the annotated school laws referring to
the organization of union high schools:

tne annotated school laws referring to
the organization of union high schools:
| whenever the school boards of two
contiguous school districts shall each
deem it advisable to establish a Union
High school, the county superintendent
| shall at the request of two of the secre-
taries of the boards, call meeting of
the boards interested by giving personal
notice to each member, which meeting
shall elect by ballot from among the
members of said boards if majority of
the members of said boards be present,
a committee of three to be known as the
high school committee of such union
school. The county superintendent
shall be ex-officio and additional mem
ber of said committee and shall preside
at the meetings thereof. The members
of sad high school committee shall hold
office for and during the terms they are
members of their respective boards.
Any vacancy in such committee other
than such as are caused by the expira-
tionDf the term of office shall be filled
by the school board of which the person
so vacating was member Such COM
mittee snail exercise all the powers and
perform all the duties, with reference
to said high school that are accorded to
and required of school boards through
out tine state. After the establishment
of such high school, it shall be MAIN
tained until the then next regular ap-
portionment of the county school fund
as follows: Each district which shall
have any children attending such high
school shall draw from its school fund
and cause to be placed to the credit of
the high school fund, such part of the
whole expenses as shall be proportioned
to the number of pupils attendant at
such high school from such district. Af-
ter the first year or part of year, the
high school shall be, so far as practic-
able rated as separate district. 1t
shall be entitled to draw from the gen.
eral state and county funds, and the de-
ficit shall be made up from the several
district funds in proportion to the num-
Der of pupils from each district who at
tended said high school during the then
past year.
In grades seven and eight, 129 differ
ent books have been reported as read
since September, of this number 35 have
been drawn from the school library,
which is large per cent considering
the facts that these pupils have drawn
from the library for several years, and
| tha=ssSils book may have been read by
many pupils. 1t is noticeable fact also
that such books as E. S. Thompson s
have been highly enjoyed regardless of
recent criticisms of such literature.
At a regular meeting of the debating
society, Thursday, Jan. 8, the boys vot-
ed to use part of the accumulated money
for material suitable for decorating
their room, No. of Clark building. The
material selected will be largely in keep

The Hawaiian Survey

New York Sun.

first to last the computation and the
field work went side by side, the day
was worked double tides, the men who
read the angles by dagger carried chain
over breakneck fields of lava sat up to
all hours of the night in draughty tents
reducing their observations. Yet an,
other obstacle stood in the way of this
small but enormously enthusiastic sur
vey away out there in the heart of
the Pacific. The constants of nature
proved tickle, the attraction of gravlta-
tion played them tricks, the plumb bob
was found not to hang true, and for a
time it seemed that the very essence
had been lost from positive values. I'm
dismayed, Professor Alexander and his
working force faced this problem; it
was all in the day IS work, and they be-
gan the series of those observations and
computations upon the detection of the
pendulum by local mountain masses
which have led up to a new and more
accurate determination of the true form
of the earth.
In all other cases when the United
States has advanced upon new territory
all has been confusion until the sur
veyors have made their Reconnaissance,
linked up their triangulations with well
established points, and then have laid
down the lines upon which real proper
tv depends. But when Hawaii came
gladly into the Union she came with
her maps in hand and ready to point
ont Jail the metes and bounds of the
property which passed in perfect title.
Tt may be that in time to come the
Coast Survey and the General Land
Office and perhaps other departments
of the Federal Government may elect
to redraw the Hawaiian maps of Pro-
fessor AlexandeY's survey in order to
make them prettier, but the facts of
the geodesy of the eight islands are set
down in series of maps whose accu-
racy is not to be questioned.

At the next halt of the battle fleet
such particular interest attaches to the
examination of Pearl Harbor near Ho-
nolulu that Mr.. Capps of the construc-
ton corps is to accompany the flag in
order to take the advice of his seafar-
ing colleagues at the scene of their joint
inquiry It should not be forgotten
that the cession of that harbor, then
known as Puuloa, so engaged the atten'
ton of King Kamehameha V. in 1872
that the then newly constituted survey
department s.extended the main tri-
angulation to that part of the island,
secondary triangles for the harbor were
measured, and the shore lines run in
with great care by the plane table,
which has been the foundation of all
later work. - The quotation is taken
from the history of the Hawaiian Gov
eminent Survey contained in the re-
port for 1902.
The survey of the Hawaiian Islands,
executed in the face of MANY difficulties
and with niggardly appropriations, has
been accepted by the United States as
standard work in every particular. It's
determine tions have always been found
accurate and its map work has been in
corporated without alteration in the
work of the national Coast and Geodet-
ic Survey. That great survey stands
as monument to the painstaking ac-
curacy of Professor William De Witt
Alexander, who was put at its head by
the last of the Kamehamehas in 1871,
who was continued in his work by his
appreciative sovereigns in succession,
Lunalilo, Kalakaua and Liliuokalani,
who remained hard at work computing
his angles during the revolution and
the Provisional Government, and who
was continued at his life work by the
American administration of that terri
tory until 1901, just thirty years.
In the early history of the survey we
read of the difficulty in getting instru
ments to so remote a spot as Honolulu.
Even so prime a requisite as the bars
for the measurement of the base line
had to pass through Auckland and sgd.
ney on their way from Washington to
the island kingdom. Here and there we
find mention of this or that instrument
of the scanty and painfully acquired
equipment being lost in the making of
landing on some rocky coast. The
surveyors in the field report quite as a
matter of course the means which they
adopted TO get their theodolites to the
tops of preeipiees which to any less de,
voted pursuers of knowledge would have
seemed wholly inaccessible. Nor We're
such as these the only difficulties which
stood in the way of this poorly reward
ed but highly efficient survey. Compu.
tiers had to be trained, surveyors had
to be educated out of such material as
CHANGED to be in the islands. From
