KAUAI IN THE LEAD

OF more than ordinary interest to
Kauaiians this year was the Hawai-
ian Poultry show which came to an
end last week after one of the most
interesting exhibits of fancy poul-
try ever held i'll the islands.
The prize for the most perfectly
shaped bird and one of the largest of
all prizes, was captured by Sheriff
w. H Rice, the bird being a perfect
type in the bui1-orpingtom family.
Sheriff Rice also copped five other
prizes all being won on absolute
merit.
With an entrance of FIVE fowls,
the Sheriff received six ribbons
which is certainly unfolding Kau-
ais end of the game in a most gra-
tifying manner.

At last after six years Of talk
the new Hanapepe school has as
sumed visible form, at least on
paper and it is expected that the
building will be completed by
September 1st, for use for the
coming year,
Messrs. Ripley & Reynolds are
completing the final plans, the
preliminary ones having been ac-
cepted by the Supt. of Schools and
by the Supt. of Public Works.
A brief history of the school in
Hanapepe may be of interest.
The first school was started in
1887 on a lot that is now planted
in cane and is situated down be-
low Hanapcpe on the west side OF
the road running to the beach
Some years later it was moved
about one mile up the valley and
placed on the west side of the old
government road. In the go q
new, two room building was erect
ed in Hanapepe on the present
site, and soon after arrangements
were made with the Hawaiians tC
move their school that was up the
valley down to the present site
which was done by taking it down
and floating it down the river
during a flood. In 1901 the pre-
The Garden Island. [volume] (Lihue, Kauai, H.T.) 1902-current, 1911-12-19

sent three room school was built
at a cost of S1994, Soon t h e
school population out grew all
SCI ool Accommodations and old
shacks were stuck up to meet the
emergency.
For years the school officials
were casting around in the valley
for a suitable school site but one
obstacle after another prevented
the selection.
In talking the matter over with
Dr.. O'Neill he said, why not
build right here north of the hos
pstal?" Enough was said. The
site is the peer of any site in the
Hawaiian Islands. The view is
commanding from the school and
in return the school will be seen
for miles around.
1t is cool and a nice breeze is
blowing all the time. No more
sanitary location could be found
any where. 1t is free from the
annoyance Of passing vehicles,
dogs, chickens and other things to
distract the attention of the chill
dren, not even a residence in the
immediate section.
The lot has 7 acres in it which
is reasonably level. It is hoped
that the lot will soon be leveled in
