Boarding Schools for Girls.

East Maui Female Seminary.

Number of pupils, 51.

This institution maintains the efficiency of its educational advantages. The domestic training of the girls is excellent, and their school room education is unsurpassed by any institution in the land. It is to be regretted, however, that the parents of some of the pupils do not pay their school bills more promptly.

Those parents and guardians who send their girls to the family boarding schools, and pay $50 or less per annum for board and tuition, should bear in mind that they do not pay the whole cost thereof. The capitation fees from the Board of Education, contributions from benevolent societies and individuals, gratuitous services of some of the teachers, and others, free rent, etc., make up the large deficiency.. The interests of the schools and the cause of education call for more strictness in collecting the bills for board and tuition. The natural inclination is to undervalue those good things which are received without effort or cost.
