ARBOR DAY KEPT
AT lAHAINALUNA

| The Arbor Day work and festivities
of today will long be remembered by
those who took part in them. and the
visitors, for among those who honored
the scene with their presence was
Queen Liliuokalani.
This popular lady who, though out of
office still reigns queen In the hearts
of her people. listened with pleasure to
the program and expressed herself as
being very pleased with the program
and with the manner in which the stu
dents acquitted themselves.
Then, supported by the principal, Mr..
Macdonald, the Queen led the way to
the planting.
The final tree, a royal palm, was
planted by Liliuokalani and, turning to
the principal, she said:
"Tell the boys that as that tree grows
up In strength and beauty, so / hope
that they will grow also. strong and
noble, and that they will be pride to
their parents. to the school and to the
country"
| Hawaii Ponoi" was then sung by the
whole assemblage, followed by my
Country IT'S of Thee"
The Queen and other visitors and the
faculty then entered Mrs. Macdonald's
cottage, filling the rooms and lanai,
where tea, cakes, sandwiches. ETC., were
served Music began to be heard after
a while, and II was the Queens sweet
song Zone of her own composition, 1
believe.) and II was a great treat to
all. especially so to those who had not
heard Her Majesty's composition be-
fore. Miss PHI accompanied herself on
the piano, and also sang some moro of
Liliuokalanis songs.
1t will now have in addition the sig
nature on It's visitors register. among
others this day, of Hawaii's last queen,
and n tree planted by Her Majesty's
own hands which, with Its verdant
leaves. will help to keep ever green, in
the hearts of her people, her kindly
feeling for her loving people and be a
memorial of her interest in the welfare
and education of her race.
