TRADE SCHOOL OF HONOLULU IS
MAKING RAPID STRIDES IN
IT'S GOOD WORK.
Instructor waldron. Recently From
Massachusetts. Has Made a Coed
Showing Since His arrisat-Tne
Thanksgiving Preparations.

The training school for young trades
men in this city. according TO ints--
ested persons, Is making rapid strides
toward the Development OF its pupils
and il will surprise many of the resi-
dents of this city TO know that such
sort of auxiliary of the Y NJ c. a.
through its branch known as the BOYS
Brigade IL is in charge OF the Rev
]. d. Waldron. young minister and
practical Christian worker who arrived
on the steamship Queen. and who has
already made a creditable showing IT
his line of work
Many in this busy city do not know
that there is a trade school establish
ed, equipped and successfully running.
The Boys Brigade is its founder. Of
the brigade T Richards. j. P Cook
and P. NJ. Pond are the officers, be-
sides twenty of the best young men
of the city who carry on the work.
Every Thursday at p. m different
companies meet at Palama, ka-
kaako, kalihi anu PunchbowL
The drill begins with religious
service, short, and then a song. Then
to music there is military drill con-

but 1t grew upon the workers that
there was need for more training and
field for different effort. Under the
direction of Mr. Bailey shop was
built at the junction of King and
Beretania streets. 1t is two stories
high, the upper floor being lumber
loft and assembly room. Down stairs
is bench room with thirty-six tool
closets. This is brilliantly lighted
with fifteen incaudescem lamps The
shop is supplied with all the ordinary
tools in the best make, Disston's saws,
Bailey's planes, Jennings bits, River
side chisels, hammers, oil stones. bey-
els, squares, rules. etc.
Those in charge naturally turned
toward the eastern states. where many
states require every city of 10000 to
have manual training school in con
neetion with high schools. Girls are
taught cooking, dressmaking and
while the boys are taught
joinery and forge work. While every
one expects wife to be able to cook,
sew and nurse. it has not dawnea upon
the minds of all that from her side
every usband-doctor, lawyer, minis
ter or business man-ought to be able
to drive a nail for a dish pan, mend a
trunk after trip, plane a door so
that the mosquitoes are kept out, and
do all without smashing ten fingers or
ten commandments. But it is as easy
to give boy the rudiments of joinery
as it is TO give girl the foundation
for housekeeping, and it is just as
necessary. Through Professor Nor
ton of Mr. Moody's Mt. Hermon scho d.
Mr.. ]. D. Waldron was recommended.
