ING CEREMONY.

ciples that were being instilled at the
very time into the minds of the youth
of the land. Among all classes it came
to be considered a disgrace to be a
shipped or contract laborer. The Por-
tuguese who were brought here under
that system refused, almost universal
ly, when their contracts were out, to
renew them. 1t was, in short a case
where we had to reconstruct our ideals
or abandon contract labor. and thus,
naturally, it fell into disuse as I'm
wholesome and unfit for perpetuation
before ever the application of Ameri-
can laws made it Illegal as well, when
but for the presence and the accept
ance of ideals that warred inevitably
against and with that system Hawaii
might well have been committed in a
wholesale and permanent way to a
system closely allied to serfdom.
Again, when the issue arose as to
whether Hawaii should be annexed to
the United States or remain indepen-
dent, it was after all our belief in
and our acceptance of the principles
and traditions upon which the great
Republic was founded that led us to
accept annexation, and which brought
it about when it came. So far as the
material side of the issue was con-
cerned. the argument seemed to be
AGAINST annexation. Anti-annexation-
lists said. You will lose your labor
market if you annex, and then how
is the work of the plantations to be
done?' In reply, it was said that an
nexation would make secure the mar
ket for the sale of our sugars and
that would compensate for the loss in
labor But the tariff was uncertain,
likely to be reduced and might be
abandoned. At any time the annexa-
ton of Cuba or the full admission of
the Philippines as a Territory might
end or materially curtail the benefits
of the tariff once and for all: and,
more than all. by remaining indepen-
dent we did not necessarily forego
the benefits of the reciprocity treaty.
In some modified form the United
States would unquestionably have con-
tirued to discriminate in favor of the
products of Hawaii in order to main
tain her hold upon these islands At
any rate, the dangers from an appar-
emily certain loss of our labor market
seemed far greater than the risks we
ran of losing the benefits of the tariff.
And from the mere standpoint of ar
gument we believe the anti-annexa-
tionists had the best of it. What
really turned the tide was the innate.
inherited, inbred belief IN and regard
for the institutions. ideas and ideals
upon which the government of the
United States was founded. 1t was
hard work to convince men that it
was bad thing for these islands to /
be annexed to that country, and an
neXation was, in fact, brought about |
by an apparent unreasoning belief in |
the wisdom of committing Hawaii /

THE VALUE OF IDEALS.
The celebration of the days event,
marking another contribution to the
ideal that education was for all, was
the theme of the address of w. A.
Kinney, who in a most interesting way
elaborated on the ideal of freedom of
opportunity for all classes and the
benefit of such an ideal to a nation.
He compared the condition of the
North and South at the time of the
Civil War, when the rich South, the
land of class, went down before the
educated masses of the relatively
poorer North.
In Hawaii" said Mr.. Kinney. I'VE
have had a striking Illustration of the
value of ideals in keeping men to the
right track when judgment, reason and
the exigencies of the hour seemed 20
point the other way. Hawaii in de-
veloping the sugar industry committed
herself to what is known as the labor
contract SYSTEM whereby a man
could be imprisoned for failure TO
carry out his contract to perform la
Dor. One of our own judges, while
Hawaii was still an independent gov
eminent, declared from the bench that
the contract system was in violation
of the constitutional provision against
involuntary servitude, and all of US
undoubtedly felt that the system need
ed apologies and explanations. At the
same time it was contended with a
force that was very generally accept
ed throughout the country as conclu-
sive, that the cane industry absolutely
needed the contract labor system. and
without it would go to the wall It
certainly did seem as if our main in
dustry could be conducted far more
profitably with labor under the con-
troll of such a system than with labor
at liberty to do as it pleased. Yet
that system had received its death
blow and was on its way to. extihc-
ton long before annexation came AMI
put formal and legal quietus to its
further continuance. And what sent
it into a decline and marked it for
extinction but the fact that it could
not be reconciled with the ideals and
ideas upon which the government was
founded? 1t was incompatible with
our system of universal education: it
was incompatible with manhood suf- /
frage, and many other ideas and prin-

MISS DORoTHEA ALICE

Cooke, who advanced the sum of $4,000
last year for the purchase of new
books. This has been wisely expended
in the purchase of the choicest books
relating to each department of the in
struction given in the college. 1t is
but just to mention here the valuable
service rendered by Miss Graydon, who
did not spare time and thought and
labor in the selection of these books,
which was for her a labor of love.
AN OPPORTUNITY FOR STUDENTS
The value of the library for the stu
dents of Punahou and the duty of the
members of the alumni towards aiding
in the support of the institution were
spoken of by Judge Antonio Perry,
who reminded the students that by
Strengthening the library by their
visits and the consultation of the books
of learning to be found there they
would be strengthening themselves.
The library would be of benefit only as
it was used. 1t would be there as an
aid to the students, but the students
must go to it.
He reminded the members of the
alumni that the college was not self
supporting, the last financial state
ment having shown that the expense
of maintenance overbalanced the total
income by several thousand dollars
last year. 1t was not to be expected
that the library could be maintained
out of the college funds. as this would
mean retrogression elsewhere, some
thing not to be considered. For fur
/ nishing the library alone a sum of
$4,000 would be needed, while there
were but five thousand of the fifty
thousand needed volumes on hand.
Punahou students had prospered and
part of their prosperity they owed
to their college.
IN PRAISE OF BOOKS.
Nine of the students then recited
various poetical selections in reference
to the value of literature to mankind.
Each of the young men and young
ladies distinguished him or herself in
this part of the program in the excel
lent manner in which they spoke and
the distinctness of their pronunciation,
their voices carrying clearly to the
very outskirts of the large assem-
blage. Those who took part in this
series were the Misses Edith Howard
Smith, Alice May Spalding. Vera May
Damon, Helen Gertrude North and
Alice Levers Hopper, and Messrs.
Charles S. Davis, Rexford H Hitch
cock, Reynold B. McGrew and John
w. Ballentyne
A college anthem was then sung by
the Alumni Double Quartet, in which
Messrs. w. F. Dillingham;, Harold Dill
bingham, w. H. Babbitt, DR.. Judd,
Albert Along and Clifton H Tracy
took part. The anthem had been writ
ten for the occasion, the words being
as follows:

THE NEW BUILDING.

the trustees. expressed thanks to the
donors of the library building fund
Mr.. and Mrs. Cooke, at the same time
reviewing briefly the history of the
new library, from the financial and
architectural side.
In 1905 when it was necessary to add
both dormitory and lecture accomrlo-
dations, Mr.. and Mrs. Cooke generous
ly gave twenty thousand dollars to-
wards the building fund In working
out these general plans it developed
that to furnish proper facilities for the
rapidly increasing number of books as
well as the reading room space for the
students, a special building would have
| to be provided. This idea was at once
! taken up by Mr. and Mrs. Cooke, who
proposed that their contributions be
used to that end and the plans and
specifications of many Libraries erected
on the mainland. together with the ex-
perience of past years here at Puma
hou, were gone over by President Grit
fiths and the building committee and
rough diagram for the interior of a
building which would be suited to the
climate and needs was evolved
Mr.. Kerr was employed as architect
and drawings and specifications were
submitted for bids. The lowest figure
rendered was S39. 1893. This price was
so far in excess of the funds available,
it seemed unwarranted to attempt to
alter the plans by process of elimina-
ton to bring the cost within the
amount available. At this juncture
Mr.. and Mrs. Cooke again came to
the aid of the trustees. Mr.. Cooke
went carefully over the plans and, af-
ter suggesting a few minor changes,
urged that another call for tenders be
made. The opening of these next bids
showed the lowest offer to be that Of
Mr. John Ouderkirk, s34.293.
Before this disappointment was real
lied, the trustees were advised of a
further gift by Mr.. and Mrs. Cooke Of
$4,000 to the building fund and $4,000
for the purchase of books This
amount. together with the original gift
Of $4,000. with the accrued interest.

cost and the commencement of the
