Henry then went on to tell jeff
Of bis coming to see him to get him
to assist him in stealing his children.
His wife he said was all right and
she would 60 but wouldn't leave the
children. She was waiting for an
opportunity to g,t of. Henry told
JEFF of the land he had on the Brazos
rivers whittier he expected to 20 and
settle in case he got his wife and
children to 60 with him. But he
couldn't and wouldn't 90 without
them. The circumstance was heart
reuding one and touched Mr.. Hughes
in very tender place. Henry re.
minded JEFF that his was very peril
ous undertaking. If the Scales found
out his mission they would be sure to
kill him.
"Well," says jeff, show is it with
the children? Will they want to

they get a chance" said Henry.
cali they'll want to know is that
they'll have protection" THAT

bring them or I'll stay there till
some one hawls me away foot fore

Now Henry, said Mr.. Hughes,
"you take piece Of paper and draw
a diagram Of DR.. Scales house, the
roads leading to 1t from different
directions, the out.houses, trees, gar
dens, fences, etc, so I will not be
mistaken in the place when I get
there. Tell me the best way to 20,
what room they will likely sleep in
and what kind of fastenings to the
doors, gates and so forth, so 1 will
have nothing of this kind to study
when l get on the ground, and III
do the work or die in the attempt" "

The retirement Of Lord Roberts as
lCommander-in-Ch of the British
Army will bring forward Lord Kitche-
ner to the post in every likelihood +.
Roberts though an excellent general
and strict disciplinarian is not the hard
handed man which Kitchener is, and
has found social influence and age
equally against him. Kitchener like
Wellington is a man of iron-the latter
was called the Iron Duke-and would
be able to cope with the influence of

Atlantic. 1t is said that King Edward

idea of operating this as a Territorial

Emperor William of Germany seems
to be a very sick man. Since his father
died of a throat affection. it is very
natural that there should be grave
fears about the present emperor, whose
throat is also affected. The emperor
is by far the strongest personality
among the European rulers and he has
done much for his country No. loss
is irreparable, no man is INDISPENSABLE.
The hour always produces the man.
But should anything untoward happen
to the Emperor ii would be a very Sc
rious matter for Germany just at pre-
sent.

THE
SUMMER SCHOOL
OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION ATKINSON
FORMALLY OPENED SUMNER SCHOOL AT NORMAL
SCHOOL THIS MORNING WITH AN ABLE ADDRESS,
CHOSE "EXCELSIOR" FOR HIS THEME

The formal opening of the Summer
school occurred this morning at the
Normal School corner of Fort and
School streets. The school had been
organizing into the various classes
during the week but the school proper
was not called together until today, to
hear the opening address by Superin-
tendent of Public instruction Atkinson.
Professor Wood called the school to
order and introduced Superintendent
Atkinson.
Mr.. Atkinson delivered a very able
address, Excelsior" being his theme.
He caught the sympathy of his hearers
and his remarks We're followed with
the closest attention, the audience be-
ing moved to tears.
In opening his remarks he said that
the consideration of educating the
young and of developing them into good
citizens and high idealed men and wo-
men, who shall carry on the traditions
of our race, must always be absorbing.
After referring to Longfellow's trite
poem Excelsior"
Great thoughts" he continued, well
expressed become common, because they
are communis, ready to be of service.
Every proverb is trite, but what would
language be without it's proverbs, the
condensed wisdom of the masses, home
like, salted, having that smack of hu-
man insight which is the gift not of
transcendentalism, or emasculated dill
letanteism or aestheticism but is good
hard common sense. Common sense
that attribute of the hard workers and
the hard thinkers of the world, who
call a spade a spade and yet have In
their hearts and pour forth from their
lips the true poetry of life. Common
sense,-the simple expression of the
grand and the beautiful, which is never
so well expressed as when told in the
language that is understood by young
as by the old, by the educated as by
the uneducated by the dull as by the
brilliant and gifted. We have to rise
to a voice, calling from afar, we have
to take for our motto "EXcelsior!" and
we have to reach our ideal by the sim
plest means.
There is no higher education. The
education of the common school is
higher education. The education of
the kindergarten is higher education.
The education at the mothers knee is
higher education, since each of these
tend to bring the child higher There
is, however an advanced education.
The higher education is to me educa-
tlon as a whole. Education from the
earliest days of the school life. Higher
education is the striving after the ideal
the rising step by step from the tabula
rasa, the white page of the ehild's mind
to the fully developed mind of the
grown man, stored with knowledge and
ripened with experience, Every step
in this is step in higher education.

HUMPHREYS
ARGUMENT
COUNSEL IN THE SUMNER DISBARMENT
HEARING COURT ASSUMES RESPONSIBILITY AS
PRINCIPAL MEMBER OF THE FIRM INVOLVED AND
VIGOROUSLY ASSAILS THE ATTORNEY GENERAL.

Attorney Generals office to ask about
the charges Magoon had preferred.
I'm his office as Deputy Attorney
General was Emil c. Peters, a former
partner of Magoon," said Humphreys
''and one who took part in several of
the important interviews testified to
here. Yet the Attorney General states
that at that time he did not know what
the charges were nor whether they re-
ferred to Watson or not, and states
that he had never talked the matter
over with Peters and found out what
charges Peters partner were going to
make. Yet this whole case is as much
a defense of the conduct of ]. Alfred
Magoon and his partner who is now in
the office of the Attorney General as it
Is a prosecution of F. E. Thompson and
A. S. Humphreys"
4. Humphreys argument was full of
sarcastic shots at the Attorney Cen
eral, and George A. Davis came in for
one which he didn't seem to enjoy as
much as the bench and some others in
the room. In connection with a state
ment OF Magoon's that he did not know
the title or the issues of one Sumner
case, on an afternoon when he assisted
Davis in the case in court, Humphreys

of not knowing what he was doing.
Magoon's statement that he had assist
ed and procured evidence in the case
without knowing what case it was, was
characterized as utterly reckless"
John X. Summers testimony was re-
ferred to as worthy of little reliance.
Humphreys quoted w. r. Davis state
ment that the old man had said the
night before testifying, that he would
say he didn't remember, when ques-
tion by Humphreys and Thompson. al
so that Sumner was "tickled to death
to see you fellows here in trouble
Sumner, said Humphreys, had shown
mental disintegration gone beyond the
point of moral responsibility, or utter
disregard Of the solemntty of an oath,
and that candor and frankness due the
court in proceeding of this sort"
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1903-07-09

the mind, the development of character
the discipline of self the repression of
what is evil in us, the cultivation and
expansion of what is good, worthy and
noble. All this is higher education.
Nothing is too small, nothing too great
for higher education to consider or to
strive after. Higher education is
true education.
I'VE have. as l have said, laid our
work of foundation, and we still have
to work upon it, but it is time that we
advanced a step farther. Our first
work has been the assimilating of our
varied races. This we have done
through the crucible of the English Ian
guage. Had we not had some COM
mon ground work such as this, where
would our educational system be now?
With us English is not an exotic, it
has become the hardy plant of the soil,
and whoever comes here, or whoever is
born here will have to understand Eng
lish speech, and will have to use Eng
lish speech, if he is to take any COM
manding influence not only in affairs
political, but in commerce, in profess
sional life. in social life or in any of
leads. Our English work, or better
perhaps our work in English, has been
a brilliant success. English is the
language of the county. Though de-
bates may be carried on in the Legis-
lature in Hawaiian, it is the English
version of the debates which the young
Hawaiian, the young Portuguese, the
young Japanese, the young Chinese
wants to read"
The speaker continuing said that the
success of education in Hawaii had not
been due to the heads but to those who
had carried it out. 1t is due to those
whom he was addressing. He said that
there were dragons that were aroused
against the school system. These were
the dragons of rut of old usage, the
surly dragon, the dragon of theory. and
the dragon of personal antagonism.
The speaker said that If the advanced
education was to come it was to come
through mathematics. In discussing
this feature of the work of the teach
ers he said:
"If we are going to have advanced
education we must gird our loins,
throw away childish things and meet
the subject of mathematics. When one
gets on TO the plane of mathematics,
one reaches the plane of abstract reas-
oning. The world pivOts upon mathe-
matics and not upon the flowers of
rhetoric or literature. That the edu-
cation of the islands needs the discip-
line Of mathematics must be plain to
any one who has listened to what
have already said
1t was also necessary to advance
along the line of language. The chill
dren should also be given manual
training. The teachers duty was more
over to help uplift the character of the
pupils and try to help TO make them
able to uplift the moral tone of the
state.

The Supreme Court was crowded all
the argument of A. S. Humphreys in
the Sumner disbaTment matter. The
attorney occupied all the morning with
a brilliant address to the court, in
which the attorney general and several
of the witnesses for the prosecution
were unmercifully excoriated. Hum
phreys argument was begun yesterday
afternon and was not finished when
court took a recess at noon today.
Humphreys refel red sarcastically at
the start to Andrews argument in
which the latter stated that among all
the uncomplimentary titles which had
been applied to Humphreys, Andrews
himself applying some of them, no one
had ever called him a fool. Humphreys
quoted an old proverb to the effect that
it was well to have the good opinion of
even Il dog and said he had never fol-
lowed the saying and didn't endorse it.
Il have never wanted the good opinion
of a dog" said Humphreys.
In the course Of his argument Hum
phreys referred with much heat to the
Testimony by Andrews regarding his
| interview with Watson and he denied
in strong terms the charge that he had
tried to shift the burden of the case to
other shoulders. IF were eXonerated
and my friend and former partner
Thompson declared deserving of pun
ishment in this matter" said Humph-
reys, Il should consider it a far great
er disgrace than the judgment of this
court against me. If there is any such
thing as the relationship of principal
and agent in this case, let me be con-
sidered the principal. l gladly accept
the burden for myself" Humphreys
also expressed in the highest terms his
confidence in the integrity of his part
ner Watson. He charged Attorney
General Andrews with "premeditated
perjury" in his Testimony regarding
Watson's conversation with him, on
| tn eoccasion when Watson went to the
