log house should plant an evergreen
tree. The lot fell on Jasper n.
Burks, who with spade in hand soon
planted young cedar tree in the
center between the four corner
stones.
The crowd then moved on to the
site of the frame building that was
built during the sos, to take the
place of the log house, and which
was destroyed by fire on January .,
1883. After stopping few moments
and inquiring who among the crowd
was the oldest who ever attended
school at the frame building, II was
found that Y. B. Chandler, past u
years, was the oldest one present,
and he with one consent of the
crowd planted a cedar tree in the
center between the corner stones Of
house No. ,.
The sites OF both the old houses
are grown mp with such large bushes
and trees that the passers-by would
never notice that house had ever
stood there 20 and - years ago re-
spectivcIy. The crowd, which was
gradually getting larger, then moved
on IA half nile east to the present
school house, where n large crowd
Of younger students and friends
preeted the older ones; and the bal
ance of the forenoon was spent by
all In greetings, handshaking ana
telling "reminiscences of bygone
days.
At the noon hour II sumptuous
dinner was spread under the beau
tlful shade trees, where all, old ana
young, feasted till their hunger was
satisfied, and still there was enough
left to feed another multitude. When
one O'Clock arrived, the crowd be-
ing at about it's largest 90 by ac-
tual count, the assembled people
were called to order by I. B. Chand-
Ter, and DR.. l.. NJ. Perkins was
elected chairman of the meeting and
II. B. Chandler secretary.
DR.. Perkins then called upon Hon.
Jasper \. Burks for Il speech, who
reviewed the history of the school
during the 20 years OF its existence
in n mastery way; and as he was
born in 1910, the year the school
was founded ard had spent his en-
tire life there and at Pennington, he
has n vivid recollection of most all
the old patrons and students and
teachers that ever attended or taught
at any of the three school houses.
He told In a most forceful way
the hardships the young folks OF
30, 60 and 20 years ago had to endure
in order to get only a good start for
an education; how that the schools
during tho winter were only sub
scription schools, and often only
two or three months long, and so
few and far between that many chill
dren had to go as much as three or
four miles to school; how poorly the
school houses were provided with
comforts for teacher or student. He

The idea of public Fairgrounds and
recreation parks for the crowded orr

Civic Federation. Its committee on
schools presented a substantial report
on the need of these institutions, rec
ommending property and the manner
Of equipping the Fairgrounds.
While the report was referred back
to the committee for further study and
report, the discussion of it was favor
able. If the plans of the committee
are worked out, the Queen Emma prop

tania avenues viii be one of the lots
redeemed for playground purposes.
At present this property IS an eyesOre

which graced the place when it was the

It seems to be the general impression

third year of existence Will represent

come forward and claim their right to
make the tree as cosmopolitan as it
should be, for the japanese merchants

This is the first year that the ,Tapa

GREAT WORK ACCOMPLISHED
Hawaiian Day Is Celebrated With
Addresses in Central

The Central Union Churcn celebrates
two days in the vear-PaIm Sunday and
Hawaiian Day-and yesterday was Ha-
waiian Day. A special service had been
prepared and included in 1t were ad-
dresses from four gentlemen who have
the spreading of the word throughout
the Hawaiian Islands at heart. The
speakers covered a grea1 deal OF ground
and one and all seemed to have g,eat
hope for the future, the one detrimental
feature being the old, old crv-short-
age of money The Hawaiian board
came in for much praise at the hands
of all
Rev. Orramel II. Gulick expressed a
hopeful view as to the future of the
Hawaiian churches and people. Al,
together there are siXty-seven organized
churches throughout the Islands and
they are doing great work. They are
the direct heritage of the missionaries
who came to these Island in the early
'
churches. he asserted that they had as
much right to be called churches as any
others on earth. The people who attend
them believe what they are taught and
also what they could read for them
selves. 1t is the usual custom amongst
most of them to have morning prayers.
and also to ask God s blessing at each
meal These church members should
have the respect of every member OF
the white and foreign community IN
the Islands.
Although there are sixty-seven
churches they have only thirty-folr
pastors to do the work in connection
with them. This meant that every man
had to look after two churches, main
one and a branch One of the greatest
helps the Hawaiian people have Is their
characteristic trait of lightheartedness.
Nothing could ever dismay them for
long. and it was this that had helped
in great way to carry them so far
along to the goal they are striving for.

The business woman understands
men better than the woman who only
sees them with their best clothes and
best manners on. She has worked
alongside OF them when they were in
their shirt sleeves and their manners
wero Of the same prosaic variety, She
knows their innermost failings as well
as their innermost vlrtueS. She looks
at them without Illusions She studies
them with calm, keen. Impartial eyes.
And seeing them at their worst as
we'll as at their best, she is able TO
decide clearly what she doesn't want

want
The money question has always
been and still is in many homes
burning issue What many woman
has suffered because she has no mon

heart knows. Above all things does
the business woman want this imam
