Honolulu, II. l., Aug. 90, 1

Honolulu, II. l., Aug. 90, 1899.
Mr.. Editor: If you will kindly per-
NIT, l will note in your column a few
facts about the Summer School. The
educational department for a number
Of years has generously appropriated
money and has employed the very
ablest educators that could be found
in America to conduct our Summer
Schools. Furthermore, the depart
ment has arranged so that the salaries
of all teachers go on through vacation
just the same as at any other time of
the year. Under such favorable cir
cumstances one would think that every
teacher in the islands, with any sort
of interest in his professional success,
would avail himself of all professional
Improvement he could set at the Sum-
mer School. There are some three
hundred teachers on the payroll, yet
the average daily attendance of actual
teachers, at the sessions of the Sum
mer School, is not more than fifty or
sixty. Does this mean that there are
but fifty or sixty teachers in the ISL
ands who need improvement? Have
all the rest reached such q degree OF
perfection in their teaching that they
need not attend?
Those who are kept away on account
of sickness Or some other good reason
are excusable but the department ex-
poets that those in whose hands are
placed the great responsibility Of edu-
eating the rising generatiOn,-of MAX
ing the citizens Of tomorrow, Will en-
brace every opportunity 70 fit them
selves for SO exalted a work. All
other professional men, do not neglect
to come together for a discussion OF
their principles and methods Of work.
Because of the character OF his work
and the results TO be attained, the
teacher can little afford to stand still
or retrograde in his profession. Then
why do not the teachers attend the
| Summer School? Quite d number OF
| Honolulu teachers who are at no extra
expense whatever, are not in attend
ance. They will go back into their
schoOl-roomS in September not a whit
better teacher than when they went
out last June Their pupils will never
know that Miss Cook Or Miss Baber
ever came to Honolulu. If they Cad
grined before they Will Gadgrind
right on through the coming year.
When the best is rot good enough
how can they neglect any opportunity
| for being made a better teacher?
Some need professional awakening
and I know of no better way than for
| the Board of Education to make at
tendance at the Summer School one
of the conditions necessary to receive
| a desired transfer or an increase in
salary.

that this be changed to $4,000 shares

and then as the flock begins to move
towards the forest, they follow uncon-

into the haunts of alligators, the help

The native dramatic literature, we
are told, is extremely crude and at the
same time very artificial. The writer
goes on to say:
ut would seem as If the Malays had
been influenced by the Chinese stage
across the sea. They employ, like the
Chinese, very rich costumes, use an
open platform without scenery or any
stage properties, and employ sing song
delivery, which to the Caucasian ear
is very monotonous and unpleasant.
Their plays are of three classes. One
is of a religious type, something like
the miracle plays in old English civil
cation. A second class which is more
popular Is known as the Moro-moro,
named after the Moros or Mussumans
of Mindanao and the Sulu arChipela-
go. These are heroic, or rather melo-
dramatic, productions, in which there
is a brave Christian prince and an equ-
ally brave but wicked Moslem poten-
tate, a heroine who is captured or rob-
bed or otherwise injured soldiers of
the Cross and warriors of the Crescent,
and any amount of fighting, bloodshed
and massacre.

THE FILIPINO LEGENDS
CURIOUSLY LIKE EUROPEAN
FOLK LORE.
The Pied Piper of Hamelin Repeated in
Manila-Filipinos Historical Plays
Show Chinese Influence.

There is little Filipino literature, as
cording to the author of Manila and
the Filipinos." What there is consists
of legends, ancient songs and curious
historical plays The legend of the
"bankiva" bears a strong resemblance
to the European Pied Piper of Hame-
lin. The author tells it as follows
THE jungle fowl or bankiva possess
the power of charming children by a
special cry or call. But they are only
allowed to use this power either one
day of the year or one week of the
year, when the spirits give them the
privilege so that they can avenge
themselves against their chief enemy
man.
THE handsomest bankiva is selected
by the flock to lead a procession of the
jungle fowl, who fly from the forest to
the outskirts of the village and there
give the call. Grown people do not
hear 1T, but little children hear it and
are intensely delighted. Babies turn
in their mothers arm and coo in re-
Spouse, and little toddlers hurry as
fast as their feet can carry them to
see the strange bird that produces the
beautiful music. When they reach the
little ring in which the bakivas are
singing, spreading their feathers and

George Dewey,

The country will hope for the speedy en-
actment into law of the bill which passed
the Senate yesterday having for its object
the promotion Of Rear Admiral Dewey to
the post OF admiral There may be differ
ences or opinion as TO the respective merits
OF Sampson and Schley. hesitation here and
there about accepting Shafter at the full
valuation Of his most intimate friends. but
rs to Dewey American sentiment is all one
way. The pride in the man and his achieve
rnepts Is universal. and is as strong In the
ternote states Of Texas and California as
IN Vermont, where he was born and reared.
And the people desire that he be invested
with the highest honor in his arm of the
public service. The man who learned his
lessons in fighting from Farragut, and
learned them so well. deserves to fill the
pest which his great chief filed.
The fame of Dewey will rest upon the
battle Of Manila bay. The courage with
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1899-02-14

which he moved against the enemy and
the energy with which he struck him fixed
the world with admiration. 1t was a splen-
did and thoroughly successful exhibition of
grit and seananship,
But Dewey, as the country has come to
know since, is not alone a superb fighter.
He has the qualities as well of diplomat
and a statesman. He has carried himself
since the battle was fought in manner as
admirable and successful as re did while
the battle was in progress. And the situa-
ton has been exacting every hour of the
time. 1t has been such as only man of
breadth of view. of soundness of Judgment
and of stoutness of heart could successfully
have COPIED with.
And yet there are those who have had
little faith in their country or their coun-
trymen- Here is man who twelve months
ago was almost unknown outside of the
naval service. Wherever known he was
much respected, and his full measure had
never been taken. The hour strikes and
the man is there. equal to every emergency,
and he covers himself with glory He is
product of American institutions. He rep
resents the American spirit and capacity.
And there are others-as yet unIeveloped,
but certain to present themselves and dis
tnsuish themselves in the new work the
country has now in hand

The Pound Party Continued.

The Star is now holding a great pound
party for the benefit of the poor of Wash
ington. It began today to receive donations
of all sorts in the name of the sufferers.
The invitations to attend this party were
issued yesterday, but unfortunately the
snow drifts were so high in places that
many Star readers did not receive their
copies end therefore were not apprized of
the opportunity to give to the poor. Hence
il Is deemed advisable to continue the at
fair through at least another day, to give
to those who did not hear of the party yes
terday a chance to bring or send their
pounds or their money to The Star office in
the name Of charity. Then too the streets
are slowly becoming more capable of use
and 1t is hoped that by tomorrow hundreds
Will be able to get about who are today de-
tanned at home by the SHOWS. The need
for this help is no whit less today than yes
terday. Indeed it Is more serious and the
sufferings are more acute. For these good
reasons The Stars store rooms will con-
tinue to be held open for whatever may be
brought. in money or in supplies, for the
relief of the terrible distress which is being
felt in so many Washington homes.

From the Louisvill Courier-Journal.

From the Louisville Courier journal.
The report that some of the senators who
opposed the treaty intend to flibuster
against the sundry civil bill in order to de-
feat the S2O000,0OO appropriation to meet
the terms of the treaty is hardly credible.
1t is true that they went to great ex-
tremes to beat the treaty, so great, indeed,
that they earned for themselves suspicion
that probably did them injustice: but I'M
reasonable in many respects their oppo-
sitiOn to the treaty was, the country should
have better evidence than mere rumor be-
fore believing that they are capable of re-
sorting to filibustering tactics against pro-
vdlng the money which we stand pledged
to pay Spain.
However patriotic may have been their
motives in opposing the treaty, and to
whatever lengths they may have gone In
carrying their opposition, the treaty has
now been formally ratified by the constitu-
tional treaty-making powers of our govern
ment. 1t is a part of our national law, and
by its terms our honor is committed to it's
faithful observance and the payment, in
accord Herewith, of the $50, 0G0, 900 to Spain
To attempt, therefore, by the questionable
method of the filibuster, or by any other
method, to prevent the appropriation of the
money to execute the treaty and redeem
our pledge, is to do much more than to op-
pose the making of the treaty 1t is to
oppose the law of the land after it is made.

ments, serves to adjust more equitably the
relations of the sexes. The Congress OF
Mothers teaches progress in the household
in the care and education of the child, in
the wonderful relationship which lies at the
root of the states advancement. The Con-
gress of Daughters of the Revolution
teaches faith in the republic and binds to-
gether the various factors for advancement
which are furnished by the schools and the
domestic influences and the individual i'm
pulses of the people.
Thus this week and the next will be
notable, even though they have been pre-
coded by periods of similar happenings.
The nation has reached plane of new
thought which will surely be reflected in
the councils of the women, and the forward
tendencies which have wrought such Won
dcrful results in late months will assuredly
find echo in these gatherings.

Washington does not offer the most de-
lectable weather to the women of America
for their annual conclaves at the capitaI
but it is not to be helped and only to be de-
plored. The delegates to the National
Council of Women and the Mothers Con-
gress occupying this week and the Daugh-
tiers of the Revolution next week will per
haps have most difficult time in getting
TO and from their meeting places but the
spirit which has created these organiza-
tons and wrought the wonderful results
which they have already achieved is not to
be daunted by snow and cold. Indeed the
trials of the climate at present are but
symbolic of the struggle through which the
sex has passed in its search for a larger
sphere and a more definite assignment in
the worlds economy.
The National Council of Women aims at
| the assembling of representative women
| from all the lines of feminine endeavor. 1t
has come to be tinged so largely however.
| by the suggestion of the suffrage propa-
ganda that 1T is in many minds associated
| with that enterprise. In this respect it
| contrasts somewhat with the other gather
| ing of the present week. the Mothers Con-
| gress. which was started in Washington
| and is eentered here In its organizationaI
| work. Yet the two may be allied The
| Mothers Congress seeks to better the con-
| dition of the children by acquainting the
mothers of the land with the improved
| agencies for the care and training of their
! offspring. The exchange of experiences,
| the advancing Of practical suggestions, the
| revelation of new truths all move toward a
! betterment of this most important depart
| ment of the human organization, tending
/ toward higher civilization.
| Next week the Daughters of the RevoIu-
| ton will assemble, appropriately including
in their session the anniversary of the birth
| of the first President. Their gathering
| teaches patriotism love of country, pride
| in the heroic past and reverence for those
| whose deeds and sacrifices contributed to
| the splendid national structure which to-
day stands in the front rank of the world S
| units. There is much in common between
these three lines of feminine endeavor. The
Council teaches progress in mental attain

The Man of the Hour.

We pause to sing no praises
or martial deeds today;
We sought another hero,
Who was wanted right away.
Men and women crowd the windows
Cheering him with hearts aglow.
Hes the rescuer of a city;
He's the man who shovels snow!
He wears no clanking saber
Cleaning vengefully and bright;
A simple wooden scraper
Serves TO fit him for the fight.
And his feet in jute are swaddled;
He's no carpet-walking beau.
But ne'erthelcss we love i'm
When he comes to shovel snow.
So give to him his guerdon,
Let the coin flow bravely out:
For twas he who stormed your dungeon
With his shovel good and stout.
And take him to the larder
And the choicest there hestow;
For there's nothing too luxurious
For the man who shovels snow.

The pounds are coming in at a most
gratifying rate. Money in lieu of pounds
| is being received in larger volume than
ever before. The Stars pound party is al
ready great success, even though the
streets are almost impossible and the gen.
erously-disposed people can not get out
with their contributions. Unfortunately
yesterdays edition of The Star was more
or less blockaded and some of the readers
living in the outer edges of the city, failed
to receive their copies, owing to the drifts
which kept the delivery boys from finishing
their routes So that the invitation TO con-
tribute to the big donation party did not
reach all who would ordinarily have read
it last night.
But enough did read it and respond to it
to keep the clerks detailed for the reception
of the goods busy from o'clock through
out the day, busy as bees, taking in the
bundles, sorting them, entering cash contri-
buttons, hearing pleas for help, making up
packages of supplies for worthy cases and
In score of ways striving to keep up with
the steady current of practical charity
which flowed into The Star building during
the entire day.
So successful is the party of this day that
1t will be continued, and in view of what
'h7iAih5 1oi uoie III the past anu is
doing al this hour under the handicap of
insufficient notification and bad streets it
is not to be questioned that tomorrow will
break all records for the amount of food
fuel and clothing and money sent in for the
sufferers.
1t is notable that very many people pre-
ferred to give in cash, knowing that their
dollars would soon find their way into de-
serving hands, in the form of substantial
supplies. Some large donations were re-
ceived, one of ten barrels of -four, enough
to keep many families through an entire
week Clothing came in quantities, warm
dresses and garments for all ages boots
shoes, hats, all the necessities which are
made even more vitality necessary than ever
when the temperatures are low and the
snow is drifting.
Don't forget that the pound party will
continue tomorrow. By that time all Wash
fngtOn will have heard of this opportunity
to give in practical fashion. and perhaps
the streets will be more traLversable May
be the cars will all be running so that
those who want to give get out to Sc
cure their offerings and to present them.
One of the most significant features of
the days work is the large number of
donors who turned away al once after lay
ing their packages or their money upon
the counter, offering no clue to Identities
no opportunity to give thanks. The left
hand knew not what the right hand did.

Will Fight without AguinaIdO,
From the Boston Journal

If the Filipinos come down to the level of
guerrilla fighting they will have to get
along without Aguinaldo. That young man
is eager to be dictator, but unless he can do
his debating from palace he will turn to
another line OF business. His proclamation
OF last summer, in which his first care was
for the style of ornaments to be used at his
court and the etiquette to be observed by
those who approached him, showed that he
never could live in the bush
