a pretty good show, though not as
good as some expected. On Saturday
evening a large crowd attended. the
play being 'Davy Crockett" Those
who attended say the company did
better than in .'Montezuma." The
band and orchestra music was ex

length, a stretch of land that for ex-
tent, fatness, fertility, ard rainfall
is probably unequalled by any sim
liar stretch in the kingdom-a field
whose resources when developed
will find an outlet in this road and
make Hilo a busy port"
1t is the same old story regarding
the great value OF roads, whether
steam or horses be employed as the
motive power of locomotion. Roads
are levers by which the material
wealth Of all countries is realized,
and there are few signs of barbar-
ism so apparent to the traveller as
bad and insufficient highways.
Lands locked up in unapproachable
recesses, no matter how much may
be their intrinsic or abstract worth,
have no value to country until
opened up by easily traversed roads.
There are many other sections in
each of the islands of this group,
that have equally good lands as the
section alluded to by our correspon-
dent; but much of the good land has
not yet been accessible by means of
sufficiently good roads. The land
bordering upon the volcano road now
being made accessible, has hitherto
been hardly fit for grazing pasture
owing to the rank growth of ferns
and ii plants by which it is yet
covered; but when the road enables
settlers to work this rich soil profit
ably, these wild plants will no longer
cumber the ground, and waving
crops of cane and other profitable
island produce will be spread over
the entire area. Stretching off from
the Volcano road some twenty or
thirty miles to the southeast, tow
ards Puma, is tract large enough to
settle all the Portuguese, Chinese
and japanese now on the islands,
and give them profitable employ
ment in small farming industries,
provided good roads be constructed |
to move their produce to market. |
1t would be an interesting calcula-
ton, for anyone who can spare the
time, to figure out how many mil
lions of dollars annually are locked
up on these islands in lands that are
not used up for want of roads. The
would doubtless be aston
shing, and as the present admins
ration seems to be in earnest re-
garding energetic action in this i'm
1ortant matter we have great hope
hat in few years the appearance of
Hawaiian landscapes will be greatly
changed and the production of the
ands very largely increased afford
ng many more homes to industri-
JUS settlers, and greater facilities for
'eaching the interior districts.
The Hawaiian gazette., 1889-06-25

it all the makeShift expenditure OF years
thrown away, which might have been
saved had the change been made at the
start. And vet that is just what can be
seen daily in some districts.
Never, l suppose, in this country has
a task of road making been undertaken
OF such magnitude as that now in pro-
cess of construction from Hilo to the
Volcano What it will be and what it
will do for the country it is perhaps pre-
mature as yet to say. But if continued
and finished on the lines on which it has
been begun, and with such experienced
and energetic supervision as that OF the
present builder, it will be a comfortable,
beautiful and creditable road such as
can hardly fail to attract travel. But it
is a great work, and necessarily slow Of
achievement. There are difficulties to
be met that will lead only to hard labor,
and plenty of it; and no one should be
disappointed because it is not finish I'd in
few months, or with the present appro
priation 1t is being built on sound
principles OF permanence and endurance,
of sufficient width, and easy grades
suitable for heavy traffic, if need be;
and such road, like all government
constructions, is not thing of mush-
room growth, but requires time and
money.
Perhaps not by any means the least
important result this road will have,
though generally overlooked, is the fact
that it will open up for agriculture more
productive land than any road or rail-
way ever projected in this country. 1t
will border for a good part of its entire
length stretch of land that for extent,
flatness, fertility, and rainfall is prob
abyl unequalled by any similar stretch
in the kingdom: field whose resources
when developed will find an outlet in
this road and make Hilo the busy port
she has long sspired to be.

A BEAUTIFUL TRIBUTE.
NoSIAD.

| Elsewhere will be found Captain
Kane's narrative of the escape OF
the Calliope from Apia Harbor, dur
ing the memorable hurricane OF
March last. Below we copy from
the London Daily Telegraph, the
most eloquent tribute yet published
to the heroism displayed in that try
ing time by the sailors of all the
naval ships that were there.
"Consider the scene and the
matchless heroism and generosity of
this Yankee crew. Almost sure of
instant death themselves, they could
see the Queens ship at her utmost
steanl-pressure fighting, fathom by
fathom, her way to life and safety,
could appreciate the gallantry of the
effort, cheer the brave, handsome
ship defying the hurricane, and,
finally, see her glide past, overcom-
ing the roll of the sea and the savage
wind with the generous pleasure OF
true mariners, glad Of smart and
daring deed. We do not know in all
naval records any sound which
makes finer music upon the ear
than that cheer of the Trenton's
men. 1t was distressed manhood
greeting triumphant manhood, the
doomed saluting the saved; it was
pluckier aud more human than any
cry ever raised upon the deck of a
victorious ine-of battle-ship; it never
can be forgotten, and never must be
forgotten, by Englishmen speaking
of Americans. Sure we are that the
echo of that noble 'Huzzaw must
have made every man on board the
Calliope long to lay hold of the
Trenton, and give her a cast out at
any cost beyond the dreadful reef
1t was, however, all she could do to
clear her American consort; to have
towed behind even a gig or a dingey
would have certainly lost the battle
she was waging foot by foot against
the hurricane. Her mighty engines,
pressed to their utmost, saved her at
last; little by little she struggled out
to the seagate, and, once free of the
reef, a bit of head-sail flung her bow
to the wind, which soon aided the
painting engines to drive her far
away to seward, out of all danger.
But let landsmen realise how that
was won. Let them think of
the stokers toiling in the tossing
engine-room, urging the fierce fur
naces; of the engineers driving up
the steam-guage, risking deadly ex-
plosiOn to save life and the ship; of
the officers and crew on deck, hardly
sure that the vessel stole forward an
inch upon the reef, hardly able to
see. or speak, or stand, but doing
their duty perfectly to their Queen,
and with breath and heart enough |
to answer that noble 'God-speed' of |
the Yankee flagship. Since seafar-
ing began there never was a wilder
sight than Apia harbor that 18th of |
March, nor any nearer touch-and-go |
escape than the skilful start of the |
nor any more gallant, gen
erous, and unselish demonstration |
than the cheer which the Trenton |
gave the Queens cruiser as she
forged ahead out of that death-trap |
Of storm and ruin between the reef |
and the town"

PRACTICAL EDUCATION.

In the present college and school
examination period, few brief re-
marks, regarding practical education
of the Hawaiian youth, will not be
out of place. 1t is generally admit
ted that in the advance branches of
educational studies, Hawaiian boys
and girls are remarkably proficient;
and yet, in the cases of many ad
vanced students of our colleges and
schools, the groundwork of subs
tantial education is lamentably def
Gent.
There are many of the male
students who are crammed with
Latin and Greek, mathematics and
the theories of the several sciences,
before they are able to write in
legible handwriting, read OF spell
accurately, and whose knowledge of
business accounts is very little above
zero. For young men about to enter
upon a business career, and will soon
have to begin struggle for existence
in the whirl of the worlds activity,
the higher branches will avail little
if the more generally useful and
practical portion of their education
has been neglected, We are very
far from being opposed to the higher
branches of study; but, nevertheless,
it is a patent fact that education, like
all structures, should be erected
upon a firm foundation-a ground
work of what in these days is regarded
as the elementary or common
branches Of a practical nature. tits
well known that all the professions
are crammed to repletion, and that
only a few, comparatively, of the
young men who enter these arenas
succeed in making a success; and
these unfavorable conditions of pro-
fessional life are increasing in in
tensity owing to modern practice in
the colleges and schools. In other
walks of life, Latin and Greek or
mathematics do not enter very
largely; but young man well versed
in accounts, a good grammarian, and
one that can write in a good and
easily read handwriting, can always
command employment and fair
wages, if he be steady and well be
haved.
The high-class education given to
girls, without fitting them practically
for household duties, also merits
severe criticism. A musical and
education, such as most
young ladies receive nowadays,

The examinations of teachers and
of candidates for teachers positions
which have recently been instituted
in this country have had a good eff
feet. The publication Of the list of
names allows every one in this king
dom to see the degree of literary merit
possessed by the various teachers
who come under examination, and
the modest and unaspiring some
times find themselves far higher
than they expected. OF course such
examinations only shew the literary
capacity and it is by no means a far
gone conclusion that high per-
centage in examination signifies the
best teacher, but, granted teaching
ability. it undoubtedly shews who is
the best equipped teacher. The per
centage obtained by Miss Angela
Crook is the highest yet made at any
examination in this kingdom, and we
congratulate that young lady upon
her success.

The letter of our Portland CORES
pendent will prove interesting to
those who have visited Oregon dur
ing the past few years. The city is
the commercial centre of the State,
and is connected by both rail and
steamboat communication with Cali
fornia and Puget Sound, and also
with the Rocky Mountain Territories
and the eastern States. 1t has a
population of between fifty and sixty
thousand inhabitants, which is being
increased at the rate OF ten thousand
a year. We trust that at no distant
day, Honolulu will be connected by
direct steam communication with
Portland.
