ISLAND YOUTH

closet give evidence Of careful attention
to the emergencies Of big institution,
and one of HonOlulu's leading doctors
goes the rounds. Trained nurses are
employed In fevers or serious ailments
and the boys Of the highest grade are
here given practical illustration and
instruction In the care of the sick or
wounded, If any.
The wards are cool, clean and airy.
The building includes reception room
and kitchen. And, best Of all it is COM
pletely isolated from all other build
ings.
.nere are four charming cottages in
which the married teachers live and
| large dining hall where teachers and
boys meet daily. The lads take care
| + the dining hall and do much Of the
uoLing; wash the dishes, wait on
themselves and care for the building

Tie floor is hard finished and the
" hole place is kept scrupulously clean
and fresh-looking. The halls and lana1s
| Of several dormitories and dining hall
are beautified by pots and tubs of fish
! tail and other varieties of fern, lilies

| From o'clock until noon the Man
ual boys meet daily in the class rooms

| or on the farm from l o'clock to p.
, m Each boy works in one of the shops

| ! wish to make reference to the pub
!lications of which there are two. Han
dicraft" is beautifully printed upon
nice paper; and properly speaking is
mot due to any special energy on the
lpart of the boys, as it depends upon the
teachers for contributions: but Blue
land White" is a student publication. 1t
is nicely conducted and gives one good
impression. Whenever boy in writ
ing an article for this paper makes a
mistake in his grammar, orthography
,or punctuation, his teacher simply
lplaces an Y against il and leaves him
TO work out his own salvation. If he
cannot correct his mistake then in II
goes. just as it stands, and that has
been found to be the best of correct
ives. Through this medium the lads
criticise whatever they think wrong
land thus create public opinion that will
do much for good discipline in the
school.

social side is given attention, as it Is
