The College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts, established 
by the Territory of Hawaii and subject to the endowment of 
the Federal Government, affords a substantial education to 
both young men and women. 
In September this institution will present courses in Agri- 
culture, Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical 
Engineering and Domestic Science, which lead to the degree 
of Bachelor of Science. 
Special courses, not leading to a degree, can be arranged for. 
Instruction will be given by the use of text-books, by lec- 
tures and recitations ; also by practice in field, laboratory and 
drawing room. Throughout the courses theory and practice 
go hand in hand.

THE POULTRY INDUSTRY. 
The workers engaged in the rapidly expanding poultry in- 
dustry of Hawaii are materially contributing to the industrial 
development of the islands. Together with the promoters of 
other and often more conspicuous agricultural enterprises, the 
breeders of poultry are assisting in making the Territory in- 
dependent of the products of other countries. The growing 
popularity of chicken breeding, and the great interest which 
is being shown in the industry, are some of the minor but none 
the less important evidences of the progress which is taking 
place in the extension of our diversified industries. 
JAPAN AND CAMPHOR. 
That the Japanese are bestirring themselves to maintain 
their position in controlling the camphor industry is evidenced 
by a recent speech of the Minister of Finance which is referred 
to in another part of this issue. The extraordinary manner in 
which the uses for this valuable product have increased in re- 
cent years is only commensurate with the expansion of the 
application of rubber in the arts and manufactures. Many 
countries are looking to the production of camphor as a profit- 
able source of investment, and the suitability of these islands 
to the growth of the tree renders it advisable to experiment in 
this direction upon land which is not favorable for the planting 
of established island crops.
