There are a number of outhouses, such as hospital, cooking shed, bathing shed, etc. The school has also, in addition to these grounds, about twenty acres on another street, which is planted with kalo. The Oahu prison is on the west side of the town, and right at the mouth of the Nuuanu Valley. It is modelled after the Charlestown prison, and thus far has proved large enough to contain the criminals of the country. All prisoners who are sentenced for over three months are sent there. It accommodates one hundred and seventy, and the usual number of inmates average about one hun- dred and fifty. Detached from this buildtng is a small, but neat and airy hospital, which contains twelve beds. A physician visits this institution daily, and although there have been epidemics of measles and mumps no deaths have occurred. As one looks seaward from the prison, one can see the Quarantine Station, which is erected upon a reef. It is well equipped with a modern hot air and steam disin- fecting plant of large capacity, so that quarantine matters are handled intelligently and efficiently, and the introduc- tion of disease by foreign steamers is of rare occurrence. The most important schools in Honolulu are the Oahu College, Iolani College, which is also called Bishop’s College School, St. Andrews’ Priory, Sisters of the Sa- cred Heart School, Kanaiahao Female Seminary, Royal School, Pohukaina Girls’ School, Kindergarten on the Froebel system, and many small schools. : — cComicbooks 5 mF id 7 : ; vt nai SP: ’ : .t ; * - 4 ,F- YY ‘ Pad
