THE TRAINING SCHOOL.

The agitation of the Training School
idea will certainly arouse some interest
in rural schools and i'll this way do some
good The pride of ownership and the
citation, resulting from authoritative rec
ognition of the existence Of rural schools,
may also remedy matters; but we must
not go to far in theorizing, The school
itself must have intrinsic worth, the good
results should be more tangible and its
practical value iii the solution of the
rural school problem more apparent
In the first place, many teachers do
not seem to have very definite idea of
the requirements for admission to the
training school, scope of work and legal
value of the certificate of graduation.
Possibly definite information on these
points will convince many of the dur
ability of Country Training School.
Then the question is asked What are
the Normal Schools for, but to train
t.. chers?' The expected answer is YES
for the graded schools. But the pertin-
ence of this reply is fast losing ground.
The tendency is towards making posi-
tons in the graded and high schools more
and more permanent; and yet the num-
Der of Normal students and Normal
graduates is increasing at an unprecent-
ed rate Each graduate is required TO
sign declaration that it is his intention
to teach i'll Wisconsin There are fewer
openings i'll the city schools each year
and the graduate is forced either to give

WE ARE told that the Chicago platform
was the work of the people and against
the wishes of the politicians. The people,
unsophisticated as they are supposed to
be on political maneuverinF, showed rare
power of manipulation at the Chicago
convention. Regularly elected delegates
were unseated SO as to secure the requis-
lite majority to carry ont the policy of

legislation, was thorough and gave evid-
ence of systematic procedure which is
absent in spontaneous action. In the
south also where reputation has long
been an article of faith organization for
free silver was perfected by long, con
tinuous and diligent work
The spontaneous uprising in behalf
&C free silver is being carefully cultivat-
ed in this state by the organization OF
clubs throughout the state under the au.
spices of the Milwaukee Bryan club the
cause OF whose spontaneous existence
was the solicitation of the peerless ex-
ponent and the susceptibility of those
to whom his appeal was addressed The
people of the state are not rising up in
such spontaneous fashion that their move
ment can be heard without placing the
ear to the ground But there is almost
a year yet to change Indifference or hos
tility by means of the machinery of Bry-
an clubs to form of pleasing spontane-
ity. This is the age of machine made

what mean by applying remedies where
most needed.
Even if we had ideal teachers there
would still be rural school problem.
The range of work from kindergarten to
high school, 20 to 25 recitations daily,
irregular. attendance and other trials
make difficult problem for even the
capable teacher But he assumes the
responsibility of its solution while the
incompetent teacher often leaves it to
the pupils under his care. Nowhere is
competence more needed. Intelligent
supervision of a principal may remedy
defects III the grade teacher but i'll the
rural school there is practically no super
vision If the training school tends to
secure greater competence in teachers,
it should be secured by all means Rural
teachers will welcome it heartily if con

and aid in uplifting the rural school.
Many, however, as yet do not see that
the training school tends toward this
end

THE so-called anarchist uprising in
Paris this week has excited a great deal
of unnecessary comment on the part of
the press of this country. Although most
of the papers had big scare heads not a
single fatality was reported. The mum
erous street car and railroad strikes in
our own country generally exceed the
recent riot in Paris in amount of violence
done, while the cases Of negro lynchings
by mobs in the south are of almost daily
occurrence OF course this does not
mitigate the seriousness of the offenseS
committed in Paris. but it is to be noticed
that the reports We're given rather UNI
due prominence and their seriousness was
somewhat exaggerated The rapidity
with which France has repeatedly
brought offending anarchists to justice
exceeds that Of most countries and has
demonstrated that the French nation
is able and competent to handle offend
ers of this class.

paper comment at present The poem
was written ON seeing the picture of the

painter Millet in 1860. The poem is pes

able to the times when the picture was
painted it hardly fits the closing days of
the 10th century. The criticisms it has
received although generally adverse,
have achieved considerable reputation

EDITOR EVENING BULLETIN
QIite a number of people here
would like to possess Government
land en- this Island, at reason
able price per acre, and all of us
agree with the two letters in your
last issue, and thank you for pub
fishing them. 1t almost seems
impossible that such an attempt
should succeed in the near vicini-
ty of Honolulu. In the column
Of your paper i'm mediately parallel

visiug all people that there is
Government Land available in
far off Kaupo aud also at Paiaea,
Maui. Now why should not a
similar course have been taken
with the land at Waihawa, Oahu ?
[ find is hard to believe that the
Minister of the Interior can be
fully cognisant of the facts 10 this
case, and L hope the Senator and
Representative from this district
will bring it TO his notice. II
surely is not yet too late stop this
latest land-grab. Many of your
readers whom l heard discussing
the matter yesterday, would much
like to hear your own opinion OF
the matter because they know il
would be independent and without

proposition In the matter of funer-
al trans. If tuis location is final
ly settled upon, it means the es-
adjustment OF a cemetery 10 the
midst of caue field; to properly
develop the place from tn stand
point of the landscape gardener,
the government will either have to
establish a pumping plant or buy
water from the adjoining planta.
ton. The chances are that the
plantation will need all the water
it can get for its own use. The
funeral trains will b. run in the
midst of a plantation camp
and be surrounded by all the
inc ,ngruous accomplishments of
OF cane field traffic and plantation
work.
Since the general scheme seems
to be to go beyond the borders of
the city and take into account
the future expansion of the town,
there are other sites which might
be considered with as much or
Lore favor. At Kahaiki beyond
the Kan,ehameha schools, and
Pukaki beyond Moanalua are To-
cations which fulfil the necessi-
ties of the expansion idea, The
elevation is somewhat greater
than the proposed Halawa site,
but as it seems highly probable
that the government will have to
pump its own water, there would
be practically no additional ex-
psnse from this source. These
locations could not be reached by
the steam railroad, but by the
time the cemetery is established
the electric line will doubtless be
extended in that direction.
As tue selection Of a new ceme-
terry site calls for consideration of
the extending borders of the city,
the Cabinet will do we'll to weigh
the matter very carefully so that
the site accepted shall be reason
ably assured of meeting general
approval 10 the future and the
present as we'll.
