The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1912-02-03

Such an experiment as this was
carefully watched by the high chiefs,
who soon set apart forty acres of
land for the use of the school. 1t is
worth noting that the land and it's
ancient water rights were "consid-
ered' as the property of the school
until in 184S-the constitution of
1840-1S41 and the legal technicalities
arising from the few written laws
raised the land question" The
teachers saw that they were in dan
ger of losing their verbal gift" but
in 1S4S, after a corporation was
formed, the government issued deeds
and for many years gave financial aid
in one form or another.
This boarding school has justified
the faith of the missions and chiefs.
Mr. Lyman humorously gave a sum-
mary about fifty years ago which still
holds good He said; Our pupils
have gone from one extremity of the
islands to the other (and he might
have added, to foreign lands), occu-
plying positions as clergymen, mis-
sionaries, judges, lawyers, legislators,
school superintendent and teachers,
spectators, clerks, constables, farm
ers, teamsters, loafers and prisoners, -
Very few universities can boast a
better record than this of the Hilo
Boarding School. There may be
more individuals of each class, but
the record is the same, including
"loafers and prisoners"
Thus General Armstrong found no
better model after which to pattern
his great Hampton Institute as q
training school.
Another very influential school was
inaugurated during this second de
cade of missions in the Hawaiian
Islands.
This was the Family School foI
the children of high chiefs. It was
Immediately preceded by a high
chiefs school,
In 1888 the king and chiefs asked
mat Mr.. Richards become their espe
cial teacher, and the mission voted
to approve the choice made by the

king and chiefs and leave it entirely
with Mr.. Richards to accept or re-
ject." In 1889 the mission voted to
approve of Mr.. Richards continuing
to be teacher of the chiefs according
to his engagement with them the past
year"
This arrangement was so beneficial
that in 1889 the chiefs requested a
school for their children, with Mr.. A.
S. Cooke as the teacher.
Buildings were erected and a home
for the young chiefs provided by Mr..
and Mrs. Cooke.
Among these children We're the
kings Lot Kamehameha, Liholiho,
Lunalilo, Kalakaua and Queen Liliu-
okalani, and also Bernice Pauahi
Bishop and Queen Emma Rookie. OF
all these, Queen Liliuokalani is the
only one still in the land of the liv-
ing.
Punahou School was proposed in
1889, but not until July IL, 1912, did
it go into operation.
On October s, 1S4O the Declaration.
of Rights and the first Constitution
were promulgated. On October 10,
1910, school law was passed which
was superseded by the law in the,
blue book" passed March 21, 1S41,
which appointed a superintei lent of
schools all over the Islands, with
school agents for each of the large
islands. In this law there were twenty
sections providing quite fully for
teachers and their support, as we'll as
for schools for pupils and parents.
/ have passed over many points of
interest while giving this condensed
sketch of the first twenty years of
schools and their development in
these islands, but l think that this
glimpse into the past is sufficient to
help us realize a part of the wisdom
and patient perseverance of the
fathers in laying the foundations for
schools as we'll as churches.

Mr. Lyman had two native build

of $160, including cost of seats, desks
and other appurtenances. This
school had to depend upon the man.

tunate in having at it's head a man of

CONTEST HEARING
MAY Be PUBLIC
TAFT WRITES CHAIRMAN NEW
ASKING THAT THE Meeting
BE OPEN.
HE is FOR FULL PUBLICITY
The Previous Request Has Been Re-
ceiyed From Roosevelt and tho
Doors of the Convention May be
Thrown Open to Newspaper Men,

Chicago.-A letter from President
Taft to Chairman Harry S. New OF the
subcommittee on arrangements for
the Republican national convention
suggesting that the meetings OF the
national committees at which contests
are heard, be public, was received at
the national committee headquarters.
The President suggests that Mr..
New take up with the committee the
matter of open hearings and that II
the committee finds it possible the de-
liberations over the contests, 23O OF
which have already been prepared for
submission, be carried on in open ses-
sions.
Chairman New said the suggestion
of the President will have great weight
with the committee. This, taken In
connection with the previous request
of Colonel Roosevelt for publicity OF
the contest arguments, indicates that
the doors will probably be thrown
open, at least to newspaper men, when
the committee takes up delegates con-
tests.
Few members of the national COM
mittee have as yet reached Chicago
and of those here none would make
q prediction as to the action OF the
committee. The Presidents letter
was the chief subject of discussion at
Republican political headquarters and
his declaration for publicity OF the
hearings is declared by his supporters
now here to indicate that the Taft man
ayers believe their contest cases are
strongly prepared.
Taft headquarters were opened by
Joseph B. Healing of Indiana. Up to
a late hour only two Eastern repres'
entatives OF the President had reached
Chicago, John Rayan and A. A. Early
of the publicity committee.

BIG LOSS By FIRE
FLAMES DESTROY THE BUSINESS
SECTION OF THE TOWN OF
BLAcKSBuRG.
LOSS MAY REACH 100000
Eleven Buildings Fell In Path Of the
Destructive Blaze, Including the Iron
City Hotel Buildlng-cause Has Not
Been Accertalned.

Gaffney.-Fire burned the business
section of Blacksburg to the ground,
II stores suffering from the flames
at a loss which totals approximately
100000. While some estimate that
the loss may not exceed $4,000, the
first figure is generally conceded to
be nearer the actual loss.
The fire was discovered in build
ing occupied by the White Front Gro
Gerry on Main street. The alarm was
given, but with absoluately no appara.
tus for fighting fire and strong wind
blowing, the property owners were
helpless and stood by watching the
buildings burn. While the fire was
confined to one side of the street
there was some hope entertained for
saving a part of the business section,
but when the strong wind famed the
flames across and the Iron City hotel
building, the largest building in the
town, was ignited, all hope was given
up.
The fire spread rapidly and in few
minutes the business part of the town
was in ruins, five stores being burned
on one side Of the street and six on
the other. When the walls of the
hotel building collapsed the debris
fell through the roof Of the Bank of
Blacksburg, completely demolishing
the interior of the bank and tearing
down the walls of the building
Much speculation ha sheen engaged
in as to the origin Of the fire. No
plausible theory has yet been ad-
vanced, although rumor has it that 1t
was the work of incendiaries. 1t is
known that threats were made by ne
groes following a lynching which oc-
Cured in Blacksburg in March and
some are said to have stated that
"Blacksburg will soon go up in
smoke"

Charleston.-The 1st regiment, Ma
tional guard of South Carolina, leads

This is the inevitable consideration
of the aggregate scores for the ten
day rifle practice period, which closed
at the local range. The last day at

senting the thirty-six companies OF
the state, were paid off for their
work here, and the large majority
of them returned to their homes.
Not only did the 1st regiment win

tai score, but 1st regiment com
pany won the prize for the best com
pany score; a 1st regiment battalion
won out for the highest battalion
score: a 1st regiment man took OH
the prize for being adjudged the best
shot in the state, among the eligible
contestants; the 1st regiment furnish
ed considerably the largest NUMBER

Politics In Calhoun County.

The political pot is vigorously Doll
ing in Calhoun county, and the pros
pect is that there will be no abate-
ment until the ballot tells the tale
in August. All signs point to the
fact that there will be concerted ac-
ton to measure the candidates by the
gubernatorial yard stick, but 1t Is
hardly probable that the lesser lights
will be drawn into this doubtful mael-
strom. In fact, many have already
stamped their soles heavily to the
ground in disapprobation OF such a
scheme. They argue-and wisely
too that their Offices have nothing 10
do with the race for governor; that
il has no bearing upon their capacity
to perform their duties successfully
and well, and that they do not pro
pose to be dragged into the matter
How this catechism will be hailed by
the aspirants for legislative and sena'
torial honors is problematical.

President Grants Two Pardons.

President Taft pardoned Austin Nc
Kinney, convicted in the district court
at Greenville, OF selling liquor at re-
tail without a special tax, and SEN
fenced to three months in the county
jail, beginning April 10, 1901. When

preston he had been acquitted. The
case was tried again during his alb
sence and after eleven years he learn
ed a bench warrant had been issued

behavior during the past ten years
the president pardoned him. H. T.
Kelly, of Greenville, who pleaded gull
ty of illicit distilling and was SEN
fenced to two months in Jail, had his
sentenced reduced by tho President to
twenty-four hours in jail.
