There were ptesenl forty teachers and nine visitors. Prayer by Kev. U. K. Babtiste nnd a chorus by Hilo Union School pupils directed by Mr. C. O. Smith ! opened the meeting. The roll call was responded to by , quotations from Longfellow after I which the minutes of the last meet ing were read and adopted. I Miss Lilinoe Hapai had n class of I first year children from her school I at Waiakea witli whom she illus i tratcd her method of teaching number to 'ten' by using the "gtotip" as a unit. Objects were grouped, sometimes by Miss Hapai and sometimes by the class while the little ones told whnt thevsawor what was done, as "I saw three 2s of shells," "you have four 6s of stones," "two 5s of seeds nnd five 5s of seeds are seven 5s of seeds," "you took away two 9s because there are only four 9s now and there were six 9s at first, "three times two 7s are six 7s," etc. etc. The lesson was much discussed. It teaches children to recognize a number in the group without count from "one." When asked how much nine and eight are children often begin to count from one in stead of counting from nine eight 1 more. It prepares for better work 11 multiplication, division and the ; addition of long columns. It helps , also the language. The child not knowing more than ten can handle any number ol objects to 100 by grouping them as nine Ss etc. After recess Win.

Owing to the nature of the trouble and their patient's 75 years, the physicians are very much worried over his condition. Mr. Spreckels recently returned from the East and Europe and his family and friends were much rejoiced over his ap pearance of good health. The two strokes of paralysis have therefore come as a great shock to them. Mr. Spreckels has always been of a robust physique, which, together with abstemious living, may have the effect of aiding in his recovery. It is generally known in banking circles that Mr. Spreckels always keeps on hand more cash than any other capitalist on the coast. Bank ers always consider him the wealth-' iest man on the Pacific Coast, with : H. E. Huntington n close second., Much of his wealth is in San Fran- cisco realty and building improve-' ments. Since 1895 he is credited with investing in real estate and building- about $6,000,000. In bis ' recent gas and electric light deal he ' got $6,400,000. , The story ol his life is a familiar one. He is a German by birth, and in the early days was the keeper of a grocery store in San Francisco. He was also interested in a brewery. His first big start was in the manu facture of sugar, particularly in the , handling of the Hawaiian article. As his business grew and he ac cumulated wealth, the sugar trust tried to dictate to him and finally fought him. 1 He fought back by going into , the heart of the- enemy's country and building an immense plant in 1 Philadelphia.
