Examinations at Lahainaluna.
Mr.. EDITOR: On Wednesday morning,
the 18th inst, the closing examination
of the Lahainaluna Seminary began.
Many of the boys parents, and all the
people of Lahaina who are interested in
educational matters were present,
anxious to witness the performances OF
the young men.
The exercises opened with spelling by
the sophomore and freshmen classes.
The work was performed on the black
board, each boy being so placed that it
was impossible for him to scrutinize any
other boys work. About 100 words
were given, and but two boys misspelled
any OF them. The spelling was followed
by history by the middle class, which
was very good indeed, and reflects great
credit upon Mr.. F. w. Hardy, the
teacher in history. After the history
class came grammar by the sophomore
class, and then grammar again by the
seniors anu juniors, both classes per-
forming very creditably. An intermis-
sion Of one hour was then taken, during
which time other visitors were lunched
by Mr.. Baldwin and the other teachers.
The afternoon exercises opened with the
algebra class, followed by trigonometry
and surveying, and closing at 4 p. m.
with arithmetic by the sophomores.
The work was performed in most excel
oil
ished at the rapidity with which the
boys solved the examples.
On Thursday, the 18th, geography,
history, physiology, geometry, algebra,
grammar and arithmetic were treated
with like success. The examples in
geometry were given to the pupils by
Mr.. H. G. Treadway, Deputy Sheriff OF
Maui. Each boy was given two exam
Piles, and they were all demonstrated
correctly from original figures drawn by
the BOYS. The examinations closed on
Friday, 18th, with rhetorical exercises
at the Wainee Church, Lahaina, as fol-
lows:
