fore that such a place as grand asHawaii existed. I was ablethrough the kindness of the Jap-anese Consul-Gener- al to see agood deal of this island yesterdayduring my brief visit, and I cantruthfully say that I was morethan pleased to see a place whereagriculture was one of the firstthings considered.

"I think that Hawaii has agreat future, and my advice is tostick to the products that can beraised from the soil instead of go-ing for stocks and bonds as theydo on the mainland. I don't meannot to go in for safe and soundinvestments, but I do mean notto depend entirely on stocks fora means of making money.

"Regarding the question of thechances of going to war with mycountry, I can honestly say thatJapan has nothing but the kind-est and most friendly feelings to-

ward the United States. The yel-low journals in Japan and Amer-ica are always trying to start awar with the United tSates, butas far as I know that will besomething that will never hap-pen.

"Japan has always regardedthe United States as a true friendand I hope to live to see the daythat we will be drawn togetherby a treaty such as exists betweenJapan and Great Britain.

"Japan's activities with herarmy and navy are nothing outof the ordinary as far as I cansee, and the fact that we arebuilding new ships and increasingour army is nothing significant.Japan is a true friend of theUnited States."

THE BOY SCOUTS.

Everybody should welcomeand encourage the Boy Scoutsmovement in Hawaii. It has somany angles of contact with boynature that it would be hard toimagine a properly constitutedlad to which one or more of itsfunctions' should not appeal. Itscode of honor will be eagerlygrasped by all naturally manlylittle men, and will in due timegrasp those who by heredity orunfavorable environment frombirth may be growing up incoarse habits. The obligation todo useful things, in ways of oc-

cupation and in helpfulness toothers, .will tend to the building

THE HONOLULU TIMES

up of solid civic virtue in the em-by- ro

citizen. Thrift will be prac-tically taught through the rulethat every scout must be a sav-ings bank depositor. If there bea germi of scientific genius in theboy, the nature study, as well asthe utilities prescribed, will tendto develop it into something ofreal account to the boy's life andto the world. The military fea-tures are not intended to makerecruits for the army and navy,although incidentally they mayresult in the discovery of militarygenius, but to develop soldierlybearing and carriage in the futureman, teach him obedience to au-

thority and the advantages of dis-cipline, and, in all ways, makehim fit to command or qualifiedto serve according to circum-stances in which he may be call-ed on to do either in mature life.

Boys are bound to be active inone way or other. If their effer-vescent natures are not mouldedinto good tendencies and theirenergies directed into channels ofusefulness and honor, they areliable to drift or be driven intocourses leading away from thegoal of good citizenship if noteven ending in submergenceamong the pests of society. TheBoy Scout movement is distinct-ly opposed to the growth of thehoodlum element. It is positive-ly and at all points favorable tothe development of manhood inthe fullest and best significanceof the word among the risingmale generation. Therefore itshould be welcomed and encour-aged in Hawaii. With the pictur-esque mixture of races in theseIslands, the outcome of the move-ment here will have world-wid- e

interest. It may be hoped to be-

come not the least potent factorin the consummation of PresidentMcKinley's desire for Hawaiithat it should be developed"along American lines."

Before he become a scout a boymust take the scout's oath, thus:I give my word of honor that I

will do my bestTo do my duty to God and the

country.To help other people at all times.To obey the Scout Law.

1. A Scout's Honor is to betrusted.

If a scout were to break hishonor by telling a lie, or by notcarrying out an order exactly

when trusted on his honor to doso, he may be directed to handover his scout badge, and neverto wear it again. He may also bedirected to cease to be a scout.

2. A Scout is loyal to the Pres-ident, and to his officers, and tohis parents, his country, and hisemployers.

3. A Scout's Duty is to be use-ful and to help others. And he isto do his duty before anythingelse, even though he gives up hisown pleasure, or comfort, or safe-ty to do it. And he must try hisbest to do a good turn to some-body every day.

4. A Scout is a Friend to all,and a Brother to Every other

""Scout, no matter to what socialclass the other belongs.

5. A Scout is courteous. Andhe must not take any reward forbeing helpful or courteous.

6. A Scout is a friend to ani-mals.

7. A Scout obeys orders of pa-

rents, patrol leader, or scoutmas-ter without question.

8. A Scout is thrifty that is,he saves every penny he can, andputs it in the bank, so that hemay have money to keep himselfwhen out of work, and thus notmake himself a burden to others ;

o rthat he may have money togive to others when they need it.

At a meeting of the Boys'Work Committee of the Y. M.C. A., held at four o'clock yester-day afternoon, the first business-like steps were taken for the or-

ganization of the Boys' Scoutmovement in Honolulu. Presentat the meeting were TheodoreRichards, chairman; R. S. Gault,-secretary- ;

Elijah Mackenzie, Jas.A. Rath, Ed Towse, Rev. A. A.Ebersole, and Paul Super.

It was, first, definitely decidedto inaugurate the Boys Scoutmovement in Honolulu, the mem-bership, however, to include anyboys of the city, irrespective ofmembership in the Y. M. C. A.The Y. M. C. A., while startingthe movement and pushing it,will be the headquarters of thecompany, or corps, but the Matterwill not be a Y. M. C. A. institu-tion, as popularly understood.

Paul Super was selected' tohead the committee which will beentrusted with the movementwork. He will have four co- -

Page 3: V TIk Honolulu Times - University of Hawaii · 2015. 6. 1. · TIk Honolulu Times Vol. IX. No. 1. "Look not every man on hW own things, but every man also on the things of others."

workers on this committee, theyto be appointed later on.

The boys of the city to formthis organization will be formedinto what are called patrols, eachpatrol to consist of eight boysand a leader. Several patrols willconsist a troop. One of thesetroops will be formed in the Y.M. C. A., or of Y. M. C. A. boys ;

and the others will be made up inthe different district of which Ho-nolulu is composed, of boys whoarc not members of the ,Y M.C. A.

In their work of perfecting thisorganization the committee feelsitself very fortunate in having theassistance of several gentlemenwho are familiar with the Scoutmovement elsewhere. Amongthem is a gentleman of Aberdeen,Scotland, and another of Austra-lia. The committee invites the co-

operation and assistance of anyother gentlemen in the city whohave experience in the work.

There should be quite a fewhere whose services would bevery valuable, as the Boys' Scoutmovement in Great Britain nownumbers 400,000 members, whileit has spread all over the UnitedStates and Australia.

The first duty of the new com-mittee will be to draw up detailsof the organization, perfect thescheme and then continue thework until their successors arechosen.

The object of the Boys' Scoutmovement is, in brief, to give tothe youth of the land a certainkind of very valuable trainingwhich is not afforded, systemat-ically at least, by any school orother institution. For instance,there will be practical training intracking, camping, signaling,

nature study,having birds, landshells, animals,plants, etc., as subjects; campcooking and many other thingsthat a boy should know.

Certain requirements are madeof the members as will shapetheir habits rightly. For instance,each boymust have a bank ac-

count, and is taught to save. Hemust be courteous under all cir-cumstances, and must respond toaid or to alleviate distress where-eve-r

necessary. He is pledged tohonor God and the flag of hiscountry; and to be honorable tohis fellow man in every respect,

THE HONOLULU TIMES

He must be a friend to animals,and to every useful creature.

News of the movement has al-

ready gone among the boys ofthe city, and they are thoroughlylavie to it. Up Manoa, in Nuu-an- u,

out on the Plains, in Palamaand elsewhere the boys are im-

patiently waiting to make thestart, and the men at the head ofaffairs have been literally be-seig- ed

in the past few days byand with questioners and ques-tions in regard to it.

Two patrols will probably beorganized this week, as the boysare all ready to be "mustered" in.One of them is in Manoa Valley,where Mr. Super will probablyattend to starting them off. Theother will be organized amongY. M. C. A. boys at the Y. M. C.A. building; those boys also be-

ing ready to make the start in ad-

"OUR DUTIES."

If you cannot on the oceanSail among the swiftest fleet,

Rocking on the highest billow,Laughing at the storms you

meet;You can stand among the sailors,

Anchored yet within the bay,You can lend a hand to help them

As they launch their boatsaway.

If you are too weak to journeyUp the mountains steep and

high,You can stand within the valley

While the multitude go by;You can chant a happy measure

As they slowly pass along;Though they may forget the

singerThey may not forget the song.

If you cannot in the conflictProve yourself a soldier true,

If where smoke and fire arethickest

There's no work for you to do ;

When the battlefield is silentYou can go with careful tread,

You can bear away the wounded,You can cover up the dead.

If you cannot in the harvestGarner up the richest sheaves,

Many a grain both ripe andgolden

May the careless reapers leave ;

Go and glean among the briersGrowing rank against the wall,

For it may be that their shadowHides the heaviest wheat of all.

Do not then stand idly waitingFor some greater work to do;

Fortune is a fickle goddess,She will never come to you.

Go and toil in any vineyard,Do not fear to do and dare ;

If you want a field of labor,You can find it anywhere.

THE EDITOR'S FEW BRIEFNOTES FOR SEPTEMBER.

Thursday, September 1.

This day came in to us andregistered at once as one of thewarmest, if not the very warm-est, days of the season. Even thecalmest and most patient mancomplained of the heat. And wecomplained.

September 2.Today is the seventy-secon- d

birthday of Queen Liliuokalani.She sees in the Islands onlypeace, progress and prosperity;and she realizes that her formerKingdom of Hawaii is one of themost noted coutries of the globe,not for climate and beauty only,but for the convenience of thecommerce and help of the nations.

It is a port that can hardly beavoided, for the comfort and thevital interest of the traveling pop-ulation.

Honolulu is the theme of everylarge business man whenever hestarts out to see a world-tou- r.

He must satisfy himself if therebe anything in Hawaii worth hiswhile, and here he will stop off ifonly for a few days.

"Did you see Honolulu?" heknows he will be asked on his re-

turn."Why did you miss Hono-

lulu?"Today is as warm as was yes-

terday.We can "hear the Band playing

at Washington Place.Long live Queen Liliuokalani.

Labor Day.This is, indeed, a sultry morn-

ing and slightly overcast. Wemay have a downpour.

We rejoice to see the BoyScout movement on hand andsure we are our boys will provegood scouts every boy of themthat has the healthy ambition tohave and do his part. We believeit is bound to becQm.e a very

prominent movement in theseIslands and to win the finest kindof a record a truly legion ofhonor for the boys. It is a noblething for a boy to do good andto be an honest-hearte-d boy inhelping others on. A boy, or agirl for that matter, can reallyput new life and zest into the lit-

tle circle about them, by showingself-sacrifi- ce and real earnest sin-cerity.

A boy or a girl, only one, canoften wield a great influence andin a quiet way, too, can fairlycome to shake an entire streetfromi its inertness by shaping ina way their daily chums or fa-for-

school-mate- s. We believethe boy scouts will do a markedwork for good.

It is a splendid fad. If onewould be enthusiastic as to themovement here, then read what ithas done in other cities.

Honolulu will be as successfulin the work.

THAT PINEAPPLE PIE.

We can but think (not only onreal reflection, but on eating),that the pastry cook of the YoungCafe is, in his way (first-clas- s

way), as much and as only, and,indeed, as a pro-moter of the pineapple industryas is Secretary Wood himself, afew doors below.

That cook makes the most de-

licious pineapple pie, and possiblypudding, too; but, we can speakfor the pie and the pineapple. Atourist, for instance, calls forpie every day ; and, when he goesto the Coast or wherever, he nat-urally tells of where he dined andhis thoughts at once revert to thefresh pineapple pie, of which he(and all of us) was so fond.

He then goes on to speak, nat-urally, of the mammoth industryof Wahiawa, etc., and of the verysuperior quality of the fruit; andthe circle widens and his relatives

on Alakca, can make all straightagain in a very few minutes. Andyet he is moderate in manner andin price.

As Mr. Watcrhouse says, we cantrust John Hughes. All know himto be frank and honest. We havenever heard of but one opinionas to that; and a man seldomwins a certain reputation with-out good foundation.

We hope he will be elected.Why should Treasurer Trent

retire? He is doing good workand is one of the best of treas-urers; we can not find a sounder,more practical man, can we? Pos-sible one as useful, but certainlyno better.

This shifting, shifting, makesthings often all in a snarl whereall was running smoothly andevenly.

It seems a great mistake tochange a certainty for an uncer-tainty; for, how can one learn tobe even a treasurer in a minute.But, many men, think they couldmake of themselves a Governoror a banker or a consul or a mar-shal or a fire-chi- ef or even a,

carpenter if given a hammer anda few nails; and all could white-wash. But sometimes wc arccompelled to note the failures ifnot the frauds.

ter. It is a dish fit for a queenor a peasant.

We need not speak of the Man-ager of the Cafe, for every fre-quenter has not enough to say inhis praise; he is so gentle and somuch liked by all; the childrenlike to gather about him becausehe thinks them, as well as theflowers and plants, worth his par-ticular attention and wants themto be happy at the table. WhenMr. Cohen had the little boys andgirls here, they took their mealsalways at the Cafe, and the Man-ager looked specially after theirlikes and dislikes and called themhis children. He took delight inpleasing them, for off the stagethey were quite like other littlechildren.

There are people you know thatcannot seem to adapt themselvesto children, and children are shyof them well-meani- people,too. We must not complain, butis not this very warm season? Andthe quicksilver says that it real-ly is.

Thy beauty and thy wonder,Not pen of ours can tell;For greater in this dreamlandHave said and sung it well.

It has been told in story,And writ in song of old;The mystery of thy glory,Yet none did quite unfold!

Can one spell out thy rainbows?Thy laughing showers of mist?Or tell the valleys' storyTo those who would insist?

of a day and no denying the sameafter the uncommon heat of yes-terday. A southerly rain is in theway of very much traffic of anysort. But the grocers and themarkets go on the same, for allmust have the Sunday dinner.

The mail, too, must be deliveredregularly, even if the carriers getwetted through, and the milk andthe ice must not fail in any sea-son ,for then what would the isckand the children do? But takingit all and in all, the past two dayshave been really disreputable sortof acquaintances. We took a rideup Nuuanu and did not comeacross any better weather; how-ever, Mr. Jordan was in the carand seemed very cheerful so faras we could judge, either fromhaving had a good breakfast orthe prospect of more advances insugar or cotton on account of theflood of rain.

Yes, we are interested alwaysin coffee, in the morning, andhope the crop will increase andmultiply and that all having cof-fee land may prosper.

There are many dealers thathave the finest Kona Coffee onhand and at very reasonable price.We wonder at the low price bythe pound; for it is most excel-lent at Hackfeld's, May's, Day's,McChesney's, and likely at a fewother stores. We never fail tofind good coffee at a very fairprice. To drink moderately ofblack coffee and to eat of curry isalways healthful in a warm cli-

mate it is said. But suposingone likes neither coffee nor curry,what then? One fancies onlycrisp toast in the early morning;another only porridge, and so itis, that one cannot exactly pre-scribe his friend's diet, howevergood or valuable his intentions.

Personally, we trust that Trent,Logan and Hughes, at least, willbe elected to office, as they arehonest, good men. We may thinkup a few others in a few daysthat deserve honorable mention inthe Times.

There was a very talkativemeeting here at the Elite late yes-terday afternoon, in the finerooms formerly occupied for someyears by the Christian Scientists;but we did not learn what it wasall about, as we were not present.

As there was no space given inthis morning's paper, we haveconcluded it must have been like-ly of a Democratic flavor.

We do not understand the termpolitics or very much at all aboutthe matter, and it is often a won-der to us why there can be somuch excitement and debate onthe subject. To us, a good office

holder, upright and just, one whodoes his work faithfully and cor-rectly, one whose work can standthe light of day, why, what doesit matter who or what electedhim? We cannot comprehendwhy there should be any noise ordebate at all. Good men are al-

ways wanted in office, and that iswhat the public calls for, so faras we can see.

We are contented with theGovernor and Mott-Smit- h andthe good men working underthem, and we don't see any onein our travels that is not tryingto do his work, and many of themlike Mr. Babbitt, for instance, andSecretary Wood and MarshalHendry and Dr. Wayson andBreckons and Henry Smith, As-sessor Wilder, all working when-ever we look in at therm; they areworking, working. We never findthese judges, Cooper or Robin-son or Perry, etc., these heads ofdepartments or their clerks, idle.Wilson, the roadman, and Gereand all of them seem to be driv-ing at their work, as busy as theGovernor himself.

Look how the Consuls have towork, Mr. Schaefer, Pfotenhauer,Forster, and the rest. Why, itwould surprise, we dare say, manyof our readers to see how thesegentleman of many affairs toilsteadily on for many hours inevery day, looking after vitalpoints of State or Territory or in-

dividual concerns, matters thatoften call for great judgment andsound wisdom. There is an im-

mense amount of hard mentalwork done in Honolulu done insolid rows of figures and ofnames, done in correspondenceand by personal contact and in-

terviews. There are few idlersamong the officials and profes-sionals. We are not now includ-ing the mechanics and the ordi-nary laborer, while they, too, areoften swift and willing workers.

September 13.Today we have an overcast sky

as if for rain. The ChinesePrince is here, and minute gunsare firing. We would like minuteguns for Prince Kuhio, we areall so glad he will return as Dele-gate to Washington, for he hasgiven a right royal record of goodwork done for the Territory.

It is well to retain all such val-uable workers; they that can ef--

feet and bring much to pass forthe public good.

We wish all such might be re-

tained and less of politics bebrought to pass by any changes.It is sad and surprising that agood public servant is not with-out hesitation at once

But, alas! this is not too oftenthe case, and an untried uncer-tainty steps into a faithful man'splace. It does really seem as ifit would almost discourage onefrom trying his best were it notthat an honest man is always im-

pelled by his conscience t odo thevery best he can, whatever theresults.

The schools are brim full ofpupils and many are waiting, sowe are told.

Punahou, St. Louis, and someof the others admit there is liter-ally "only standing room," so tospeak. It is a good sign anyway,this seeking after knowledge bythe many nationalities existing inHonolulu. They look to us ahappy crowd this week, eager tobegin the year's work and will-

ing to throw off the vacation. Tomany of the poorer classes schoolis a blessed place, and they startoff at a very early hour, glad tobe even under the shadow of theplace. It is often something of aproblem in country parts, wherelittle ones will walk long dis-

tances (on short breakfast) andarrive at the school, morning af-

ter morning, by seven o'clock. Byone in the afternoon those littleones are sleepy and faint, and itis hard to interest them in anysort of work. Many of themvareup and out by five, or earlier, inthe morning, and their thoughtsare schoolward. We are think-ing of the natives who often walkmiles and sometimes swim anystream on the way, putting theirclothing on the head, so we havebeen told.

Nor do they all have poi in themorning, possibly infrequently.

One of the Brothers at St.Louis College, where there are650 pupils, told us that the dis-cipline was very simple,' a systemof merits and the Roll of Honor,which is worked for anxiously bythe boys the entire year. Theseare for good conduct and for ex-

cellence in work.. In case a boy is indifferent, hecan be sent home, and he knowsthere are others waiting to take

his place. So it all lies with theboy to go or stay ;but if he doesstay, he must strive for the meritsand be a credit to himself in sofar as he can by diligence andgood deportment.

Nearing noontime, and the sunis out and the day sultry, as usualevery day just at present it isindeed a very warm eSptemberwrite that down for a certainty.Today at the Royal (one of theseven wonders of Honolulu), wewere confronted in the finegrounds at recess by eighteenclasses, or one thousand children.Here, then, was a moving pictureworth one's while. There was nofriction, no discord nor jar of anysort. When the drums beat forlines again, that school formed asby magic into lines, each childfound his mate quietly, and theymoved on into the building withperfect step, and yet fearless andhappy. The School City took theentire charge of the school at onceon Monday by mere force of habitwithout the help of the Principal,and on this second day, Tuesday,we could not discover any pilikiaat all.

The school seemed as orderlyas on the day of closing last ;or,as if might have been in sessionright along.

Vacation seemed to make nodifference with the perfect systemof the School City, which is nowa confirmed and settled power forgood. The Mayor and Aldermenare chosen by the Faculty and theSupervisors are elected by voteof the pupils, if we are right. Theschool is, indeed, a harmoniouswhole and something of the na-

ture of a miracle. A visit is worthone's while.

At recess one little Hawaiianhad retired from the crowd in thegrounds, and, coming up thesteps, seated herself flatly on thestone behind one of the pillars,and quietly munched a big hunchof bread and jam, for she wasvery hungry ; and the play of 1000children could not molest her re-

past or keep her from her cryingneed. Neither did she heed ourlooking down at her ; she was thehungry child with no tongue, butgood teeth.

It greatly amused us in themidst of all the din to see herperfect composure. If she appliesherself as well to her lessons, hermind will be well fed.

We always like to see a hungrychild eat; it seems to be so thank-ful, often, and so pleased withjust plain food, and to eat with awholesome relish (without "rel-ishes"). We came away from theRoyal School, where many arebeing turned away, with a verydelightful opinion as to the work

well confirmed by this secondvisit. The grounds are high andwell drained."

We would like to visit many ofat least the larger schools, but ittakes much time if one would gothe rounds. And then there arethe institutions and privateschools which always well repaya visit. We desire much to seeMills Institute and all in ManoaValley, but to find the day andthe opportunte time often bothersus. We know there is most su-

perb work going on, on those highlands, and we want much to havea little time to see it in its beauty.

When it grows cooler, we willmake the effort; but these arevery hot days.

We have seen the ChinesePrince, and it did not disturb ourlunch, later. It is fine that Ho-nolulu can stop and turn aside toentertain peer or peasant anddo them honor, thereby certain-ly honoring itself, as a city of hos-pitality, as well as beauty.

We are all glad that our Gov-ernor is bent upon being kindand courteous to the ssranger. Itis well, and sounds a true note forthe Territory that reaches aroundthe civilized world.

Mr. Atkinson as Chairman isthe right man in the right placefor we are sure he understands allthe parliamentary rules, whilenever obstinate or arbitrary. Hissupreme good nature wins himfriends where another would fail.It is the same with Mr. Davis atthe Royal; all the children counthim their ready friend, one thatnever nags therm or rubs them thewrong way, and yet he is seriousand observing.

These folk that have the trickof keeping their heavy artilleryin the rear, so to speak, can rule '

(as a rule) grown-up- s or chil-

dren.They rule themselves, first, eh?

fusing to listen to others; self-stud-y

THE KING'S DAUGHTERS'HOME.

We would put in a word forthis newly-starte-d Home and wellbegun, in the very best way, ina roomy and comfortable cottage.But, what is really needed forcontinuance of the good work, asall will, we believe, agree with us,is a very much larger place, eventen times as large likely (whereall can be income) to accommo-date, not the aged only, but anythat are really today needing ahome, a home table, home com-forts, hemmed in by the love andsympathy of true Christian avo-me- n

where, workers that canpay only a moderate sum, can finda large equivalent for the outlayand be happy and content aplace of refreshment and truerest a home, then, of steady andkindly welcome at all times, insmooth and in rough weather.

In order to carry out the hopesand plans of the founders of thisHome, a place of many acres like-

ly will be needed, where therewill be no outlay of rent, etc., andwhere can be realized a feeling ofpermanence and perfect securityfrom any removals or changes(a real Homestead land andbuildings owned for all time afirm basis and sure, well-anchore- d,

so to speak). There must, too,be an endowment in time to meetall expenses necessary.

Now, we will say, a largekitchen garden, for instance,would be an income ; enough landfor fruit trees (even flowers tosell), one or more good cows(milk to sell), a horse and car-

riage, cart; then there would befowls, doves, honey bees; allthese as time went on would bea constant, steady revenue; andall living in the Home would takea vital interest even the veryaged. There might come to be amonthly illustrated publicationconected with such a Home andkeeping the entire Territory intouch with the same.

We are certain a large andbeautiful building will be neededfor this most unique work thathas been begun, in so quiet andmodest a way.

Always a Home and never anInstitution.

Flow gently, I'll sing thee a songin thy praise ;

My Mary's asleep by thy mur-muring stream;

Flow gently, sweet Afton, disturbnot her dream.

Thou stock dove whose echo re-

sounds thro' the glen,Ye wild whistling blackbirds in

yon thorny den,Thou green crested lapwing, thy

screaming forbear,I charge you disturb not my slum-

bering fair.

How lofty, sweet Afton, thyneighboring hills

Far marked with the courses ofclear winding rills ;

There daily I wander, as noonrises high,

My flocks and my Mary's sweetcot in my eye.

How pleasant thy banks andgreen valleys below,

Where wild in the woodlands theprimroses blow;

There, oft as mild evening weepsover the lea

The sweet scented birk shades myMary and me.

Thy crystal stream, Afton, howlovely it glides

And winds by the cot where myMary resides;

How wanton thy waters hersnowy feet lave,

As gathering sweet flow'rets shestems thy clear wave.

Flow gently, sweet Afton, amongthy green braes;

Flow gently, sweet river, thetheme of my lays,

My Mary's asleep by thy mur-muring stream;

Flow gently, sweet Afton, disturbnot her dream.

PUBLICITY.

(By Supt. Thomas P. Bailey,Memphis.)

We need to organize propermethods of securing publicity in

regard to the workings of ourschools. The people are interest-ed in them. The newspapers knowit and are glad to print all perti-nent news items, and, in defaultof such, even non-pertine- nt ones(not impertinent).

This interest on the part of thepeople and the press should pleaseus school folks. But what schoolnews shall we give? And when?And how? What do the peoplewant to know about? What newsitems will best stimulate interestin the schools? What mattershave tax-paye- rs a right to be in-

formed about? How can gossipand sensationalism be avoided?How can the news be saved fromthe appearance of exploitation bythe superintendent or others con-nected with the department? Howmuch time and force ought to bespent in organizing a publicitybureau? These are some of thequestions to be considered by allconcerned. I shall welcome sug-gestions and hope to be able tobroach the subject in more defi-nite fashion in a future report.Report.

It is fabled that Jove at onetime called men to Olympus, of-

fering the crown of immortalityto the most worthy. One after an-

other gave account of heriocdeeds, till at last, noticing an oldman, on the outskirts of thethrong, with bowed head andhumble mien, the god inquired:"And what have you to offer?"

"Oh, nothing, nothing," wasthe answer, "but all these wereonce my pupils."

Then the voice of the greatThunderer rang out: "Crownhim'! Crown him! Crown thefaithful teacher with immortality,and make room for him at myright hand."

THE HONOLULU TIMES

GOING DOWN TO KILAUEA

(Robert J. Burdette in Los An-geles Times.)

Some people say "going up toKilauea," because you go upagainst the wind from Honoluluto Hilo. But the "big island,"Hawaii, of which Ever GrowingHilo is the capital, is south ofHonolulu, and everybody every-where on all this earth knows thatsouth is always down. At leastthey taught it "down" in Peoria,where I was brought up, so itmust be correct. For we lived onthe Illinois River, which alwaysran down. Except in the springfreshets, when it simply spreadover, from old Cap. Hull's springsclean over to Col. Ballance's elkpark, and a steamboat wanderingup from St. Louis was just as lia-

ble to go up Spoon River or Kick-apo- o

Creek as it was to come onto the levee where Nick Bergen'sdrays waited for the cargo, andRock Champion, the mate of allmates, came ashore to stand thetown on edge and push it overinto the lake, as his custom waswhen the kindly feelings of hisrugged nature swayed his actions.Those were the days when SamCrouse was Town Marshal andJoe Thomas was Fire Chief, and"Peoria No. 1" and "Neptune No.2" fought at the fires until a largeclear area was burned over andmade fit for the erection of nicenew buildings. The days whenDodge City, which did not thenexist : Peoria : : a Sunday-scho- ol

convention : a socialist picnic.Dear me; we learned a heap ofthings in old Peoria, in those im-

perial days that the faculty notonly didn't teach, but didn't evenknown, in college. And whichwere easier to learn than theywere to forget. Which is not im-

possible, although it is absurd.Must be the volcano that set

me to thinking about old Peoriain the old days, all of which weredivided into three conditionswhen she was heating up; whenshe was red hot and in activeeruption, and when she was cool-ing off. There are other townsnot so much unlike it, as similar.

An excellent steamship of theInter-Islan-d Navigation Com-pany's fleet carries you safely andpleasantly down for it is downto Hilo, the landing and the start

ing point for the big volcano.There is a fine wharf at Hono-lulu, and a good one at Hilo. Butat all intervening ports focallall the vowel combinations save afew good strong Scotch nameswhen you get into the jurisdic-tion of "iLttle Scotland," whichbegins I think at MacGregor's, onthe Island of Maui, and runs outto sea south of Hawaii, freightand livestock, cattle, sheep, poul-try and humans, are landed andembarked in boats. This processgreatly interests the passengers,especially those who are landingor embarking, and particularly inrough weather, when the wavesrun high and the spray dasheshigher.

There is no danger, when theboats can go at all. For the ka-

nakas are among the best boat-men in the world. You have seenthe boat drill on the Atlanticliners. The blast of the whistleafter the word has been passedaround among the passengers,who "oh" and "ah" and admire,while the crew, to whom the per-formance is somewhat of a bore,amble to their stations and thenloaf back again. But those am-phibians on the Inter-Islan- d

steamships practise "boat-drill- "

at every landing. No fuss, nonoise, no exhibition postures. Fivemen to a boat. Everything is or-

derly as a woman's handkerchiefbox. A word from an officer andthe boat descends from the davits,a volley of vowels from the steers-man, the long oars sweep intoplace, and with short, easy strokesthe boat dances over any kind ofa sea as though it were a pleasuretrip. The freight packages andbaggages are caught up by twostout fellows and lightly tossedup on the little landing wharf.The passengers are caught up andhandled in much the same way,just as promptly, only far moregently, for those kanaka boatmenaer as tender hearted as women.When the scene is at the ship itis more interesting. For the jollyboat rocks, dips, swings andpitches to its own rag-tim- e, andthe big ship does a two-ste- p andshuffle after its own manner. Nota package is ever droped. Everypiece of baggage goes aboard ingood shape. There is no noise,no gesticulation, no excitement.By and by it comes your turn. Ifthe sea is too rough to lower the

But before thescream can phrase itself, you areshot through the air and arestanding on the main deck, wherea Chinese steward is waiting withyour handbag, and just as you arewondering what it was all about,the polite purser is saying "yourroom is number three." It is allover, but you don't know when ithappened.

Hilo is a very pretty city withone of the nicest hotels anywhere,an arrangement in cottages, allconnected with the hotel by cov-ered lanais they're just porches,but they sound different when youcall them lanais. And when youreach the Volcano House, after athirty-mil-e drive, uniess you pre-fer to combine rail and stage, youwill find yourself in a hotel thatstands inside of the walls of oneof the older craters, close to theedge of a later one; little jets ofsteam fromi the numerous solfa-tan- is

here and there, which arenatural steam pipes reaching downinto some vast subterranean ket-tle underneath you, and a Greek

a thoroughbred, of Homeric an-

cestry, in charge of your safetyand your comfort. His very faceis a care-dispell- his voice a res-ervoir of assurance, and his laugha joy to be treasured. The trav-eler may forget the volcano, butso long as he lives he will grate-fully remember Demosthenes Ly-curg-

and kind of hope to getthe next lot to him in glory.

another crater, to which you maydescend with perfect safety, andalmost no trouble at all, if youdon't mind scrambling a little.Then, in the center of that, thepit of Kilauea, red hot and a 1000feet in diameter, three acres offire. And you may approach therim of that as close as your nervewill carry you. If you wish youmay sit on the black rim and letyour feet hang over.

It is forbidden to fall in.Occasionally a portion of the

rim breaks off and falls into thepit. This fact deters any one,save the most hardened liars, fromsitting on the edge and danglingtheir legs over the pit. And theyalways go alone. Even liars donothunt in couples, when theyseek adventures.

You can see al lthere is to beseen by walking around the higherrimi, upon which stands the resthouse. It is the thing to go overin mid afternoon, and get the day-light views from different points.Then your coffee is heated hotand sizzling at "Pele's Teakettle,"or some other natural range. Peleis the Hawaiian goddess of fireand Kilauea was her last home onthese Islands. There you remaintill 9 or 10 o'clock for the splen-dor of the night scene. Then youwalk or ride home as easily andsafely as though you had beenspending the evening with friends.You do not talk much on the wayhome. You have been awed intosilence that makes you most de-

lightfully refreshing company formany hours. Even the most bro-'mid- ic

intelligence hesitates to ask"wasn't it grand?" or to offer thesuggestion, now some 20,000 yearsold, for the lumps of lava justthrown out, used to say it to eachother that it is 'like the orthodoxhell."

A lake of fire. Not of leapingtongues of flame, but of moltenfierceness, slumbering fury. Greatblack cakes of lava break fromi theedges of the pit and float slug-gishly out toward the center.There is a sudden ebullition ageyser of furious incalescence thatengulfs the black masses as theclay swallows the night. Acrossthe black areas dart zigzag linesof molten lightning. Tremulouslace work of all shades of incan-descence dull red glowing, yel-lows of molten gold, a quiver ofwhiteness like silver in a refining

pot; a fringe of blood-re- d and aflame of ruby, then a fierce glarethat closes the half-blind- ed eyes.The tone of the great crucible isyellows and reds. Splendor, mag-nificence, awe-inspirin- g.

Not terrifying. Close as youmay stand beside this lake of fire,there is always a sense of safety.It is the brute that slinks awayin terror at the sight of fire. Fireis the servant of man. It seems tome he can never feel his masteryover all the earth, and all that onit and in it so triumphantly aswhen he stands close to the seeth-ing crater, unique and solitaryamong all the volcanoes in theworld, and looks down at the sur-face, indication of unmeasuredheat and power and terrific force.What are the hidden causes of itall, lying underneath, he does notknow. There are a hundred con-jectures. There is no absoluteknowledge. He can toss a peb-ble into the lake at his feet. Hecannot probe into its secret.

It is a good thing to remember,man. Keep the fires of life glow-ing in your soul, deep hiddensources of mighty power and liveforever. When you let them roarand leap and rave in the surfaceof your temper and your animalpassions, the fires cool and black-en into brittle, lifeless and uselesslava, a thing of contempt, to betrodden under foot.

THE WHISTLING BOY.

(By Celia S. Bcrkstresser)

Is there a sound in the world sosweet, on a dark and drearymorn,

When the gloom without meetsthe gloom within till we wishwe'd not been born,

As the sound of a little barefootboy gayly whistling in therain,

While he drives the cows to pas-tures green, down the pathin the muddy lane?

The joy of a boy is a funny thing,not dampened by autumnrain;

His clothes and his hands and hissturdy feet are not spoiledby grime or stain;

The world to him is a wonderfulplace that he means someday to explore;

If there's time to play and plentyto eat who cares if the heav-ens pour?

Oh, that cheery trill of a heart asfresh as the drops that clearthe air,

Brings a smile to our lips andclears the soul of the gloomthat brooded there;

And we bless the boy as he spatsalong through rivers or rainand mud,

lor the hope and cheer in thatwhistled note would rainbowthe sky in a flood.

A writer tells of a boy who wassunny and brave. He met the illsof life, which too many people re-

gard as almost tragedies, withcourage. Nothing ever dauntedhim. Where most boys areafraid or break into tears, he wasundismayed and untroubled. Butone day something serious hap-pened. He and a playmate climb-ed a tree. Just when our littlephilosopher had reached the top,his foot slipped and he fell to theground. He lay there, evidentlyhurt, but uttered no cry. It wasthe playmate that screamed. Thedoctor found the leg badly brok-en. The boy bore the setting pa-

tiently without a whimper. Themother sliped out of the room tohide her own tears she couldn'tstand it as well as her boy did.Outside the door she heard a faint

sound and hurried back, almosthoping to find him crying.

"My boy!" she said, "do youwant something? I thought Ihaerd you call."

"Oh, no, mother," he said, "Ididn't call. I just thought I'd trysinging a bit." And he went onwith the song.
