Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Report Upon the Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute, Made to Hon. W. H. Ruffner, Superintendent of Public Instruction of the State of Virginia
Lahaina luna has always been a manual labor school. This arose partly from necessity, but a second reason was that all our plans for elevating this people were so laid from the beginning as not only to give them learning, but also intelligent appreciation of their duties as men and citizens, and to prepare them in every way for a higher civilization. Experience, in one case at least, has shown this to be the method both of reason and of nature. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
