THE BLUE
AND WHITE
The New Kamehameha
School, Paper of
Students.

Blue and w mite is the tue VI d
very neat four page paper published by
the students of the Kamehameha
Schools. The initial number was issued
Yesterday. The staff is composed of the
following:
Abel All You, editor-in-chief; George
Wells. assistant editor; Charles Lyman,
athletics; David Desha, exchange edi-
tor; Charles Williams, superintendent
of printing; associate editors, Enoch
Hussey, Henry Sniffen, David MANU-
kona.
The leading editorial is devoted to a
synopsis of an address made before the
Kamehameha Alumni meeting held on
June s, 1904, as follows:
And now a serious word about Ka-
mehameha. Kamehameha with all it
means is the Hawaiian heritage. If
ever an institution belonged to a people.
this belongs to you. 1t is yours to
guard, to use, to cherish. And to my
mind. Kamehameha is the last hope of
the Hawaiian people. But 1t is enough.
Your great AliI was wise,-so wise
wonder at what she did for her people.
Had she divided her wealth among her
friends and relatives as so much wealth
is divided, it would have gone as other
wealth has gone. leaving dissipation,
degeneracy and poverty; the coming
generations would be no wiser and no
happier. But leaving it as she did. it
will go on giving strength, building up
manhood and womanhood, enriching
the Islands by enrlching all who seek
it's benefits. Each generation will be
wiser; each generation will be stronger;
each generation will be happier. 1t is
to be perpetual. A thousand years later,
men and women, WISER than we are,
will still assemble here to bless her
memory.
There is only one thing to fear. That
is the possibility that the Hawaiian
people may lose this heritage,-that it
may pass into the hands of men and
women who do not have Hawaiian blood
lin their veins. Your blood divides with
each generation. Your customs are dy-
ing out. The courts will change. The
trustees will change. Soon the men
who have known you and are in sympa-
thy with you and have done all in their
power to advance you, these men will
be gone; and men who knew not
Joseph" will be in their places. Then
you will have to stand for yourselves. 1
charge you to stand for this last hope
of the Hawaiian people with all your
might. Not by force-there is an easier
way; not through the courts,-there is
a more direct way; not through the
press,-there is a better way. This best
way of all is to keep every place here
filled with Hawaiian men and women.
The will of your Ali gives preference
to Hawaiian blood. No court, and no
set of trustees viii ever venture to
break that will so long as Hawaiians
make use of their own. If your people
lose this, heritage it is their own fault.
But there is hope that each genera
ton will know better than the one be-
fore. the benefits of the training offered
here; and SO each generation will guard
these privileges with more jealous care
for their children. Let me give you
new proyerb:-A privilege abused or
neglected is a privilege lost; whether it
be Of reputation or of heritage. Be true
to your heritage and worthy of it. Ha-
waiian customs will disappear. Hawai-
ian names will disappear. But as long
as Hawaiian blood can be traced in
should Kamehameha be Kamehameha.

is very educational.
