New Method of
Registration Advocated.
Honolulu, January 2:1. ''We
are thinking of recommending to
tho Legislature the oreation of a
Great Register," Governor Vrcar
said this noom.
' This is, a permanent register of
voters, instead of making a com
plete registration every two years.
so that tho only work of the board
of registration will bo to mako
necessary changes in the lists.
1 he idea is thrown out with a
viow to getting expressions of
opinion. It seems to be a desira
ble innovation. In the first place,
it will save sorveral thouand dol
lars now expended in the work of
boards of registration in the differ
ent senatorial districts.
"In the second place it will be a
great convenience to tiro voters be
cause they will not bo required to
register every two years.
"Finally, it will facilitate the
work of a primary election if a pri
mary law be pas-ed,a the primary
election will necessarily conic some
time before the registration of
voters in completed. Moreover, it
will bo handy for reference. '
"We are trying to devise every
means to economize without im
pairing the efficiency of the. govern
ment. It is necessary to do so to
make both ends meet. One means
of doing this is to reduce tho
number of offices so far as may bo
found practicable without injury to
public services. In other word?,
not only is it necessary to econo
mize to keep within the revenues,
but we wish the money to go as far
as possible and where it will ' tell
most "
The College
Of Hawaii
(Continued from Vnge i.)
know a great deal about Pomo and
nothing at all about an engine or
the food value of a grain of wheat,
subjects of more practical value to
them in life than the former. So
you will find the College of Hawaii
stands for service, as against the old
world idea, where college education
stands largely for educational cul
ture. That is the idea prevailing in
China and England. In Germany
college education stands for scholar
ship, and in tho United States it
stands for servico, the- idea being to
fit men and women to do some
thing. To educate so as to promote
industry or to make education a
preparatory course for future sevice.
Wo have no idea of what might
result from the careful study of a
given subject, tako sugar beets for
instance, formerly sugar beets con
tained1 only about nine per cent of
sugar, now, by careful study and
selection, the sugar value has in
creased from nine per cent to about
eighteen per cent. In Hawaii there
is the pineapple plant. At present
a great deal of sugar is required in
canning it, in lime with careful
study and selection of plants and a
knowledge of plant physiology we
might produce a superior grade of,
pineapples which would contain
more sugar than the present varie
ties. In cane cultivation there is tho
question of soil fertility which must
be carefully studied and watched
and no doubt the future would nee
greater changes in the cultivation of
sugar cane than at present. There
are also great engineering problems
to he overcome in the taking of
waters from far ofT" mountrin val
leys to fields where it is used for
irrigation of growing crops. All
these practical matters can bo taken
up by those who may get their train
ing in the College of Hawaii.
Tho college is ppep to students de
siring to take advantage of its op
portunities and there is no charge
for tuition.
Mr. Gilmore stated that thirty
