district schools The honor OF thus |
closing the scholastic editice for the |
year was reserved to Pohukaina
School for girls which for many years /
under the able management of |
its last principal, Miss Corney, has
held plare IN the front rank of lla- |
waiian educat onal institutions. and |
now continues 10 add to its laurels
under the control of Miss Laura
Duncan. A noticeable fact in con-
nection with this institution IS that
while three out Of its four teachers
have rec, ivcd the whole Of their rdu-
catiuual training on the islands, first
Undpr the tuition Of Mr.. A. I. Akin
son, the present Inspector General
of Schools. and later under Mr.. Nj.
NJ. Scott. Principal Of Fort-street
School, their work bears favorable
comparison with that of any of our
teaching fraternity who have come
from abroad. According to an
nouncement exercises showing the
regular course of studies were given
from 9 O'Clock until little after |
O'Clock in the various rooms under
the control of the several teachers.
Throughout the school the same ex,
cellent and clear style of handwriting
was TO be seen from the smallest
girl to the tallest young lady. The
exercises varied with the attainments
of the scholars, but in all the classes
uniform excellence of work was
shown. an especial feature being the
clearness and distinctness Of articu-
lation and enunciation. In the pri-
mary rooms presided over by Miss
May Atkinson and Miss Anna Perry
many interesting and tuneful action
songs interspersed the exercises,
which not only delighted and inter-
ested the little singers but the spec
tators as well. Special mention must
be made of the writing of the pupils
IN Miss NJ. Atkinson's room, explain
atory of some really finished draw
ings in colored crayons by the teach
er. At the close of the exercises in
school studies, the following program
was gone through by the combined
classes of Misses Perry and Atkin-
son, the first recitation by little
girl attracting special attention.

The upper classes under the charge
of Miss Zoe Atkinson and Miss
Laura Duncan gave proof of the
excellent training accorded them in
their studies, and after short recess
at the close went through the follow
ing program with noticeable absence
of stage fright or nervousness. The
recitations in concert showed very
careful training from the simultan-
city of the voices and gestures.
