to the Mausoleum and put flowers upon
the grave as tribute to her memory

ADDRESS BY MIR. ALLEN.
This is Founders Day, and | wish
to explain to those of the younger
scholars. who have not been here long
enough to have joined in observing this
day, why the trustees set it apart for
a day to be observed by the schools
and their friends.
On the 18th day of December, 1881,
Just siXty-eight years ago today, there
was born at Aikapka, Honolulu, of
high chief parentage, a girl who was
named Berenice Pauahi Paki, who was
destined to become of very high rank
and owner of much property. She was
educated at the Chiefs School in Ho-
nolulu, conducted by Mr. and Mrs.
Amos Cooke, who did so much good
work for the young nobility of Hawaii.
On the 5th of June, 1850, she was mar
ried to Charles r. Bishop. an Ameri-
can from the State of New York, who
was at that time Collector General OF
Customs.
From that time she began to make
her influence felt, and until her death,
on October 16 1884. she was leader in
the social life of Honolulu and in all
good works for the benefit of the
young. She was noted for her interest
in and influence over the girls and
young women of all nationalities, ana
was freely consulted by them. She
vas a student of all that was good and
eleyating in the claims society had on
a person in her high position; she was
Il reader and much interested in for
eign countries, and, later, gratifled her
wish to travel and see them.
FIRST VISIT ABROAD
Her first visit abroad was to Califor-
MIA, where she made many new friends
and met some she had known here;
next sLe visited the Eastern States and
Canada, where she was shown a good
deal of attention, and saw many of her
old acquaintance whom she had met
in Honolulu; later she went to Eng
and, where she was presented TO
Queen Victoria, and received much at
tention from high naval officers and
others whom che had met in her own
home; then to Europe, where she visit
ed Paris, Berlin, Bremen, Vienna, Mi
Ian, Florence, Rome and other cities
OF which she had read and wished to
see. She made a collection of photos
Mt all. the places she visited and on her
return she entertained her friends with
delightful accounts of her journey IL
lustrating her descriptions with the
photos.
