f0RI STREET SCHOOL.

The closing and public exalni1a-
tions Of Fort-Street School were held
this morning. Mr.. A. Z. Atkinson,
Inspector General of Schools, was
present, also Prof. Alexander Of the
Board of Education. A good num-
Der of visitors distributed themselves
among the different rooms.
In the two high school grades, con-
Quoted by the Principal, Mr.. NJ. M.
Scott, and Assistant, Mr.. A. V. Gear,
the pupils were exercised in the
higher arithmetic, trigonometry, the
metric system, bookkeeping, and
Latin in Virgil and Caesar. Prompt
ness of answers and quickness Of
work were the rule, and the written
exercises exhibited showed the thor
oughness Of the everyday work.
The performances of a couple Of lads
in trigonometry were remarkably
good.
Miss Browns class, preparatory,
was just being dismissed when the
reporter called at her room. There
were enough samples of work on
view to make very satisfactory
basis of examination in themselves.
Relief maps, including ones of Homo
lulu harbor, different islands of the
group. North and Central America,
showing the topograpy of the Mica
ragua Canal region. the British ISL
ands, etc. were hung all around the
walls. Decorative designs in free
hand drawing arranged in frame
made pretty exhibit. A peep
through mass of exercises in com
mercial forms, arithmetic, physio-
logy, composition, etc., revealed
most c0mmendable practically
throughout. The current home and
foreign news is utilized for subjects
of questioning and composition.
Proficiency in map drawing was
marked.
There was only time to glance into
the next rooms-those of Miss Need
ham, Miss Carter, Miss Walker and
Miss Coursen. Everywhere the writ
ten exercises told the old story for
this school of uniform exactness,
and Deatness, the whole fabric of
knowledge impaired being based
on a substratum of strict tut
ton in English. Principal Scott
central idea is that language being
the medium for communicating all
knowledge, instruction in all branches
should converge on correct language
as .'all roads lead to Rome"
AS the examinations only lasted
two hours, the reporter was unable
to get notes in detail of each room $
exercises. Mention must be made,
however, of the delightful results OF
Miss Coursen's work in the primary
grade. The writing and drawing OF
the wee tots are simply marvellous.
Children going up thence have not to
be drilled in the mechanics of writing
at all events. Miss Coursen has been
suffering for weeks from the prevail
ent malady influenza, but has kept
up her work heroically to the moment
when she dismissed her young charges
to-day, expressing to them the kind
est wishes for pleasant vacation.

A BONANZA PALACE.

London, June 27.-Mrs. John w.
Mackay gave grand house warming
at her magnificent mansion on Carl
ton Terrace last night. 1t was the
biggest and most swell ball OF the
season. Twelve hundred aristocratic
acquaintance had been invited, and
most of them attended. During the
evening electric lights gave special
brilliancy to the famous marble stair
case and its decorations, and brought
into relief the white and gold orna-
mentation of the reception rooms
and lovely tapestries and the soft
silks with which the walls were GOV.
cred throughout. The whole man
sion was lit up from roof to cellar
and had the appearance of fairy
scene.

A BANANA CHESTNUT.
EDITOR BULLETIN

EDITOR BULLETIN:-
Your paper and the Advertiser
have each, on successive days, print
ed the absurd statement that an acre
of bananas will produce AZ times as
much n0urishment as an acre in pOta-
toes, and l3l times as much as an
acre in wheat. This aged fraud has
been in circulation for something less
than a century, and no doubt will
continue to exhibit. a similar vitality
with drunken Peters yarns about the
''Blue Laws" of Connecticut, which
never had an existence except in his
lying hook.
A good yield of wheat is 1900
pounds to one acre, equivalent in
nutriLive value to 5000 lbs. of
potatoes. A good yield of potatoes
may be called 10000 lbs, or two
and one half times the wheat. This
is a rough estimate, hut near enough
for our purposes. Forty-two times
this yield of potatoes is 800, 900 lbs,
or the alleged annual yield of one
acre of bananas.
Any one engaged in banana farm
inc knows that he does remarkably
well. if he gets one thousand fifty
Id. punches from an acre of banana
land, year after year, that is, just
one-tenth of the immense product
claimed, or only four times the yield
of potatoes instead of forty times.
But will any one assert that pound
of bananas contains as much food as
a pound of potatoes? Guess no..
People land newspapers) had bet
ter figure a little before repeating
such preposterOus yarns.

The evening classes started lately
by the Honolulu Arts and Science
Association are worthy of all encour-
agement. They afford an opportun-
ity to properly ambitious boys and
young men whose school days are
over to improve their capacities for
successfully batting with LIES pro-
blems. 1t is to be hoped some rich
men will be struck with the ambition
to make themselves famous by estab-
fishing an institute for maintaining
such classes permanently.
