of coral blocks and went to Punahou
school of which his father was one of
the trustees at that time.
He was quite a lively boy and there
are many tales told of his escapades
with others. He at one time created
quite disturbance in Honolulu because
the British Consulate flag was lowered
to half-mast and residents anxiously in
quired at the Consulate. It was found
that Sam Armstrong; dog had died
and the boys had set the flag at half
mast.
He took the ordinary high-school
course and then went to Williams Col.
Iege about 1858. He graduated in 1860
at the time the war broke out. AL
though he had only been in the United
States two years, his father was a
Pennsylvania man and his mother was
from Springfield, Mass, and he did not
wait to deliver his yaledictory address
but wrote it out to be read for him
and rushed to the City of Troy where
he organized a volunteer company of
which he became captain and enlisted
in the Civil War. On account of his
youth, he had considerable trouble to
make the United States authorities ad-
NIT him to a commission in the regular
army upon examination, though his
high standing in the mathematics of the
subject, persuaded them to allow him to
take the commission as captain.
His company was among the volun-
teers from New York and its campaign
ing was done with the army of the
Potomac. He was in most of the big
battles in which that army was en-
gagged and at the battle of Gettysburg
won promotion for bravery. He had
been promoted to the rank of colonel
and was mustered ont at the end of the
war with the rank of general

nation. he was appointed to the com
mand of negro troops made up from
emaneipated slaves and this accident
shaped his career thereafter. He was
at the head of negro troops at the bat
tie of Gettysburg and he found them
brave soldiers under good leadership.
His altruistic spirit gave him more
than a passing interest in his men, and
he tells how, after the surrender of Lee,
he was the first to enter Richmond, be-
cause it was feared that the surrender
would result in an ambush. and thew

there to be mustered out, the question
came into his head in logical connee-
fion of what these negroes were to do
after they ceased to be soldiers. They
were no longer slaves, and they had no
training as Independent free men. While
they were provided for during the war,
the future was all an unknown field to
them. Those that had had good masters
were worse off than before. so far as
personal comfort was concerned, and

Taps is just sounded -
The quality which made him a fierce
fighter and won for him promotion in
the army was because he acted upon the
theory which he afterwards expressed
as follows:
"'Call a fools GRAND not that of a.
man who burns his ships and attempts
what seems impossible, but the life of
a man who risks nothing and hugs safe
ty and comfort. Only what the world
calls folly is worthy of the moral ener-
gies of man. Doing what can t be done

While camping at Hampton, Virginia
with these troops this question was fer
| menting in his mind, and the result was
an application to the War Department
for leave to organize school and as
Segment by him to duty to train these
negro troops to be useful citizens.
This condition of things, however
could not last long, and did not survive
the reconstruction period. General Arm
strong became enthusiastic upon the
problem of organizing school where
this inferior race should be trained in
the rudiments of an education of the
mind in reading, writing, aad arithme-
tic, and some other subjects necessary
to make them intelligent citizens and
to make them pay for their education
by manual labor and especially by
skilled manual labor. He threw him
self into this work with such vigor that
he had soon obtained donations sufi-
clent to build a hall and buy land on
which TO farm. The principle of the
school was to train the hand as well as
the head, and the pupils did not give
especial attention to theoretical edu-
cation, but depended upon the products
of their hands to help pay the expenses
OF the school. Soon there were black
smith shops, carpenter shops, harness
shops, laundries, dressmaking rooms,
cooking schools, and many other manual
shops at work, but every pupil was com
PEELED to do some farm work.
some of the elements of the idea
OF TINS school were suggested by the
necessities at Lahainaluna Seminary of
compelling the pupils to till the soil in
order to help support themselves. This
scnool has grown to be the greatest
model OF manual training schools in
existence. Gen. Armstrong died still
lecturlng and touring the country to
get more funds with which to endow
the school. 1t was his hfework and he
put into it all his strength and more
than he could afford for he died a com
paratlvely young man in 1908. He was
buried at Hampton, Virginia, and his
grave IS marked by a block of stone
taken from near his old Punahou School
for he always had aloha for Hawaii
nei.
He seemed to be one of those fortu-
nate men who enjoyed the work they
dld more than anything else in the
world. He once said, Few men have
had the chance that | had. [ never
gave up or sacrificed anything in nv
iife-haTe been. seemingly. guided in

beliefs for he had said, "Nothing navs

lie once said. HWhen a nation gives
mp its best youth to save its principles
and its freedom, it is richer for the
sacrifice. - Another time he said,
: Lookout that no one of you shall be
come man with a country, a half
hearted America; plant the stick of
your destiny somewhere. and fight it
out. Stand for something beside your
own personal interest -
With all his serious work, he never
seemed to grow old. He was always
ready fer a laugh and a frolic when
off duty. That made him light hearted
even when overburdened with work
One of his sayings was, ga man who
