will have an approach via Alexandel
street while the latter will be reached
through Kaala avenue. There is ample
room for the agricultural features which
have been planned. The land contains
fine spring of water yielding some
100000 gallons per diem and is further
supplied by an auwai with a right OF
one days use every week.
MRS. ALIENS GIFT.
Mrs. S. c. Allen, who has long been
most deeply interested in the growth
of Kawaiahao Seminary, generously
donated $4,000 towards the girls de
partment of the institute. The present
building on King street will yield nc
tageously put to use in the erection OF
necessary outbuildings and the like.
J. B. ATHERTON MEMORIAL.
Ever since it's organization and until
his decease the late Hon. J. B. Ather
ton was one of the most faithful friends
and generous supporters that kawaia'
hao has ever known. In all that he
did for the Seminary Mrs. Atherton
participated and in fact for many years
has served as a member of the Board
of Directors. She has long been de-
sirous of testifying in permanent
fashion to the lifelong interest felt in
the school by Mr.. Anterior, and has
decided to have this take the form of
a memorial building which shall ade-
quately house the future Kawaiahao.
For this purpose Mrs Anterior has do
mated the splendid sum of twenty-five
thousand dollars.
FINANCIAL PLANS.
Funds are now being sought to erect
building for the boys department.
Into this the present Mills Institute
will be moved together with the Japa-
nese and Korean contingents. A cam
paign is also contemplated to raise an
endowment of at least two hundred and
fifty thousand dollars.
A UNIQUE CHARACTERISTIC.
One of the most delightful futures
of the institution is it's interdenomina-
tional character. Methodists unite with
congregationalists in the enterprise,
Rev. John w. Wadman, the genial and
popular Superintendent of NJ. E. work
in the Territory, being an enthusiastic
member of the Board of Managers. The
primary school maintained by his
church for Koreans will graduate boys
and girls into the institute, and main
land support will be sought by him for
charging and strengthening its work.
EDUCATIONAL CROWN.
The Mid-Pacifc Institute will natural
ly serve as the capstone of the educa-
tional enterprise fostered by the Ha-
waiian Board and its connections. This
embraces HiIo Boarding School, Kohala
and Maunaolu Seminaries and a score
or two of plantation schools throughout
the Territory. While aggressively
Christian in its work it will know no
nor will it be bounded by
any racial lines whatsoever. It's chief
aim will be to turn out the kind of men
and women needed in Hawaii for the
largest development of the resources
of the Territory. Hand as well as
head will be trained. This will neeessl-
tate a somewhat wide range of work,
such as can only be developed slowly
and according as adequate resources are
supplied by men and women of large
means. The relations which the IN
,titute must necessarily come to hold
with the great peoples of the Orient
are fascinating in prospect. Already
Mills Institute has sent over to China
men who are leading in the new move
nents that are focusing the world 5
attention. So the intercourse between
East and West grows more complex, the
of influence which an ade-
luatelv endowed institution of this
,haracter should exert are seen to be
very great Nothing that Hawaii has
odav promises more for the future
han this modest undertaking.
