The scholastic standard was now On a par with -that of any public high school on the mainland, as was evidenced by the fact that Berkeley and Stanford colleges permitted graduates from the Honolulu High School to enter without examinations. In a few years, all colleges which did not require entrance examinations opened their doors to the Honolulu -High School graduates. Up to this time, only a few students of Oriental ancestry attended the school.
