pose of nominating Representatives.
Robert Rycroft, of Puma, and Albert
Horner, Of Hamakua, were unani-
mously nominated as candidates to
represent the Puma, Hilo and Hama
kua districts.
Later in the week Mr.. Horner with
drew his name and Hamakua people
wished Hilo to nominate some one to

nedy is the popular choice.
A public meeting was held at the
Court House Saturday evening to dis
cuss the reception of President and
Mrs. Dole, who were expected to come
up on the Kinau of the 9th ult. Those
who were acquainted with the Presi-
dent thought quiet reception would
be his preference. A committee of
thirteen was appointed who provided
private boat, tastefully draped with
Hawaiian and American flags, and
when the Kinau reached Hilo, at 6
o'clock in the morning, three of the
committee, consisting of J. A. Scott,
Sheriff Williams and DR.. Williams,
boarded the steamer and rendered the
use Of the boat TO them on behalf of
the citizens. The rest of the commit
tee, through the chairman, Mr.. C.. c.
Austin, welcomed the President to
Hilo and rendered him the hospitality
Of the town.
Saturday evening, the 9th, at the
Court House, large and brilliant re
ception was given to the President.
The affair was a distinct success in
every way, and WAS greatly enjoyed
by those present. Everyone was there,
and nearly all remained until the last
moment. A large number of people
were introduced TO the President and
his wife.
The HilO Teachers Union held its
quarterly meeting September 2Sth. 1t

followed, consisting this time in the

Question Box.
The subject of vertical writing eX-
cited much interest. The system met
with approval from many present be-
cause IL is easy, swift, consumes less
paper, and, above all, is less injurious
to the eyes and spine than the slant
script.
The class in Busy Work was select
ed from beginners in the Union
School. They exhibited over a dozen
simple devices designed to interest the
little ones and at the same time de
velOp thought.
Those present moved about among
the children, greatly interested in OBJ
tanning points, One from a long
distance said, ~ did not know the
meetings were so interesting; | shall
always come if / can"
Equally interesting was the singing
class in third step, Tonic Sci Fa music.
The audience was filled with surprise
at seeing three girls step forward and
write on the board little song COM
posed by them within day or two for
this occasion; particularly so, on learn
ing that the alto was written i'm
promptu, the girl who had been Sc
lected being absent.
The Place Lesson was with the be-
ginners in geography. 1t was as good
as a play to watch the little ones
learning directions and getting COM
mand of language to express what they
learned.
A well read paper gave valuable
hints on the necessity of neatness on
the part Of the teacher as well as the
pupil.
The Question Box answers occupied
the last half hour.
There were present twenty-one
members and nine visitors, among
whom was Mrs. Dillingham;, who rep
resented the Board of Education.
