The building was one-story, plaster
ed adobe building. surrounding an
open court, with windows on the out
side and the doors on the inside. II
contained all the conveniences for
house keeping, school room, and dorm
itory in the one enclosure. The school
was organized for the purpose of ed
ucating properly the children of the
high chiefs, who presumably would
| come to occupy the places of their par
ents who were active at the times of
the second and third Kamehamehas.
The three oldest boys We're the sons
of Kinau and Gov. Kekuanoa. AL
| though their children by birth, they
| had each of them been adopted, the
youngest by Kamehameha III, the Sec
ond, Lot, by the governor of Maui
! the third and oldest, Moses, b. the
! Governor of Kauai Among the other
younger boys were, David, afterwards
Kalakaua, and his brother James, who
/, died young, William Lunalilo. after
wards King, and two others, grand
children of John Young Among the
girls, We're Jane Loeau and Abigail
Mahaha, from Kauai. Emma Rookie,
who was afterwards the wife of Ka-
Il0IldlneAd 1F.s anu Ayula hdII1dkd-
cha, the present ex-queen. Also az
mong the members of the school was
/ the Princess Victoria, younger siste9
of the first three boys alluded to. With
her were her two guardians, John II
and his wife Sarai. Mr. Ii was one OF
the strongest men of the nation, ma nj
of common birth, who by his own mem
tai ability and absolute integrity had
raised himself with his wife to the i'm
portant position of the guardianship of
the young princess, to whom the people,
looked with fond admiration, hoping
that she might come to hold the ex-S
allied position of her mother, who was
one of the rulers of the land, as the
daughter of the old conquering king.
There was yet another scholar, Ber-
nice Pauahi, the daughter of a long
line of the most illustrious chiefs of
the nation, and whose name and good
deeds are linked imperisha bly,, let US
hope, with all that is high, and noble
in the educational interests of Hawaii.
The Kamehameha Schools are her
monument, linked with the beneficence
of her husband, the Hon. Charles r.
Bishop, whom she made her choice,
declining the offer of Kamehameha
", and later, also, that of his broth
er who succeeded him, and later the
throne of the kingdom, offered her on
the death bed of King Kamehameha ". !
They formed a very happy family of
boys and girls, and appeared to en-
joy their school life as much as any
children in any boarding school on !
the mainland. They were under very I
careful and kind supervision by those |
who were their guardians and teach |
ers, exhibited very favorable progress
in their studies. and reflected much |
credit on their instructors.
An incident or two may be interest |
ing connected with the three older
boys. They We're discussing together |
what they would do when they came
into possession of the positions of their
hereditary rank. The oldest, Moses, /
said, when am the governor of Ka-
uai, 1 shall do so and So" Lot remark
ed. when I am governor of Maui,
having a larger population and more
commerce, shall do so and so in the
of my affairs" Alexand-
ar, the youngest, and the heir appar-
emit, said with a look of quiet assur-
ance, when you are governors, who
will be king?" The other incident was

eacher, Mr. Cooke, going into the
Dom where the boys were, on the eve
ling of that eventful day, found that :
hey had cut off all of their govern /
nent buttons from their jackets. Upon
,eing asked why they had done such !
. thing, they replied, 1--WE have no {
urther use for them, they have taken ,
way our country, and we have no {
urther use for our buttons" showing Z
love of country which has been a +
hawaiian trait up to the present time, g
One of the sights in the streets of a t
saturday afternoon in the olden a
ines, which attracted a good r
cal of attention We're two caval- r
AIDES. They were the returning from i
he afternoon ride of the King and the II
1embers of his court and the MEM L
ers of the Royal School. The kings t
arty mounted on spirited horses, the t
ueen and the women usually dressed n
/ bright colored silks or satins with
quaIly striking and vari-colored rid Y
lg paus, with hats trimmed with flow n
RS and large wrea this of the sweet t
melting MALE, and often with their n
orses' necks decked with the same F
vine, occupied the whole r
-idth of the street from curb to curb. a
hey were all splendid riders, and is
often gathered on the street il
5 they swept CALAMITY by. Following A
1em at some distance. came the
Dung chiefs, the young ladies mount Il
/ on side saddles. in contrast to their N
ders who rode the mans saddle. h
hey too kept we'll formed line as r
ley swept by. and with these sights W
he day was brought to a close. Those q
no remember having seen this dis "
lay will probably be able to recall it a
18th much more vivid distinctness.
