KAWAlAHA0 SEMINARY.
Brief of BuilGings--The
New Hospital Cottage.


A visit was made by BULLETIN
representative this morning to this
noble institution. From the double
gate in front two drives divcrge and
converge again at the front entrance
to the building. 1t is better to en-
ter by one drive at time. The i'm
posing structure which fronts to-
ward the visitor is really made up of
three buildings under one roof. The
newspaper man was met ut the door
by Miss Hopper who has charge of
the sewing room and to her skillful
pilotagc and patient explanation is
indebted for the array of facts here
presented. The central portion of
this building is called Sage Hall and
was erected through the bencfactions
of Miss Sage. On the right facing
the street is an addition presented
to the Seminary by the late Mrs.
c. II. Bishop and called Pauahi
Hall. On the left facing the same
is Rice Hall, the gift of Mr.. and
Mrs. Rice of Kauai. The two addi-
tions extend some distance further
back than Sage Hall.
The lower floor Of Pauahi Hall is
taken up by large dining-room,
kitchen and storc-room separated
from each other by passages. Above
the dining-room is dormitory of 81
milar size, TO which are assigned
thirty pupils. Upstairs also in the
Pauahi Hall are three teachers
rooms which with Railways and pas
sagcs take up the remaining space
of that story.
Downstairs the reporters notions
of the boundary between Pauahi and
Sage Halls are rather misty. From
the dining room to Rice's Hall in the
lower story the space is taken up by
the sewing-room, reception room,
guest room, parlOr, library room,
kindergarten schoolrOOm and the
necessary Railways. Upstairs are
four teachers rooms.
Rice Hall contains downstairs the
assembly room with seating capa-
city of 1870. School was in session
with Miss Davis in charge. About
thirty pupils were engaged in their
various exercises. Completing the
lower story of this addition are two
schoolrooms whose combined width
equals the length of the assembly
room. They are in charge of Miss
Rolston and Miss lIoppin, who in
struct thirty-four and twenty-six pu-
pills respectively. The upper story
consists of two large dormitories
accommodating sixty and forty girls
each. The dOrmitorcs are provided
with an ample lavatory and the We
randall space of the front is cnclos-
ed with lattice work and devoted to
the storage of trunks, etc.
There were a number of sick girls.
The amiable guide led the way to
the new hospital in process of cree
ton. This building is detached at
present but will be connected with
Pauahi Hall by covered passage
way. 1t, Is 4 substantial One-story
cottage and will contain ward *
feet by II feet, nurse room - feet
by II feet, bathroom s feet by s
feet, closet 6 feet by II feet and an
enclosed verandah room s feet by
l. feet. This addition to the com
fort of the school is in the hands of
Mr.. Wilhelm, contractor. Returning
from the visit of inspection the
"shower and the Showed were me,
by troop of about twenty kinder
garten pupils escaping from the do,
miniOn of Miss Brewer to the joys
of recess. Without doubt q gen
erous patronage OF the coming con-
cert will provide fitting neccssaric'
and furniture for the hospital cot
tagc.
