ARBOR DAY.
fOreteII.

We are gratified to learn that the idea
Of establishing a children's festival, to
be called Arbor Day, under the patron
age OF Princess Kaiulani, has not been
abandoned. Steps will be taken shortly
to give it practical effect. Mr.. Jaeger
has selected a well sheltered little valley,
easily accessible from the back of Punch
bowl, from the new road, which will pro-
vide space enough to plant several hun
dred thousand trees. A beginning
will be made there and gradually ex-
tended. Arrangements should be made
by parents and guardians Of children
who intend to participate in this good
work to procure suitable trees for plant
ing out. These may be had at the Gov
eminent nursery. The following varie-
ties are suitable for planting in the val
ley chosen as above stated: Red guaya,
alligator pear, lime, Japanese plum,
silver waffle, bastard cedar, anato
(alaca), pomegranate, bunya bunya, all
eucalypti or varieties of gum trees,
golden wattles, oranges, papaia,
ohias, and even mesquite Ckiawe or al
geroba), samang or monkey-pOd.
Mr.. Jaeger will have holes dug and
every arrangement made to render the
first attempt at tree planting on Arbor
Day a success. Interest once aroused in
this work among young people is certain
to spread and become perpetual Ar
rangements will doubtless be made at
various points on the other Islands to
plant trees on the day agreed upon for
Honolulu. By way of encouragement
we may state that November 9th was
set apart as ArbOr Day at San Francisco.
Preparations had been made for the
transportation of ) 900 school children on
that day to Yerba Buena, better known
as Goat Island, which lies in the Bay al
most in the fair way between San Fran
cisco and Oakland. 1t is treeless, and ii
is proposed TO cover the sheltered slopes
with trees and shrubs. The Command
ant at the Presidio had made prepare
tions for a similar visitation OF children
to that military reservation on the same
day. Holes had been dug in each case,
and laborers employed to complete the
work after the children had planted
their trees. Similar assistance will be
rendered here.

ARouND NIAGARA FALLS.

Changed for the Better During the Past
Two Years-The Cantilever Bridge.
Up at the falls things have changed won
derfully for the better within the past few
years. The general appearance of the place
is more prosperous than l ever saw 1t before.
The liberality of the state of New York has
freed the visitor on the American side from
all the petty tolls and exactions that existed
around the great cataract. All the usual fifty
cent places are free. 1t is rather strange that
this expenditure of, may say, millions, was
due 20 the suggestion of Lord Dufferin when
governor general of Canada, and yet his own
country has not so far followed his advice. A
green fence made of iron now stretches from
the falls two miles down to the old suspension
bridge. This is a great Improvement and
prevents you from tumbhng into eternity by
a false step in the dark, as many persons were
in the habit of doing. Nothing was ever so
serious an interruption of a days pleasure at
Niagara than to take a step off the cliff
l am sorry to say the picturesque stone
towers of the old suspension bridge are being
taken down and in their places steel towers
are to be erected, and the material therefor IL
being constructed at this moment in Detroit
This Improvement will be a wonder of engl.
neering, for the stone towers will he taken
down and the iron towers put in their place
without for a moment interIupting the pas
sage OF a Jraln across Juc deIltl SIi w WI &
The new Cautilever bridge is finished, and
whatever il is as a work of engineering it IS
the most brutally ugly structure that over
has been erected in America which IS saying
a good deal
1t Is painted dull drab color, which adds,
if possible, to its general hideousness. 1t
E1ves the idea of great strength, which, doubt
less, it possesses, but it is angular and bald
and altogether offensive to the eye. In the
capital of Switzerland there is an iron bridgi
which spans the chasm similar TO that OF Nj
agara, but the bridge at Berne springs from
its abutments into beautiful airy and fairy
like arch that Is a pleasure to look at and is as
strong as there is any need for. Instead OF
an arch at Niagara we have ugly angles, and
the bridge looks like a difficult problem in

now underlies our whole existence, Is q
knowledge that got itself taught III hooks
and corners, while the ordained agencies
for teaching have been mumbling little
better than dead formulas 80 II might
be said Of these Islands. that the kind Of
knowledge which moves and directs our
entire industrial development has been
imported from abroad, while our schools
have been mumbIing the dead form Qlas'
that have turned out inferior preachers,
teachers and lawyers.
Taking boys into a taro patch for an
hour or two a day cannot be called Manual
Training, Industrial Education, or any
thing else, and if this be excluded little
has been done under the old system for the
manual trainingof Hawaians. Every kind
Of industrial art Is now done wholly or in
part By machinery. One cannot help but
observe this on visiting the plantations Of
this Kingdom. If our schools, therefore
give direction % that kind Of education other
than the lowest and most brutal kind
they must familiarize the youth with tools,
drawing and machinery. No other COun-
try affords wider SCOPE for the exercise Of
skilled mechanical powers than this. No
people has a greater adaptable aptitude for
such work than Hawaiiaus. The most in
dependent and prosperous Hawaiians in
the Kingdom are the skilled mechanics Of
Honolulu. Some of them are earning
from four TO six dollars per day, and they
az boys began at two dollars per week.
The report from which the above e1-
tract is taken goes on to argue in favor
Of technical school near Honolulu,
modelled on similar institutions in Eng
land and the United States, and does not
approve Of industrial training by appren-
ticeship. We join issue with the writer
on that point. By all means establish
technical schools, but let those who
| have passed beyond school influence be
| taught to work with their hands, not by
/ fits and starts, but continuously Unless
this be done, and unless pupils in a
/ technical school be drafted into the
| workshop from the school, the training
| in the latter will have been in vain. The
/ boys as a rule will sink into idle, good
| for-nothing loafers, and the girls Will fail
/ to fulfil the hope Of their teachers, in be-
coming virtuous wives and mothers
Very much depends upon the influence
OF recognized Hawaiian leaders. l
| Hawaiian youths are encouraged
in habits OF industry and manly
independence we have no fear o
their future if, on the other hand, they
are encouraged to spend their days anC
nights in idleness and dissipation tn,
end is neither distant nor difficult tc
foretell.
