Our educational nethods are not adapt

there has been more progress than in

educational processes than those Of medl-

changes that have been made are for the
worst. For example, we cram the stud

rather than give him strength for his
work.
Education is not learning. Many learn
ed men are not educated and many edll-
Gated men are not learned. Education is

should vary with that function. The man
who is to be an editor does not require
the same education as the man who is to
be a farmer or merchant. The student

for this work was collected among the

studying over the situation. decided
that to go over to New York before
learning just what he could offer these
people would be like dumping the ex-
pense money In a rat hole. He would
spend the money to go to Ellis Island
and ask few people II they would
come to Hawaii. when they asked him
what he had to offer. he must respond
that he didn't exactly know but could

Paxton would have been very fool
ish to have spent the money without
first very thoroughly canvassing the
situation here. In furtherance of this
idea circulars and forms of possible
contracts for settlers were sent to the
plantation managers in order to gain
correct idea of what they. could do.
