Will Have Exhibit
All Their
Own.
Commencement Pro-
gram Given at
Bishop Chapel.
Ten boys Finish Course and One
Tells What School Will
Do at Fair.

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, ana
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 If
need not be ashamed. The exposition
was valuable, he said, in that it was
of educational worth. 1t gave one
chance to see things, which could be
otherwise obtained only by long and
expensive travel. Also the fair was
a great advertising medium, and Mr..
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
plant, etc. There would also be papers
on the agricultural life of the islands,
an interesting exhibit of the tailoring
department in samples of Khaki uni
forms made by the boys. There is al
so to be an exhibition of tools, made at
the shop. of plants grown by the
school boys, and also Of the seeds of
Hawaiian products. Then there is to
be an illustration of the schools aim
and scope by means of seventy pho
tographs which are to show the coz
tage built by the boys. also a dray
and a wagon. and other articles fash
toned by the students. The essay was
closed with the statement:
"Kamehameha should be proud of her
exhibit"
