in good. All the rumors, statements and hints, regarding the
homesteading problem in these islands will be traced down and
proved false, or true. And to anyone, who is unbiassed, or not con
trolled by the- Kinney-Ashford faction, it seems that there can be but
one ending to the Kuhio "charges." Governor Frear will be absolute
ly vindicated, and his administration will be upheld. Frear has fought
the fake homesteader for all he is worth. The dummy proposition re
ceived a knock out blow at his hands, and the way was opened for such
homesteaders as are at present settling the Haiku lands on Maui.
The men who are attacking Governor Frear are doing so for their
own endSfc That fact will be made clear to Secretary Fisher before the
investigation ends. The "charges" have, by letters, been shown to be
false and, now by word of mouth, they are also being made look foolish.
The visit of Secretary Fisher will do good in the way of refuting,
once and for all, the rash statements that are made by people who know
nothing of the good homesteading work done by Frear. That the
present goveut" will be reappointed, is a certainty and some people
have known that since last May.
- MAUI NO KA 01.
MAUI will be well represented at the Annual Regatta of the Ha
waiian Rowing Association, and it is up to the citizens of
"God's Isle" to root for, and encourage as much as possible,
the young athletes who are going to uphold our honor on Honolulu
harbor next week.
The Valley Islandersto use a rather hackneyed expression are
made of the real stuff. They are imbued with the right sort of spirit
the Maui spirit and they will do or die in the two races in which they
will compete. k
The Myrtles and Healanis are good sports, too, and the Coast crew
the Alamedas are cast in the same mould. There will be a great tus
sle next week, and may the best crew win.
Next year the Hilo crew will be in the game, and there will be an
added interest. Hilo will, in 1914, invite the other crews to compete
in straight-away course races and then will the Hawaiian Islands be
kruly engaged in the rowing game.
MAUI IS
HAVE you ever noticed the startling resemblance that the map of
Maui bears to the head and shoulders of a woman? The map
compiled by W. D. Alexander and Bishop, looks for all the
world, like a female, wearing a colored shawl. West Maui forms the
head. The nose is at Olowalu, the mouth at Papalau, the chin from
Kamanawai to Keanapaakai. The neck starts at Keawanui and reaches
to Kalaepohaku. From that place to Nukuele the shoulders can be
seen. The stretch between Lauuiupoko and Lahaina makes the fore
head while, from the latter place right around to Kahului the rest of
the head is outlined. Hamakuapoko, Hamakualoa and the Koolau dis
tricts form the rest of the shoulders of the lady. In the colored map
the resemblance is more pronounced. No wonder Maui attracts everybody!
Hilo is certainly growing fast.
appearance of a daily paper. This move has been predicted for some
time past, but it was thought that either the Tribune or the Herald
wouldjbe the first to jump at the opportunity. With the extension of the
railroad along the Hamakua coast, it was . thought that many new sub
scribers could be gained, and that the advertiser's would also come
through with the necessary support to make a daily paper a success.
Watch Hilo grow!
The visit of the members of the Maui Chamber of Commerce to Hilo
next week, cannot but help to bind the threads of friendships that exist
between the different islands. It is a pity, but still a fact, that, the
business men of the group do not know one another very well that is
personally. The coming convention in Hilo, on September 26, will be
one of the best "get together" affairs of years and will do an immense
amount of good.
Our esteemed contemporary seems to be on the inside as regards the
movements of a certain popular bird.

ENDORSEMENT OP PROMINENT EDU
CATORS NOT CONNECTED WITH
THE DbPARTNENT OP PUBLIC
INSTRUCTION.
The following persons have fami
liarized themselves with the work
of the school and have given it their
endorsement:
Dr. Elmer Brown, (Late Com
missioner at Washington,)
Col. Francis W. Parker, Cook
Country Normal.
Miss Zonia Baber, Chicago Uni
versity. Miss Flora J. Cook, Francis W.
Parker School.
Dr. John Dewey, Columbia Uni
versity. Pres. John W. Gilmore, College
of Hawaii.
Prof. W. D. Alexander.
Prof. C. II. Hitchcock.
Bishop Restarick.
D. P. McConnel, Supt. Schools,
Queensland.
Dr. Elmer Brown while Commis
sioner of Education at Washington,
endorsed the school before the State
Board of California and later in
Washington assured the Principal
of his .continued interest in the
growth and development of the
school.
Dr. John Dewey, Columbia Uni
versity, stated that the school was
well to the front in educational
ideals, but would probably meet
opposition in its development along
the line of those ideals.
On May 19, 1912, following the
series of articles in the Advertiser
Rishop II. B. Restaricjc after an in
quiry into the wors oi the school
wrote the Principal as follows: "I
assure you of my hearty support
and cordial friendship in the work
which you are doing.
I consider now, as I have always
done, that, with very peculiar
material and with most difficult pro
blems, you have done splendid
work, and this I shall maintain at
all times against any criticism."
THE TEACHING FORCE.
The teaching force of the school
is composed largely of residents of
the Territory and is satisfactory and
comparatively permanent as shown
by the following names:
Miss Ziegler, 13 years; Mrs- Mar
shell. 12 years; Miss McDonald, 7
years; Mrs. Bridgewater, 6 years;
Miss Soper, 6 years; Miss Kluegal,
6 years; Miss Cook, 6 years; Miss
Winter, 4 years; Miss Peck, 4 years;
Miss, Monsarrat, 4 years; Miss
Freeth, 5 years, etc.
ACTIVITIES OF THB 8CHOOL.
In 1902, a fund was established
for needy and deserving students.
This has assisted a large number of
students to complete their course
who would otherwise have given up
their work. Through the Universi
ty Honor Loan and Trust Associa
tion, the school has been instru
mental in aiding eight teachers of
the Territory to attend Teachers'
College, Columbia University.
The faculty of the school has
spared neither time nor money in
supplying teachers all over the Ter
ritory with material to assist them
in their work.
The following extract from the
i' Advertiser'' is from an interview
with Mr. Woolsey, agent for the
American Book Company for the
Pacific Coast during a recent visit to
Honolulu.
BXTRACT FROM COMMERCIAL ADVER
TISER. "Hawaii has a reputation all over
the country as leading the whole
world in the matter of language
teaching and she has the honor of
originating the idea upon which is
based the latest language next books
in American schools," said P. S.
Woolsey, agent of the American
Book Company, who is here on one
of his periodical visits. The Amer
ican Book Company, sometimes
called the "Book Trusty" supplies
most of the books for the depart
ment of public instruction here, and
for many years Woolsey has been
coming at intervals to consult with
the authorities. He has been an
interested listener at the sessions of
the Supervising Principals-
"To Prof. Wood of the Normal
School is due the credit of furnish
ing the idea upon which the new
American Readers are being gotton
oat," said Mr. Woolsey. "The old
text books which began in the pri
mary grades with the uninteresting
and meaningless phrases, such as
'This is a cat,' 'See the dog,' etc.,
are giving away to books in which,
in equally simple language, some
striking and interesting story is
told. The suggestion of this change,
which is going on all over the
country, came from Professor Edgar
Wood of Honolulu.
In the matter of the instruction
of foreign children in the English
language, Hawaii has had to spc
cialize, and she has the reputation
among the leading educators of the
country of having throughout and
adopted the most effective system
known. The reputation of the
School Department for efficiency
and scientific work is something for
the Islands to be proud of."
The following communication
from Mr. D. P. McConnel, B. A.
Supt. of Schools, Queensland, Aus
tralia, received last month, gives a
disinterested schoolman's opinion
of the Honolulu Normal School.
Dear Mr. Wood: I have never
forgoton my visit to the Honolulu
Normal in 1908, nor to tell every
one about it. I have looked in vain
for anything approaching your ideal
school. It seems there are only
three others in the States. Dr.
Dewey's school in connection with
Chicago University, Win, Baldwin's
Normal School at Hyannis and the
Speyer School in New .York under
Teachers' College. This last is a
wonderful place. Of course it is in
the city and cannot quite carry out
the program of the Honolulu Nor
mal. But the idea is the same in
all four schools, to bring the outside
into the school, to bring the chil
dren's interests in. to make them
understand what life is and thus to
prepare them for the most useful,
intelligent kind of a citizenship.
You may have the satisfaction of
knowing that you are right in the
front of educational ideals. Old
methods are disappearing fast. The
old dry drill of the three R's the
old Benseless round, memorizing,
memorizing, memorizing is all go
ing fast and the reasonable treat
ment of the children as little unde-
veloped human beings is coming in.
No community will long be able to
stay behind the new methods. You
have psychology, physiology, reason
and common sense behind you. I
have many times thought of that
delightful day four, years ago when
I saw for the first time how educa
tion might be made according to
Nature. Now, I know the reason
why. Your sympathy aud genius
have done it for you in Honolulu as
they have guided Dewey, Baldwin
and Bowser. Long may you be suc
cessful in your efforts. Where could
your plan be more appropriate than
in the Hawaiian Islands? You have
a great variety of peoples, and lan
guages and of inherited ideas to
cope with. By going to the heart of
human nature you meet them all on
common ground and from that
meeting place the ascent is easy.
The effect could be seen in every
face among your pupils.
I have just finished all my written
work for the Ph. D. I think my
visit to your school convinced me I
must seek my road in the States.
Your fraternally,
D. P. McCONNEL.
