tend to make good and industrious
men and women, and desire instruc-

for boys was organized and the school
for girls was formally opened Decem-
Der 18th, 1894.
The schools are located on portion
CT the founders estate about two
miles from the business part of Homo
lulu. An elevation of seventy-five feet
gives a comprehensive view of the
city. the harhor, and the ocean be-
yond. The view to the east and west
IS broken by two craters, Diamond
Head and Punchbowl, and the two
mountain ranges of the island. The
campus, comprising about one hum
dred acres, is sufficiently sIoped to
give perfect drainage, and the air and
sunshine are as fine as the islands af-
ford. The general management and
control of the schools is vested in the
trustees, appointed for life under the
will of Bernice Pauahi Bishop. Va

isdicti0n in the territory. The presi-
