SIX MONTH EXPORTS.

Praise must be given to the customs
officials for their having their work so
well up, that on the LIST of July it was
possible to publish approximately the
exports for the first six months of the
year. In the figures published every
thing was exact, except one cargo, the
Wrestler, in Kahului, for which an esti-
mate was given and one cargo, the
Falls of Clyde, in Hilo, both of which
vessels it was assumed would sail be-
fore July LIST.
The total exports, of sugar have been
very close on to $16OOO,O 900 as against a
value of S12, 100000 during the same per-
iod of 1898, this is an advance of 81, 500, =
900, and if the same rate lasts till De-
cember, it will give us $1,000, 900 more
for the year. However, it must always
be remembered that the values of ex-
ports are not actual market values, but
estimated values. To get at the true
status of things there would have to be
returns of the sales of the various con-
signments, and that is never done.
The total exports in pounds amount

pounds or $4,000 tons, while a year ago
for the first six months the exports of
sugar amounted to 342, 900, 900 pounds or
171,O00 tons. So there is a gain of ST.
100000 pounds or $4,000 tons What the
real gain was in dollars can be cal
culated by looking up the market price
of sugar at the two periods. The GUS
tom house statistics do not give that.
1t is worthy of note that the port of
Hilo has remained practically station
airy, while every other port shows an
increase of quantity exported. The fig
ures given are from the custom house
books. The reason for Hilo being sta
tionary have been alluded to before.
That that port may in future show
an increase is possible, but here are the
absolute figures from the official record
which shows that for the first six
months of 1899, there has even been a
slight falling off as compared with the
same period in 1898.
The figures from the other ports show
that there has been great general prog
ress, because it is among them that ST.
100000 pounds excess must be divided,
and this is satisfactory as showing the
commercial advance of the Islands as a
whole.

the result that pupil knows much Of
many things, and knows no one trade or
handicraft thoroughly. AT the age Of
eighteen pupil leaves this kind OF
school with practically all to learn in
any real work of life. The old appren-
tlce system did really very much bet,

man and able to command the best Of
wages, were he only out of his articles.
The object of these remarks is to set
people thinking upon the possibility of
establishing one or two technical
schools here. We often talk of the peo
pie of the Islands not being able to do
anything Have we taught them to do
anything. Have we not rather taught
them to do nothing. We have kept them
in school, till the age of fifteen and
taught them to read to write and to
have some knowledge of arithmetic
Then there has been some effort at
teaching the embroidery of education,
a smattering of dozen different things,
but no one thing well. And then we
turn them out, and expect them to be-
come what? We have no apprentice
ship system and we have no technical
schools, and that our system has pro-
duced and will go on producing a fine
crop of loafers is by no means a matter
of establishment.
ing, and hat making might have a tech
nical school. Instead of it's being a hap
hazard industry, such as it is now, it
might be made an accurate Industry
and gain an acknowledged position in
the straw hat trade. We might have a
technical school for blacksmiths, we
might for dairy work. The amount done
by each would be limited, but such
schools would in a few years bring
tangible advantage. Such schools need
not be expensive, and boy or girl need
not be highly educated to attend them
1t may be an advantage for a black
smith to be a good mathematician, but
good mathematician does not neces-
sarily become a good blacksmith. II
may be a nice thing for a girl to have g
knowledge of chemistry but that vii

practical is what we ought to look at
and it has been too long set aside We
have trained the brain at the expense

Tomorrow will be celebrated the great
national holiday of the United States,
and therefore our national holiday. Ev-
cry preparation has been made to mark
the day as one to be long remembered
by ourselves, and it looks as if the grey
boards twenty years hence will be able
to say "Ah! you should have seen the
celebration the first 4th of July after the
flag had been raised. That was ban

BE PRACTICAL.
reward.

Germany deVotes money and atten-
Iion to her purely technical schools. So
do many other countries. Recently at
Plausen, so reports Consul Monaghan,
a school for teaching embroidery has
been opened. The expense is certainly
not large. The Government appropriat-
ed 5000 marks ($2142) and the city 5000
marks SID for the initial expenses.
For the annual expenses 5000 marks
($1190) and 5000 marks ($714) will be con-
tributed respectively.
The value of technical schools of this
kind is enormous to the people of
country. The pupils learn thoroughly a
particular trade or handicraft, and on
completing their course are perfectly
trained for it. They have the trade, in
fact at their fingers ends. 1t is no ollie
tante work, no smattering, such as is
obtained by little course of this and a
little course of that, which is given in
our industrial schools, but a pupil hav-
ing gone through a German technical
school knows all that there is to know
about the particular matter that has
been taken up.
The technical school, in point of fact,
takes the place of the old apprentice
ship system. Under that a youth was
bound to trade for from five to seven
years, He did nothing but the trade for
that period and at the end of his ap-
premiership was, in nine cases out of
ten, a master of his craft. The plan was
a good one, but somewhat clumsy one,
and the latter year or two of the APP
premiership, the apprentice gave his
time practically in payment for the
training he had had.
The technical school does not aim at
many things, it aims at one thing thor
oughly. 1t may be embroidery at Plau-
en-, it may be blacksmithing, as in half
a dozen German cities, it may be dairy
work, as in several places in Russia, or
it may be weaving as in like places in
France, but the technical school pro-
poses to take enough time to turn out a
thoroughly competent man or woman

The earthly remains of the Queen
DOwager Kapiolani were yesterday
placed in their resting place, following
but too quickly upon the last offices
which had been performed for the
young Princess Kaiulani. There they lie
the one cut off in her early youth, the
other crossing the threshold of death at
the end of a fairly long life which had
been worthily lived. 1t will not be
many times that like pomp will attend
the funeral obsequies of the dead on
these Islands. The old order has passed
away forever. The death of Kapiolani
called forth the respect of all classes of
the community, and all felt that good
and excellent Hawaiian lady had pass
ed from among us.

Solitary voyages across the Atlantic
are no longer uncommon. Exactly how
many there may have been one has no
record at hand, but it has been done
many times. Sometime in the sixties the
writer remembers paying a shilling to
see a boat that had crossed the Allan
tic, and if memory serves she was ship
rugged, but that may or may not be
so. This is the first time that a boat
sailed by one man has come across the
Pacific from San Francisco to these ISL
ands. What particular advantage may
be gained by making the voyage in this
fashion is problematical. 1t shows
pluck in trusting to unaided effort for
a heightened period, it shows skill in
handling little. vessel, and it is to be
supposed that it brings grist to the MILL
in the shape of shillings or quarters to
see the craft exhibited But there is a
