THE GARDEN ISLAND TUESDAY. FEBRUARY , 1916, Teachers' Convention (Continued from page 1.) the information on that important matter. He explained that any teacher havine taught thirty years, twenty years of which must have been in the Hawaiian Islands, af ter she or he has paid a yearly amount of one per cent of his or ber yearly salary, shall be entitled to a pension of $400 every year, unless the salary is less than $ 1000. He compared this law with the pension laws in the other states and territories, and brought out the fact that the teachers receive far more than they put into the fund. He stated that compulsory payment into the pension fund is the most satisfactory method, E. Allen Creevev, discussed Vo cational Education very thorough ly. He stated that the United , States has been behind in many ways in this movement and that Germany has held the highest lace for a number of years. He read and explained the Vocational Education Bill recently presented to Congress and the results that will follow its passing. Manual training, the pre-vo ca tional work, better adapts the boy for his later life than anv other type of school training, because it involves the use of his head, heart and hand. A plan is now under consideration by which a boy may be able to receive a-diploma, for annual training work in the grades that would admit him to the ad vanced vocational schools without his having graduated in the academ ic subjects. This gives the boy of small mental ability, an oppor tunity to advance into profitable work. In regard to the work done on Kauai this year he said that $800 had been spent in new equip ment besides the tools in the Ka uai High School. A sleeping porch was built on the Waimea Princi pal's cottage, during the erection of which the boys worked by a reg ular building schedule and kept a week ahead of it. In Makaweli a garden has been planted, in Eleele the school cot tages repaired and various ai tides of furniture made; in Koloa lack of a shop and equipment has pre vented a great deal of work being done; in Lihue, the boys of the government school have made ar ticles of furniture and the High School boys have a garden and are making their shop benches, and in Kapaa an excellent garden is kept up and articles of furniture made In the shop. School kitchens are working in the Waimea school and olans are made to have them in other schools. The surprise of the afternoon came with the last number on the m-oeram. ''Kauai Schools before Annexation" by Mr. W. H. Rice. Sr. After preparing his audience for a lengthy address, he spoke not more than five minutes, to the astonishment and disappointment of his hearers. He said that the first chool was established in 1824 and that the education was carried on by the pupils of the missiona ties going into the various districts and conducting schools. In 1886 and 1890 when all able bodied men of voting age were registered, only two on the whole island could not read or write in their own langu age. One of the early English school was established by Mr. Knudsen of Kekaha and there was another English school in Koloa where the master was incapable of using cor rect English sentences. Mr. Rice closed his brief talk with a clever nnprriste concerning the Utter schoolmates. Previous to the tegular after noon program, the morning pro gram was completed, Mrs. H. C Brown of Waimea read a paper on Hygiene, "the most vital subject in the grades." Hygiene should be taught in the lower grades iu order that it might influence the health and strength of the children when they are young. Supervising Principal H. H Brodie read a paper on Playground English in which he advocated that correct habits of speech could be formed by caieful supervision of the children's language on the playground during their games. The children themselves should be taught to correct their own and other children's mistaken, and the ncorrect forms should never be repeated. The teacher, however, must be the pivot upon which all the activities should turn, and every teacher should systematically fight the pidgen english on the stands. The entertainment committee for the next association meeting was announced including Mr. Brodie as chairman, and Mrs. Heanv. Miss Lee, Miss Hundley and Mr. very. Miss Marjorie Wood of Huleia sang 'The Banjo Song" and 'Someone is Calling Me" mot charminglv. Mr. H. C. Brown offered the use of the Waimea school for the meeting place for the convention next year. The question box was a feature ot the afternoon, in which questions of all nds wete answered by Mr. Knudsen, Mr. Brandt and Mr. Brodie. The singing of Aloha Oe ended he program for the afternoon.
