SMITH'S CUN STORE,
IDITAROD, ALASKA
The Iditarod public school closed for the season last Thursday
afternoon. The closing exercises, under the direction of Mr. A. M.
Kilgore, the teacher, consisted of actual school work followed by
the recitation by each pupil of an appropriate selection. While the
younger pupils were reading the older ones worked examples in
long division up to seven figures with remainders, proving them
hy multiplication. These pupils afterwards wrote, from dictation,
numbers running into the trillions, and correctly pointed off and
rend equally long ones. This was followed by addition of mixed
numbers where the fractions had to be reduced to common denomi
nators before adding. This number work was prompt and thor
ough, and would have been creditable to much older pupils.
The younger pupils showed their progress in addition and sim
ple multiplication. All the pupils read selections, a page or more
in length. The number work of Aileen Lowell and Donald Mc
Donald was especially noteworthy.
Sigrid McDonald and Bob Aeheson were especially good in re
citations. William Blodgett, allowing for age, was the best reader
where all did well.
Ice cream and cake were served by the pupils.
The session lasted from 1:30 to 3:30, every moment being occu
pied. It was a good progress and all visitors were pleased with
the proficiency shown.
The school board expressed themselves as being well pleased
with conduct of the school under Mr. Kilgore’s management.
We take great pride in supplying the wants of men, for
every article we sell has a reputation that it earned by being
put to the test.
