On Saturday, the I'd day of De

interesting teachers meeting that

at 10 o'clock A. NJ. the meeting was
called to order by John A. Moore
who welcomed the teachers and

OF all the nineteen teachers pres
ent, not one failed to take part and
every one seemed up to the mark.
Indeed, it was encouraging to see
the spirit of activity that peryad-
ed the whole meeting. Mrs.
Simpson had been the leading
spirit in getting up the programme
and it was done in keeping with
all her good works, and carried out
to perfection.
The teachers present were: Mrs.
j. L. Dumas, Mrs. Fanny nj. Simp-
son, Misses Bessie Akana, leila
Rogers, Blanche Horner, l.. M.
Cunningham, Charlotte l.. Turner,
z. Mossman, NJ. de Carmo, An
gela Crook, Messrs. w. G. Crook,
J. A. III. Creek, S. W. Crook, Moses
sKauhimahu, A. st. G. Piianaia,
Alex. Ilihia, l.. r. Medieros, J. l..
Dumas and John A. Moore.
1t has been said that the good a
man does is buried with him, but
it doesn't seem to hold in the case
of John Amos Comenius. The
seeds that he planted more than
three hundred years ago, have just
began to bear fruit for our market,
and everything that the worthy
old divine ever did or said is
sought for and devoured with the
greatest eageruess. 1t would be
out of place to single out the work
of any particular teacher, for every
one did well.
The live teachers of Makawao
district are fair type of that wide
awake community. Misses f.. Moss
man and de Carmo, Messrs. w. G.
Crook, J. A. III. Crook and S. w.
Crook all hail from that lovely
portion of our island. This gives
Makawao a big 81. o. u" Wal
luku will meet the obligation
promptly. The next meeting of
this circle will be devoted princi-
pally to the discussion of John
Henry Pestalozzi.
