fflOKIHA CLUB'S
ABOUT PUBLIC
At their last regular meeting the
ladies "f the Mokihana Club, of
Liluie, received front their special
schools committee a report which
has caused considerable stir in the
community. A number of copies
were circulated afterward. The
Garden Island having informa
tion that members of the Legisla
ture were quite liberally supplied
with copies. This paper received
a copy shortly after they were sent
out, but hesitated somewhat about
publishing it on account of several
of its conclusions. However, the
talk about the report continues,
and inasmuch as the general pub
lie docs not just exactly know the
cause of the smoke, it has been
decided to "spread out" the whole
matter.
The report was as follows:
"Your Committee on Schools
has, since its appointment, made a
general survey of the four schools
of the District. Members of the
Committee have visited each
school, going always in the spirit
of friendly visitors trying to find
out the actual needs of the schools,
and have consulted with principals
and teachers to get their ideas as
to needed improvements and to
secure their cooperation in what
ever the Mokihana Club might
plan to undertake. A list of ques
tions used by the College Club in
its survey of Honolulu schools has
been of help in securing data.
Two members of the Committee
attended the Teachers' Conven
tion at Kapaa in January. It is
an interesting fact that aside from
teachers, there were 26 citizens
from all parts of the island, two
judges, a lawyer, an editor, mini
sters, a supervisor, members of
the Legislature, among others,
who were interested listeners,
showing that the growing and in
telligent interest in education
among "laymen" which is charac
teristic of the United States today,
has reached us also. This is one
of the most promising "signs of
the time," and this interest your
Committee has noted everywhere.
There have been many expressions
of approval of the fact that the
women of this community are in
teresting themselves iu a matter of
such vital importance as the well
being of our schools.
"It is a satisfaction to be able to
report that the schools are sup
plied with good teachers and prin
cipals and are conducted in an
able and efficient manner. The
Department of Education, in so far
as it is able with limited means, is
giving the schools necessary gen
eral supplies. There is no com
plaint made, except as to the
meagerness of such supplies, but
all schools seem to be faring alike,
and the Department appears to be
making a genuine effort to do its
best. It is to be hoped that it
will soon be supplied with more
funds and see its way clear to
greater liberality in this respect.
Our schools must never be run
luxuriously nor wastefully, but
there is a happy medium between
an under and a n over supply
which should be determined. It is
certainly discouraging, to take but
one instance, for teachers to be re
quired to teach sewing and yet have
no material supplied and to have
to go out to secure such material
themselves by giving bazaars, etc.
This is demanding too much of
teachers, who, we believe, are al
ready overworked. This is, how
ever, a matter which will, we be
lieve, be adjusted in time. We
are confident t h e Department
means it shall be. Manual Train
ing is being in '.reduced into the
four largest schools on the island,
the Lihue School beginning this
work this year. The work has
been greatly delayed and retarded
in this school by lack of equip
ment. One hundred a n d fifty
J dollars worth ot tools are needed
I before anything like a proper be
ginning can be made. This is an
IDEAS
SCHOOLS
estimate made by an outsider, p
gentleman who has had experience
i n conducting manual training
classes in private schools in Hono
lulu, especially at"Iolani," where
the greatest economy is used. At
E'eelc and Wat men cooking is
being taken up and at Eleele an
attempt is being made to serve
lunchens at 2 1 , 5, and 10 cents a
portion. If this experiment
proves successful, it is planned to
extend it to other schools. Your
Committee hopes that w hen this is
done, it will be with the proper
equipment, otherwise tLeie is a
great waste of time and effort.
These departments are evidently
viewed by the Board as being in
the experimental stage If they
are proved worth having, why at
tempt to make them entirely self
supporting? They might be made
so to a certain extent without
great effort, but if thev are worth
having, why net support them as
other departments are supported?
"The Course of Study is the
cause of much discussion. The
new course issued by the Depart
ment in 1914 is, however, a great
advance upon the old, and at the
recent Convention was, except for
certain portions, highly commend
ed. It seems important that some
changes should be made in the
Readers and Grammars used and
in the grading of the Arithmetic.
You have all heard complaint
made against the Golden Treasury
Readers as being too difficult and
as containing subject-matter be
yond the comprehension and ex
perience of the children of our
schoo's. After consulting with
competent teachers, your Commit
tee recommends that the Moki
hana Club write to the Supt. of
Public Instruction, stating the ob
jections to these Readers arid re
questing that the Department in
vestigate other Readers and fiud
something more adapted to local
conditions. We would recom
mend that the Riverside Series, the
Gordon Series, and also the Read
ers used in the Philippines be con
sidered. The latter, we under
stand, wert written especially for
the Filipinos and are giving excel
lent results, and may prove adapt
ed to this country. We would
recommend also thai a regular
Reader be placed in the hands of
the 5th. 6th and 7th Grades to be
used instead of the poems now
given for these grades. At pres
ent the children of these grades
are spending tod much time on a
few poems each year and need the
wider range of subject-matter a
Reader offers. W,e would depre
cate, however, making any change
whatever in the Readers until a
thorough investigation has been
made and something suitable se
cured. In the past too many ex
periments have been made, to the
detriment of the schools and caus
ing needless expense to the pupils.
We believe a more suitable set of
Readers can, upon careful inves
tigation, be secured.
"Kimball's Grammar, which is
placed in the 6th Grade in the
hands of the teacher only, but in
the 7th and Sth given to the pupils
also is too comprehensive, too diffi
cult and too technical for our
schools. It presupposes previous
work and takes up in some cases
advanced work before the simpler.
It is impossible to complete in the
7th and 8th Grades the work
allotted by the Course of Study,
arid the pupils spend an immense
amount of time iu the study of the
text with n o practical results.
They commit to memory a quan
tity of Definitions, which do not
aid them in the Correct use of
English. While not prepared to
advise the adoption of any other
book, we would recommend that
the Hoard investigate, with a view
to securing something simpler and
more practical. The need of ac
quiring a common working knowl
edge of good English in our schools
is so great that we deplore time
wasted upon technicalities.
