A YALE BENEFICE.
A. G.. Kaulokou Chosen For Yale
Alumni'S Scholarship.

The scholarship determined upon by
the resident Yale alumni to assist
young man of Hawaii through their
alma mater and provide for him an
opportunity of enjoying educational
privileges similar to their own, has
been given to Abraham G.. KaulOkou,
clerk of Judge Gears court who win
take the full course of study at Yale.
The scholarship was the outcome of
the Yale Alumni Association dinner
held some time ago. Since then a COM
mittee has been looking into the quail
fications of various native sons of Ha-
wall, finally resting their choice upon
the son of Judge John KaulOkOu.
The scholarship, which amounts to
$500 per annum, is intended merely as
an impetus to the beneficiary who will
have to either possess other means or
work his way through college for all
money needed over that amount Young
KaulOkou was finally chosen after
list of eligibles had been carefully
gone through with local heads of educa-
tional institutions.
He will be % years of age next month
He was born on the Islands. His edu-
cational career so far has been as fol-
lows. From 8 to 10 in a private school
from 10 to IL at Kamehameha, then at
Iolani College and finally full course
at Oahu College where he graduated
with honor in the class of 1900.
During this time he was studying law
with w. A. Kinney. He was at first
inclined to the ministry but later ac-
qured a taste for legal career. For
year he has acted as court clerk. He
is not of an athletic but rather of a
studious temperament and will it Is
thought contribute due honor to his
sponsors. He will be the first of a
long line of beneficaries to be aided by

alumni of Hawaii.

Of little consequence in the affairs of men.
At any rate. the man who is missed in his
occupation every day he is absent from his
place has a right TO feel that he is Of more
consequence to the mechanism OF industry
and business than the man whose absence
during months is not an embarrassment
1t is when the factor of comfort in ex-
istence is taken into consideration that the
stay-at-home has the best OF it. This regu-
lation vacation involves a trip Of some dis

comfort for the money expended than by
any other device. This is particularly the
case if advantage is taken of an
excursion, with excursion rates and
delays. Unless the excursionist has
an abundance of money the acconmoda-
tions are not nearly so comfortable as at
home. The rooms are smaller. the beds
are uncomfortable, the chairs are not easy,
and the food is not SO good as is provided
at home. even if there is a printed bill of
fare. At home the days may be hot, but
the person who stays at his employment
can find comfortable spots. and at night
he has the run of the house If others are
absent. and has quiet and freedom from
the disturbing noises of too-nea ~neighbors
and the mosquitoes. In fact, the stay-at-

every way better off than those who go
chasing about during vacations under the
delusion that they are resting. He needs
not the consolation OF those who go to re-
sorts and labor under the delusion that
they are places of recreation.

An exchange criticises the national con-
vention of teachers because of the favor
able attitude it assumed to the PROPOSE
ton TO have the Bible read in the schools
as all other books. Its argument is the old
one. namely. that the state has no right
TO teach religion. On hat ground, ObJec-
ton could be made to the reading of his
tory or mythology, since ancient history
contains the religious Nsuperstitions of the
nations which filled the worlds stage be-
fore the Christian era. Religion %pervades
all history and mythology, get idolatry and
paganism can be read about in state
schools to the end that the pupil may have
a knowled3e of the past and incidentally
of the influence of religious beliefs upon
the age; but the Bible, which contains the
elementary principles of a newer and living
religion and the highest code of ethics, can
not even be read as a rext-book in litera-
ture. 1t is probable that textbooks are
admitted in the schools in which the de-
velopment of civilization and the begin
ming Of the Christian era are set forth, and
even the creeds of the churches which have
Influenced the ages may be stated. but
when it comes to opening the Bible in the
state schools to read the psalms and the
gospel the cry is set up that the right of
conscience in matters of religion must be
observed and the reading must be pro-
hibited.
The number of intelligent people who will
deny that the living and potential civiliza-
ton of the age cannot be called Christian
is comparatively few. 1t is a civilization
which had it's birth in the teachings of the
principles of Christianity, and those ma
tions which have greatest power in the
world and which secure to the world the
greatest freedom and privilege are those
in which the ideas of Christian ethics as
taught i'll the gospels are best understood
and practiced. The nations which are most
intelligent and progressive are those in
which the people are most familiar with and
can read the Bible. no matter what version.
simply because nowhere else are the prin-
ciples which are necessary to the highest
civilization so clearly set forth.
Admitting the facts which prove that the
teachings of the Bible are the underlying
principles of our civilization. it seems
strange that intelligent people SHOULD be so
prompt in declaring that the Bible shall
not be read in the public schools lest some
child shall obtain opinions therefrom which
will peril its happiness in a future
state. This objection might have had force
with mere sectarians years ago when men
were punished for believing or not believ-
ing certain things, but it should not have
force to-day, when it is insisted that the
best in literature and ethics shall have a
place in public schools. That the world
needs a better knowledge of Christian civil
lization is generally admitted, yet the book
which contains its elementary principles
is kept out OF the schools provided by adj
vanced civilization lest some individual
shall imbibe religious beliefs which this or
that sect holds to be pernicious. Such
reasoning cannot ommend itself to people
of good sense.

BOOKS FOR

The chief Of the circulating department
of the New York Public Library is quoted
as saying that one Of the features of
library work in the future will probably
be a central bureau for the appraisal of
literature, especially new books, for the
benefit of librarians in general. No indi-
vidual librarian can read all that are pub
surely right when he says that every book
should be read from beginning to end be-
fore it is placed on the shelves. There are
many books. such as histories, essays,
scientific and religious works. biographies.
etc. the names of whose authors are suf-

may we'll be accepted as reasonable proof
that the volumes contain nothing which
renders them unsuitable for general cir
culation. This New York librarian an
nounces that as the first point to be COW

even though, from a literary point of
view. the book may be a great one. and
even though it may appeal TO people Of
cultivated tastes and higher character. But
in a public library there must be nothing
which would provoke criticism as insult
able for young folk" This last pronounce
ment raises the old question as 10 whether
cultivated people have any rights in a
public library. or whether its books must
all be gagged according 10 the intellectual
needs and capacity Of the young person.
Evidently the New York man is OF the
same mind as the Evanston librarian who
rules of the shelves any book 10 which
any Patron OF the institution raises OBJ
lection. Inasmuch as a great many IN
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1902-07-20

cultivated readers of books are prurient
prudes and regard even the scientific
mention of certain Of the facts of life and
nature as literary indecenoy, the books
thus likely to be cast out are numerous and
their elimination likely to lessen the use
fulness of public libraries to people who
know books and are able to appreciate
them.
OF course this New York librarian has
fiction rather than other departments of
literature in mind, but even in regard 10
novels he is not consistent with himself.
After saying that every book should be
read before it is placed on the shelves, he
adds that there are certain authors whom
we know il is safe to buy without reading.
Everything written by Mr.. Howells, Mr..
James. Mr.. Cable and other authors who
have demonstrated that they always pro-
duce works of a certain grade is pur-
chased. Yet but a little while ago a
writer in a New York literary periodical
demonstrated TO his own satisfaction in
two or three columns OF space that Henry
.James's later novels are not only immoral
but positively shameless! So. it is plain,
the line is difficult to draw.
Why draw the line at the young person
at all? In every well-regulated public
library there is a department for young
children. and careful supervision prevents
them from taking out unsuitable books.
Why should not children of a larger growth
be protected in the same way? Let there
be a department for literature tested and
found perfectly innocuous-passed on by a
committee of matrons if necessary-and let
the young people get their books from its
shelves. Then let the other shelves be filled
with books which the really literary people
care to read; books which are great in
thought or style, even though the people
who move through their pages do not all
belong to the most select society and may
be even really improper characters. There,
for instance, is Maeterlinck's new drama,
'Monna Wanna" Since the dramatic CEN
sor of London has forbidden it to be
played in the public theaters of that city,
it is safe TO predict that librarians will
pass it by as forbidden, even though all
the high literary authorities of England
have called it great. According to the New
York mans dictum, because it is not meat
for babes it must therefore not be put
within reach of their elders.
The trouble is. as pointed out a few days
ago by a contributor to the Journals col
umns, tina: what is wanted is not so much
a central bureau of appraisement as a
literary feeling-a sense, an instinct, or
whatever it may be called-on the part of
librarians. 1t is not enough that they
know something about the contents of
every volume on their shelves, if that were
po~ssible-they must nave the knowledge
of literary values. the ability to compare
to appreciate. the Unborn love for books as
literature. Naturally, the qualification is
not common among librarians, since no
amount of training in their profession will
give it to them; hence it is that so much
foolish controversy arises over the char
acter and quality of the volumes offered
for their approval.

Evangelist unh who has had a good
deal 10 say lately in condemnation of the
higher criticism, is roasted numerically
therefor in a recent issue of lions Herald.
a Methodist paper. Three years ago. it
says, the Herald limited 10 DR.. Munhall that
he did not know what he was talking about.
Now it is further convinced Of this. and
says that "Dr. MunhaIrs knowledge. as
shown by his writings, has the same value
in theology as Brother Jasper's in astron-
omy. And a refutation would be equally
impossible in either case, and for manifest
reasons. We commend to DR.. Munhall the
example of the psalmist who said, L eXer-
else not myself in matters too high for
me- The Herald also quotes Chancellor
Day as saying: The idea of this man
Munhall setting up as a defender of the
church against higher criticism! He would
not know higher criticism If he were TO
meet it on the road" The Herald concludes
its remarks thus: There is no crisis in
Methodism. The crisis is in Munhallism.
His crude evangelism, a caricature OF the
gospel, is no longer effective or remunera-
tive. Hence all these tears. The doctor,
who is duly alive to his own financial in
%terests, pposes that higher criticism is TO
blame and thinks by these ignorant far
ragos and unprincipled ISLANDERS and libels
TO put off the evil day. But higher criti-
cism has nothing to do with il. The pass
ing of Munhallism is solely due to the
growth and spread of intelligence. 1t can
not be prevented even by the study of DR..
Munhalrs books and lectures, which are
industriously advertised for sale by the
author at very reaSonah HE rates." This is
plain language to be used by religious
brethren. Is it to be regarded as higher
criticism?"

A national congress of apple-growers is
to be held next December at some point in
the Mississippi valley, presumably St.
Louis. The movers in the enterprise are
Missouri and Illinois apple-growers. No
Indianians are mentioned, probably for the
reason that comparatively few residents of
this State are interested in the apple indus
try. There are sporadic instances of Indi-
ana farmers who take especial care of<their
orchards, graft, cultivate, improve, spray,
etc. but for the most part this portion of
their possessions is neglected and the crop
is of the cider apple variety, or wormy or
otherwise inferior. One hears Michigan
apples, Missouri apples and Illinois apples
spoken of in terms of praise, and they COM
mand good prices. but the Indiana apple
does not figure commercially to any extent.
The fact that there has hitherto been no
national organization of commercial apple
growers has led to the present movement.
The president OF the Mississippi Valley AS

fruit-tree enthusiasts, and. although we
have commercial orchards Of our own, we
believe that no man can make a better in
vestment for himself and his children than
to plant an orchard. We have no fear of
overproduction. With the present-day cold
storage facilities it is an impossibility." 1t
will be we'll for enterprising Indiana farm
ers to take note of this December meeting
in order that they may learn from its pro-
ceedings how best to add another profitable
crop to their own output.

Rev. DR.. Coburn, of Chicago, makes the
startling declaration that this century has
opened with more outward manifestations

decessors. To prove his assertion he de-
clares that "palmistry, astrology. occultism,
magical processes and fortune telling are
now publicly and openly ~patronized in a
way that would have been scandalous In
the eighteenth century," This is simply
untrue for the most part, since people are
led by curiosity to patronize such humbugs.
