Evening bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1895-1912, 1909-04-08

Great pleasure, as well as astonish-
ment, was expressed by the visitors
at the general high quality Of the
articles on exhibition, most of the
onlookers being wholly unprepared
to see so many articles OF fine and
beautiful work as were shown.
The variety of the articles shown
was another feature which excited
much favorable comment.
Among the exhibits OF the differ
ent schools, the following were espe-
cially admired and commented on:
Hanapepe School - Articles Of
fine embroidery, babies dresses, GRO
Chef work, and fishing nets. (The
Garden Island reporter was informed
by Mr.. Brodie. principal of this
school, that his pupils, after once
mastering the art of making nets, be-
came very enthusiastic on the sub
ject and pleased with their work, and
had made number Of nets for them
selves in addition to the nets made
for the exhibition. These they treas
ure very carefully, and when Mr..
Brodie made the suggestion that they
allow these private nets to be exhib-
tied also, they would not consent to
1t, and refused to have them taken
out of their possession, even for the
few days necessarily The children
OF this school also showed some OF
the results of their instruction in
letter writing and postal regulations
which will prove of the greatest val
ne to them as they grow older.
Kilauea School - The children OF
this school showed two large and
very well-made seine nets, which
must have taken great deal Of pa
tient labor, and which were evidently
strong enough for any ordinary ocean
fishing.
Kappa School - This exhibit was
very complete and showed much high
class work, among which was the
electric power machinery, including
dynamos, motors, bells. "buzzers,"
and n complete telegraph line with
an instrument at each end,--all OF
these instruments being constructed
by the pupils themselves, out of the
crudest materials, pieces of old iron,
like barrel hoops, carriage bolts, and
nails, insulated copper wire, and old
boards, and other odd bits OF wood,
the copper wire being the only
item OF expense in the whole work,
which made the cost OF the different
articles not more than from fifteen
to thirty cents apiece.
In addition to this section OF me-
nhanical construction, the Kappa
school exhibit also included some
beautifully polished black cocoanuts,
koa-seed ornamental work, fine en-
broidery, wooden picture frames, and
an elegant rosewood" bed, made of
the cheapest woods, but colored to
resemble very closely the more val
liable cabinet woods like rosewood.
mahogany, ebony. oak, koa, kawila,
and kou; also other woodwork, and
some paper flowers which looked
strikingly natural.
Lihue School-0ne Of the best sec
tions OF this exhibit was a perfect
model of the Lihue school building,
made by the boys, about three and a
half feet long by two feet wide, and
one and a half feet high. Hung on
the wall was large bedspread made
by the girls on which had been sew
ed a splendid Hawaiian flag. ...
Kalaheo School - As contrast
to the above exhibit was a primi-
tive Hawaiian hut, skillfully made by
the Kalaheo children. two by three
feet In area and one and half feet
In height. An interesting feature of
this grass house was that II was built
by the children of five different ma
tionalities. The materials were
PUSHES, hala leaves, ferns, small lau-
hala mats, and surrounding wall
OF mortar made from mud and small
stones.
Anahola School-This school show
ed fleet OF the old Hawaiian canoes,
single and double, which looked
very seaworthy. and had their sails
unfurled. They were very well
made, and showed that the boys of
that school are expert with their
pocket-knives.
Koloa School-Showed some we'll
drawn maps of these Islands and of
the United States and other parts of
the world and also some well-exccut-
ed free-hand drawings OF trees and
plants. made by the children from
growing models.
Huleia School Handsome silk
Hawaiian flag pillows, and some very
pretty lauhala mats and cups, and
polished kukui nuts.
Waimea School-This being In the
land of cocoanut trees, Mrs. r. Om-
