Honolulu, II H., sept. cI1, 1918.
To the President and Members of the
Honolulu I'D Club.
Gentlemen;
Your committee appointed to visit
and look into the best methods OF adj
yertising our College 1.-THE College Of
HawaiiD in view OF helping build up
the same, respectfully report as fol
lows:
Your committee visited the college
on several occasions and was met by
the faculty, who showed us great cour-
tesy and supplied us with great deal
of information which enabled Us to
come % the following conclusions:
As good roads seem 70 be the key
note to the present political campaign
We would urge upon the powers that
be that immediate steps be taken to
improve the various approaches lead
ing 20 the college and its property
Your committee, at the time Of its
visits TO the college, were astounded
to find the deplorable conditions of
the roads leading to this seat of learn
ing. IL seems to your committee that
this condition is responsible for the
vast amount OF ignorance concerning
this institution by the general public.
II the roads were made easy and the
general approaches attractive, the pub.
lie would soon become interested in
the college work and then would be in
directly beneflted by the general
knowledge distributed through its va
rious departments. The grounds Of
the college and its splendid building
have great promises for the future.
The location and quality OF the land
under the able management of the
agriculturist would warrant expendi-
lures which would in the very near fti-
ture place this department on a self
sustaining basis. This department has
already spent large sums OF money In
procuring the very best bred strains
of cattle, hogs and poultry, and from
these returns have paid for labor en-
ployed In taking care of the dairy Sec
ton and the various fields under cult.
walton. From figures obtained from
the experiments of alfalfa culture as
well as those from corn culture, there
could be great benefits derived by the
farming community II this practical
knowledge could be disseminated
among them. This has all been accom-
piished with the crudest equipments
and we are given to understand that
with more modern equipment greater
profits, better results and large areas
under cultivation would be made POS
sible. The general housing of the va
rious branches is exceedingly poor and

cost of two thousand dollars ($2000.00),

engaged in the various branches OF
this science. as well as the future pos

Agricultural department, We found the
engineering department In excellent
shape. A great deal OF practical work
is carried on In this section and
great deal OF work on the College
grounds has been done by it The ex.
amnles Of students work, including
drafting, surveying. testing various
metals, etc, reflect great credit on
those in charge of the department; Il
demonstrates real, practical work
which no doubt the public would great
" appreciate II they could become bet
ter acquainted with the college. The
various departments Of science and
literary studies appear to your com
mittee to be doing all that can be ek-
pected or them under existing condi-
tiosn. The college is as yet in its IN
fancy, and the lack Of students Is its
most apparent drawback. The college
offers as good training as e possible
IN most places on the mainland ana
your committee would urge that our
citizens show that LOYALTY which the
college deserves and instead Of send
ine their children away from home,
would do well TO consider the advarl-
taees offered by our own college. there
by not only helping themselves but
