THE SAME OLD GAME.

The closing of various schools for the
holidays brought to the city a doting
father from an adjoining State, to es-
cort home his pretty seventeen-year-
old daughter from a well known young
women's boarding school. When he
came with her to the school at the be-
ginning of the term it was understood
that she was to apply herself closely to
her studies and to have no callers
whatever.
The fond father was much fattered
with the account the principal gave of
his daughter, setting her forth as de-
voted to study and a model of pro-
priety. AS he was about to make his
adieu she casually asked:
THE child has seen no one-positive-
ly no one to distract her mind from her
books-except, of course. her brothers"
Her brothers!" echoed the father in
amaement.
Yes. indeed" replied the principal,

a rule not to recommend to the Presi-

Service of any one who does not speak
the language of the country to which
appointment is desired. Now, I do

Mr.. Kimberley smiled furtively.

NoTs A FAIR PLEsIso1gE.

| Editor Advertiser: am not parent
but | have been interested in the discus
sion of the school question, having been
very slow at school work myself, and ]
have an opportunity to hear something
of the three sides of the case as know
some of the teachers personally and |
live in family in which there are
/ children who are pupils at Punahou.
Yesterday afternoon I heard a young
school girl telling about the answers re-
ceived to that plebiscite and the teacher s
comments on it. His queer smile" at
one mother who wanted no homework
and her child taking four hours over
two 1essons-the laugh that followed.
Then the children's comments among
themselves afterwards.
One girl, a bright scholar, said my
mother wanted to say that | had too
much school work at home, but l told
her if she said that, that l should be
ashamed to go back to school, because
they would make such fun of me-" Her
mother was persuaded to yield to the
girl. Others said I'VE couldn't make
our mother say so. She said she didn't
believe in school work at home at all.
We told her we should be laughed at,
and we were"
How much can we believe in the
boosted candor of the answers, when
we know of one case where the parent
has been persuaded into expressing an
opinion contrary to her own, in order
that her child should not be ridiculed?
Who shall blame her in view of the
children who were ridiculed and suffer
ed for their mothers moral courage?
I would like to suggest to the teachers
in this discussion, that they
never will get the true answers to their
questions, as long as they bring the sub
Ject before the children themselves, in
the way that has been adopted this time
To imply that parent is actuated en-
tirely by the conditions in the case of
her own child is a very narrow view.
Those who really have the question most
at heart, think not only of their own
but of innumerable others who !
have been victims of the system
The whole school question is one that !
mas agitated the minds of all thoughtful I
people for years, and all information |
md suggestions for remedying the evils |
we all recognize would be as interesting
% the public as to the teacher We i
should be pleased to have some authori-
alive statement from Punahou embody- |
ng those interesting answers to the
PRACTICAL questions.
