Prevention Better than Cure

THE true method of training children should be
of prevention of evil rather than cure, less
punishment and inspiration, less reproach and
more stimulation. Fear is mighty poor motive
to use as moral lever Love is higher nobler
fuence 1t implies comradeship, confidence, and
community of interest between parent and child
The child should be taught that right living right
doing is expected of it, that right is normal that
right means happiness that it brings respect and
love The child should be strengthened in his moral
fiber to do right for rights sake, because example,
surroundings influence, and the atmosphere of the
home make 1t the natural way to act and
live. If, when the child dawning reason begins
respond to appeal little act of wrong should
be met, not with anger scolding but with a sad
surprise, though it unexpected that it
seemed impossible he could have done it, the grief
of the parent will seem punishment enough
Children, in their early stages, do act with
clear, deliberate intent to do wrong fixed purpose;
they have the self consciousness that this i'm
plies. They are getting their moral bearings
life, making slips and mistakes, following the line
of least resistance in heredtv and environment and
when they go amiss should gently and firmly be
set right, guided and helped to self guidance.
There are many wrong acts, misdeeds of ignorance
and accident, incident to childhood for which it
would be Just to punish child it would
be to spank it for having the measles
Punishment should have object only: the
good of the child 1t is method of showing him
wherein he has done wrong; it is one method of
shunting derailed train of moral thought back
the rails. When parents in irritation slap child

ing, argument, whipping merely intenshes his
self consciousness and prolongs his sullen rebel
lion.
The boy who leaves his toys scattered on the
floor after playing must be taught that the pleasure
of and the price of responsibility go together
and if he refuses to put his playthings in their
proper place he must forego having them. 1t is
unwise in the parent to stand the child and
by threats, promises, command force it to put
them in order 1t is empty victory for the parent
and the assent of the child under protest does it
real good. Its act seems but the compulsion of
higher power tyrannizing it. The sense of
justice and fairness that exists in all children has
not been called into activity 1t has been governed
not helped to self government.
The moral effect of punishment is its certainty
and its immediateness not its severity. The child
who knows that certain will inevitably result in
punishment is likely to be deferred than
who merely thinks he may possibly have to suffer
Severe arbitrary punishment is usually unjust and
unwiSe. Parents who enthusiasts the sub
ject of corporal punishment, who sniff disdainfully
at the suggestion of milder measures tell some in
stance of terrible misdeed of child, and in tr-
umphant vndicat1on of the onnpotence of the rod,
ask, "W What would your gentle treatment do in
case like that" Had proper treatment been used
in the earlier stages of the child's development the
trait that assumes dramatic awfulness might
have been corrected in its simplest phases.

IRISH CARNIVAL
To Be Given By St Joseph's T. A. Society.

Ao oe uiFcn oY ot JOsepns !. A.
 Society.
 An old fashioned Irish carnival will be given in this city next month and 1t promises to surpass any even, of this kind that has ever been seen in this town. The event will be con- ducted under the auspices of St Joseph's T. A. society and will be held in City hall from September I9 to 26 inclusive. The carnival, which will be in the nature of an exhibit, will be new to the majority of the residents of this city and to them should prove big novelty. The ex- hibit is the property of the Irish Ex- hibit Co. which has invested much money in the same, and Is of such nature that the public will in all probability give 1t much patronage. It has been presented in Hartford and New Haven, where 1t was seen by several Waterburians, all of whom were surprised at the standard of the attraction. Although the coming carnival will in many ways be like fair. as a stage entertainment will be given each evening and plenty of dancing, nevertheless it will surpass fair in many respects. Handsome booths which cost several hundred dollars will be on either side of the hall These booths will be miniature likenesses of historical points in Ire land and will give the public a glimpse of many places for which the Emerald Isle Is noted. The society expects to have so many attractions at the fair that the hall will be filed to tits capacity each evening, conse- quently there will be no combination books in connection with the carni- val. It Is an event which should in- cite much enthusiasm in this city, and the society undertaking 1t should have no difnculty la making 1t a biz success.

Assurances that United States army
transport will be placed at the dis
posal of the commission which has
been appointed to take charge of the
Hawaiian exhibit at the Alaska-Yukon
exposition, have reached Special Agent
Childs. The Interior Department has
asked the War Department for such
accommodations and if a boat is avail
able it will be given for this use. This
means that a great deal of money,
which would otherwise have been used
to pay freight on the exhibits, will be
saved.

the city has written to Mr.. Childs, sug-

canoes be sent to Seattle for use on

HALEIWA ON SUNDAY.

Visitors to Honolulu should not
overlook Halelwa in arranging an It'll
nerary for their stay in the islands.
1t is beautiful spot and the ride over
the Oahu Railway line is interesting.
Nowhere in the country is there a
railroad running so close to the shore
that the sea spray moistens the cars,
This is especially the case at this
time when the wind is in a direction
that makes an exceedingly high surf
along the line. The Haleiwa limited,
leaving on Sunday morning, makes the
run in two hours.

tary Woods report for the week.
Chairman and Members of the Ha-
waii Promotion Committee.
Gentlemen: BY the last steamer, we
received a letter from W. G. Nemyer,
general agent at Chicago for the South
ern Pacific lines, stating that he and
his Office force were doing their utmost
to interest the travelling public in Ha-
wall, being stimulated to renewed eff
fort by Burton Holmes, who gave
four lectures on Hawaii in Chicago
during the week, ending November 81.
Dr. L. B. Sperry writes from Water
loo Iowa. November 18th in part as
lecture five times this season and am
to put it on in two or three cities in
this state during the coming month.
The colored fish plates and night
blooming cereus views attract a great
deal Of attention and comment. In
Boston, where | recently gave Hawaii,
the papers spoke highly of my views
and lecture"
The District Passenger Agent of the
Canadian Pacific Railway Company in
Boston, writes under date of Novem-
Der 10th, Il have just given my map
The Cross Roads of the Pacific to a
lecturer in this city. | would therefore
appreciate it if you could send me an
other one for my Office"

lectures on Hawaii being given in Mil
waukee, Wisconsin; Troy, New York;
Peoria, Illinois and Camden New Jer-

the foot of Maunakea street. If the
Brewer building should remain in its
present location its mauka end would
project into the land to be taken for
the street widening.
Another plan which was published
exclusively in the Star some time ago
is that of extending the Oceanic
wharf through the Allen & Robinson
lumber yard and also running street
along just outside of the structure
which will give access to Queen street
from Allen street directly along the
waterfront.
This plan if carried through will
give first-class access to the water
front for the building to be erected
on Fort street by the Quartermaster's
department of the army. In fact there
is a small strip of land which the
army stands ready to cede to the Ter
ritory for this purpose in order that
this may be accomplished.
