The News bus recently taken oc casion to pcint out the defects in our scho.il system, and Incidentally t voice the general opinion that we are not gettingtho csulcs for which wc annually pay large sumi, the point being made by this paper that our common schools, with some few ex ceptions, are failing to properly in struct our grammer school children. The following let ter, written to the Bulletin by a Maui toucher, furnish es just the opportunity which the News needs to clinch its argument: Editor Evening Uulletin:-0ur most progressive luce I pape.- the Maui News, has recent y devoted much (space in Its ed tonal.s in denouncing school metin d-j nnd device as carried on in onr school-!, and declaring the live step inelhod as "loinmy-i ot" and oilier such awkward express! 'lis ami thai- our common school gradu ates can no longer, for want of pro per I raining, obtain positions in an olliee as th. y did lif teen years ugo. One who lias had some experience as a teacher will rc ndily notice tiat the editor of that "progressive" pa per is vastly ignorant of tho subject he has written and it is exceedingly surprising that a man who assumes tr be an editor of a journal should express his views on a subject of which he lists absolutely no Know ledge, llj may as wi II slep liilo the ullice of thi.' plantation muiugcr and suggest some better device in the cultivation of sugar cane, a sur.jeet which lie, too, has no concept.. on, except possibly that sugar is made from sugar cane. Our young men of today with the advantages ollered in our excellent school svstem are certainly belter prepared when he graduates tha.i iho youth fifteen years ago. Ambitious young men today seek a higher education tl.uu that offered lu the common schools, end carcfi.l'y prepare for their fuiure work, while his schouhnale without an uiubiiinn or circumstances tr.ay nut permit, are quite sa'isiied -ith their cmi men school education, and therefore cannot complete with Ins chuir. The employer, wuh reason, employs toe umbilicus youth who is thoroughly prepared, insleau t f thu one who is apparently conlintcd with his in ferior education. The so called "Five-Step Method," briefly speaking, is simply u gei.cral plan for the teaching of lessons. It is based on educational principles, and the result of many year of ex perience. Thuukizg you for the space, I rc main, yours truly, ' J. V, Mokawao, Maui, Oct. 20. 1904. Now it will be remembered" by those who attentively read the New that the blame in the matter was placed on the shoulders of the teach ers rather than of the children. Iu ordinary correspondence, errors in grammar, stylo und composition are excusable, but when a teacher writes a letter for publication in a newspa per, it may fairly be presumed that he wiil have at leust pride enough to do tho best he knows how iu the mat ter of corrcc' grammar, and will at least pay attention to tho elementary rules of composition. "J. Vs." let ter in the Bulletin coutnins live paragraph.', and tho News will take the trouble of point out just o"e er ror lu each paragraph, not for the purpose of rlc'.iculiug "J. V.," but rather for the more kindly purpose of assisting him and others to dis cover where the fault in our school system lies. Paragraph One. 'The Maui News has devoted much space in do nouncing" etc. Incorrect. Space is devotrd "to" purposes, not "in" them. Paragraph Two. "The editor of that 'progressive' paper is vastly ignorant of the subject ho has writ ten." "About wnich," c r "concerning which," lie has written would conn, nearer conforming to the elementary riles of composition. Paragraph Three. "Our young men today with the advantages off ered in our excellent school svstem are certainly better prepared when he graduates than tho youth fifteen years ago." Yes, "J. V.," but it will be hard to iiiako old f.igtes like tho News man believe tiiat, o long as you insist on making the singular phrase "wlv n he graduates" agree with the plural form, "Out young men." Paragraph Fou r. "Ambitious young men today seek a higher edu cation than that ottered in f'c com mon schools, rnd carefully prepare for their future worif, while Lis schooimato wlthoat on ambition or circumstances may nit permit., are quite satisfied with their common school education, and therefore can not complete with h:s chum." Excus us, "J. V.," we promised to point out only one error in each paragraph But as the singular forms "bis schoolmates" and "his chum" each refer to the tame plural antecedent "Ambitious young men," the News will rount it one error, and pass iu silence over the expression, "with out nn ambition, or cirenmstances may not permit." Patograph Five - "It, (the Five Step Method,) is based on education al principles, and th-; result of many years of experience." Faulty cum position again. Sho"ld be, "and is the result" etc; who faulty use of the word "of" alter "years," which lat ter word should be possessive in form. The five step method in the prop er hands and used properly has never been condemned by the News, ?ut it docs scf rn that one or two pre liminary "steps" are needed in our com non schools, notably llm ability to use the s'mpli's forms of the En glislt language correeily, und i f teachers cannot do so, their pupils wiil not be taught to do s ' J. V." assumes t! at the News man is "vastly igurn.iu" of school matters, but the truih it that he was principal cf one of tho leading grammar schools in San Francisco while "J. V." was yet in his swad dling clothes, and m those old fogy days pupils were taught, among other thiigp, a correct use of the elementary forms of the English language, insltad f being taught as the now r. v, to do so much "sid-. Stepping." MAILEsH WIN The ball game Tuesday afternoon demonstrated very forcibly the su perlority of the Mailes over the ;occl team, regardless of the fact that the weather conditions, tho rouL'h vovaue . on the Iroquois fr .m Hawaii, and their unfamiliarit.y with the grounds af forded a heavy handicap which should have proved a boon to tie M l,:t i ., , , . , . There were several hot rangiest . .. over uecisious mil ic oy in j local umpires and the opinion prevailed that tho Mallei intended to win w'.ieiher by fair playing or by bull dozing on the decisions. The Mailes had no reason to resort to tlrs latter method as the play showed that they outbatted and out fielded th-i home nine. The Mauis played as excellent a game as any this season, the battery being exceptionally proficient and the gume was as much the Mauls as the Mailes until the last inning when the latter piled up live runs, while the Mauts, who were last to the but only made one. 'j'om Kroger made two pretty ruiv niug catches of fou! fli s. DcLcrie of the Mailes who played leflfield also made a running catch which called forth applause from the epect. tors. George Cumniings who had been slated to play at short for the Mauis met with his usual mishap, in this instance during practice prior to the calling of game. Cummings was working himself in to form at short und iu attempting to stop a lot liner split his right hand between the thumb and fore finger so severely us to necessitate his withdrawal from the game. Tcin Lloyd held down short in his place. The soggy condition of the ground and I lie Mauis playing uilhojt cleats o. i their shoes, were responsible for tho fc errors of the home team. Hampton's errors'were of a nature which wtt c anything but excusable coming from a player of his caliber. Mailes A U. P.. LU. P.O. A.

A largo crowd of enthusiasts wit nessed the first intcrisland game of cricket at Kahului Thursday after . . , , , noon between Oi.hu and Mam. While the Maui team expected to be beaten, they were happily disap pointed in the results as they made a very jreditable showing, their weak spot being in their battting. An unlooked for t ccident happened to Judge Stanlly in the second game. A batted ball struck a small stone and In bounding struck the Judge in the forehead above the left eye caus ing a nas'y gash, but which did not prevent the play ccntinuing.
