after 1890 this afternoon. With the

machine made a graceful swing from
the navy dock and headed out of the
harbor Passing Fort Armstrong the
full marine garrison of Camp Very

the distinguished visitors away from
Honolulu. Today's ceremony marked
the fourth time within six weeks that
the city has welcomed the coming or
speeded the parting of cabinet min

The two secretaries were accorded
the full ceremonials and honOrs due
their rank, and official Honolulu turn

Increase in Pupils and Lack Of
Room Gives Rise to
Complaints

Owing to the increased number OF
pupils in the public schools of Homo
lulu this year, especially in the pri-
mary grades, seme throuble is being
had by the Board of Education in ac-
commodating the new pupils. A few
complaints have been made to Super
intendent Pope by parents whose chill
.dren go to school for part OF the
day, but most complaints come from
parents who are not able to get their
children in school at all Il seems
that the younger children have to be
left at home while the parents go to-
work, as there is room in the schools
for these children for only part OF the
day. When their time comes to go
to school, shortly after noon, the 9TH
er children in the family are through
for the day and have to come home
to be left to their own deEices while
the younger ones are in school
According to School Inspector Glib

school buildings, and as these have
