her wise generosity. Siae was a model
OF princely nobility aud yet an object
OF warm affection TO every Hawaiian
of all ranks in life.
For you, Hawaiian girls, she has.
planned advantages and privileges
that your grandparents never dreamed
OF seeing. Great is your indebtedness
TO your most estimable benefactress
for the opportunities so freely and
fully offered to you in connection with
this kamehsmeha School Be it
yours faithfully 70 improve your time,
and make the wisest possible use OF
these rich pro DIVISIONS for your preparA-
ton for the work Of life-better than
house or lands, for no one can rob you
OF the stores OF experience and princi-
pies OF conduct you may secure here.
Be attentive and obedlent to your
teachers, diligent in study, faithful iH
work, and neat and careful IN your
person and surroundings. Remem-

Eternal Father.
My last word is for you, oh Ha-
| waiian parents. With you is the duty
of beginning in early life the walk on
ward and upward, or such q turn
downward as to end only in the mis-
cry of your children. Your hands
| hold the thread of their lives. You
yourselves are the examples your
children are most ready to initiate.
| If your example is against the infiu-
ences for good which the school fur
| nishes, you will be responsible for the
! shame and the injury that will come
| upon your children. But let these
| three separate strands work together
parents, children, teachers-in unity
| the rope that will safely hold our Ha-
| waiian Ship of State amid perils OF
| every kind, and the blessing of the
Heavenly Father will bring this Ha-
walian people peace and prosperity
never enjoyed before.
After a selection by the Kameha-
meha School band, DR.. Hyde read the
portion of Mrs. Bishops viii be-

tenance of the Kamehameha School.
Then the keys of the girls school
were delivered TO Miss Pope's keeping.
Miss Pope's acceptance was nicely
wOrded, and made a marked impress
sion. She referred to the girls school
/ as another memorial stone sacred TO

and balconies, framing pictures of ex-

rocks, aud there are sermons in the
| brown stone rocks of Kalihi; they
| tell us of the rocks ahead-danger
| signals that viii come in our work ia
the education of Hawaiian girls.
In accepting this trust, on this me-
mortal day, we would enlist your
| sympathy and ask your co operation
| in making K. @. S. an honor and
| power in this land, trusting that the
| training received in this school will
| fit Hawaiian girls for self-respecting
| independence, and that they may go
forth among their own people being
able to stand firm for truth and purity,
| though snares and pitfalls abound.
The exercises closed with song by
