TRAINING OF TEACHERS.

No educational sign of the times is
more hopeful than the increasing inter
est manifested in the training of teach
ers. A few years ago Prof. NJ. NJ. Scott,
under the Board of Education, organ
lied class of teachers and those wish
ing TO become teachers, TO meet three
or four afternoons of each week for an
hours instruction, chiefly in the ele-
mentary branches, but partly in meth
DDS of teaching them. This was the
chief undertaking in the way of train
ing persons for the work of teaching
till two years ago. Then the trustees
OF the Kamehameha schools, at the in
stance of Principal Richards, decided TO
organize regular normal departments
in the two schools TO which older pu-
pills are admitted. These have been do
ing good work from that time to the
present, and will begin their third
years work under favorable conditions.
A year ago the Board of Education
decided to increase its interest in this
work, and accordingly employed ]. l..
Dumas TO devote his whole time to 1t.
Quite large number of young persons
worked under Mr.. Dumas during the
year, the number constantly increasing.
This year the Department of Public In
struction has provided for two teachers
TO instruct the apprentice teachers, and
also for practice school of two rooms,
This combination they dignity by the
name of the Normal and Training
School.
While the Honolulu Normal and
Training school is inferior to the in
situations of similar name abroad, es-
peeially in equipment. it has many and
great advantages in the way of prepar-
ing the teachers for our somewhat pc
culiar school work. Not the least of
these is the fact that in the practice
school the teachers under training will
meet Will the SAINT ulluCulllcS Ludl Will
confront them in the country schools,
where most of them must expect to be
gin their careers as actual teachers.
In this work Hawaii is merely falling
into line with the educational progress
of the world. In a notable paper read
before the National Educational Asso-
citation of the United States a short
time ago, Superintendent Sabin ex-
pressed the hope that ere long they
could, even in the rural districts, shut
the door in the face of the unframed
teacher" Without advocating rudeness,
it may be said that in most cities of the
size of Honolulu in America the IN
trained beginner finds positions simply
not attainable.

Homesick Bat.

The crew of the Australia and others
were very much frightened yesterday
morning when black bat flew aboard
the steamer at the Oceanic wharf and
alighted on the shoulder of one of the
officers. 1t seemed like token of i'll
luck and the bright sunlight was the
only thing that kept several present
from becoming superstitious. 1t was
finally decided that the bat had a mo
tive for flying back aboard the Aus
tralia- After having been freed from
its cage by Joseph Marsden it had gone
around to all the haunts of the Japanese
beetles and had found them too much
for its stomach. Homesickness set in
and the bat determined to stow away
so as to get back TO its native soil.

Bradstreet's Journal says: The
brewing OF beer in Japan has already
attained such a stage of development
that the importation of foreign beer
has become very insignificant. In the
year 1850 there did not exist a single
brewery in Japan, and now Japanese
beer is being exported to China and
America. German used to send large
quantities of beer in bottles TO Japan,
which in 1890 amounted still to 10000
quintals, Of the value Of $4,000 marks:
but in 1895 the quantity was only 1000
quintals, worth 10000 marks. 1t is
proof OF the progress of the japanese
beer brewing that there has been a
great increase in the expectation of
brewing material to Japan from Ger
many within the last six years, totaling
for that period 1,O00,0 900 marks" This
looks as if japanese beer might some

The records Of the California wine
importation shows that August has
been the largest month Of the year
thus far and that sake still holds It's
place al the head Of the list, and for the
eight months ending August 81, the
import Of sake is some $4,000 gallons in
excess Of the California wines for the
same period. Another feature viii wor-
thy OF note is the large excess OF wines
testing over Il per cent. The natural
inference must be that the strong wines
find the ready market while a really
light wine is not sought after. Just
why there should be this sudden in
crease during the month Of August We
are unable 10 state, but it is noticeable
that the importations Of gin and strong
liquors have increased in the same
proportion.

Poor Miss Field This expression
mas been uttered by more than one Ho-
nolulu friend since the sad death of the
noted writer About four months have
elapsed since Honolulu friends laid her
body in its temporary resting place.
and the final disposition seems to be
as indefinite as on the day of her death.
Kind frienus have been profuse in their
expressions of sympathy, but there
seems to be no one to take up the final
settlement OF her estate and give the
matter undivided attention for more
than a few hours at a time Now
man comes forward and says that Miss
Fields will contains explicit directions
TO have her remains cremated. To the
friends here, this constant talk about
Miss Fields wishes seems almost sac
religious, when there seems 10 be no
one who viii make it his or her bust
ness TO find that will, and thereby put
an end TO the eonjectures that are GO
ing the rounds throughout the United
States. 1t is time for someone to act
in the spirit Of true friendship. The
people here have done all they can and
Will do more when Miss Fields friends
in the States will open the way.

that Mr.. Hustled had no intention Of

The Australian colonies have con-
stantly been the centers of labor trou-
bles, labor experiments, and apparently
q paradise of labor unions. Labor prob
lens have been carefully studied, and
there has seemed to be among its pub
lie men more honest desire to get at the
root of the troubles between capital and
labor than in any other place in the
world. There the eight-hour day was
allowed and many other concessions
made TO the workingmen, who for a few
years were perfectly satisfied with the
success and kept quiet. Following the
strikes of 1890, 81 and 's4, the Labor
party was formed, and has now gained
sufficient strength in Queensland to
elect one-fourth OF the members of the
Legislature. Ii now appears that the
eight-hour day and government con-
troll of railways. etc, is not sufficient.

Ii Hung Chang's visit 10 the United
States is in many respects most re-
markable. In a country where the
feeling toward the Chinese is almost
akin TO hatred and where laws are en-
forced to keep the Chinese laborer from
putting foot on American soil, the
great viceroy finds himself received
with pomp and splendor that has sell
dom been equaIled in the annals of Am
erican history. Outside official circles.
where Ii must needs be received cor
daily, the noted Chinaman is some
thing like a big curio. For his people
generally the Americans have no use,
but they are quite ready to do homage
TO this representative who is indeed a
man whose name will always stand out
prominently in the history OF the Chi
nese Empire. As for Ii Hung Chang,
ne will probably form the opinion that
a nation can smile and smile and be
villain still There will undoubtedly
be profuse expressions of friendship
and good wishes for the great and good
friend and his people, but it is peculiar
friendship that the United States is
showing the Chinese.

Jack Frost

Came over to visit us on
the Steamer Australia. He
encaSed himself comfortably
in one of our Alaska Ice
Chests, and slowed his grub
away in one of our Alaska
RefrigeratOrS, of which we
have sizes and prices to suit
either Jack or his wife Jill.
Instead of a gripsack, Jack
carried a Gem Ice Cream
Freezer, ssand as fast as he
tWirled the freezer the ice
cream began to heap up
around him so that he had
to empty it into one of our
Painted Iron Bath Tubs.
which suited the spectators
to a T; for they all helped to
eat up the ice cream, and
then bought all the bath tubs
before we could get them to
the store. Never mind! We
can get more of them, if you
want one.
Jack got one of Captain
Houdlette's men to SWab
him down every morning
and he enjoyed the stream
of water that issued from
our ga inch Garden Hose,
which we carry in q and 50
feet lengths. Jack is our
Mascotte and will prove a
veritable frost to competitors.
He is no relation of Jack
Sprats. He hunks with us.
Come and take a real nice
chill.

SILVER IN MEXICO.

A resident Of Mexico, writing to the
New York Herald Of the use Of silver
in that country, suggests two PROPOSE
tions laid down by Secretary Carlisle
Mr.. Carlisle was guilty OF very evident
unfairness when he attempted to COM
pare the United States with certain
silver using countries, without making
any allowance for their d rerences in
national history, race peculiarities
and climatic conditions. II is seldom
that one nation can be compared with
another without doing injustices 10
one or both. The Mexican from whom
we quote applied the only true test,
namely, a comparison of each nation
with itself. He says: There is not
a silver standard country in the world
today, but whose producers and manu-
facturers are more prosperous than
they ever were before And he adds:
"rhere is not a gold standard country
ia the world today whose producers,
manufacturers and exporters are as
prosperous as they have been in the
past"
If these two proposition are true,
they should have more weight than all
the propositions submitted by Carlisle.
That both propositions are true can be
easily proven. 1t is a well-known fact
that the silver-using countries have
recently been making rapid progress
in the production of wealth, and it is
just as well known that financial de-
preston pervades every gold standard
country IN the world. The test of
good legislation is, does it contribute
to general prosperity? The gold
standard has VIGOROUSLY failed to
benefit the masses. A gold standard
means an appreciating money; an ap.
preciating dollar means falling prices;
falling prices means hard times.
