many applicants and many were un-

teachers. Miss Green regretted the lack
of willingness among the Hawaiians to
act as bible teachers to their fellow ma

that they were Protestants, she being a
Catholic. Most Hawaiians, continued
the speaker, profess some form of re-

Green will be pleased to receive any
