Make Schools Practical
V1' AnUTrain Bos Td Earn .
Their Living By Agriculture
(By Edgar Wood.)
Any proposition fur tlio Introduction
of a now phase of educational effort
ltu thu work of tho schools In liable
to"bu.mfct)iil tho' outset with objections.
'InilliHrttil education, however, In a
subject of mucIi vital Importance to lha
Territory nt the present tlmo that It
serins to warrant n careful considera
tion. The large majority of our fu
ture! cltlr.ciis lire the descendants of
lhnu who linvo omo hern as laborers
c.n the plantations of tho Inland. The
cnit mid aim of the educational effort
employed In tho school system Is to
make of the-se growing Imys und girls
letter men and women than thone who
lini'eiU'il them persons better quail
lied to establish h home, care for and
educate u family and discharge tho
duties of citizenship.
Three H'e.
Academic edtieatlon Is nt host only
n imrtlal nntwer to the demand that
the Individual Im mlucated. It Is only
fupplemental, dealing nlmost exclu
slvely wltli mental nnd moral nctlvl
lies. In Industrial education three
classes of activities are brought Into
piny. They aro tho mental, the moral
and tho physical. Theso aro some
times called the three ll's, tho hoad,
the heart, the hand, In 'contrast to the
threo. It's of tho Academic lino of ef
fort.
Making Farmer. "
Industrial education has for Its prl
mliry aim the making of n farmer. The
fanoeris n man who inal;c& his HvliiK
n the farm. He raises things which
has family nnd lilt stock may eat. In
connection with this growing of the
necessities of life, the farmer raises
some sbrt of "money" crop that nuiy
lie disposed of generally In Ills Irnnw
'illntu neighborhood.
" In contradistinction ito tho farmer Is
the plantert who raises a money crop,
whether of cane, pineapples or to
bacco, and with tho proceeds of thlH
money "crop purchases tho ncccssltlm
ii'r life. The tilanter prevulls nt tho
present time. It Is desirable In the de
velopment of Alueilcnn cltlr.enshlp that
there be developed ii clnss if men
whose llrst busltiesi. Is to make, n llv-
lmr on the! farm by raising things
which the family and stock will need
lis food.
Common School Bmlnttt.
It may be said that It l not tho bus
iness of tho elementary schools to train
mechanics, nor to train farmers. That,
perhaps, may be' conceded : but It Is
tho business of tho common schools to
iui train those attending them us to
.mnko them more effective and re
sourceful In whatever line of work they
may undertake. It Is tho business of
the public schools, which glvo a largo
majority of the school "population oil
the education they ever get In school,
tit definitely train these pupils wltji
referenco to their rrescnt environment.
Time to Change.
Is It not tlmo to change front In our
plan of elementary nnd secondary
school organization? Is It not tlmo to
rcrognl70 tho fact that a system of
puldlc schools should plnn Its course
of Instruction with reference to the
needs of the 98 per cent, of tho pupils
who nttend them nnd who attend no
other school, rnthcr than with refer
enco to the small percentage who go on
to n more ndvaneed work? Is It not
tlmo to recognise that tho present
courso of study open, to children In the
public schools, offering -books as the
only sources of knowledgo and word
ns the only stimulus to mental uctlv-
Ity, almost completely Ignoring envl
lonment lis a sourco of knowledge, a
Mliuulus to thought, and nn Inspiration
to action, Is not tl.o best for nny who
nttend the public schoojs, Irrespective
of whether they go from them to en
gage In their llfcworU or continue their
studies In advanced school? .
What I Farming?
'Dr. Seamen A. Knapp saldi "Agri
culture' may he divided Into eight
parts. One-eighty Is science, three
eighths Is art ami four-eighths Is bus-1
Iness muinigement."
There hus never been n tlmo In the
history of this Territory when the ar
guments for IndmtrUel education could
ba presented with ns' great forco as at
the present time. At no tlmo bsfore
have tho Interests stood fuclng such
problems of competition nnd Industrial
organization as tiiey do today. It I
no longer u question of tho man who
can work tho most linurH and tho hnrd
est. nnr-the number of men employed.
There Is n limited supply of workmen
null un Increufed demand for labor. It
la a question of tho mull who works
for a higher wage, but work morn
elttch'i.tly and therefore at u greater
piollt to the employer.
Looking for Work.
. There tiro In tin, schools of tho Tor
illory about i!.",000 children ns against
about 1.1,000 In DOD, nil annual In
crease of about 1"00 children per yeiir.
The pupils who lenvu the elementary
school nt K. go to schools of n moro
advanced churncler, to work ns un
skilled workers or Join tho ranks of
the unemployed. Of the latter number
the city of' Honolulu bus more than
lls'r'inre, A tour of Inspection through
the pool rooms of tho city between
the hours of 10 and IV n. in, disclosed
the.tdarmlng .fact THAT ALMOST
'1000 HOVH HI.TWRKN IB AND !0'
WUIti: HNHAUKD IN OAMUS Or'
OIIANCi:vor, what Is even "worse, "In
touting.
l'.el us consider n moment what this
means. The perlmt of character tor
motion, Is, speaking generally, coined
lent with one's teen. As tho youth
Is shnped so will tho man be. I'roin
tho rnnkb of the pool players come In
n very large inensuro mo law ureas-
ers and shiftless, ones, who are directly
or Indirectly n charge on tho Territory.
Industrial Work In 8chool.
l'lnns lire under way for tho opening
of a market' to take tho produce of tho
farmers of the Territory. Is It not
IKissllde to encourage tho Industrial
work of the schools so that each school
suitably located could send piodiico to
this market?
. It might be desirable to select from
the different schools of tho city chil
dren of not less than 13 years of ngo
and give them Instruction along Indus
trial lines.
Oovernment land In different parts
of the city might be used for the cul
tivation of tho crops nnd nearby gov
ernment schools for tho academic In
struction. Transportation from a con
venient point In tho city to tho farms
to bo' provided on the Itupld Transit
c.irs: farm work to be carried on from
7 a. m. to 12 m., and classroom work
In tho selected schools from 2 p. in.
to S p. m.
The manna! training shops nttnehed
to tho different city schools could be
used fur Hie work In sewing nnd cook
ing nnd us lunch rooms for the boys.
The girls could prcparo nnd servo tlm
lunclTos it n maximum cost of IS cenlB
per lunch. The pupils doing the work
could be paid, either lit n given rate
per hour or on n profit-sharing basis.
Iosslhly n combination might be
thought deslrnbl) The pupil could be
paid for his work nnd then pay for
his lunches, the rest belonging to him.
Io could thus bo taught to use his
earnings wisely, pay for his legitimate
expenses, glvo u part to his parents
nnd snvo n part. The hoy should bo
tauclit how to earn a wage, how to
take caro of It nnd how to spend It
lo advantage. j
I Fee table.
Hueh a school Is feasoblo and can bo
Hindu to pay all expenses except -sis-slbly
that of Instruction. All neces
sary repairs In Implements used 111 cul
tivation of tho land should bo made,
If pusilhle. by tho boys In a central
shop. All thu farming should bo of nn
Intensive character.
After three or four years of work on
a farm of this kind the boy should bo
given tho choice of going to work on
some chosen lino of work, staying on
thu truck fnrm or going to a school
near one of tho large plantations. This
school would bo Along tho lines stir
tested In the llrst school. Tho land
would be scoured from tho plantation
on tho same or similar terms that are
granted to n hill of laborers who con
tract to grow cane for the plantation.
Tho boy who Is not under 15 years of
age works from 7 to 12 nnd goes to
school from 2 to C. All academic work
Is of u practical nature, and Is closely
related to tho work of thu Industry.
Money Is ndviinced to pay. wages to th
boys pending the hancstlng of the
crop, when each boy rii'elves his share
of the prollts. At any tlmo u boy may.
If he desires, take up regular work
with the Industry, reporting regularly
16 the school. It has been shown In
other countries as well as here that
for n few hours per day nt light work
with competent Instructors u boy from
11 'to 18 years of ago Is n productive
unit equul In value If not excelling the
nvcrngo unskilled laborer.
This plnn, Mr. Kditor, I bellovo would
tuko thei shiftless, non-wnge-vurnlng
boy off our streets and from thu front
of our corner stores nnd tcacli him to
earn n living wngu Instead of being a
mennc to the society of which ho of
necessity forms n part.
