I And now, my young friends OF
/ the kamehameha schools, having
told You something of The methods
OF this Hampton school in Virginia,
! founded 10y Il son OF Hawaii, who
has given to it his very life blood,
| you may easily believe how, with
my faith in the efficiency of those
methods, and my great aloha for the
Hawaiian people, | rejoice in the
establishment of ahis admirable
school, with its ample accommoda-
tons, its MISUNDERSTANDING, and its
devoted and accomplished teachers.
1t gives me new hope for the race.
May the training you receive here
give you strength and courage for
the struggle for existence in which
the native Hawaiian is now engaged.
BY the knowledge you will acquire
here, by the habits of industry,
thrift, temperance and economy in
which you will here be trained, you
will be better fitted than the IIa-
waiian has hitherto been for the
sharp competition of other races,
with which you must inevitably con-
tend. trust you will appreciate
the great opportunities before you,
aud that you will gratefully cherish
the memory of her whose last
thoughts were for the welfare of her
people, and who has given such a
grand excmpiiication of her earnest
wishes in their behalf. Take pride
in your school and never he guilty
of practices or conduct unworthy of
a kamehameha school boy. One
summer, ut one of our eastern sea-
side resorts, where the walters at
the fashionable hotel were all Hamp-
ton students, who were thus earning
money in vacation TO pay their
school expenses, lady friend of
mine, whose room was near the din
ing room, told me that, unseen her
self, she heard the head waiter,
Hampton graduate, give the walters
their first instructions us to deporl-
ment and habits, and she was much
impressed with his judicious advice.
"Remember," she heard him say, at
the close of his remarks, "that you
are Hampton students, and do
nothing unworthy of your Alma
Mater"
The conduct of these Hampton
student walters was such as to win
the esteem and confidence of all the
guests, who,a the close of the sea-
son, raised some twelve scholarships,
for the school that gives such train
ing to its students. That same head
waiter, who has magnificent bass
voice, after doing good service at
the school as a teacher, Joined q
troupe of jubilee singers who have
just returned from very successful
tour of five years in England and
J Australia, and was in Honolulu for
q few hours last week on his return
TO Virginia, in the Alameda.
1 hope and believe that you, boys
of Kamehameha school, will also
establish high standard of char
J acter, and help each other to live up
to it, nohly and firmly in spite of
all temptations TO swerye from it.
The veal or woe of the native HIS :
, waiian race, nay their very existence
, as people, rests almost wholly with
c the boys and girls who are now in
!, the schools of the islands. Study
, the history of the group and see
what misery and disease has been
I, brought about, and how the native
| population has been diminished
9 through intemperance, Incidence an6
p sensuality, and resolve with all your
r heart and soul, that with Gods helr
It you will keep yourselves, and 20,
l will labor to keep others pure, and
t free from these vices. Make your
!, selves familiar with the history o
!, the benefactors of your race, whethe
d Of native or foreign birth, and strive
/ to emulate their example, by you
d own unsellish efforts for the good o
h your fellow men, however hum
It bic may be your sphere of duty
/, Cherish the memory of the goo,
IT King Kauikeaouli (Kamehameh'
Is III.) whose magnificent renuncia
l. ton of arbitrary power, in giving Il
d his people their kuleanas and consti
o tutional rights, is one of the grand

G faithful advisers, VIM. Richards
