head of it to secure additional build
ings and instructors
The story of how Doctor Rhee
launched this new movement is inter-
esting and shows that from all stand
points he has the welfare of his peo-
pie at heart. This summer, during
the vacation months, he had occasion
to visit the other islands in order to
famiiiarize himself with the mission
work that is now in progress there.
His visits led him mainly to those
places populated by the Koreans and,
upon the investigation of several of
the camps. he was surprised to find
that there were number OF young
girls who were either not attending
school or who stood likely to be TAX
en- from school BY their parents and
forced to become married, against
their wishes, according to the Korean.
custom which, says Doctor Rhee, is
fast dying ont Inquiries made into
the homes Of these girls brought out
the fact that il was their desire to Sc
cure an education; to learn English
and also become more proficient in
their native tongue Doctor Rhee i'm
mediately saw a way m which these
girls might be brought to Honolulu
TO secure this desired education, and
the parents and the girls consented to
this, provided that the Korean Board
ing School would be the institution
which they would attend.
1t was the Intention of those in
Charge Of the school to secure room
and board for the IA girls at the SUI
sauna Wesley home on King street.
and have them attend school at the
Korean compound or the Korean
boarding school. The set rules Of the
Wesley home, however, say that all
girls living there must attend school
at the public. institutions and not at
these which are private organizations.
This put a stop to the movement for
time, until AFTER a lengthy discus
SION by the regents of the Korean
school it was decided to secure a
building on Punehb0wl street, place it
in charge CT q competent Tl1atron and
use il as q dcr1nitcry fer the girls:
this was done and the plans for the
co-educatienal sckool now stand COM
plete The stTictest rules govern the
project and everything is done for the
moral, spiritual and educational vel
fare of the girls. They go, to their
studies in the sniorning I'M company
with the matrGn or one of the women
teachers, returning to their home in
the afternoon The dormitory now
houses IA girls and from all indica-
tons the plan will prove successful.
II 1t does, arrangements will be made
for larger place to accommodate
more girls who wish to better their
eoueation. " - -.
The Korean boarding school is fill
ing a vital need in the community
and now that Korean students of both
sexes may secure an education there
at a remarkably low tuition, it has
practically doubled its scope OF work.
It may be said here that the girls
dcrmitcry IS not as yet completely
presenting an opportunity
for any persons OF philanthropic ma
ture to assist in making complete an
institution which has not only proved
to be of value, but which is constantly
becoming more valuable.
