TRIBUTE IS PAID

the work of the late Father Damien,
at the Molokai leper settlement,
through letteffto Father Francis, a
priest residing in Syracuse. New
York. Father Francis visited with
Brother Dutton short time ago and
on his return home wrote in praise
of the work done at the leper settle

reply to this letter, Brother Dutton
not only dealt with the success Of the
work which is now being carried on
at the settlement, but of the great
amount of work accomplished by
Father Damien. &.
The letter is, in part, as follows: !.

Industrial School, Who are admitted to
the Queens Hospital.
Wayson maintains that patients COM
ing from the Girls Industrial School
are charges of the territory and that
therefore the territory should pay their
expenses at the hospital.
The superintendent of the girls
school, Miss Sadie c.. Sterritt, main
tains, on the other ftand, that girls
coming from the city and county of
Honolulu should receive medical at
tention at the expense of the city ard
county Miss Sterritt declares that the
fact that the girls school assumes re-
sporsibility for the moral welfare Of
city. and county charges should not
force the institution to look after their
physical welI-being as well. There is
no fund available, according to Miss
Sterritt, upon which the girls school is
able to draw for expenses incurred by
the girls at the Queens Hospital.
