This institution is the free town school for the
District OF Hilo. 1t has absorbed Eve district
common schools formerly conducted within the
town of Hilo Its curriculum of study is carried
on in both the Hawaiian and English languages,
thus tending to give the pupil greater aptitude
than were the same studies to be pursued in
either language alone.
One of its immediate objects is the fitting Of
pupils to act as teachers in the common schools.
The corps of teachers is paid, partly from the
fund for the support of English and Hawaiian
Schools, and partly from the Hio District School
Fund. The school is advancing satisfactorily.

This school appears to be in languishing

ears in the general unpopulartY Of this class Of

hing is true in those common schools wherein
be sexes are separated. The children, in great
leasure, controlling their parents, are by these
