RlL0 BOARDING SCHOOL.
JUBILEE CELEBRATION.

The jubilee year OF this school
has come around, and the fact was
celebrated in connection with the
usual annual exercises of the closing
school year. The examination of
classes took place on Thursday and
Friday, the oath and 25th of June.
Work in English, Arithmetic, Algc-
bra, History, Map Drawing, ETC.,
was shown. The examining commit
tee, Rev. A. o. Forbes, of Homo
lulu, Rev. j. B. Hanaike, of Lihue,
and Mr.. w. w. Hall, of Honolulu,
expressed themselves as well pleased
with what they saw. The examlna-
tions were chiefly noticeable for the
number of former pupils who came
together from homes scattered from
Kau to Kauai.
Sunday, the Rev. A. Pail, of La
haiua, former pupil, preached a
memorial sermon from the text, ga
city that is set on hill cannot be
hidden" The sermon was well,
and even enthusiastically received
by the vast congregation which filed
Hail Church. What memories were
brought up to those who had been
connected with the school in years
long gone by, as the preacher spoke
of former pupils and their work in
the interests of better living in their
various fields of labor from Hudson
Bay TO the islands of the south Paci-
fic Ocean! How eagerly every word
said about the beloved teachers
the two beloved above all the rest
either on Sunday or any other day
of the jubilee exercises, was caught
up by those whose course of action,
whose character, whose very lives
had been so greatly influenced by
Father and Mother Lyman!
Sunday afternoon was given to a
meeting in the interests of Christian
education in generel. Representa-
tives spoke for Lahainaluna Semi
nary, Kawaiahao Seminary, Maka-
wac Seminary, and Kamehameha
Schools. Rev. Mr.. Kekuewa spoke
with deep feeling of the condition
of Kohala Seminary. If his appeal
for teachers could he heard by some
of the devoted women of America,
it is hardly conceivable that the
doors of the school would remain
closed much longer-not because
there are no pupils, not because
there are not facilities for teaching
them, but because there are none
to teach them.
Tuesday following was set apart
for temperance exercise at HALL
Church, followed by a street parade
and luou at the school grounds.
This was under the joint auspices of
the w. G. L. L. and the boarding
school. The assembly at the church
was large. Fully five hundred peo-
pie joined in the procession under
temperance banners. Hilo Board
ing School, Hilo Foreign School,
Hilo Union School, Hail Sunday
School with all of its district
branches, and the Chinese Sunday
School marched in bodies.
Tuesday evening the former
pupils of the boarding school held
meeting at Hail Church ut which
old memories were recalled and old
stories told as is usual on such oeca-
sions. Many of the incidents men
toned will be source of inspira-
lion and encouragement to those
who now enjoy such increased adj
vantages.
This was perhaps the great day
of the feast" TO the majority. The
subject of temperance, of course,
was not exhausted, but it seems GER
tain that the temperance sentiment
of the community was increased.
The ir0u was vast subject and
ample justice seemed to be done to
it. But at the end it was found
that this "subject" was by no means
exhausted.
Wednesday evening was the time
for the regular annual exhibition
and graduating exercises of the
boarding school. 1t is not neces-
sary TO say that this was the occa-
sion of greatest interest to the pupils.
All went off smoothly, and the boys
without exception did themselves
credit. Messrs. Moses Kuaans,
