Miss Margaret Chrisiy upper, who
will have charge Of the physical work

on the Honolulan and will begin her
duties at once. Miss Upper comes
here well recommended and prepared
for her work and has already outlined
her plans for. the fall and winter

The registration al Punahou this
year in botn the college and the pre-
paratory school was large The final
figures for the first days enrolment
at both schools nave Just been made
up. Two hundred and three register
ed at the college The figures have
hovered around 200 for the last two
or three years, Int 1t is believed at
the college that this is the biggest
first day number on record. As
there are only 2g9 seats in the as
sembly hall, there is every prospect
of a fun house when the late arrivals
come struggling in. =s -. ~:
{. The first day at the, preparatory
school saw 40S enrolled AS compared
with 367 in 1911, and 1856 in 1910, this
shows an increase which is accounted
for only in part by the new building
and additional teachers.
The music department shows also
a large enrolment. Miss Clarke, Miss
CALDWELL and Mrs. Ewing, in the piano
department, have been busy straight
ening out schedules for the numerous
pupils. Miss Collais, who took some
special courses in voice this summer
at the Coast, has her usual large en-
rollment, which includes many adults.
