Mr. Towii'-cnd'b letter, in another column, is suggestive of the advan tages, and possibly of the necessity for si new departure in educational methods, all along the line of public education. That the importance of primary education has only begun to dawn upon the promoters of learning everywhere is sulllciently attested by the great age and world wide fame of such institutions as the university of Paris, the colleges of Oxford and Cambridge, and the great universities of Germany, as compared with the time when civili zation began to provide for the in struction of the middle and lower classes of society. The parish schools in Scotland, centuries ago, and the beginning of free schools in Now England, at later dates, may be traced to a common origin. "While the systems referred to led the way in this great movement, they have been somewhat closely imitated by this time, in many other countries. But there still lurks in all tb-rcat educational systems of the such an institution. Training col leges, normal schools, or seminaries, as they arc synonymously desig nated in Eugland, the United States and Germany, arc among the indis pensable outfit of their systems of public education. Without Ihciu, their public schools would be all but worthless. In these institutions, the future teachers of the country arc set to acquire the technical knowledge peculiar to their proposed calling. Their diplomas from these institutions are supposed to be good ccililicates that they know what they have to do and also how to do it. The geographical position of thee islands, ought, of itself, to be a stilllcient argument in favor of the existence of Irniiiinu schools. The public educational system of the Hawaiian Islands cannot be expect ed ever to become thoroughly na tionalized and incorporated into the life of the country, until it is pro vided with the elements of self-extension and self-perpetuation. These elements, it has been fully demon strated in the experience of the three bent educated nations in the world, are supplied only in thor oughly equipped and ellicicnlly maintained training schools. POLICE COURT. TiitjiiSiuY, July Htli. The bag of effects mentioned yes terday being produced, Ah Nee was found guilty of having opium in possession. ' He was lined $100 and Sl.rtO costs, and sentenced to im prisonment at, hard labor two months. Appeal noted. This was the casu of opium found in bamboo slicks under the false bottom of a trunk, at the quarantine station. A young woman was charged with larceny of some dress-making ma terial from Mrs. Gaseoyne. Ash ford & Ashford appeared for defendant, who was remanded until the 10th inst. As there would seem to bo some misunderstanding at the back of this case, the defendant's name is withheld until after the trial. Ah Sam, Ah Ha and Pong Nam were charged with larceny of ducks, property of Ltin Look Ken, valued at SI fit)'. They were remanded until the 10th inst. ' It seems that a large number of ducks from different ranches became mixed in the late storm, and defendants retain in all lot) ducks that complainant claims as his property. Dr. Trousseau, in a letter to the Advertiser, declares German meas les, known to the faculty as liothclu, had been prevalent here long before the arrival of the Vamashiro Maru. He shows, by citation of dates, that Mrs. Inouye. one of the passengers, who was ill of the disease while here, must have contracted it on shore. A Bridgeport druggist claims to have discovered a compound which, applied to a baseball, will make it luminous.

XTOTICE is hcicby given JL partnership heretofore world, a sort of undercurrent of the old prevailing idea that primary edu cation is of subordinate importance, and can bo carried on by workers of little or no experience in the leach ing profession, while all the enthu siasm and ability that can be enlisted in the service must be located in the higher grades. To any person who has devoted attention to the matter, our correspondent's remarks will at once commend themselves as self- evident truths. In acquiring know ledge, the mind, whether it be encased in a Hawaiian or a Cauca sian skull, undergoes certain pro cesses and perforins certain acts. "What these processes and these acts are can be understood and appre ciated only by those who have studied them with close attention, and from the premises of well estab lished scientific facts. And who ever professes to direct these phases of the mind without knowing what they arc, may safely be made stand aside as an educational quack. To know the operations of the mind, and the processes by which it as similates and develops thought is the first qualification of the teaching practitioner, just as in the training of medical men, Anatomy and Physiology, the sciences treating of the structure of the body and its functions in a state of health, stand at the head of their list of studies. And the second point of qualifica tion is a knowledge of the methods by which the powers of the learner's - mind are brought into vigorous and healthy action. This second quali fication is clearly of greater practi cal value, but is far more dillleult to acquire than the first. The one qualification, according to Stowc's ' training system, is embodied iu a knowledge of the science, tho other consists in proficiency In the art of education. That an able scholar must, of necessity, be an able teacher, is a theory long since ex ploded, although, at the same time, it is a well recognized fact that to be an able teacher, one must be a thorough scholar in tho branches of education ho professes to teach. Mr. Townsend thinks, in connection with these facts, that the tiuio has come, iu this Kingdom, when a training school should bo established. With repoct to that question, the wonder is how the educational machinery )rh been able to run so long without TRAILING FOR TEACHINC. Lonon Btu.i.r.Tix: Nothing is causing more thought in educational circles of the present than primary teaching. The small percentage of children who pass through all the primary grades, and enter upon tlie grammar course, emphasizes the im portance of this branch of the teacher's work. And the great im portance of early training in the formation of character is coming to have a more practical recognition of late years. The persistent assertion of the great importance of the first few years of training, and the founding of the kindergarten to meet the demand for such training, created an era in the world's educa tional history, and secured lasting fame to the pioneers of this import ant movement. Due appreciation of primary work has given the Quiney schools a wide celebrity. The time is past when intelligent people who have to do with schools think that an educated person is necessarily prepared for teaching and that any teacher can conduct a primary school. This'being the case, it will be seen that there arc somewhat more than one hundred places to be filled by the government alone, with trained teachers. Yet there is no training school of any kind in the kingdom. Has not the time come when the requirement is sufficient to justify, nay, demand, the founding of such an institution'!1 Tho stress of the times justifies all necessary economy ; but is it economy to send to America for a part of the teachers of this Kingdom, and entrust the remainder of the work to those who have made no special preparation for the duties of their profession? Besides, it is possible to have something iu this lino at a trilling expense. There are places in America where two or three rooms are placed under the care of a thoroughly qualified and well paid teacher and a number of unpaid apprentices or pupil teachers. One of these, which, from personal knowledge, J can say is doing good work in the prepara tion of teachers, results in an actual saving, since the whole cost of sup porting the school is less than the aggregate salaries of the three paid teachers who formerly taught in tho rooms now occupied by the training class. This may not be the best plan. But it would certainly lie like tho proverbial half loaf. This exact plan may not be practicable here. But some modification of it is possible. llnsur S.
