Year.

attendance When President A. f. Crit
fiths mounted the platform in Pau
| ahi Hall at q o'clock every desk seat
was occupied and the divisions of the
senior, junior. sophomore and fresh
men classes were noticed to be we'll
balanced. Nearly a hundred pupils
were present at the opening and others
are expected to enter the various
classes in the next two or three weeks.
The same suspicious beginning was
also apparent in the Punahou Prepar-
atory School, which viii have full
membership.
On the stand with President Crit

after which the President introduced
Mr.. Jones, who gave short but char
acteristic ADDRESS. His style was hui
morous and the students were won by
his wit and geniality.
The theme of Success in Life was
ably handled by Mr.. Jones' Success,
he said, was the aim and motive OF
every ambitious young man and young
woman. Now was the time to begin to
measure the success of the future.
During the school year was the time
| to formulate the resolve to succeed,
not when the students were entering
upon the realities of life. Mr.. Jones
referred briefly to one or two instan-
ces of where faithfulness which
should be the watchword of all stu
dents lives-hadmade the man, and the
| lack of it had unmade him. There was
a time in the long ago when a teacher
at Oahu College,, who drew large
salary, believed he was entitled to
more. and therefore only gave services
in return which he thought were COM
mensurate with the salary he got. The
result was that he lost his position.
Faithfulness to ones school duties
meant much in after life, as it created
ltruthfulness and honesty.
| Being behind hand with ones du-
ties also tended to bring about a
lack of faithfulness. Promptitude was
| another keynote to success. He said
that an old Honolulu missionary friend
of his once said that those who were
not prompt had three hands-the right
the left and illustrating with one hand
wagging behind his back), the third,
the behind hand
| President Griffiths made a few intro
ductory remarks in welcoming the stu
dents. He said he had had occasion
during the past year to commend the
esprit du corps which existed in the
| school and he was certain that he
would have occasion to express the
same sentiments. During his trip east
he had visited many schools and col
| leges and found that Oahu College was
| as good as any of them of the same
size, both in equipment for school
work, and in the students themselves.
