A SLOW PASSAGE
MADE THOUSANDS
SHIP I. f. CHAPMAN WAS OUT
JUST LONG ENOUGH TO IN
GREASE VALUE OF HER CARGO.

The first vessel to arrive at the east
ern market and catch the 4 cent sugar
quotation, was the ship I. F. Chapman.
She arrived at Delaware Breakwater on
August 2,136 days from Honolulu.
BY making as 'ong a passage as
she did, the vessel brought nearly $4,000
more to the people who shipped in her
than she would have Melted had she
made a quicker trip. The vessel had
1926 net tons of sugar as her cargo.
The value of this cargo was $259,6OO.
The sailing vessels which left the ISL
ands within a few days time of the
Chapman made faster trips but they
did not make the voyages so profitable.

Hon. A. r. Atkinson, Supt, Public In
struction:
Dear Sir:-I beg to inform you that at
the recent examinations held in East
man College l attained an average of 81
per cent. You are aware of the fact I
presume, that l received all of my edu
cation in Hawaii and at the public
schools of Waihee and Waikiki, Kane
hameha and the Normal Schools.
1 have always been proud of the pub
lie schools of Hawaii and I am proud
er of having been an instructor in them.
The result of my examinations has
the excellence of our schools, and am
after asked the questions: Where did
you learn to speak English?" do you
speak English in your country" do
you have schools like we have?"
| Now Mr. Atkinson will you be kind
enough to send me some of your sur
! plus literature concerning the schools?
I am surprised at the profound ignor-
ance of these people concerning Uncle
Sans newly acquired territory. With
the coming literature I shall be able to
enlighten them on the subject.
l am respectfully
w. K. MAKAKOA.

ing parti-Rarly bright" sad Superin-
tendent Atkinson this morning, "and it
is gratifying to find that he is doing so
we'll. He is in every sense a credit to
Hawaii and he will be an object lesson
| to the people who are studying with
him as to the sort of people we have in
Hawaii"
