WORK 70 COMPLETION
Simplicity To Characte-
rize New Home
For Sisters
PRELIMINARY SKETCHES
ARE BEING SHAPED UP
BISHOP LiBERT TELLS OF WHAT
HAS BEEN DONE THUS FAR
TO ADVANCE THE
WORK

Simplicity Is to be the keynote o.
the convent building witch Will short-
ly be erected by the Sisters ol the sac
rcd Hearts at kaimuki. Heretofore the
boarding department has been con-
Quoted III connection with the day
school maintained In the grounds III
The Cathedral OF Our Lady of Peace,
but II has long been desired TO scpar-
ate these two departments and a5 soon
as plans can be completed and tho
money raised work will be begun. The
site includes 1--we and u hall acres and
comprises block. The building will
| iaCe the Waialae road and Is to be well
suited for the demands to be MADE
upon It,
While no sum has yet been an
nounced Bishop Libort has said that
| the cost ought to be brought within
| S2j. GOO. This sum has seemed To thoso
| Interested too small and II additional
| iunGs can be raised better ana more
adequate building may be erected.
Architect Campbell, In collaboration
with Bishop Libcrt, is working on plans
but as yet only suggestive drawings
have been made and these are SUBJECT
to change. The building will be two
stories III height and will be built ol
'.ie blue Hawaiian stone. The ground
area Will be about IL by lO0'icct.
The preliminary sketch shows Il yer.
anda az the front of the building and
u campanile above the second story
| Back of the entrance hull Is shown 9
long corridor from which open various
class rooms suited to the needs Of thu
school. AT either side III the cntranc'
hall will probably be reception rooms
4 At the lott end oil the corridor Is lOcdt
cd the dining room and across the hal
IRON II a sisters dining room. III,
culinary department will be conyen
iently arranged In u corner Of TIL
building.
The laundry aud bath rooms vii
probably be put IN u small out building
at convenient distance iiom the mali
structure and will be furnished with al
things nccdiul.
The second floor OF the building
shows chapel, and dornituries Tor pu
pills and Sisters. The children's dorm
llury ut the front will be about sc by ~
ic2t aud the chapel will be 20 by 0,
feet.
One good feature Is To- be the must,
academy, which will probably be ar
ranged In a separate building and ia
enough away from the main cdiilcc 81
that the sound OF music practice shal
not disturb the students at other work
II was originally planned 10 have thi
music section connected with the mat
building by corridor, but this scheme
was abandoned for the better one q
separate buildings. There will be lei
small class rooms each with It's owl
piano. and the partitions will be u
stone so that little sound will pcnc
,ratc the walls. The building vii
he circular In shape and In the ccntc
will be tho teachers room, while stiI
another faculty room will be locate
near the entrance way
TIL. walls win bc plastorod and nm
tinted and the woodwork for interio
6niSh will he simple In finish. Strength
durability and simplicity will be com
bined In every feature of the buildin
and the furnishing, while adequate, wi
be simple In every way. There VIII h
nothing ornate in the building an
every dollar expended will 90 for som
necessary thing.
There are thirty-slx Sisters In tn
