children left the islands permanently
last year. But even in the face of this,
we are worried by the problem of pro-
viding adequate accommodations for
those who remain.
1T is not easy to say whether the
causes of the increase in attendance
are stable and permanent. 1t Is be-
lieved that they are, and, that, al
though there will be fluctuations due
to new influences and to unexpected
events, the plans of the Corporation
must take this growth into account.
1.-THE plans for the enlargement Of
Pauahi Hall, now being carried out,
will give us the maximum Assembly
Hall capacity. The additional recita-
ton rooms in Bingham Hall will pro-
vide us none too soon with the neces-
sary class rooms. The Library will
give us fine working place. When
Bishop Hall of Science is enlarged in
accordance with our plan, we shall
have provided our best equipment for
the College students. After this, we
shall not be able to avoid a decision
between increasing our accommoda-
tions in some large way and definitely
limiting the number of students. A
statement of the registration in the
classes last year that will next year
make the four College classes shows
that, after making due allowances for
losses such as departure from the ISL
ands and other reasons, we shall have
as many students as we can comfort
ably accommodate.

'The six additional teachers for
1906-1907 are as follows:
81. A teacher of French who has
had entire charge of this department.
"2. A teacher of Stenography and
who has taken all of this
work from the head of the Commercial
go. An additional teacher who has
had charge of the Boarding Depart
ment girls after school hours.
%. An additional teacher who has
had classes in Science and Maizena,
tics.
IS. A second assistant to the mat
ron who has assisted in the chaperon-
age.
&c. An additional grade teacher,
who has mad charge of one division of
he fifth grade.
"The additional teachers in French, ]
and Typewriting, and in
he grades were necessities on ac-
.ount of the increased enrolment. The
additional assistance in the Boarding
has more than justified
Itself in the effect upon the adminis-
ration of the department, upon the
of the girls themselves,
lot to mention the relief it gave to the
women teachers to whom the super
-ision at times came almost as the last
traw.
Next year we shall have still an adj
itional department.
Il. A teacher of oral expression
yho will teach reading in the grades
nd classes in oral expression-read-
ng, rhetoricals, dramatics-in the Col
eye. From this teacher much is hop
d in improving the speech of the
both in correctness of pro-
unciatiOn and in clearness of articu-
alton and enunciatiOn
while the increase in buttons has
SISTED in meeting the additional ex-
ense in the salary list, it is well es-
lblished that buttons do not increase
s fast as expenses in a growing in
fitution. In spite of the growth in
udents, the table of number of teach
rs shows that the number of pupils
err teacher has diminished rather than
lcreased The current catalogue also
lows a broader and a richer course
study"
