Hilo should strain every nerve to Sc
cure settlement of the high school af-
fair. The Governor is favorable to the
project and so is Mr.. Holloway and
there seems to be no obstacle in the
way in SO far as the lot is concerned
for the teachers have agreed that if nc
other place can be secured there will be
room enough on the site of the River

to receive their education where they
may have the proper home influence
