Some School Matters in Waimea
District
A I'KTHOSPECT.
Judge C. B. HofgaarJ, IVaimea, Kauai.
(Continued from last week,)
A teacher stand before tin class
all forenoon nnd pretends to know
everything correctly, to net correct
ly and is trying to make tlie chil
dren believe that they think she is
trying to make the children believe
that they think correctly, anil this
is proper. Now, after having done
. this for n number of years they be
gin to think that they actually do
know everything, while as a matter
of fact, they are getting more ami
more unpractical and queer, as a
rule, the longer they stay in the
profession. There is no class of
people more cock-sure about the
correctness of their ideas, than a
teacher, because they must appear
ho lefore the childen. Let me
give you a few examples. A new
sehoolhouse was built in this dis
trict. It was all right for six or
Hcven years, till we got a new teach
er, who found there was not enough
light in the rooms, as all the win
dows were on one side, so he insist
ed on getting some windows on the
other side. H was done. He stay
ed only a couple of years and then
we got another, who found the
bright light in the rooms injurious
to the eyes of tlie teachers and tlie
pupils and had the windows painted
with green paint. The next princi
pal found the rooms were, stuffy, al
though windows wen; open on two
sides in each room, and he there
fore had a lot of air-holes cut in the
walls. The next found the rooms
too gloomy and dark anil had tlie
green paint rubbed off the windows.
The next one advanced the idea of
making ventilation openings near
the floor; this caused a frightful
draft and one of the teachers near!
died and several of the pupils got
sick. I could not convince onyoiu
of these wiseacres of his or her
mental deficiency; they were all
good teachers, but according to me
very poor architects and lacking
somewhere like the most of us
When I was School Agent I had to
grin and bear it and humor them
as far as 1 could ; still at time it
was puzzling to know when to al
low them materials and mechanics
to make the ''Improvements," with
capital "I."
It was not only with the teachers
I had puzzling problems; the De
partment also gave me a few. The
different Superintendents of Public
Instruction have, according to me,
lacked common everyday common

use, probably because they were
old teachers. Many years ago we
had one Superintendent who had a
mania for Manual Training. The
schools were supplied with a lot of
good tools, which, for want of use
and from lack of care, rusted away
or got lost in the different schools.
I remember particularly a lot of
line carpenter tools were sent to
Kekaha school, and there was not a
teacher in that school who had any
thing but the theoretical knowledge
that a nail should be hit on the
head in order to drive it into wood,
but not one of them could drive a
nail so it would hold anything to
gether. Money was spent in such
foolish ways, and at the same time
buildings and fences went to ruin
for want of timely repairs, houses
and fences looked shabby for the
want of a little paint and white
wash. We wanted a larger appro
priation for repairs, but money was
fooled away on the novel fad of
manual training outfits, that no
teacher knew how to use.
We are, however, improving. We
have a very able Superintendent of
Public Instruct ion (he is not an
old teacher). I think tlie system
of supervising principals a good one;
we have a good teaching force get
ting more and more able to wrestle
with the problem of imparting
knowledge to our polyglot popula
tion. We should all be very Care
ful in criticizing the Department
and the Superintendent of Public
Instruction, as he has to deal with
a lot of queer people. 1 speak from
an experience ol twenty years or
more of actual service in the De
partment in some capacity or other.
There used to be a great deal of
criticism of the Department before

We accused them of taking all the
best in the land for Honolulu and
sending the balance out to the out
lying Island, but now tlie Commis
sioners come from the different Is
lands an. I since the care of the
school property is in the hands of
the Board of Supervisors of the
counties we now have better teach
ers, better school buildings and bet
ter equipment . Hawaii lias heen
enjoying a great deal of prosperity
an el theiountv of Kauai has al
ways had a line county administra

and, as far as I know, we are better
off than any other part of the Terri
tory of Hawaii. I thank vou.
