Yale Teachers mt Work ANON the
Malnys Have Their Own
Troubles.

The letters sent home by the Yals
teachers in the new possessions Of the
United States are full of interest, says
the New York Tribune. They tell more
clearly than do.the usual official reports
the conditions in the islands which the
Americans have to face, and in general
they have been sanguine of the ultimate
success of American educational occu-
patton. A few excerpts from q letter
received by the Yale bureau of self-help
and by the families of the Yale men IN
the islands, in this city, show how the
Yale teachers arc living. Says one OF
the Yale men in writing home:
"The first impression which I received
on reaching my district was a mighty
unfavorabIe n az far as school teach
ing went. All Of us American college
fellows are distributed throughout the
towns, where we were all usually the
only Americans in the place. What
schools there were had natives for
"maestros." and these (they were equal
ly divided among young men and WON
emf, were, on the whole, ignorant. and
unable to get out Of their ruts. In the
school where l was placed, for instance,
I had several experiences right away
that showed me the difference between
a tagged out Spanish civilization and
what I had been. accustomed to in
America. The native teachers were
hopelessly ignorant, l was going to say
illiterate. When I first talked with my
ASSISTANT dandy young fellow who
paid more attention to his patent
leather shoes, white cotton suit and
long finger nails than he did to his own
education-I found that he was unable
to answer even simple Questions in
arithmetic or geography. A map was
a puzzle to him. My first assistant was
just like all the rest l have known since.
and he could not point out any country
Of Europe on the map OF even tell where
his w town was situated. Instead Of
jumping right into the education of the
school children I had to begin with the
teachers. and all Of the fellows say that
the normal schools for teachers they
have carried on have had to come first"

ANCIENT HAWAIIAN DAME.
Native Woman of Mani Who Has Just
Passed Away at the
Age of HIS, +

There has just died at Kamehame,
Kula, on the island Of Maui, Kaona, a
native woman at the age of 118 years,
says a Honolulu report. Her first hus-
band fought In the battle Of IKE Pant
wal o lao" in 1890, and she herself had
some faint remembrance of the event.
She had been married several times. but
neither husband nor children survived
her. Report says that the woman re-
tanned her faculties to the last and could
see clearly without the use Of glasses.
She lived most Of the time in the open
air and smoked a pipe to within a few
weeks of her death.
There are any number of women in
Hawaii we'll over 80 years Of age. Most
OF them are natives, and, as a rule, they
retain their faculties to the end. Moth
er Gulick, who is now the Oldest living
white woman in the island, is reported
to be seriously ill. In six months she
will celebrate her one hundredth birth
day. Her present illness is due to an
accident which occurred a few months
ago. IN which she injured her shoulder
and hip. Up to that time she had been
taking daily trips on the cars and ran
her W sewing machine. Mother Gulick
was born In 1904 at Lebanon, Conn,
and came here more than so years ago
with the missionaries.
Mother Parker Is another Of the ole
missionary mothers In the islands
She is IS years of age.

A great statesman one who had all

1t "a my first afternoon in the
square when a hand-organ began to
grind forth its turgid strains before
the brick house. / looked and listened,
expecting with each moment that
someone would issue from the house
OF doom and drive the dinmaker
away. Instead, a bright black man,
evidently a butler, came and stood on
the porch. An hour went by before
the repertory was. exhausted; then
the black mar gave the organ man a
dollar, and the music and the man
went quietly their ways.
II should think 1t would disturb your

of the porch.
eHe likes It," he replied. THE or
