At ST., LOUIS
Will Have Exhibit
All Their
Own.

The boys of the Kamehameha
School had their inning last evening
at Bishop Chapel. There are ten grad
yates, and all those given the oppor-
tunity acquitted themselves well at the
twelfth annual commencement exer-
cises.
The essay of chief interest was that
of Stephen l.. Desha who spoke on
"Kamehameha at the st. Louis Expo
sition." He told what the boys of the
school intended to do at the fair, and
If the promises given in his well-writ-
ten essay of last evening are carried
out, Hawaii will have at least one ex-
hibit at the Exposition of which II
need not be ashamed. The exposition
was valuable, he said, in that it was
of educational worth 1t gave one n
chance to see things which could be
otherwise obtained only by long and
expensive travel Also the fair was
great advertising medium, and Mr..
Desha suggested that Kamehameha
could profit much by adopting some of
the features to be found at the fair.
He said further that Kamehameha
would be represented in all her depart
ments, there would be an exhibition of
the shop work. of the collegiate depart
ment in essays on Hawaiian life, with
incidents of the life of Kamehameha,
the Hawaiian Bill of Rights the Taro

on the agricultural life of the islands,

department in samples of Khaki uni
forms made by the boys. There is al
so to be an exhibition of tools, made at
