from Kaiulani is being sent To Cen
trail Grammar.
The school for detectives, which Is a
part of Kaiulani school, has II stu
dents enrolled, one more than last
year. Whether this number will be
increased is not known now.
Two hundred new students applied
at the Mckinley high school this
morning for admission to the fresh
man class. Aside from tie new stu
dents, 24U former students enrolled
today, making present enrolment OF
40. Mckinley has Is teachers. Dur
ing the summer a new fiyeroom
school building was erected in the
school yard TO relieve congestion in
the main structure. Prof. Marion NJ.

present enrolment.

unusually large enrolment. In the
school proper the enrolment is as fol-
lows: Senior, 60; junior. 40: sophie
more, 60; freshman, 1870. In the train
ing department the enrolment is
about 400.
Students had been registering at the
Royal school since June % and conse-
Ouently. when school opened this
morning all new applicants were re-
fused, the overflow being sent to Cen
tral Grammar. One hundred new stu
dents have been taken into the first
grade and enough in the upper grades
to fill the spare seats. This year the
enrolment at the Royal school will be
approximately 100.
In all of the orner local public
schools there will probably be an in
crease in the enroIlments. The fact
that many new buildings were erected
during the summer will tend to re-
lieve the congestion.

doors this morning, President A. l..
Dean saying that the enrolment this
year undoubtedly will be very large.
The freshman class will contain about
Is or 90 students, the new students
coming largely from Punahou, Nc

1876 students are registered in the

building is situated belonged to the
government and. during the Republic,
was given to the United Chinese So
ciety for use as a hospital. But there
was a stipulation to the effect that,
whenever the society ceased to use
the place for hospital purposes the
land should revert to the government.
The department claims that the
place has not been used as a hospital
for more than three years. About
three years, ago the county rented the
building for school purposes al a
monthly rental of about $50. Later the
stipulation regarding the reversion OF
the land came to light and the county
declined TO pay any more rent
This was followed by a suit by the
territory to eject the United Chinese
Society from the land, the suit still
pending in court Deputy Attorney
General Heen informs the StarBulle-
tin that an agreement has been reach
ed whereby the department may use
the building for school purposes until
the termination of the action for
ejectment.
The whole question is, who really
owns the Iand?" says Superintendent
Kinney.
