Bishop, as the orator of the occa-
sion. Col. Allen spoke very earn-
estly and was listened to most
attentively. He said:
know that you all regret the absence
of Mr.. Bishop on this occasion, and
when asked to represent and speak for
him l should much rather have de.
clined but felt it duty to accept. That
Mr.. Bishop is with you today in spirit
you all know, and though absent in
person, his in, crest IN these schools
never wanes. By correspondence with
the trustees, principals, and Others, he
has kept well posted in all the progress
you have made. On this the natal day
of Bernice Pauahi Bishop, the founders
day of this Institution, such a grand
monument to her love and care for her
people, it is beyond my powers to do
justice to the occasion or theme. Both
Mrs Bishop and her husband fully real.
Ized that the proper care and teaching
of the young was the only way to iu-
sure the stability of the people, and 30
| they have devoted their best thought
and much of their property to carry out
these ideas.
To you, trustees, principals and
teachers the responsibility of carrying
out the wishes of the founders of this
institution belongs, and from the ex.
perience of the few years since the
opening, no fears are entertained Of the
ultimate result.
To you, boys and girls of Kameha-
maha School, would say that to show
your appreciation of the great gifts of
your benefactors, you should ever
strive to take advantage of all that is
here offered you, 40 that in the future
you can show by your industrious and
virtuous lives what the Kamehameha
School has done for you.
On behalf of Mr. Bishop, thank you
all for showing such an appreciation
for the grand work and memory OF
the founder of this institution-Rernic,
Pauahi Bishop.
