held 81 the Kamehameha School
Tuesday. The school bows wre
arrayed in their gray military uni
forms. The exercises were held in
the campus in front Of the main
school building, 3 small stage being
, erected. from which elevation the
orator OF the day. John ". Kalua,
Of Maui, delivered s most forcible
snd eloquent speech to the assem-
bled crowd.
Among those present were Rev.
Dr.. Hyde, representing trustees,
Mr.. and Mrs. c. A. Brown, DR.. n.
B. Emerson, Rev. s. E. Bishop,
Mrs. J. o. Carter, J. B. Atherton
and others
Mr.. Kalus opened his address BY
saying that Mrs. Bernice Pauahi
Bishop, whose memory they were
celebrating, belonged to the line of
the Kamehamehas, descending
from Keopuolsni, one Of the wives
Of Ksmehsmehs the Crest, down to
Konis, mother Of Mrs. Paushi
Bishop.
The speaker dwelt on the mag
nsnimity and liberaIity of the late
Mrs, Bishop, and her CREST an
xiety to educate her race. She
realized that only education could
elevate them to s higher level, so
she lsbored hard to achieve her
ambition until she was crowned
with success. Mr.. c. R. Bishop
Ess Landed BY the speaker as be
ing Hawaii's true benefactor. He
did not limit his ayoEed love for
the Hawaiian people to mere
words, but hiss literally given large
sums of money for the education Of
young Hs#aiians.
Mr.. Kalus regretted the feEness
Of the Hswaiians present. In his
mind, the HaEaiians do not yet
appreciate the motive Of the donors,
or they would not have remained
away as they did. Founders Day
Is 4 day greater in Importance than
any Of the national holidays for
the latter are generally devoted to
useless pleasures, whereas the ben
efts arising from Founders Day
are immortal.
In conclusion Mr.. KaIua i'm
pressed the minds Of the Ka-
mehamehs boys with the value Of
labor. Laziness, extravaganza, and
weakness Of mind are the main
hindrances 10 the progress OF Ha-
Taiians, but these could be avoided.
To push ahead and overcome diff
culties should be each ones aim in
life.
II the Kamehameha graduates
lead glorious lives, they viii per
petuate and hsnor the name OF the
Kamehamehas, but If otherwise,
they VIII drag Mrs. Pauahi Bishops
name to disgrace.

ceived with applause by the audi
ence.
