time the prize has been given, it being a special

In the ID none the less can be said; and English
grammar is especially deserving of praise. The

is due to the recipient Of the prize, he being
also Il pure Hawaiian. and one who, last year,
was considerably behind those of his own class.
This year he stands alone, ana far in advance,
his geometry anI euclid being especially COM

In the I'd class, in several cases, careful study
and preparation are very marked: two of the
boys here very closely push each other, and

REPORT OF Mr.. FURNEAUX.
In response to your kind invitation to visit
your school and examine the drawings made by
the pupils during the past school year anA in
compliance with your request, | respectfully sub
nit the following report.
The drawings executed by j. AhOlo, exhi-
bit marked improvement over last years work
and 1 may say, as specimens of copyingit would
be difficult to find work of equal excellence in
any public schOol-at least work of such II
standard is seldom met with. 1t is to be re-
GREETED that with such talent as he possesses
there should be no provision made for an adj
yalced course of study. AaOlO is we'll prepared
to take "A course of study in drawing from the
round or from nature. The same may TO a GER
tain EXTENT apply to L. Stiles, whose copy book
exhibits careful work. The excellent copy exc
cuted by 5. Akana suggests that Il course of les
sons in %geometrix or freehanl mechanical draw
ing would prove advantageous.
In view of the fact of Aholo being the recip-
lent of the first prize last year, I would suggest
that Akana be awarded the honor this year. If
two prizes could be awarded, then. in justice to
Aholo whose work fully entitled him to receive
the first prize, L would suggest he be awarded
the same. giving the second prize to Akana,
and, honorable mention to E. Stiles.
SECOND DIVISION.
Here the work plainly indicate the excellent
course of instruction pursued, which makes it
possible to arrive at such results as sho wa in
the first division. The best book and best sin
gle example is by LeIoa, who Is entitled to the
honor of receiving the first prize. The second
best is by E. Cook. The example in curved lines
by A. Mitchell is deserving of special mention.
Thanking you for the privilege of visiting
your school I remain very respectfully yours
GHAs. FURNEAUx.
