Columbus Day, the first flay was raised over the Kauai High and Grammar School. The exercises in connection with the event were at tended bv a representative gather ing ol Kauai people, many ot whom had not visited the building since the davs of courts and juries. Kveryone expressed surprise that the building had been so well ar ranged to meet its new duties, and I seemed pleased with the interest jand spirit shown by thepu- ilsdur I ing the program. Less than a year ago the estab lishment of the High School was a debatable question. Act 160, j"To Kstablish the Kauai High School-', was approved by Govern or Prear on the 30th. day of April, 1913, but the selection of a site and the possibility of failure caus ed considerable discussion many j doubted and some even opposed the subject. j However, the High School sup-J porters persisted in their efforts and in Mav, 1914, Mr. Kinney, the newlv appointed Superintendent of Public Insttuction. met with the people of Kauai to consider the matter. A plan was finally agreed upon and a site elected. The Li hue Select School was to combine with the High School under the name "Kauai High and Grammar School," and the community was to pay the salary of one teacher. The old court house, with its spa cious and well-kept Grounds, was selected as the site for the new school. After this, there followed a period of uncertainty as to how many pupils would attend the school. No one seemed willing to state definitely their plans for their children. The most optimistic man in the Island thought there might be foitv if a dormitory were pro vided, but no one believed him and he doubted it himself. The school opened on the 14th of September with a principal and two assistants on the teaching staff. Thirty-one pupils were enrolled the first clay. The work was soon organized and the students enter ed into the various activities with spirit and enthusiani. With a small number to choose from thev developed a baseball team which has won consistently from other teams, and which would rank well with the teams of larger schools on the other islands. They have also maintained a high standard of scholarship and have shown an admirable spirit in promoting the interests and welfare of th" school. Seven pupils have entered since the opening day, which makes the total enrollment 38. The Depart ment of Public Instruction is plan ning increased" equipment for the school. New buildings and more teachers will be added during the coining two years provided the growth of the school is in accord with present prospects. Next fall typewriters will be installed for the High School business course, and laboratory equipment for the sciences in college preparatory and general courses. There is, however, one great question to be settled, and that is in regard to caring for students from other parts of the Island. Do You Want The Right Thing At the Right Price Right Away?

A New and Complete Stock of Toys McBryde Sugar Co's Store There are young people who would like to attend the school, and whose parents would like to have them remain on this Island, but until a building is provided for a dormi tory and boarding club for stud ents this need cannot be met. One family has very generously opened its doors to two boys for the past two or three months. One or two others have found places to board. We need, however, at the present time a place where boys can se cure board at a reasonable price, and be within walking distance of the school. A vear ago things seemed too uncertain to .warrant action, but we believe there is a real need right now, and that this need will be even greater when school begins again in September. We believe that the High School can do thorough and efficient w rk, and we want as many as possible to share in its advantages. The support it has received thus far has exceeded expectations, and the prospects for a steady and healthy growth are bright. Con tinued loyalty and co operation will solve the problems that con front us, and establish the High School as one of our nios-t useful and successful institutions.
