Pohukaina Girls' School.

(Formerly the Mililani School.)

Number of pupils, 75.

This school was reported in 1872 as being in a languishing condition, the number of pupils at that time being only 38. I am happy to report a different state of affairs at the present page 10 time. The number of pupils has doubled, and the school is in a very prosperous condition, owing to the indefatigable efforts of the principal, ably seconded by her assistant. In January last the Board of Education exchanged with the Minister of the Interior its right and title to the school premises at Mililani for a retired and very desirable locality on Punchbowl street, called Pohukaina. To this spot was conveyed the upper wooden story of the Mililani school house, formerly known as the old Charity school house. This has been put in thorough order, and a fine commodious building also erected on the new premises. The two buildings will afford accommodation for one hundred or more pupils, and the total cost for the transfer of the school to its present site has been $4,438 54.
