averaged somewhat less than during the
previous decade, the annual average for
the last ten years being S2,279O0.' More
than half of this amount has gone to the
support of Hawaiian boarding schools.

the past year have been paid, we find that
S12, 74i.00 have been set apart for the aiG
of Hawaiian boarding schools, and 81
10000 for home missions among the Por-
