SUGAR PLANTATIONS. 

 The sugar of the Makawao plantations is very supe-

 districts, where rain is not so regular throughout the

 the cool climate is not as rapid as elsewhere. There are 

 now four plantations ; the Haiku, the Hamakua, the 

 Grove Ranch and East Maui, the combined product of 

 which is about twenty-two hundred tons annually. 



SEMINARIES. 



Here are located two educational institutions, which 

 reflect credit on the residents of Makawao. The Fe- 

 male Boarding School, under the care of Miss Carpen- 

 ter and Miss Mary Parker, has thirty-four pupils, who 

 are taught in English and trained to domestic work. A 

 Military Boarding School is also located here, which is 

 under the charge of Prof. P. L. Clarke. It has fifty to 

 sixty boys, who are given a thorough academical edu-

 struction. This institution is under the care of the 

 Board of Education, which aids in its support.
