The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1893-05-18

Instance named is by no means an
solated one. Where does the blame .

Among those who are about to leave
are Mr.. and Mrs. Terry, who, during
the short time they have looked after
the affairs of the Hilo Boarding School,
have managed it successfully. While
financially the status Of the institution
is all but a hourshing one, and in fact
the close of the school year leaves the
treasury practically bankrupt, still the
good work accomplished during the
same period has been far in advance
of any previous efforts. The dis
cipline and department of the
schools are perfect, the manual
training received appears to have taken
root, and the English spoken is more
creditable than heretofore. Taking
the results as a whole the showing of
young Hawaiians exemplified in the
graduating exercises just closed speaks
well for the future.
Coming at time when SO large mum.
Der Of young Hawaiians look with
sullen hatred on everything foreign and
are content to splrt white doeskin
pants which are tight in the leg and
wide in the spring, with a red sash
around the waist and a wreath of pea
cock feathers around their hats, who will
not accept work even if offered them at
fair rates of wages, but whose sole am
bition is gratihed IN the possession of a
guitar, with which they will make long
journeys afoot to troubad ur at some
luau and be content with small gratuities,
who can neither fish, swim, or talk their
own language dramatically, who are
the veri st iuafers, but who revile those
of their own race who seek to live up
to nober instincts it is just at such
time that institutions like the Kameha
meha and Hilo Boarding schools attest
to the wisdom OF their founders and de
monstrate that the efforts TO regenerate
the Hawaiian from the debasng influ-
enCes and tendencies of past reigns is
not SO hopeless after all.
Those who have circulated the Patri-
otto League, or "Aloha Alma" petition
through the two Konas have been very
thorough in their canvass. 1t is re-
ported that every man, woman and
child, male and female, have had their
names entered, and if, as is further
reported, these signatures bear the
mark OF having been made by but two
parties, these two industrious signers
are entitled to the thanks Of the whole
community in having written SO legibt
hand.
Hilo, also, since the return of the
Blount-N ordhoff party, has seen gall
times. The plug hat contingent, unde
the leadership of the doughty Colonel
Major, the Hon, etc, Baker and tn,
MaechiavelIian Henry West has made
its joyous display no "Place anJ
ddmes' for them, as the curtain has jus
rung down on the finale, representing
T the sylphlike forms Of the dusky holokl
containing element of the committee
fitting into Sylva's photograph CALLER,
IN search OF Immortality.
The freedom of the town was &C
corded our visitors. A great doubl,
canoe was rugged up, and "over tn,
summer sea, with light hearts gay ant
free" a straight course of s. f. by N
one.half w. was laid for distant Cocoa
nut Island, but head winds and frac
tious waters hindered them, and so the
returned. And So the plug hat
wandered sadly homeward.
Doubly grateful are the fire laddie
of this great metropolis, for have the
not received at last their fire engine
reel and hose3 And now they propos
to erect Firemen's hall with the fund
allowed them by the appropriation c
1892, together with such funds as ar
in the hands of the Town Hall Com
mittee, but which the latter as yet is b
no means willing to surrender on tn
bare promise by the officers of the com
pany that they will allow the hall to tn
use of the town. OF course this
