READERS TO HAVE CHANCE
TO VOICE OPINIONS ON
IDENTITY OF "SPECTATOR"
Tho "Spectator's" letter about
married women tcachors has caus
ed much comment pro and con on
tho subject and also thoro has boon
a great deal of conjecture as to
whom tho "Spectator" might bo.
Tho Garden Island has decided to
allow Its readers a chanco to volco
their opinion as to tho Identity of
the Spectator and tho result of
these ballots will be published in
tho Garden Island.
Thero will bo no strings to this
offer and it Is not nocossary for
anyone to sign their name to the
ballot. It is tho wish of tho Gardin
Island to sound out tho community
as to Us opinion on tho identity of
the spectator.
It has been suggested that the
one receiving the highest number of
votes be given a tickot to Honolulu
but tho Garden Ialand is not behind
any such offer.
Portia and tho Second Spectntor
may bo voted for If desired. Uno
this ballot:
Editor, Garden Island.
In my opinion tho Spectator Is:
THE HUMAN ANIMAL IS LAZY
MAY START BUREAU
FOR RESEARCH WORK
IN EDUCATION FIELD
A bureau of educational research
may soon bo established in con
nection with the University of Ha
waii according to Information at
the department of public instruc
tion today.
Establishment of the bureau has
already been advocated by tho Ha
waii Education Association and Dr.
Kathcrlno Murdock, mental expert
who has been In tho Islands for
some months. Tho school depart
ment Is beginning to receive let
ters from well known local educa
tors advocating tho idea.
One of those who endorses tho
proposition Is Benjamin O. Wist,
principal of the territorial normal
and training school. In a letter to
the department he says in part:
"No slnglo factor In education has
done so much good to our schools
as the measurements factor, both
Portia: ' ,
A Second Spectator:
mental mcasurcmentes and measure
ments of achievement In the school
subjects. The establishment of a
bureau of research Is decidedly a
step In the right direction.
"It will, of course, take some time
before the accurate measuring of
our Hawaiian school children can
be efficiently and consistently done,
but tho normal school is placing
due emphasis on this important
subject, and In a comparatively short
time a great many of our teachers
will be familiar with the subject
and under the direction of the sug
gested bureau of research will be
able to classify and grade children
In such a way as to help the indi
vidual materially and at tho same
time save the tax payers consider
able money, due to the lessened am
ount of retardation which will re
BUlt."
Tho psychologists havo discover
ed that tho human animal does no
moro than ho has to.
In other words, he is lazy.
Of course, most of us know this
long ago, but it is interesting to
havo tho scientists glvo us tholr
O. K.
Tho1 learned men put it this way:
All men ovhlblt a tendency toward
minimum effort.
It seems that tho avorage mna,
working under ordinary conditions
does just enough to got by.
Now and then there 1b an excep
tional man who does not like nn
easy time. Such a man analyzes
himself and comes to tho conclu
sion that If ho Is going to do any
reol work he must throw a scare
into himself.
So ho doos daring th.ngs. Ho ex
pands his business rapidly, He bor
rows money In largo gobn. IIo takes
long chances, betting on himself
to make good.
oFarlng tho consequences of possl
iblo failure, ho Is nblo to generate
more energy. When it's a case of
sink or swim, wo can swim a long
way.
Tho psychologists say: Men do
tholr gost thinking when thuy'rj
frightened.
As an ' example of how truo this
is, I call your attention to a state-,
ment which was recently mado by
the sales manager of u western con
cern. "Wo novor hire a salesman whoso
wife works," said tho man. "It has
been our expcrlenco with men of
this typo that they are usually fail
ures. Either they lack pride or flht
lng spirit, or else they are shiftless.
The home-making, home-loving sales
man not only says put but has a
greater Incentive to get ahead than
the salesman who doesn't care."
Not a few far-seeing men are of
tho opinion that Germany will make
great progress during the next 25
years, just because she la carrying
a back-breaking load.
She has got to work in order to
live, and her very burdens may be
her salvation.
France has made her greatest
strides after tho Franco-Prussian
war, while tho advancement In our
own nation after the Civil War as
tonished tho world.
All this means, It It means any
thing, that big responsibilities, lots
of work, hard problems, make strong
men.
Novor lot your Job or your busi
ness get too small for you.
It wo can believe the psychologists
the only way to stay nwako is to
expand your job or your business
to conform with your own expansion.
