HONOLULU. HAWAII N PRESENTING "Men of Hawaii" to the public a public considerably wider than the bounds of - - the Territory its editors and publishers have a two- fold purpose. First, the book is a standard reference work, compre- hensive, complete and authoritative. It is a publication compiled with a care and a system of collecting information which in- sures its accuracy and insures also that justice is done to its subject. It is a reference volume presenting biographically pertinent facts about the men of Hawaii who lead in their respective fields. In general these fields are the business or commercial, the professional, the educational, the religious and the scientific covering all activities which in Hawaii have brought its men to the front as potent and constructive factors in their communities. Secondly, the book is a series of milestones of achieve- ments. It has been truly said that the progress of any gener- ation, of any century, of any country, of any nation may be measured by the biographies of its men. In Hawaii this is true today as in ancient Greece, medieval Rome, modern France, or England, or the mainland United States. Hawaii is a modern American community with its roots far back in the past. Here the primitive life of Polynesia has been moulded and modified by the influx of many races, bloods and languages.

  • KES Newsletter July 2019
    King Edward VII School w: kes.sheffield.sch.uk e: [email protected] facebook.com/KESSheffield twitter.com/KESSheffield NEWSLETTER July 2019 Welcome to the third School newsletter of 2018-2019. King Edward VII School has had a remarkable year and as the summer term draws to a close there is one further opportunity to capture, share and celebrate the many successes of the School with you. The articles and images not only reflect the astonishing array of activities and experiences that students and staff have had since the previous newsletter was published in May, they demonstrate and reinforce, unequivocally, the School’s vision, ethos, principles and practice, including the importance of success for all. A number of themes permeate this newsletter, including transition from Year 6 to Year 7, from Year 9 to Year 10 and a move to the Grade II* Listed Upper School building and Year 11 students progressing to Post 16 provision. The importance of employability skills is another theme, alongside the essential role the School must play in equipping all our students for the world of work in the future. The School places exceptionally high value on the significant role the art subjects play in the holistic development of our students. With this in mind, an extended article has been produced by Mr Stephen Carley, teacher of Art and independent artist, to share some of the astounding work that is taking place in the Art and Photography Department. His article should provoke deeper thought about the place of art in our lives. I hope you enjoy reading about our Young Old Edwardians and their amazing achievements! If you have an article that would be of interest to our School community, please email it to [email protected] for consideration.
