FAMOUS TEACHERS
Col. Francis W. Parte and Wife
for Soner School.
AT THE HEAD OF THE LIST
Principal of Chicago Normal School.
A Writer and Trainer of Wide
Repute Mrs. Parker.
During the 1898 term of the Summer
School here, the teachers of the Isl
ands will have the fine privilege of in
struction by Col. Francis W. Parker
and Mrs. Frances Stuart Parker.
This arrangement has been made by
Inspector General Townsend. There is
no likelihood of a mishap. Colonel, and
Mrs. Parker refused between a score and
half a hundred other offers. Their de
sire to visit the country, coupled with
the insistence of Mr. Townsend won
the day for the teachers of the Repub
lic.
Colonel Parker has been in education
work since a very young man, except
ing for the time he was in the Civil
war.
In 1872, Colonel Parker entered King
William's University at' Berlin, where
he spent two and one-half years in the
study, of Psychology, Philosophy, His
tory and Pedagogics. Under a private
teacher he took a two years' course in
the Hegelian philosophy. During his
vacations he traveled over the contin
ent, visiting schools and studying the
art, geography and history of the vari
ous nations visited. He returned to
America in 1875.
He was elected Superintendent of
Schools of Quincy, Massachusetts, and
began his work April 20th, 1875. Col
onel Parker was exceedingly fortunate
in his position in Quincy, the town
had never before had a sueprintendent
of schools, but had one of the best and
strongest of school boards that was
ever elected. John Quincy Adams,
Charles Francis Adams, and James H.
Slade were the principal members.
They put the school and teachers en
tirely under Colonel Parker's direction
and supported him in a very hearty
and earnest way.
In entering upon his work in Quincy,
Colonel Parker had no notion of mak
ing any particular changes or of op
posing in any way the general work
then done in the New England States.
He simply tried to apply well-known
principles, and to train his teachers.
The result is well known; during the
period of three years of 187-9-80, over
30,000 visitors inspected the schools of
Quincy. Charles Francis Adams wrote
two pamphlets in regard to the work
done. Colonel Parker has always as
serted that he was introducing nothing
new, no new principles or methods; he
was simply applying, carrying out,. the
recommendation of the great educators
of the past, Comenius, Pestalozzi and
Froebel. In 1880 he was made one of
the Supervisors of Schools of Boston,
and was placed in charge of the prim
ary schools of the North End of South
Boston. His work in the "Athens of
America" met with fierce and prolong
ed opposition by the teachers especially
of the principals of the schools; but
notwithstanding this opposition, he
was re-elected for a second term. The
position of Supervisor was not, to say
the least, what he wanted. He wanted
to come in closer contact with the
schools, that he might verify the sus
picions of better things which he
thought were in store for the children.
He was offered the superintendency
of schools of Philadelphia but declined
to accept it. He was then offered the
position of Principal of the Cook Coun
ty Normal School at a salary of
o,000 a year. The Cook County
Normal School had had a struggling
existence for 15 years; it was born in
tne travail or a Ditter ngnt, and Uvea
indomitable love of its Principal, Dr.
D. S. Wentworth. Colonel Parker's
friends, especially Charles Francis
Adams, opposed very strongly his ac
ceptance of this position; but he looked
upon Chicago as the "storm center" of
civilization; he could be brought close
to children in the Practice School; and.Mauna Loa from Kona and Kau last
he could enter upon that which he be-

Just before entering on his new work
in Chicago, he married Mrs. M. Frances
Stuart, a former pupil and assistant of
Iewis Monroe, and the first assistant
in the Boston School of Oratory. Mrs.
Parker is one of the leading exponents
of the Delsarte System of Expression. a closing concert was given at Ka

band and has contributed not a little '
to the Doctrine of Concentration that . a success in every way. Notable pro-
is now working out in the methods of
the Cook County Normal School.
Colonel Parker beeran his duties in
the Cook County Normal School Janu
ary 1st, 1S83. The opposition begun
with his predecessor, has been contin
ued throughout the thirteen years of
his principalship of the Cook County
Normal School. He has been bitterly
opposed by the conservatism of good
and honest citizens in his new and
scientific methods of teaching; he. has
also been more bitterly opposed by
the malice of a few miserable politici
ans whose chief duty seems to be to
wreck and destroy all effects of educa
tional progress, men who make teach
ers cowards. The County School Board
who engaged Colonel Parker, of which
Washington Hesing, the present Post
master of Chicago, Colonel Henry Do
novan, and Dr. Champlin were mem
bers, heartily supported him in his
work.
Some five years ago, supported by a
thoughtful Board of Education, Colonel
Parker secured an excellent corps of
teachers and began to develop a theory
of education, which has now received
the name of Theory of Concentration.
Colonel Parker is the author of
"Talks on Teachings," "Practical
Teacher," "How to Study Geography,"
Outlines in Geography," Tract on
"Spelling," and "Talks on Pedagogics.
He has visited every State in the Uni-
on. and lectured before Institutes and
Conventions in most of them. A few
of his lectures may be here mentioned:
"The Child and Nature," "The Child
and Man," "Artist or Artisan,-
Which?" "Home and School." "The
Ideal School," "Educational and Dem
ocracy. He is also tne editor of a
unique' publication called the "Cook
County Normal School Envelope,"
which shows the development of Con
centration in the Cook County Nor
mal School, month by month.
Luck for Bartlett.
The Mariposa brought news of a rich
'strike" in the Ruby mine in one of the
productive districts of Montana. See
ing the note, W. S. Bartlett, who is
with Williams, the protographer, was
reminded that he had some old mining
certificates stowed away. He looked
up the package and found as one of the
papers a certificate for 1,100 shares of
the capital stock of the company owing
the Ruby mine. Mr. Bartlett anxiously
awaits news confirming the strike and
has the very best wishes and warmest
congratulations of those .who know
him.

Cashier E. A. Jones.

The foregoing list shows the com

P. C. JONES.
Hawaii. The four officers first named
are also ex-officio members of the di
rectorate. The charter was accepted
from the Minister of Interior at a meet
ing held in the new bank's offices yes
terday afternoon. It is expected that
the Bank of Hawaii will be ready for
business in the Safe Deposit Building
on Fort street on the 27th inst
P. C. Jones is president of Brewer &
Company, and has been at the head of
the Hawaiian Safe Deposit and Invest
ment Company since its organization.
He has been in business in the Islands
for 40 years. J. B. Atherton is presi
dent of Castle & Cooke, is prominent in
the Ewa plantation corporation and
has long been associated in business
here from his youth. E. A. Jones has
long been associated in business close
ly with his father, P. C. Jones. Clarence
H. Cooke is the son of C. M. Cooke and
since he returned here from college has
been with the Safe Deposit company.
He is a young man of fine promise
Fred W. Macfarlane was born in Ha
waii and has been in the commercial
world here since he was but a lad. He
is connected with the Hawaiian hotel,
Macfarlane & Company, and the Union
Feed Company. E. D. Tenney is an of
ficer of Castle & Cooke and Ewa plan
tation, and one of the live young busi
ness men of the country. Henry Wa
terhouse is the head of the Waterhouse
Investment Company and has large
plantation, land and other business in
terests in Hawaii. He was brouerht
here by his father when yet an infant
T. May is at the head of the old gro
eery house of T. May & Comany, and is
a wealthy kamaaina. C. Bosse is con
uected with the big importing and ship-
Png house of Hackfeld & Company.
This bank will be the only corpora-
tion in that line of business here. It is
chartered under a special act of the Le
gislature. This law differs very much
from the ordinary corporation enact-.
ment. Its requirements are numerous
and comprehensive. It was necessary
to complete the organization of the
company before the charter was solic
ited from the Government. Then there
was careful search to satisfy all that
every requirement of the details of the
law had been followed. There are a
! number yet to be observed. These in
clude the counting of the money by the
Minister of the Interior. Captain Kine
will find quite a little job for himself
some morning in the near future. The
capital stock of the Bank of Hawaii,
Limited, is $400,000 of which 300,000 is
to be paid in at once.
P. C. Jones is father of the plan for
another bank for the city and has been
giving the project much attention for a
number of months. It was necessary
for him to make one trip to the Coast.
This resulted in establishing correa- y
pondence relations with Wells Fargo.
At tf. I. J. M.s Legation.
Mr. Shimamura, the Japanese Minis
ter was affable as usual yesterday.
when an Advertiser representative call
ed at the Legation on Nuuanu avenue
and Kaukinl road. The diplomat had
received a very bulky package or dis
patches from Toklo. Much of the cor
respondence, related to the "affai,
pending between this Government and
Japan. Mr. Shimamura said his ad
vices were lengthy and that it would
be a matter of two weeks before he
would have ready a communication for
the Foreign Office here.
Funeral Service.
There was a large attendance upon,
the funeral of the late John M. Angus
yesterday afternoon. Pacific Lodge of
Masons was out in full force and other
lodges of the city were well represent
ed. Friends of the family came from
all over the city. Brief, but eloquent
and feeling remarks were made by Rev.
D. P. Birnie. The Masonic services
were held at the cemetery There, was
a large number of beautiful floral of
ferings. The pall bearers were Minis
ter J. A. King, Col. J. H. Soper John
Cassidy, J. A. Lyle, L. L. La Pierre and
C. B. Ripley.
Fast Football.
The High School defeated the Royal
school in a football game at the base- .
ball grounds yesterday, by a score of
20 to 0. Robert King was captain of
the winners and Richard Rice led the
losing eleven. There were no Injuries.
The Royal boys were heavier, but had
no skill at the game to speak of and
declined to play the second half. The
star play of the day was made by En
Chang of the High School, who made a
run of 60 yards. The feature was tbe
perfect Interference of the High School
team.
Not the Queen.
Although the P. M. S. S. China made
a very quick trip across irom Yoko
hama, she has by no means made the '
best record when it is a mere matter
of speed, on the Pacific ocean. On July
1, 1897, the Empress of Japan made 441
knots on the trip from Vancouver to
Yokohama, and the whole voyage was
made in 10 days, 3 hours and 39 min
utes. The average throughout the trio
was 17.57 knots, this after six years'
service. The fastest day on the last
trip of the China to this port was 427
knots.
Collision Settlement.
There is no longer any question as to
where the fault lay in the recent col
lision between the steamers Lehua and
Kaala, which resulted quite seriously
for the latter. The steamship com
pany to which the former steamer be
longs, yesterday handed over damage
money to the I. I. S. N. Co. and now all
things are at rest. '' The sum paid could
not be learned. Everyone was for
'keeping mum."
