Oahu College.

The annual examination of Oahu College took
place on the eth, Sth, 9th and 18th Of June. 1t was
a very impartial and thorough examination, no class
being omitted. The first day was devoted more es-
pecially to the classes of the primary department., all
of which did well, particularly the reading class.
Throughout the examination we noticed with pleasure
the attention which was paid to this usually some
what neglected exercise. The second day was also
spent in the examination of the younger portion Of
the school, an interesting feature being a spelling
match in which, after a severe struggle, the we'll
earned prize was borne of by Miss Mag Richardson.
On the third day the examination of the more ad-
vanced classes was commenced. Both the classes ia.
Geometry did we'll. The recitation in Rhetoric was
a very pleasant one, and did great credit to the
teacher, Miss Trowbridge. The reading in Mr..
Pratt's division was thoroughly enjoyed by all. The
day closed with a spelling match between the older
scholars. The contest between the last two, Master
Arthur Richardson and Miss Kate Mossman, was
close; but at length an unfortunate word, to the
chagrin of the boys and the delight of the girls,
foored Master Richardson, leaving Miss Mossman to
carry of the prize, a handsome dictionary. ~
On the last day. the recitation of Mr.. Pratt's class
in Outlines of History was one to be remember
ed with pleasure. Mr.. Damon's class in Virgil, was
as usual q success. The Rhetorical exercises occu-
pied the afternoon Of the last day, every one Of which
was fine. The recitations delivered by the young
ladies could scarcely have been improved; we could
hear every word, and think the boys had better look
to their laurels. The audience were favored with
Weber's ola Polacca,'' well executed by the al
ready famous pianist, Miss Castle. We were filled
with regret that the Centennial Echo " was to die
go young. The compositions were all well written
and well read.
The entire exercises, from the first class Wednes-
day morning to the final song Monday afternoon,
were a credit to both teachers and scholars. There
were faults; but for our part we should much rather
in every examination see a few faults. The au-
dience, through the kindness and skill Of Mrs Pratt,
were provided each day with an abundance OF the
good things Of this life. We very much regret that
there is to be any change in teachers for the coming
year. The past year has been one of both work and
Mr.. Pratt is evidently the right man
in the right place" and long may be remain with
US as President Of Oahu College. /

Haleakala School, East Maui.

The annual examination of this school for boys, was
held on Thursday, June 8, and was largely attended
by an interested audience of natives and foreigners,
who, by their frequent expressions of applause,
showed that they were much pleased with the exer-
cises. We quote from a correspondent
"The school-room was crowded at an early hour,
and from the beginning to the end of the examina-
ton there was exhibited on the part of the teachers
an earnest endeavor to draw out the capabilities of
the scholars; and this was satisfactorily responded to
by the latter in their answers to the various questions
propounded. We were struck with the range of
topics. Arithmetic " embraced questions of prac-
teal Importance not found in the books, but of first
value to the resident of these Islands; /" Geography
Tin which super-excellence was shown embraced a
wider range than is usually seen in its study; and
the questions in Orthography evinced careful study,
and a sensible idea of what is demanded Of the
young Hawaiian.
Ease Of delivery, correctness of gesture, and
distinctness in e~locution, made the duty of listening
TO the selections a pleasure.
80 One thing struck us as peculiarly happy-the
majority of the pieces spoken gave prominence to
our duties and obligations to God; and as all the
pieces spoken lcere the selections Of The scholars them
seiUeS, we are lead to the inference that . out of the
abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh."

VOLUME XXI.

With the issue for July Isl, commences
MERCIAL ADVERTISER, and the occasion
will afford an appropriate opportunity for
those who have not heretofore become sub
scribers to do so, and for those whose
subscriptions expire at that date TO renew
them, by the payment of Five Dollars in
advance. The system of payment in adj
vance, it will be apparent, is much the
best for patrons as Well as for the printer.
Besides the saving of a dollar, there cam
not but be a feeling of satisfaction in the
reflection that ones paper is paid for a
year ahead, instead of being called on by
and bye to pay Six Dollars for an enjoy
ment that has passed and on the other
hand it is hardly fair TO compel the prin-
ter to wait a year for the small sum
which he demands for fifty-two issues,
besides keeping your account.
With the brighter prospect before the
country which Reciprocity assures, we
appeal with confidence to the public for
a renewal and an increase of that support
which the ADVERTISER has enjoyed in
the past, p~ledging, on our part, that no
effort shall be spared to make it a well
come visitor to every household through
the land-our aim, the advancement
of the best interests of the whole country.
