Robertson Added to College
Collection.

A. G. NJ. Robertson has presented to
the trustees of the Oahu College d

tee of the college from 1860 to 1867
The picture now is in the Office of the
secretary of the corporation, A. F.
Judd, but it will soon be hung in one
of the halls at the college. An effort
is being made to get similar photo
graphs or pictures of about the same
size and of similar framing of all the
trustees of the college. This would
make notable gallery of distinguish
ed sons of Honolulu, for the college has
been most fortunate in the personnel
of the men who have guided its desti-
MES on the board of trustees. Among
the nearly sixty men who have helped
to make the college what it is may be
mentioned Chief Justices W. L. Lee,
f. H. Allen, G. c. Harris, A. Francis
Judd, w. F. Frear, w. D.. Alexander,
Judge S. B. Dole. Richard Armstrong,

be able to grow fine rubber producing
trees.
in Malaga Hevea trees are gener-
ally planted from stumps from six to
twelve months old. The stumps are
pulled out of the ground and the tap
root is cut so as to leave only from
six to ten inches. The lateral roots are
also cut off about a quarter of an inch
from the stem. The stump itself is
cut off about two inches above the
brown part. which in the case of q six
months old stump, would give US a
stump about three feet high. We dig
a hole about fifteen inches square and
fifteen inches deep, which we filed up
again with surface soil and then plant
the stump. In planting care must be
taken to have the loose earth round the
stump packed solid and also not to bury
more of the stump than was originally
underground in the nursery.

Mr.. Wallace manages the Honolulu
rubber plantation owned by local inves-
tors and knows the business. He CON
tinued: s'As regards the situations of

that more suitable land for rubber
planting might have been obtained.
While there are patches of very good
| rubber land at Nahiku there are at the
same time parts on which rubber IS
planted that viii in my opinion never
grow good trees. First, on account of

| on account of their being too much
| exposed. While at Nahiku | saw Ceara
| trees near the sea which had lost their
+! leaves owing to their having been
| shriveled up by the storm of a couple

doing better than the Hevea but put
this down chiefly to practically all of

Hevea would grow well. The trouble
with Nahiku in my mind for Hevea is
as follows: The lower land is too near
the sea (and thus is exposed to the
salt air, which rubber trees cannot
stand), while the upper lands are toe
high, cold and wet.

Enumeration being provided therefor as

The bill stipulates that it shall be the
duties of the medical inspectors to ex-
anime every child reported to them by
the principal of a school 'as a child
returning to school without health Ger
tificate after absence on account OF
illness or unknown causes.'
The bill provides for the careful ex-
animation of every school child at least
once a year, and immediate excelsior
from school if found to be afflicted
III the most remote degree with any
thing Of a contagious nature.
Section reads as follows:
tThe Department of Public Instruc-
ton shall provide for students in the
Normal School instruction and practise
in the best methods of testing the sight
and hearing of children, and shall pro-
vide child s study laboratory for the
