The first fourth of the Kamehameha Girls’ School will open on
For applications to enroll in this school, you can write to Miss Pope at Kamehameha School, or to Miss Pope in the Kindergarten Room at Emma Hale, on Saturday mornings from 9 to 12, where she will be happy to meet with the applicants. The tuition is fifty dollars a year. No applicant below 12 years old will be accepted.

Hopefully new and clear images of these newspapers will be taken soon, before they fall apart. After they fall apart, it will be too late. Does anyone know of an organization/organizations that would appreciate the value of the information held in each fragile page, that would consider funding the re-shooting of the newspapers?]
