I am not able to say whether the city of Philadelphia maintains a vessel similar to ours or not. A letter to the Clerk of the Board of Education in that city would probably obtain the information you desire.

Respectfully,
Arthur McMullin, Clerk.

Dear Editor:

My sister takes The Great Round World, and I read it and like it very much. In—I have forgotten the number of the paper—you said that the Queen of the Hawaiian Islands people did not like her rule. Well, one of my friends went there some years ago, and when he was there they loved her just as much as anybody. Will you please explain this? It was the people who ruled for her that they did not like.

Good-by. I live at Willowbrook, Auburn, N.Y.

George W.M.
P.S.—I am nine and a half years old.

Dear George:

It is said that the Queen of the Hawaiian Islands allowed herself to be influenced by bad advisers, and after a while ruled her people so badly, that they ceased to love her.

Editor.
