A HOME LIKE RELATION NO MORE TEN GENT RIDES
SHOULD EXIST BETWEEN PUPIL
AND TEACHER.
So Started Professor Brown Before the
Summer School This Morning
Dillingham; Gives Some Impressions.

Before the Summer School today
Elmer f. Brown continued his lecture
on Feeling in Relation to Instruc-
tion,' pointing out the desirability of
avoiding wild enthusiasm.
He then spoke of Emulation in In
struction." They might expect him
to say that emulation is bad and must
be banished from school work. He,
however, found that many modern
clear headed thinkers approve of em-
ulation, and for his part he was in
clined to think it was a good thing.
There is a kind of exercise that is
frequently employed by intelligent
teachers, namely, the use of sort of
debate. That is one kind of emuil-
ton which brings out very surpris-
ing results. In his judgment there is
better kind of emulation than can
be called out by debate. The debate
makes the child feel THAT he must
maintain position he has taken mp,
whether he should be led to ascer-
! tain whether the attitude taken up is
right or wrong.
The spirit of instruction in class
should be a spirit of working together,
of cooperation: that kind of feeling
in which everyone is helping the
others is a good thing to have. 1de
spirit OF Together" is cne of the
beautiful things of the kindergartens
and should prevail in the schools
above.
DIR. Brown next spoke of the rel
alton of teacher and pupil. Emphasis
had been expressed on securing the
affection of the pupil. He thought a
home relation is thing very desir-
able. But confidence in and respect
for a teacher is better than wildly ar
dent affection. He had known teach.
ers to work for an ardent affection
on the part of the school, but the
danger was that an ardent affection
so extreme as he had seen was not
wholesome, and was not promotlr'
of the intellectual work of the school
In general it was desirable that the
teacher should create hope and avoiC
discouragements.

BILL WILL COME UP IN THE NEAT
LEGISLATURE.
+. b. McStocker Says the Question Is
Very Important One-Favors the
Graduated Income Tax.

There is no one in the islands who
is better posted on the merits of the
income tax than is f. B. McStoeler,
Deputy Collector General of Customs.
Mr.. McStocker was one of the strong
est supporters of the measure and lent
his aid and influence in getting
the plank imbodied in the platform
of the American Union party.
81 believe I speak the truth" began
Mr.. McStocker today in an interview,
''when ] say that it was the sincere
desire of the majority of those com
prising the American Union party
that the income tax should be intro
duced here in the islands.
"The plank was instituted in the
platform of the American Union party
and that party selected the Senators
who simply did their duty to their
constituents when they passed the
bill. The very same business men
who are opposing the law now and
SolltL iDu'IiS W u Iuhb "hi'i - w
employ counsel to fight it, had not a
word to say against the measure at
that time.
"In my judgment the law is fair
one. When it was adopted the Legis-
lature in its desire to adopt some
system of taxation to meet the con.
ditions in the country, saw fit to select
the income tax. While it was the de-
sire of many of the legislators to &C
| further and provide for graduated
| tax system, the more conservative
members prevailed upon them to try
the income tax law first as an expert
ment.
; "a fight will surely be made in the
next Legislature, unless annexation
obviates all need for legislation, for {
graduated tax system. A. tax of one
per cent is sufficient for poor man
but it is not so for man with
large income. The burdens of state
expense should be justly borne ant
surely no fairer way could be de
vised than a graduated income tax

MINISTER KING GIVES HIS
DECISION.
Hackmen at Liberty to Tax Each Pas
senger a Quarter of a Dollar for Any
Drive.

For many months past the hackmen
of the city have protested against car
rying passengers within the town
limits for ten cents head. While
this sum was all that they were en-.
titled to by law, the "hackies" insist
ed that it did not pay them to run
their vehicles at that price.
At last they succeeded in laying
their grievances before the Minister
of the Interior, who, after carefully
considering the matter. gave out his
decision yesterday. The Minister has
upheld the hackmen in their claims
and announces that the public can
have no more ten cent rides.
Under the new regulation a charge
of 25 cents will be legal to or from any
point between Beretania street and
the harbor, and between Maunakea
street and Punchbowl street for either
one or two passengers. For each adj
ditional passenger ten cents. A charge
of 25 cents straight for each passen-
ger will be asked to or from any point
between the second bridge, Nuuanu
avenue and Kunawai lane on LiIila
street and the harbor, and between
the Reformatory school on the EVA
road and the line of Victoria street
on the Waikiki side, and not exceed
ing one mile from the starting point.
hn Minigtn, pf 1,n T,tnrinr hoc
seen fit to extend the down town
limits in the direction of Punchbowl
and Punahou for two or three squares.
The hackmen express themselves as
being perfectly satisfied with the new
regulation. -
"There is not city in the United
States that can boast of a better public
hack system than Honolulu" said the
proprietor of leading livery estab-
lishment this morning. "And what is
more, the prices asked here are much
less. Because of the miserable street
car accommodations people are oblig-
ed to ride in hacks much more than
they do in the cities. and this is The
reason why it comes hard on the pub
lic."
again. it should be Remembered
that hay and grain is very expensive
in Honolulu, and everything consider
ed, it cannot be truly said that the
hack fare in Honolulu is exhorbitant."
There are in the neighborhood of
200 hacks in commission in Honolulu.

VIEWS ON INCOME TAX ARE THERE ANY B|DDERS?
MAY KEEP THE
HAWAIIAN HOTEL.
Price Asked Is High-Whispered that
William G.. Irwin VIII Erect a Hotel
i'm Waikiki.

Within a little more than fortnisn t
the Hawaiian Hotel premises will be
offered for sale at public auction.
Whether there will be any bidders can
not be definitely ascertained at the
present time.
The lowest offer which the Cove ~
ment will consider is 100000. People
who are interested in the matter IN
sist that this price is eXhorbitant In
view of the fact that the Government
Goes not own a number of the cot
tages which adjoin the hotel proper.
AS the owners of these cottages have
naturally placed a snug little sum on
their properties, purchaser would
have very little left out of one hnn-
dred thousand dollars after he had
bought in the square.
f. C. Macfarlane, one of the present
lessees of the hotel premises, is now in
San Francisco presumably for the pur.
pose of consulting his brother. Col)rs'
GEORGE Mac1arlane, ana nuInDcr OF
San Francisco capitalists, upon the
proposition of making bid for the
property. 1t is not believed that n,
will be successful in organizing q
company which viii purchase the
property and erect a new hotel build
ing.
1t is rumDred that another bio
might be rendered by some local cap
talists.
The latest talk going the rounds %
the hotel matter is that William c
Irwin is thinking seriously of build
ing hotel on his property in Waikiki
Should this be true, and Mr.. Irwin de
cides to build, the Honolulu public
will need never feel ashamed of it,
hotel accommodations, as Mr.. irwin
i'll not do things by halves.
What Honolulu wants now NOR,
than anything else, is first clas
hotel. The lease on the Hawaiian
Hotel expired on April I. The presen
holders of the lease have been grant
ed three months grace.
