fAt the Hilo Teachers Union meeting
held May 10Th, the following program
was carried out:
Quotations from Horace Mann
Glass in Paper-FOlding. Miss Guild
Readings on Horace Mann. ~
-....... Miss Terry and Miss Lyman
Drawing CLASS ........... Miss DeyO
\ Mind Culture Miss CoaD
A good deal of attention was paid to
the work and influence of the noted ed
ucator, Horace Mann, because the 4th
of May was the centennial of his birth.
He was a Boston lawyer of repute,
and for ten years in the Massachusetts
Legislature, both as Representative and
as Senator. From his position as presi-
dent of the Senate he was elected to the
Board of Education at a salary of 81 900
per annum. For this he gave up the po-
htical and pecuniary prospects of his
life, and to the work of education he
devoted himself from 1887 till his death
in 1859. Through his exertions normal
schools We're established. Time fails to
tell of all the progress made in educa-
tiOnal affairs wherever his spirit or in
f1uence reached. The last words of his
last address were: BE ashamed to die
until you have won some victory for
humanity"
Miss DeyO gave the lesson on draw
ing, taking for pupils teachers who
have been lately studying the Prang
method now used in Honolulu schools.
Children are first to form from clay
the spheres, the cubes and the cylin-
ders, learning at the same time the ac-
companying terms. Afterwards they
learn to draw these forms, and modify
them in pictures of interesting objects,
as fruit, baskets, cups and jugs. The
lesson attracted much attention Some
OF the Hilo schools will use this method
next year.
The paper on mind training, as
prepared by Miss COan, was on the sub
ject of cultivating rather than checking
the imagination of the child, and guild
ing 1t to useful ends. To the child in
school 1t makes geography and history

Death is only Gods tomorrow.
With the hand clasp still warm, with
the echo of a sweet voice still vibrat-
ing in our ears, with the heart throbs
scarcely stilled, our eyes can almost
see the flush of the beautiful new
day that has dawned for our precious
friend and sister Through the gates
Of the morning she entered into radi-
ant life, and now stands in all the
beauty of mature wOmanhOOd, ready
for the higher sphere of existence
awaiting her. Faithful in much on
earth, we know her hands will still
have great employ. There was a va
can't place in the heavenly ranks, that
only she could fill Amid the spirits
lent to beautify the earth hers was
found ready and waiting for the sum-
mons.
Long had she stood on the verge of the
tide,
Eager to cross to the other side;
Gently the waves azure rolled DER her
feet,
Seeming her coming with gladness to
greet.
Gently she passed from the clasp of
each hand,
Only to wake in the sweet morning
land.
But there are shadows and mists of
tears with us who must still abide.
The vacant place on earth will be
hard to fill. The rare judgment, wise
counsel, generous nature, the tact.
ability and loving kindness of this
beautiful woman, have been precious
hpVnn6 To oil
ileged to come within her world. Her
life was all for others. In her bloom
ing girlhood years were spent in as
sisting in the training school for Ha-
waiian' girls at Koloa. Her love for
the Hawaiians never failed. She had
a rare understanding of their national
and a marvellous power
of adapting herself to their friendly
intercourse, so as to influence them
for good This power she had exer-
cised until failing health peremptoriIy
forbade any social relations whatever.
Treasured in love are her sweet words
and deeds,
Ever so ready for life's sorest needs. |
The unwritten histories of her re-
ations with friends of greater or lesses
degree will be reread many times in |
the years to come from memorv's |
page. All! how we shall miss her!

ago. was running n particularly Sc.
lect establishment then in Omaha.
my boarders were pleasant and
congenial, and l liked them all, but
there was one young fellow in whom |
had taken an especial interest. He
was m industrious, wide.awake young
doctor who had won his way TO his
then enviable position, both in his
profession and in society, by dint OF e
dogged perseverance which had finally
overcome all prejudice against HIM
caused by lack of family, money and
influential friends, and had lifted him
to the high notch he was occupying
when | first knew him.
"Our most intimate friends in
Omaha were people named Malsbury.
Mr.. Malsbury had formerly been
closely associated with my husband in
business, and mother was slightly re.
lated to him through marriage, so
there were several reasons for the deep
friendship existing between us. There
were three children in their family
a son and two daughters. the youngest
of whom was a bright, good-looking
girl of about twenty-one. My daugh.
ter Jennie was several years her
junior, and in the beginning of the
acquaintance she conceived for her
one OF those violent attachments which
very young girls are apt to form for
some one of their own sex. Frequent
visits were intel changed, hardly a
week passing without Rose MalsbuIy
spending two or three days with my
daughter and vice versa.

Learning n Foreign Language.

Some interesting statistics might be
collected on the elect upon linguistic
power and accent OF the possession of
a musical ear. 1t would seem that n
person with good ear for music
would be more rapid in the acquire
ment OF foreign tongue, and, having
pcquired it, would possess a more per.
feet pronunciation of the sounds than
would n person not having the same
ready musical gift, says writer in
pearson's Weekly.
Similarly such a person would be
quick to attain the dialect OF the
country in which he might be living
and adapt his speech to the brogue or
provincialism with which he found his
ears surrounded.
The greater rapidity with which
Germans, Poles and Russians learn
the English language is surely not to
be accounted for merely by stating
that their own more nearly resembles
our language than does that of the
French or Italian. A Greek, for in
stance, learns English in about halt
the time it takes an Italian to acquire
French, and Russian will speak
French, English aud German in the
same period that Frenchman will
acquire mere smatteripg OF the two
latter.

Tto Atlanta Constitution says that
the trouble between the Beers and the
British in South Africa has directed
public attention to the Dark Cont.
nent. Twenty years ago very little
was known of Africa. A few explor.
ers penetrated its forests and wrote
books, but the tide Of immigration did
not turn il that direction. Recently
there has been big change in the sit
Vation. The Beers have gained their
Independence, but the British in Cape
Colony have never given up their idea
Of extending their dominion into Cen.
)ral and Eas. Africa, thus establish
Ing an empire extending from Cairo
to the Cape OF Good Hope. The Ger
mans, however, occupy a large portion
OF East Africa, and the Congo Free
State and also the Portuguese pos.
sessions. The discovery of gold and
diamond mines of course draws people
to these regions, and now the country
has large white population, with
railway and steamboat lines. and
fourishing cities equipped with every
modern convenience. There are rail.
ways 5OOmiles long, and the country
is being settled by. good class Of
colonists. Nearly twenty-five cities
have population OF over 10000 each.
All indications point to Africa as the
continent upon which Europe will
hereafter expend her energy and her
capital There will never again be
tuch a rush Of immigrants TO this
country as We have had in the past.
In future they will go to Africa, and
gradually turn il into a white mans
country. They will exterminate the
natives as We externinated the Indians,
and before many years the native AZ
sicaus will be IN the minority. Under
European methods this heretofore al.
most unknown land will become a
thickly populated and civilized group
OF States. Later the colonies will
throw Of their allegiance to the Euro
pesu Governments, and they will re.
peat the example of the United

terest to us is the fact that immigra-
tion will never sgsin be as great fac
tor IN our upbuildiug as it has been in
the past. The tide is turning to South

says: "Wo don't know the American

to know them; they come over hero

or TO show them that we should like

want to show ourselves to them? We
have no reason 10 be ashamed. The

need not fear comparison. As for the
people generally, am right glad to
see Hall Caine proclaiming the truth
about them; that is, that they are al
