The scope of the operations Of the
bureau of American ethnology was

extended so as to include the ethno-
Iogy OF the Hawaiian Islands. The
appropriations OF the bureau were,
at the time OF the change, devoted
to certain Investigations on subjects
pertaining to American Indians, ana
II was considered advisable to eonti-
nue. these until their completion
Therefore, the opportune presenta-
tion of memoir on the "Unwritten
Literature of Hawaii dealing spe-
cifically with the sacred songs OF the
hula, was gladly welcomed for pub
LEGATION and is now issued as number
80 of the series OF bulletins. The
author, DR.. Nathaniel b. Emerson,
makes his home In Honolulu and was
born In Waialua on the island OF
Oahu.
All peoples give expression to their
emotions by song. and their songs
are frequently accompanied by dane
ing and music. Among the aborig-
inal Hawaiians the hula" was the
most conspicuous means of accom-
plishing this purpose. Says the au-
thor: THE most telling record of a
peoples intimate life is the record
which 1t unconsciously makes in Its
songs" In further explanation Of
the relation of the hula to the life
of the Hawaiians. DR.. Emerson says:
When we ask what emotions stirred
the heart of the old-time Hawaiian
as he approached the great themes Of
life and death, of ambition and jea-
lousy, of sexual passion, of romantic
love. OF copjugal love, and parental
love. what his attitude toward Ma
ture and the dread forces of earth

themselves. under the forms OF dra-
matte art to the refreshment OF
mems minds" The hall or 'halau"
In which the hula was performed,
was originally built by the native, as
a temple to his god" and a formid-
able code governed the selection OF
the site-''there were omns to be
Needed" In more recent times, with
the passing of the strict tabu and RI
gorous etiquet, less care has been
taken with the building of the ha-
lau. In every one of these there was
an altar which was the visible tenn
porary abode of the deiE. The dec
Grafton and conservation of the ha-
lau and its contents were accom-
plished with elaborate ceremonies in
GLIDING adulatory prayers sung to
the deity Laka.--
In the forests, on the ridges
or the mountains stands Laka:
Dwelling In the source OF the mists.
Thine alone are the pillars of Ka-
hiki,
Warm greeting, beloved one,
We hail thee!
There were many gods Of hula, af-
fecting each of whom were special
decorations with plants and flowers,
as well as special songs. One of
these was Kapo, who was the sister
of Pele and the daughter of Hau-
mea. She was the divine patron OF
the hula and like Laka at times she
was sylvan deity. It was in the
garb of woodland representations
that she was most worshipped by the
hula folk
The ceremOnials connected with
the support and organization OF the
hula are of interest, and these find
full description. The rules governing
the selection of the performers-the
agile ones for the dances and the
sturdy ones for the handling the In.
struments--as well as mention OF
the duties of the officers, receive
adequate consideration. The cere-
monies of entrance into the guild OF
hula dancers are elaborate. The
prayer-song begins: -
Oh wildwood bouquet, oh Laka!
Hers are the growths that stand
here
Suppliants We to Laka.
Then as the neophyte approaches
the altar prayer is made which
concludes with the duplication:
o l.aka. incline to me!

The modern Kui. the formal pub

For that interesting ceremonial these

DIR. Emerson sums up his study OF
this unwritten literature with the
following words: THE poetry OF
ancient Hawaii evinces a deep and
genuine love OF Nature. and a min
ute. affectlonate. and untiring OBJ
servation Of her moods. which II
would be hard to fnd surpassed In
any literature. Her poets never tir-
ed Of depicting Nature: sometimes.
indeed, their art seems hcaven-b born.
The mystery. beauty, and magnlll-
cence OF the island world appealed
profoundly to their souls; In the
them the ancient Hawaiian found
the image OF man the embodiment OF
deity; and their myriad moods and
phases were for him an inexhausti-
