relieve the pressure on the Kaahuma-
nu, Manoa and Waikiki schools There
had been need for a larger school at

the class of pupils that would attend.

Whereas, Mr.. James C. Davis
has rendered his resignation as Su-
perintendent of Public Instruction,
and the same has been accepted,
the Commissioners of Public In
struction take this occasion to ex-
press their regret at the severance
of the official relations heretofore
existing, and to testify to the senti-
ments of respect and esteem with
which they regard the late head of
the department.
During his brief incumbency as
Superintendent, Mr.. Davis has
shown himself to be diligent, con-
scientious and devoted to the inter-
.ests of the public schools of the
Territory.
His uniform kindness and cour-
tesy toward his colleagues, and his
readiness to facilitate by all means
in his power the bushes of the de-
partment will be ever remembered
by us with pleasure and satisfac-
ton.
The Commissioners venture to
express the hope that the connection
of Mr.. Davis with the schools of
the Territory will not be terminated
by the recent change, but that he
may continue to serve the cause
of popular education in some other
capacity.
