a constitution and bylaws was adopted for the club but no definite plans for funds were mapped out.
