Mr. Pope gave a brief statement Of
the need for teachers. He spoke of
the great demand there is from all the
islands for graduates of the Normal
School and how. notwithstanding the
large number graduated each year, 1t
is necessary to send to the mainland
| for more.
| Mr.. Wood before beginning his ad-
dress stated some interesting facts
concerning the history Of the Normal
School. Reports from the Supervising
Principals to the Department con-
corning the work of those who have
attended the school have been most
encouraging. Then he spoke to the
class of the real reason we attend
school. to learn, to behave, to receive
a training which will enable us to
meet all conditions with the necessary
mental and moral equipment. He
closed with some valuable informa-
ton on dealing with the child. In or
der to get the best from him.
DIR. Scudder Talks.
| DR.. Doremus Scudder gave an excel
lent and inspiring talk on the cultural
effec,s Of the proper use Of the Eng
lish language. warning the class
against the slovenliness of slang and
all incorrect forms of speech.
A prize was awarded by the Conver-
sation Club to a member of the Junior
Class. John Teixera, for doing the best
bandaging In a recent competition In
the class under the direction of a
nurse from Palama.
A particular feature of the evening
| was the excellent chorus work done
! by the school under the leadership OF
Miss. Jane Whine, supervisor of mu-
sic. A chorus of 100 voices opened
the exercises with difficult selection
well rendered both as to tone quality
and interprt tation. The girls glee
club gave It's two selections with much
finish and double sextet OF girls
! sang Macdowells Summer Wind"
with far more intelligence than Is us
ually heard from school chorus.
A great deal of credit is due Miss
Whine for the remarkable success In
, her years work In the Normal School.
She will be much missed next year
when she transfers all her ef'
forts to the grades of the public
schools.
