You will find by the report of the Su-
perintendent of Public instruction that
the public schools are in a prosperous
condition. For some years there has
been a rapid increase OF pupils beyond
the capacity of the school houses of
the country even with the considerable
additions that have already been made.
School accommodations are sim unequal
TO the demand. The large appropriations
recommended for this purpose are LOT
the most part very necessary.
The Government has recently adopted
the plan of building school houses OF
large size with walks OF nre-prooi ma
teriais. This plan was carried INTO erect
IN the construction OF the Princess halu
LAM School and the kaahumanu Scnooi
in Honolulu. An appropriation or Si5'Vo
is recommended for rebuilding the Royal
School. The main building In the foyai
School premises was found TO be unsafe
last year and was taken down. AT pres
emit part OF the pupils are accommo-
dated in the remaining buildings, and
the rest in the Aala warehouse, which
has been fitted up temporarily for that
purpose This arrangement ia very I'M
