DR.. Ryder announces that she will
again pay Honolulu a visit and hopes
to be able to do so sometime next year.
This is her initial trip to the islands
and she has become intensely interest
ed in them. DR.. Ryder has the highest
praises for the lauIes of Honolulu She
fully appreciates the genuine hospital
ity which she was accorded by them.
"These islands in the mid-ocean are
very attractive to me-" began DIR.
Ryder this morning, while sitting in
front of her cottage in the Arlington
row. "They must be so to everybody
who visits here. For beauty no coun-
try that | have ever visited begins to
compare with Hawaii. 1t has been
most appropriately called the Para
disc of the Pacific" The climate is
wonderful and | am certain that as
years go by and the climatic condi-
tions of the country are more general
ly known, that this place is sure to be-
come famous as a pleasure and health
resort during the winter months.
Zone of my greatest regrets in leav-
ing Honolulu, is the leaving behind of
the many friends have made during
my stay here. The white inhabitants
are a kindly people and warm hearted.

their home life. Everywhere | have

"The ladies who have interested
themselves in the Kindergartens are
doing noble work. Where on the
planet is there a picture such as is
daily presented at the Emma Hall
Kindergarten? 1t was a happy surprise
to me when l saw the many little
urchins gathered there and of all ma
tionalities. The bringing together of
the different races in this manner is

friendly relations among the parents

same happy conditions exist.
$50, when go back to my people
will tell them of what Honolulu anG
Hawaii is doing. AS the farthest out
post of civilization in the Pacific It's
people are meeting the great Oriental
question in the face. They have set in
with a grim determination to civlize
and Christianize the Orient and they
are accomplishing their work admir-
ably.
II have been most favorably i'm
pressed with the Government schools.
Also Oahu and st. Louis Colleges, Ka-
mehameha school and the Kawaiahao
seminary. The Bishop museum would
be a credit to the metropolis of the
world. 1t is remarkable institution
and is most complete in Polynesian
things.
From my observations have found
the Honolulu people 10 be very intelli-
gent. They are well informed PEI
pie and their aims are high The NOR
ais of the city hive impressed me.
