The trees are magnificent in

and tidiness. The school build
ings are all right. AS we write,

plus 13I boys, in attendance

Only handful more can now
be taken, and they must be little
boys, as the higher grades can
take in, no more.

the College one new building,
then one hundred, if waiting,
could enter. The College has not
as yet received present in that
line, not an endowment, even.
The students support the place,
entirely; and, there must be many
and great expenses.
1t is a mighty work, 631 boys,
and many of them boarders!

become an important city of the

is general unanimity of opinion as
to the necessity for making Oahu,
at least, an impregnable naval and
military outpost, and that con.
tinued appropriations to carry out
the governments plans are neces-
sary, while they are also general
ly of the opinion that the harbors
on the Islands should be develop
ed without stint, and that break
waters now under construction
should be completed without de-
lay. There is general unanimity
also as to the Importance of pro-
viding homes for settlers. Con-
corning the land laws, there is yet
expressed some doubt as to Just
how the problem is to be solved.
The suggestion is that the initia-
tive should be taken by the Ter
