Missionary Seminary at Lahainaluna, M aui.— Number of scholars at the commencement of the year, 51 in the first class and 54 in second class. Whole number 105. No new scholars during the year. The health of the scholars has been generally good. Four have died, and the same number have been expelled. The moral condition of the school has been good. Thir­ ty four of the scholars are united with the church. Very little occasion during the year for discipline. Rev. J. S. Emerson entered Upon his new duties as a teacher of the seminary in the month of August. There were two examinations during the year, in Sept. and April* in the following branches; Writing, Music, Arithmetic, (mental and written,) Geography, Trigonometry, Algebra, Natural Theology and Moral Philosophy; and in Aprilj Some of the foregoing with the addition of the use of points, analysis and construction of sentences, Scripture Geogra­ phy, Chronology, Scripture History and Evidences of Christianity. A commencement has been made to instruct a small select class in English. Twenty two have been regularly dismissed. It is expected that a new class of 50 scholars will be ad­ mitted the ensuing year, and that some attention will be di­ rected to the commencement of a Theological class. Female Seminary, W a iluku, Maui.—The health of the scholars has been better than during any previous year. The teaching in the literary department has been per­ formed as usual—two hours a day and four days a week. Although but two hours are employed in teaching books, yet most of the time is employed in training of some sort. At daylight the scholars are summoned to the gardens— at 61/4 o’clock prayers, afterwards breakfast, arranging rooms, and then school. Dinner, recreation, school for spinning, weaving, sewing, knitting, &c., cultivating garden, supper. At evening, “ daily food” with religious instruction, and prayers. In respect to morality, the consciences of the scholars show an increasing activity, though no one gives decided evidence of having been converted during the year. Present number 62. Marriages during the year 5, to graduates of the High School. It is thought proper that the scholars marry before leaving the school. �8 Reports of st a t io n ; ( 1842 . Boarding school fo r Boys, at H ilo, Hawaii.— The health of the scholars has been good. Eleven have been dis­ missed, 14 received. Present number, 66. Three graduates of the high school have been engaged as assistants during the year. One of the scholars has act­ ed for two years as overseer of the boys. Studies the same as in former years, and with like pro­ ficiency. Twenty seven of the boys are church-members, others have been serious, and give evidence of piety. Drs. Lafon and Andrews, having occasion, at different times, to visit Hilo, have rendered valuable assistance in the school. Boarding School fo r Girls at H ilo, H a w a ii—This little domestic school under the care of Mrs. Coan has been in successful operation during most of the year. The pupils have made commendable proficiency in the various branch­ es to which they have attended, and the state and prospects of the school are encouraging. The health ofthe scholars has been good, and no one has died. The number of the scholars is 22, 18 of whom are members o f t h e church. The school has been sustained by the donations ofthe peo­ ple, of friends, and the personal efforts of its patrons. Manual Labor School, W aialua, Oahu.—The number of scholars during most of the year has been 22. These have shared largely in the loss that the station has sustain­ ed in the death of Mrs. Locke, it having been her prac­ tice to devote a large part of her time to them. Mr. Locke has not labored with his scholars as much as usual on account of Mrs. Locke’s sickness and death. The schol­ ars have labored 5 hours daily. Their studies, and their proficiency in them, has been as great, as the scholars in other station schools. The school has so far supported it­ self, and when the outstanding crops shall be gathered in, there will be an overplus sufficient to sustain the current expenses of the school during another ^ear. Chiefs' Children’s School.—This school has prospered as in former years. Not a single case of sickness has occurr­ ed among the scholars during the year now past. Their stud­ ies have all been in the Eng. language. These are Reading, Spelling, Writing, Arithmetic, (mental and written) Geog­ raphy, Grammar, Composition, History, Natural Theolo­ gy, Drawing and Singing. Two of the girls are learning to play on the pianoforte, and make pleasing proficiency. �1843.) REPORTS OF STATIONS. 9 The Government of the school is still paternal. The num­ ber of scholars is 15, 8 girls and 7 boys. The entire ex­ pense is susfained by the King and Chiefs. No one gives decided evidence of piety. The health of Mrs. C. during the year has been feeble. Punahou School, or School fo r Missionaries' Children.— This school, on which so many fond anticipations are founded, and in behalf of which so many prayers have been offered, went into operation July 1 1th. of last year (1842.) Fifteen scholars were present the first day. On the sec­ ond day there was an addition of five, and two more dur­ ing the term, making 22 in all, eight of whom were board­ ers. During the second term which commenced Oct. 11, 8 more were added to the school and four to the family. The first and second terms were each of them twelve weeks long. During the third term, which continued nine weeks, there were fifteen boarders. The studies of the school have been Reading, Spelling, Geography, Arithmetic, History, English Grammar, Latin, Writing, and Drawing. The great object in the school room has been to make schol­ ars, to form in the children habits of patient and vigorous study, to give them that mental discipline which enables its possessor to think of nothing but his book while it is before him. The object is to make them perfect in what they do study, and not to go over a large number of books. Be­ sides the studies of the school room, Miss Smith has had an evening exercise with the boarders in singing, or they have listened to the reading of some interesting and in­ structive work. Religious Instruction. The boarders have attended once on the Sabbath at the Chapel of the Seamen’s Preacher. They also commit a verse of Scrip­ ture daily. The health ofthe scholars has been remarka­ bly good. It is recommended that three additional rooms be built this year. A good library is also much needed; for. as the scholars of the school are now to form their style of thinking and writing, they ought to have access to the best models in the language. The report also speaks of the need of more help. Select Schools. Mr. Johnson’s select school at Waioli, Kauai, has been in operation during the year, and has numbered from 32 to 40 scholars, The interest which they have taken in their �10 RE PO R T S OF S TA TI O N S . (1843. studies has been for the most part good, and their progress commendable. Their studies have been Arithmetic, Geog­ raphy, Child’s Book on the Soul, Elements of Astronomy and Geometry, Reading, Writing, Little Philosopher and Catechism. Some attention has been paid to composition and drawing of Maps They have also done something at manual labor to pay for their books, and to fence and cul­ tivate the school house yard. Select school at Honolulu.— Mr. K napp’s select school of boys is somewhat different from former years, being composed of scholars from different parts of the island, who board with relatives and church members. The ob­ ject ofthe school is to prepare boys for the Mission Semi­ nary. The number ofscholars is 40, and they have generally well attended to their studies. These are Reading, Writing, Geography, Mental and Written Arithmetic, and Elements of Geometry. Mrs. Knapp’s select school of girls has been in operation during the most of the year. The branches taught are Reading, Geography, Arithmetic, “ Child Book on the Soul” and “ Natural Theology.” There have been times of seriousness and concern on the subject of religion, and some give evidence of “ walking in the way of truth.” Select school at Kohala.— This school was commenced 8 months since, has 14 scholars. Its object is to prepare boys for Hilo Boarding school, and to raise up teachers. Mr. Bond has also had a school for teachers two days in each week. School for Teachers at H ilo.— This has been continued through another year, and has embraced lads and young men designing to qualify themselves for teaching. The year has been divided into two terms of six months each. At one term, one set of teachers has attended school, and another taught; and at the next, those having taught, have attended the school, and those having been taught, go out to teach. Forty five attended the first term, and about 80 the second term. Their studies have been Reading, Writing, Geography, Mental and Written Arith­ metic. Station Schools at Hilo. The usual branches have been taught, and by native teachers. Number of scholars 130. Their progress is encouraging. �1843 ) RE PO R T S OF S T A T I O N S . H ana, M aui.— This station school has been interrupted by the ill health of Mr. Rice. First term of 2 months 55 scholars; second, teachers and assistant teachers; third term, a smaller class of select scholars designed for Mis­ sion Seminary. W ailuku.— A station school has been taught here by a graduate from Lahainaluna. No statistics of this, nor of the common schools. Common Schools, of Hilo and P una.— Number of exam­ inations three. The schools are considered as in a flourishing condition, and their examinations now far sur­ pass what they were in former years. Each school has a black board, and in the process of adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing, many of the children perform with great rapidity and correctness. During the year, 42 school houses have been built, and most of them are large and pleasantly situated with verandas and play grounds around them. 123 children have gone off to the Papists. K au.— The schools are in a low condition, some of the children have left to go to the Papists. A school for teachers has been kept up about 8 or 9 months, 4 days in a week, and 3 hours a day. During the year seven school houses have been built by Government, and more are needed. The Sabbath school has been large and interesting at Waiohiriu. Mrs. Paris also has taught a small school of church members. Kealakekua.— There has been a gradual improvement in the schools during the past year; 30 scholars have gone off to the Papists. K a ilu a — Dr. Andrews has been absent most ofthe year. The schools have been much as usual. No statistics. Sabbath school, sustained as usual, though Dr. Andrews has been absent. Several school houses have been built, also one stone school house. W aimea, Hawaii.— The external appearance of the pu­ pils exhibits more of a civilized aspect than formerly. Their manners are also pleasing, as well as their readiness to an­ swer the questions put to them. Mr. Lyons speaks in very commendable terms of their last examination, of the nu­ merous verses of Scripture committed, the stand the children �12 REPORTS GF S T A T I O N S . (1843. bad taken in reference to tobacco and temperance, and finally, of the increase in numbers and in knowledge. Kohala.—24 permanent stone school houses have been commenced, and most ofthem finished and occupied. Teach­ ers rather inefficient. Parents enlisted in the rising genera­ tion. Papists doing what they can to oppose education. Schools most of the year kept in a very good state. The Sabbath school at the station is also interesting. H ana, M aui.— Teachers complain of being poorly paid. This is also the case at many of the stations. Parents un­ willing to do their part in the education of their children. W ailuku.— Much as usual, though no particulars or statistics. The Sabbath school appears very well, both children and adult.

The stone meeting house at Punaluu has been roofed, fenced in, and prepared for meetings. 2 �14 REPORTS OF STATIONS*. ( 1843. Kealakekua.— Five meeting houses have been built by the church members. One of these is laid up with stone and lime; and one with dry stone walls. The other three are grass houses. A few days of Government work were laid out upon them. Waimea.— At several places, the church members have aided in erecting meeting houses, some of which have been furnished, in part, with mats, seats and simple pulpits. The stone house, at the station, has been long in building. Nor is it yet complete. A portion of it has, however, been floored, a pulpit erected, and seats prepared sufficient to render the house convenient and comfortable as a place of worship, The dimensions o f the house are 120 feet by 50 feet. W ailuku.— The roof of the station meeting house, hav­ ing been found to be unsafe, was taken down, and a new safe roof substituted.

M aui.— Romanism has made little progress on this island. M olokai.— Catholics have made some efforts in remote parts of the field, and with some success. Oahu.— Several Catholic priests are on this island. The success of their cause has not been so obvious the past year, as iri some previous years. Progress has been �16 R EP O R TS OF ST AT IO NS . ( 1843. greatest on the back parts of the island. In several dis­ tricts catholics form a considerable proportion of the whole population. Kauai.— In some portion ofthe island the efforts of the Romanists have been almost entirely unsuccessful, whilst at Puna and Koolau the priests have been more success­ ful. The school of children under the care ofthe Catholic Priest, has dwindled from 55 to 20 scholars. On Niihau great efforts have been made in behalf of Catholicism but with little progress.

Salary and Mission Property. 1st. That we consider the salary system as having be­ gun in our mission the first day of April 1842; and that the stipend, then allowed to the several families, be consider­ ed the salary for that year. 2d. That all hinds held by Missionaries in these islands, whether by gill or lease, are to be considered as property of the mission, and not private property. 3d. That members ofthe mission holding books belong­ ing to the Mission Library be allowed to hold them as here* tofore; but if any prefer to purchase those which are in his hands, he be allowed to do so, at what shall be deemed a reasonable price, and that in regard to the books now on the shelves of the Library, the Agents be authorised to sell them on the same principles as they sell goods of the D e­ pository. 4th. Although we consider the salary allowed us by the Board, a bona fide salary, still in our character as Mis­ sionaries we are a peculiar people, having wholly conse­ crated ourselves to the Lord for the spread of the gospel in �1843.) SEMINARIES. 19 the earth, and however it may be proper for other men to engage in speculations and accumulate property, we can­ not consistently with our calling engage in business for the ^purpose of private gain. We therefore deem it inexpedi­ ent that members of our body should possess private herds, and resolve that the mission herds be continued, and that those who are destitute be furnished with a reasonable num­ ber of cattlaout of the herds or the funds of the mission; and that all the cattle, houses and carts held by us, be re­ garded as the property of the A. B C .F . M., and that the herds be not allowed to increase beyond what is needed for the comfort of the mission. And further that these things be used by us according to the principles laid down in our report of 1841, on which the Board have based our salaries 5. That those having horses in'their possession, belong­ ing to the A. Board be allowed to continue to use them as other property of the Board in their possession, subject to the restriction contained in the previous resolution. 6.

In regard to additional help the Committee to whom the subject was referred reported as follows: 1.

The Committee recommend that on the arrival of the expected reinforcement, one of the clergymen be located at Lahainaluna as a teacher in the Seminary, unless an ex­ change shall be made with Mr. Rice, which shall be ac­ quiesced in by those most interested in such an arrangement. 3.

Resolved, That Mr. Knapp, be recommended to occupy the house of Mr. Bingham, until news of his having sailed for these islands shall have arrived; and, that then he be al­ lowed the means from the depository for commencing the building of a house for himself, unless some house at the station shall then be vacated, and appropriated to him. 8.

That the trustees be allowed to admit at there discre­ tion the children of brethren who have been connected with this Mission, und the children of other missionaries. 4. That the brethren of the misssion be invited to con­ tribute for the purpose of procuring a library for the school. 5. That they be requested to furnish specimens in N a ­ tural History for a cabinet. 10. Theological Insh'uciion. On this subject the following repocjt was adopted: 1. That a small class be formed in connection with the Mission Seminary at Lahainaluna of such as have finished there course in the Institution, or other suitable persons who can conveniently be collected there, and that they be �1843.) MO RA L R E F O R M . 25 instructed in Biblical and Theological studies with special reference to their becoming helpers in disseminating the Gospel in these islands. 2. As there are several persons at the different stations who have been very useful as helpers in our work, but ow­ ing to the state of their families and various other causes cannot well be collected at Lahainaluna, we recommend that the brethren of the different islands consult together during the present meeting, and take such measures as they shall think best to qualify these person to be more effi­ cient helpers in propagating the Gospel. 3. That as more books are much needed in this depart­ ment of instruction, we recommend the subject to the spe­ cial attention ofthe Committee on assignment of labors. 11. Moral l i t form. The Committee to whom was referred the overture on Moral Reform reported as follows: That in their opinion, the present time calls for very spe­ cial and efficient measures for the suppression of Licentious­ ness among this people, and especially, among the Youth; and they would recommend as follows; 1. That the pastors of the several churches take special pains to instruct the parents belonging to their respective churches and congregations upon this subject, and urgo them to provide separate apartments for the different sexes in their families; and to watch over their children with more than common solicitude in reference to this crying sin of the land; that pastors also use all feasible means to render the institution of marriage honorable and popular among the people. 2. That the Teachers of our Seminaries and schools form societies among their scholars, similiar to the plan of uJuvenile Temperance Societies,” and make vigorous ef­ forts to render the sin of licentiousness, in all its form s, odious and unpopular. 3. That a pledge be adopted which shall be alike in all the Islands, and that the signers of this pledge be furnish­ ed with some badge of their membership. 3 �26 ASSIGNMENTS. (1843. 12. Assignments.

Resolved, That, as we see no way which is feasible for keeping the school in opeiation during the time which Mr. Locke may be absent, we deem it expedient that the trust­ ees ofthe school be a Committee to confer with Mr. Locke concerning the best disposition ofthe lands attached to his �18 43.) M ISCELLANIES. 27 school during his absence, and that he and they be authoriz­ ed to make such disposal of them, for the time being, as they may deem proper.

Voted, That each of the families, together with the sin­ gle ladies of the mission, be presented with one copy of the Hawaiian History ; and that each family be allowed to purr chase, at cost, one copy, if desired; but that for all beyond this, the ordinary retail price will be required.
