from 1892 to 1896. and John Chiffon
served as captain in the Third Virginia
Regiment, commanded by Thomas Mar
shall, and was killed at the battle OF
Brandywine. September II, 1777. An
other John Chiffon served az first
lieutenant in Captain Charles More

OAHU COLLEGE
TERM DETAILS
Much New Talent Engaged
Mr.. Fits Made Punah0u
Principal.

The force of teachers for the opening
of Oahu College, which comes Monday.
September Is, is now complete. The
prospects for a good year at the coll
iege never were better. In increasing
the accommodations of the buildings
and in securing larger teaching staff
than ever. provision has been made for
a large attendance.
To fill the place made vacant by the
resignation of Miss Graydon, who was
called to professorship in Butler Col
lege, Miss Antoinette ]. Foster has been
engaged. Miss Foster is a most sue
cessfuI teacher whose work for one
year at the college during Miss Gray
don's leave of absence made her the
prompt and unanimous choice for the
position. Miss Jeane P. Halford, who
is a graduate of Mt. Holyoke and who
has studied in Paris. will teach French.
Miss Halford has had three years
teaching experience in New England
AAASn SCUOOIS.
The new teacher of stenography and
typewriting will be Miss Frances NJ.
Hardy, who is especially recommended
by John R. Gregg, whose system of
shorthand is used at the college. She
has had wide business and teaching ex-
perience.
Universal satisfaction is expressed at
| the promotion of Charles T. Fits, who
has been the head of the Latin depart
/ ment in the college, to the principal
ship Of the Punahou Preparatory
! School. Mr.. Fits, who is one of Pu-
nahou's most popular teachers, will
bring qualities to his new position
which Will give great strength to the
! school To succeed him in the Latir
! position in the college. Mr. Edmund X

teach the seventh grade. Miss Grace
E. Moore, an honor graduate of STAN
ford University, who has taught most
successfully in Oregon schools, will
have charge of the eighth grade.
Miss Mary May Thomas, a graduate
of Columbia University, New York,
who has had teaching experience, will
be assistant matron in charge of the
girls in the boarding department. Dur
ing this last year, Miss Thomas has
taught in Mrs. Dodge's school and in
the Palama Settlement school.
The music department will be con-
Quoted on a somewhat different plan
as far as its administration is concern
ed. There will be no director of music,
but the piano, vocal, violin and organ
departments will each be in charge OF
one teacher. Pupils may select any
teacher on the force. Miss G. X
Brown will teach piano and Mrs. A. B.
ingalls, will have charge of the violin
department, as formerly. Mr.. r. Rud-
land Bode, whose musical work in st.
Andrews and with the Symphony Or
chestra has made him leading must
clan in Honolulu. will have entire
charge of the choruses in both schools
Bode is also an organist and pianist,
he will greatly strengthen the depart
ment. Miss Margaret E. Clarke, whose
musical education has been of the fin
est and whose playing both of the piano
and the organ has attracted much at
tention, will teach those instruments.
The new department of oral express
sion, which is to be fully organized
this year for the first time, will be in
charge of Miss Mary E. Bruce. Miss
Bruce will superintend the teaching OF
reading in the grades and will have
classes in rhetoricals and dramatics in
the college She will be in control OF
the college dramatics. Miss Bruce Is
unusually we'll qualified for this work,
as she has had, in addition TO her
professional training, a fine musical
education and experience in teaching
in her department in both public and
private schools.

leaders of the Okla crowd. and they are
alleged to have declared that Fukuzaki
and his followers will be compelled 10
