The examinations and closing eXer-
cises for the first term of the Hilo
Boarding School took place yesterday
morning and the friends OF the school
were very much interested in noting
the various studies, and especially in
the use of mechanical tools. Mr.. and
Mrs. w. s. Terry, the principals OF
the school, believe in practical train
ing, and are doing what they can to
develop that usually deficient trait in
the Hawaiian character; and if their
bows do not succeed in earning a liv-

the school at the close of the exercises,
commencing the scholars for the pro-
ficiency they had displayed, and en-
deavored to impress them with a sense
OF their moral obligations, which was
all i'm good taste; but when he made
the statement that the volcano road
had been built by the Postal Savings
Bank" that "the volcano house was
built by Honolulu capital" and that
-Hilo had been constant recipient OF

Gus climate have insured them? Have
they invested one dollar more than
they could possibly help to beautify
and improve this district, the natives
or its schools?
When Mr.. Davies spends goodiy
portion of the earnings of his sugar
estates in this country, then it will be
appropriate for him TO talk about "ad-
equate returns"
