BISHOP RESTARICK'S ADDRESS.
1T is well that this day is kept and
that you gather here each year in
order that the girls and boys as they
come and &C may keep alive in theii
memories the lessons which are to be
learned from the life of the founder
of these schools. 1t should have a deep
meaning and should be an inspiration
and an encouragement to every girl
and boy in whose veins flows Hawai'
ian blood. We meet to call to mind the
life and the example of a noble Hawai-
ian woman. To those who knew her
she required no eulogy, for she had
walked in their sight as woman, wife
and benefactress, and it was with real
grief that they laid her away in the

visit. as is most fitting, tomorrow.
ITO you she is largely name, and
therefore the attempt should be made
every year to make her living person.
ality. not a name, but a force and an
as one of your blood who
in her own person showed what type
of womanhood the race can produce.
ITO have an intelligent understand
ing of the founder we must go back
to her early life and to the life of her
noble husband, who was so long closely
identified with the upbuilding of these
islands and who now, though far dis
tant, keeps in touch with everything
that goes on in Hawaii. which still feels
his sympathy and his aid.
MR.. BISHOPS ARRIVAL.
I'm the year 1916 there arrived in
on what would now be called
n small sailing ship young man
r. Bishop, who, with some
was on his way to the
new Territory of Oregon None of the
passengers had the slightest idea OF
stopping in Honolulu, but, most fortu-
nately, some of them We're persuaded
to do so. one o; these men was Will
Justice by the King, Kamehameha Ill,
and who did immense services to the
kingdom in organizing the courts of
Justice and in many other ways. You
will find a picture of this good man in
The room of the Supreme Court in the
Judiciary Building. Another man who
in Honolulu was Charles r.
Bishop who needs no title Honorable
before his name, for the title is writ
zen on the hearts of all who know him.
Men may say that 1t was a happy
chance that two such men happened to
come to Honolulu at this particulag
God that the brig Henry called in here,
and that she had on board the men
needed by the King and the Country.
'or we believe that 1t was all Gods or
1ering. II Lee did great service in the
direction of the law. Mr.. Bishop was
closely identified with the forming of
business methods and business en-
as well as In the concep-
tion and the carrying out OF vast be-
nevolent plans, and plans for the ad-
OF science. the Importance
OF which you have at present very lit
tie idea.
when young Mr. Bishop landed in
Honolulu. Bernice Pauahi was fifteen
years old. She was nineteen years old
" when she was married to Charles r.
Bishop. 1t was most fortunate that she
gave her affections to this honorable
and that she had not been
won by an adventurer, or a man OF
loose ideas of morals, or a spend
thrift. How different things would
have been II this had occurred! This
shows what an important matter 1t is
that We should use our minds as we'll
as our hearts when marriage is con-
sidered. 1t was to enable young peo-
pie to have educated intelligence in
such matters that these schools were
founded. that young people should not
merely follow their fancies, but have
an educated sense in making a choice
OF life companion. There is nothing
that will drag girl down sooner than
TO be tied to a man OF low and base
ideals, and nothing which will SO ruin
a man as being tied to a woman who Ia
