Pacific Commercial Advertiser (Honolulu): July 15, 1876
The examination of the Waialua Female Seminary took place July 6th. The church was beautifully decorated for the occasion. The walls were hung within paintings, drawings and appropriate mottoes, the work of the scholars.
The exercises commenced promptly at nine, and the opening chorus was one worth listening to. The salutatory delivered in both English and Hawaiian was worthy of the occasion. The whole examination was pleasantly interspersed with songs, recitations and compositions; most of the latter were read both in English and Hawaiian.
All the classes did well, but we especially enjoyed the arithmetic classes taught by Miss Green and the recitations of Miss Lyndgate’s classes in Physiology, Natural History, Astronomy and Philosophy. The little ones of the school really surprised us; they are hardly more than infants and yet they read and spell nicely. The examination was very long and thorough, and reflected great credit upon both teachers and scholars.
The exhibition, which occupied three hours, was one of the best we have ever attended. All the songs were well selected and well sung. The organ was played by the girls. The gymnastics, led by one of the older scholars, were a success. The school is one of the largest boarding schools on the Islands, numbering between 70 and 80. The girls all seem happy and contented, and to be much attached to the principal, Miss Green. The school buildings are in a fine condition, and the yard is looking better than we have ever seen it. One feature of this examination pleased us exceedingly, -the fact that many of the advanced scholars taught the classes.
