well versed in the facilities necessary
for such purpose, began to remark fav-
orably on the advisability of the plan.
The Board of Education used every
means in its power to obtain the
building, and finally succeeded
in making satisfactory arrangements
for the purchase of the property at q
normal price. Many hearts were made
glad thereby, for it was the signal of a
new era of education in the city of
Honolulu and on the islands.
After contamination of the purchase
lost and men were set to work at once
making necessary repairs and institut-
ing a general renovation. AS soon as
this was completed, desks, blackboards
and other paraphernalia necessary to
a we'll equipped school building, were
put into place.
Through the kindness of Professor
Scott, who acted - conductor, party
OF press men, made up of representa-
tives OF the various city papers, were
shown the splendid facilities of the
new high school Thursday morning.
"In starting out gentlemen" said
Professor Scott, al must say L never
came across building so well suited
for the purpose of high school. We
have made absolutely no change in the
inner arrangements. Everything Il
the same as when the building was
first erected. We have simply put in
the desks and nailed up the black
boards The rest was done for us
when the building was first put up"
Entering the large doorway at the
front OF the building, a wide hallway
runs the whole length of the main
part of the building. On either side
Is q row of hooks for the accommoda-
ton OF pupils. The loss of time incl
dent to many school buildings from
the fact OF pupils having TO dodge in
and out of cloak rooms located in in
convenient places, will be obviated.
Pupils will come in, hang their hats,
or whatever they may happen TO have,
on the hooks at their disposal and so
directly into their respective rooms.
On the mauka side of the hallway
are two large rooms, the largest in the
building, which may be thrown into
one by opening the folding door be
tween. These will be used on all pub
lie occasions, such as graduating exer-
cises and the like.
On the makai side there are two
planned that the arrangement of seats
was made with view Of obtaining
alike for the pupils and teachers the
very best light possible, namely, over
the left shoulder. The large doors
opening from these. as well as all the
others, into the spacious halls, gives
sufficient guarantee of safe exit in
case of fire. The whole building could
be vacated in a very short time. This
is considered one of the best points
about the new high school.
The second floor has four rooms,
which will hold fifty pupils with COM
fort; while the third floor has but two
OF the same capacity. In all of the
rooms there was noticeable the effect
of soft light caused by the tinting Of
the walls, which does away so sue
cessfully with the glare of the white
walls so common in school buildings.
With respect to the matter of light
and air, no complaint can be made

For the Christmas long ago,
When the old log-cabin homed us
From the night of binding snow,
And the rarest JOY held reign,
And the chimney roared amain,
With the freight like beacon
Through the frosty window-pane.
All! the revel and the din
From without and from within,
The blend of distant sleigh-bells
With the blinking violin;
The muff1ed shrieks and cries
Then the glowing cheeks and eyes
The driving storm of greetings,
Gusts Of kisses and surprise.
Sing in again the mirth
OF the circle round the hearth,
With the rustic Sinbad telling,ls
The strangest tales on earth!
And the Mistrel Bard we knew,
With his "Love-i-er so true"
Likewise his Young House-kyarpen-

And Lowed Henry" too!
And forgetting ne'er thing,
Lift gladder voice and sing
OF the dancers in the kitchen
Clean from start to ''pigeon-wing!"
Sing the glory and the glee
And the joy and jubilee
The twirling for1n-the quickened breath
The sigh of ecstasy.
The eyes that smile alone
Back into oar happy own
The leaping pulse-the laughing blood
The trembling undertone!
Ho! pair us off once more,
With our feet upon the floor,
But our heads and hearts in Heaven,
AS they were in days Of yore!

the conspirators through the medium
