TEACHERS Will
ATTEND SESSIONS
SATURDAY A. N.

The College of Hawaii began its
eighth year last Tuesday with encour-
aging attendance Of new students in
the regular class work For the first
time students we're enrolled from the
Hilo high school and the Honolulu
School for Boys. One freshman also
registered from preparatory school
in Hcngkong. Some of the freshman
subjects, for example the courses in
English and chemistry, have a larger
attendance than ever before in the
history of the college. -.
Joseph F. Rock, whose work on
Hawaiian plants is so well known.
has returned to the college after a
year spent in travel and study. He
has been able to examine the collec-
ton of Hawaiian plants in the large
collections in Europe and secure many
duplicates of types from European
herbaria. This work has added very
substantially to the knowledge of the
native flora of Hawaii and made possi-
BILE satisfactory clearing up of the
confusion which has existed hereto
fore regarding many plants native to
these islands.
Because of her health, Miss Lee has
been obliged to give up the instrue-
ton in domestic science for the pres
ent college year, and her place is be-
Ing filled by Miss Louise Person.
In addition to the regular classes,
special classes have been arranged
for extension students in cooking,
sewing and the principles of design.
I is probable that special class in
English may be arranged at a little |
ater date. A series of Saturday
morning classes in science and psy-
shology designed primarily for teach |
srs is being arranged. ."->~.. !.

on the appeal for executive clemency
of Frank NJ. Ryan, former president of

While no official announcement OF

close to the president that his recon-

took the ground that the men had
been given a thorough trial and there
was no good reason for interference
by the president 1t was resarded as
probable that the president would ap-
prove the findings Of the attorney
