The Pamphlet Collection of Sir Robert Stout: Volume 26

Waialua Female Seminary

Waialua Female Seminary.

Miss M. Green Principal.
Miss Pogue Assistant.

Number of pupils, 31.

Amount of aid granted $1,767 50

This Seminary has had many obstacles to contend against during the past year. Its moral health has suffered, and twelve of the older pupils have been expelled on account of gross insubordination. The trustees may be carrying on the school with too small a teaching force to maintain an efficient discipline, and the boarding fee charged is too small to give a satisfactory bill of fare and pay the current expenses of the establishment. Instead of $30 per annum, the charge should be at least $40, and $50 would not be too much.

The principal and her assistant are laborious, conscientious teachers, and at the present time, the Seminary appears to be gaining a more healthy tone. The pupils remaining in it are, for the most part, very young, ranging from three to sixteen or seventeen years of age.
