The regular meeting of the Board of
Education was held this morning and
considered a number Of appointments,
designations, transfers and applications
A report from Kealahou school mem
tioning the reception and utility of the
printing press and types that had been
furnished proved most satisfactory and
interesting reading.
At kealahou, both a carpenter shop
and a printing Office have been estab-
lished in small buildings and the results
Of the two have been put to pre-em-
nently practical use for the school itJ
self. The boys in the carpenter shop,
twelve in number, have learned to make
pickets and prepare planks for suD-
stantial sixty foot fence that has been
erected on the premises, all this work
being done in the play hours with the
exception of the Thursday afternoon
sewing class from which the carpen-
ters have been excused.
The efforts in printing have been cir
cumscrib -- by the lack of types, but
the two boys and girls in the printing
office have sent in specimens of pri-
mary and intermediate lessons, set up
and printed by them not only for .heir
own but neighboring schools that re-
fleet great credit on the progress maze.
The specimens submitted have been
embellished by illustrations in colors
by various pupils, Chinese, Japanese
and Portuguese which are cleverly con-
ceived and handled equalling in the
estimation of the board anything pro-
duced in Honolulu. A rubber type out
fit supplied has been found very useful
for primary charts which have also
been ornamended in colOrs.
The sewing class is filed with both
sexes the boys learning to handle Inc
needle and proving as apt as the girls.
The school with it's accessories has
proven very popular with parents and
pupils alike many of over age attending
this term while the school attendance
generally has been steadily increasing.
