So Says a Planter of Young Hawaiian
Students.
A systematic attempt is being made
by the faculty of the Kamehameha
School for Boys to secure positions
for the young men who graduate from
that institution.
Letters were sent to all the plantation
managers and other employers of
labor in the islands, giving the names
and qualifications of the applicants.
Principal Richards is exceedingly
gratified to see the interest that is
manifested in the young Hawaiians.
He has received over twenty replies
and has secured satisfactory positions
for three candidates.
From these letters it is found that
under ordinary circumstances there
are always places for good native lads
on the plantations. One of the planters
writes Mr. Richards as follows:
"I am not opposed to employ Hawaiians,
in fact, prefer them as common
laborers, as overseers, as mechanics—to
any other nationality."
