enough of drudgery, and want some
thing better. What men want is a
competency early in life; and they will
take the road that, to them, seems to
lead most directly to it. They forget
or do not know, that men who make
the fortunes are the hardest worked
men in the world; and that. most OF
them struggle long before they succeed.
They do not know, or they forget, that
few men have sufficient strength OF
mind or body to endure the struggle till
success comes.
Second. Most of mankind are phys
icaIly lazy and want something easy
to do if they do anything. Language
and Arithmetic can be studied at ease,
and, later, applied from a chair.
Third. The old time idea OF, gentle
man has not passed away. These stud
and clean clothing.
Fourth. Office work has been better
paid for than manual work. But this
condition is passing away, and pupils
should have their attention called to
this fact, and to the newer conditions.
In many places office men get less than
skilled mechanics, and employment in
offices is not so easily obtained, as IN
the trades. It is only the exceptional
Office man that is sure of his place and
receives a good salary. And these
newer conditions will soon be true in
Honolulu, at least so far as Office
work is concerned. In future, the
large salaries viii be paid more and
more to men trained in laboratory
work, in engineering, in agriculture, in
mining, in transportation; and the
next salaries Will be paid to the men
who can best assist in these lines.
Fifth. The old systems of success
are still more talked of in the home
and on the street than the new sys-
TENS. But in the homes of the future,
the point of view will be different and
the home influence will be for other
training. Evidently, parents or teach
ers still tell children they may be-
come President if they try hard.
Isn't it time to drop that old myth,
and tell the children instead, they may
become good mechanics or raise good
potatoes, if they try hard enough.
Other reasons may occur to other
teachers. But these seem enough, and
good enough to take the burden of fail
ure off the teachers of Manual Train
ing and of Nature Study, and place it
where it belongs,-on poor human ma
ture and the older system of training.
Now let me suggest what we learn
from Mr.. Griffiths' study.
We learn, principally, that children
don't know very much anyway, as to
what is best for them. Even we of
more years and larger experience may
not know as much about it as we
should. But we know more about it
than the children do. And this will be
true for some time to come. Our duty
is to make out the best course of study
our experience can devise, to meet the
new conditions, and then hold the chill
dren to that course
The best things we have in life, have
been forced upon US by men wiser than
we are.

temperance legislation, education ana
prevention must vary to meet these
local conditions successfully.
CD Moral and religious suasion as
usually used by the temperance socie-
ties and churches. does not reach the
classes which need help most and prob
ably can never effectively reach any
large number.
g. Legislation is only one means
and perhaps a comparatively unimpor-
tant one, in promoting real temper
ance; its value lies chiefly in the con-
slant agitation which it involves which
results in the creation of a better pub
lie sentiment. It is positively corrupt
ing when not enforced.
ca Back of temperance legislation is
the spoils system; until this is reform
ed, no really effective temperance leg
islation can be enforced.
(5) The end to be sought in temper
ance reform is the reformation of pop
ular habits, by education, prevention,
and diversion.
go The leisure problem equals in i'm
portance the labor problem and sur
passes it in difficulty. The saloon an
swers two demands, j. e. for liquor and
for recreation. If the demand for rec
ISd(lOI CAN DS met III OtiiSI W cly
quately, the demand for liquor viii de-
cline. But such recreative substitutes
must be cheap and numerous, equally
as attractive as the saloon, and divorce
ed from philanthropy. Everything
which keeps young people off the
streets or which invites men to take
their pleasure in the company of decent
women, aids in prevention.
"a No effective reform can be Sc
cured until the cooperation of all
classes, ali creeds and no creeds, and
especially of moderate drinking men
can be enlisted.
(S) There must be a complete modif-
cation of the present legal method of
treating drunkards, in the direction of
the probation system, cumulative SEN
tence and custodial care.
CO. Drinking may be classed with
gambling, prize-fghting and licentious-
ness, in that the fundamental remedy
must be education in voluntary self
control. Legislative, educational and
recreative measures should always
have this in view, rather than coercion
and final suppression. Virtue is of lit
tie value that is not self-made and
Q0) Men cannot be saved against
their will. 1t should be our object to
make it easier for a man to be decent
than indecent and thus to create a
wider and wider public sentiment in
favor of decency and temperance.

Twas the night before Christmas,
And all through the house,
Not O. creature was stirring,
Not even a mouse.
When mama awoke with start and
a shake,
And wondered why papa
Was so wide awake;
A rumbling and roaring
Soon came to their ears
A noise that would follow them,
All through their years.
For down near the bath room
The water rushed out,
And it caused poor papa
And mama to shout.
'Oh, why did we make such a fearful
mistake;"
ooh, John dear, I fear that
Ny poor heart will break,
Unless you will promise
That tomorrow you1l call
Bath, the plumber, and have him
Go over it all.
And then no more leaks,
For we know that it's true,
That folks always call Bath
When there's plumbing to do
