Bulletin" During the past two weeks |
examinations, both oral and written, /
have been in progress throughout the |
school. The result is beyond the aver
age, and this is owing to the excellent |
method OF teaching adopted by Brother
Bertram and his able assistants, Brothers |
Thomas, Louis, Frank, Albert, Joseph, |
Edward, Charles, Bernard and Henry /
At this school every pupil receives a /
thorough foundation, which, as every
one knows, is bound to bring forth good |
results. In many of our schools the
primary department is more or less
neglected. The examination yesterday
was confined to the first class, consisting
OF twelve pupils, with Brother Thomas
as teacher The following was the
orler of the programme, which COM
menced at O'Clock l. Song, "Wel-

was exceedingly good, every word being
distinctly heard. But when geometry
was reached some very clever work was
done by the boys, far above what was
expected The most difficult problems
were worked out to the entire satisfac-
ton OF those among the audience who
were able to Judge. In all the other sub
jects the pupils appeared to be perfectly
at home, and quick and ready with their
answers The recitations were well rem
dered, particularly that by Vincent Fer
nandez, who was much applauded for
his efforts. One of the Brothers accom-
panied the songs on the piano, and here
the result of careful training in music
was shown.
On the outside of the building We're
hung up specimens of crayon, pencil and
mechanical drawings, and penmanship.
All of these were highly creditable pro-
auctions, and attracted considerable at
tention from the large audience present.
An inspection of the premises was
made, and every building was found to
be in the neatest order. Great care is
taken as regards sanitary matters.
MILITARY DRILL.
At 2 O'Clock in the afternoon the
boarders of the college participated in
military drill on the parade ground.
There was large crowd of spectators
EEEeSSseRttncyH Wa arMtdfP MAJESTY the King, His
of the Board of Education; the French
Commissioner Monsieur Henri Feer and
; Mrs. Feer, Hon. J. L. Kaululou, Hon.
H. NJ. Whitney, and Major Hoapili
Baker. were among those present.
The proceedings opened with a selec-
ton by the College Band, under direc-
ton of Brother Bernard. Since the in
struction of the band has been in the
hands OF the Brothers its playing has
steadily increased in proficiency. 1t was
remarkable the way the selections were
played yesterday. The time was per-
feet, and the volume of tone produced
was surprising. Each selection was de-
servedly applauded.
The drill was given by the boarders of
the college, who were all neatly attired
in white. They marched on to the pa
rade ground, headed by Hawaiian flag,
the several companies having their own
colors. Brother Joseph put them through
a series of military evolutions, all of
which were we'll executed.
The year just closed at this school has
been very successful one in every re-
spect. The number of scholars at the
present time is nearly four hundred, and
if there was only accommodation this
number would be considerably increased.
This afternoon the closing exercises will
take place, commencing at O'Clock. A
good programme has been prepared for
the occasion.
