Lessons of the
Honolulu Voyage

Admiral Sperry took full advantage
of the opportunity given him to put his
battleships through fleet evolutions on
the run down from the Coast. 1t was
the first real ocean cruise for him in
command of a fleet, although he took
charge in time to sail the battleships
from San Francisco to the Sound. The
short run between eoaling ports gave
him a unique opportunity to drill his
ship commanders and their officers,
knawing that the extra coal needed in
turning maneuvers, speeding in forma-
ton, four hundred yards from mizzen
to mizzen, and in quick reversals-the
maneuvers fleet would be required to
execute in action-could be replenish-
ed here in Honolulu. IF the voyage
had been a longer one, requiring eco
nomical coal consumption, the very
beneficial evolutions could not have
been performed.
AS it was, however, Admiral Sperry
was able to have daily maneuvers of
his sixteen vessels, putting them
through the formations of battle. For
two hours each day the great shooting
platforms were turned. wheeled, adj
vanced and withdrawn as the signals
from the nagSHlp new.
The deck officers were put in COM
mand of the ships at times, instead of
the captains going on the bridge in
command themselves, as is generally
done when eyolutions out of the ordi-
nary are going forward. Then the va
rious watch officers were ON duty, see
ing what was being done, noting the
orders given and the work of the crews,
,,.Ia lott 70 No
put into practise, how battleship
should be- handled.
As result the officers of the Allan
tie fleet are better drilled today in fleet
and ship management than the officers
OF the American Navy of modern times
have ever been, earning for themselves
in the later maneuvers the encomiums
of their admiral.
The trip down was made under beau
tiful weather conditions, the Pacific liv-
ing up to it's name and never inter
fering in wantonness with the work of
the four divisions. There were no I'M
toward incidents. no serious accidents
and nothing to disable seamen or make
news.
Early yesterday morning the entire
fleet steamed past the settlement on
Molokai, coming in within three miles
of the rock bound coast in order that
the jewellers on the lonely peninsula
might have a glimpse of the glory of
the Navy of their own land
The people of the settlement welcom-
ed the fleet to Hawaii by shooting off
daylight fireworks and assembling on
the shores, as close to the passing war
vessels as was possible. Shortly after
passing MoIokai the vessels of the
Third Division. the Louisiana, Virgil
MIA, Ohio and Missouri, separated from
the main fleet and sailed for Laha-
ina. where they will be coaled and re-
stocked with water from the waiting
auxiliaries there.
These are the only vessels which will
go to Maui none of those here now to
leave until the final sailing of the feet.

DR.. HECK TALKS ON
CARE OF CHILDREN.

Especially to the teachers of the city
schools and those otherwise interested
in the education of children, Professor
w II. Heck, of the University of Vir.
ginia, delivered lecture last night In
Central School on The Care of the
Chld's Health in the Public Schools
Professor Heck made a comparison OF
a child's growth with the position of
person when running. The runner is
in unstable equilibrium, and therefore
easily unbalanced. So child. whose
every part is in the motion of growth
Is most vulnerable to disease. He en-
phasized the Importance of an even
and uniform growth, showing that pro-
gress by fits and starts overdevelops
certain organs, leaving the others
weaker and more susceptible to disease.
Should Punish Teachers.
The growth energy. of child. he
said, should not be called upon to sup
ply the energy needed in the school
room. II this growth energy''is taken
away weaker adult will be the inevi-
table result. The fact that this vital
energy is too often called into SER
vice causes In many instances. the
necessity OF punishment. "If teachers
he added. could be kept in and pun
ished for their offences against the
physical beings of their children. then
there would be less punishment Of
children by teachers
In the opinion of DIR. Heck the relief
is to be found in allowing the teach
ers greater freedom. so that the work
may be varied and exceptions made in
the cause of exceptional pupils. Teach
ers must recognize the individuality in
child and treat ii accordingly.
1t is fortunate. he said iii conclusion,
that a child cannot remember all that
| 1t is required to learn. The subjects
must be reduced to essentials, with
non essentials left out. He advocates
recesses and relaxation as the most
potent factors in early education.
