ton between the child and the plant
should be more personal than the dol
lar-relation. Financial stimulus NAV
be excellent in business, but should not
be over-exercised in education
The ideally managed garden is one
in which each child labors. both for
himself, individually, and for the com
mon good; his labors being carefully
supervised, and used educationally. A
typical report, from the Waianae
school, illustrates this combination of
individual and communal labor.
Twenty of the larger bows
have been divided into two classes.
with an overseer to each. One class
works from $50 to 900 a. M. while
the other works from 300 to $3.50 ..
m. Each boy owns two plots 5x16 feet
on which egetables-radishes. beets,
carrots, turnips, lettuce. etc. are being
planted. Besides, as general property,
the boys have sixty banana plants
which are watered every ether day. -
Plants suitable for school gardens in
Hawaii are taro. rubber sisal, ba-
mana, pineapple. coffee, forage grasses.
vanilla, tobacco. corn, sweet potatoes,
string beans, onions, tomatoes, sugar
cane, Chinese cabbage and yam.
Three planting is a prominent fea-
ture of school work here For exam
pie, Wailuku reports the planting of
125 trees recently; KaIuaaha, so trees;
and these examples are by no means
exceptional. This extensive advance
has been made possible largely through
the interest and aid of the Territorial
Bureau of Forestry, which has sent
much valuable information to teach
ers from its offices, and thousands of
young trees from its nurseries
The outlook for school garden work
in the Territory if Hawaii is indeed
bright. The movement, already well
established, and recognized as an es-
sential factor in the education of
these peoples, will continue to develop
healthily, as the whole school system
normally develops. The work here is
by no means perfect There are MANY
gaps to be filled, many problems I'M
solved, especially with regard to the
actual teaching. One must constantly
bear in mind that he is not raising
plants, but children; and that his sue
cess is to be measured not by bushel
of beans, but by human lives. The
center of the garden is the soul OF
the child. 1t should be, in verify and
truth, a kindergarten, a child gar
den" This is no easy task Bringing
a rare fruit to maturity is mere tow
ing compared to the mighty task of
perfecting and enriching a child's soul
-rarest, most fragile blossom of all.
The difficulty is many times multi
piled if the child belongs to another
race But the gardening instinct is
strong in all children. Perhaps it IS
remnant Of the Garden-Paradise from
which the souls of children come. This
island-world is a land run riotous
with green-heaven-c climbing valleys
lined with green tropical jungles:

A well written description of the Ke-
kaha plantation and the, country sur
rounding it, appearing in the Garden
Island, concludes with the following
concerning the small farmer and his
chances in cane growing in Hawaii:

the government lands, of which there
is a large acreage in the lands eultivat-
ed by the Kekaha Plantation--in fact.
they are all government lands. the lease
to which will expire in few years
is the subject of a good deal of anxious
speculation at the present time
- 1t the government pursues a liberal
and far-sighted policy, these lands are
in position to support a good popu-
lation of independent American far
mers, and it may be that steps will
be taken to divide them up into a

must not be smaller than 100 acres, at
the least and it will probably be ad-
yisable TO make them 200 or 500 acres

are to be attracted here. and the ones
who will be worth the most to the eoun-
try.
1sAnd the best class are the ones
whom we most want, and who will be

they can be safely tided over the first
few years while they are acquiring the
experience necessary to enable them to
meet the new conditions here. For be-
sides the long season of eighteen
months before the first crop of cane
can be harvested. there are sometimes
setbacks to the proper growing and
harvesting of the crop, which would
not be taken into his calculations by
the farmer accustomed to the simpler
business of raising farm crops in the
States. and which might be very dis
couraging to a man who was not pre-
pared for them.
t'But though the discouraging fea
tgres of canegrowing may be greater
than those encountered on the mainland
farm, still the rewards, once the farm
has passed through the experimentation
necessary to find out the methods best
suited to our climate and conditions
are also very much greater.

perienee of one cane planter in these
Islands may be pointed out. He had

WOMAN BARRED AS

cording to the opinions of the experts

Even if she rides ever SO well and
isn't afraid. she can not play.
Miss Eleanor Sears found this out,
a despatch from the polo headquar-
tiers, dated April 10, saying: 1
Miss Eleanora Sears, Newport and
Boston society girl, snubbed by the
players, is pouting and expressed her
feelings today as follows:
The men won't let me play with
them. l guess I'm no account because
happen to be a woman"
All this afternoon Miss Sears. clad
in corduroy breeehes and boots. strobe
about the veranda of the clubhouse al
/ the Crossways Field, waiting to be in.
Vited to participate in the games. The
players. however. would not permits
her to enter their games, explaining:
She rides nicely and wonderfully
for woman, but riding nicely is not
riding for polo, and it would be toC
much of a strain on our chivalry. b.
sides, she might be killed or injured
in the game"
Miss Jennie Croker. of New Yorl
and San Francisco, heiress to the
Croeker fortune, also believes tha'
women may ride in mems attire, an(
viii play against Miss Sears, so tina
the young woman from Newport may
not go back East without a game"

JAPANESE VIEW OF THE
POLICY OF REORGANIZATION

, rance 90 the working out Of the pol
icy of the Americanization OF these
Islands. The Japanese can not Sc
! cure public land, and this right to Sc
cure land and maintain a permanent
foothoId on the soil is for Americans.
! without that right the japanese can
not stand in the way Of the growth
/! of the American population.
ION the other hand, the industries
which the japanese have established
! here are new: they are industries
which none other but the japanese
| would or could have established here.
| They would never be considered by
white people. The fishing industry has
| been firmly established, systematized
and developed. to the benefit of the
white consumer; the rice industry has
| been developed mainly by the Chinese,
although many Japanese are now en-
| gagged in it, carrying it forward; the
soy manufactures are ours alone;
sake brewing is a distinctly Japanese
| industry, and the manufacturing Of
macaroni is something which we are
carrying on with success and without
opposition to the whites.
THE japanese have survived in Ha-
wall because our race has proven to
be fittest in certain lines. One i'm
portant instance is our fitness as la
borers in the cane fields. We are
helping Americans to develop this
American Territory.
In connection with the wide ques-
ton of the right of the Japanese to
be in Hawaii, it is not out of place
to remember the contention of Amer
lea for the open door in the Far East.
Why an open door for Asia and a
closed door for Hawaii?
This is the meeting place of the
East and the West. Providence SO
designed these Islands. Is the plan
of Providence to be thwarted? Is pol
itics greater than geography?
There need be no alarm over the
fact that at present the Japanese out
number those of any other of the
score of nationalities to be found here.
We are barred from further increase
through immigration. To us the door
swings only outwards, and through
that door pass each month some two
hundred of our number. What had
been thought by the thinkers of both
continents as the one spot where all
nations could meet and mingle on an
equal footing for the working out of
the problem of the survival of the fit
test, as a spot where an amalgamation
of races might be brought about, is
now to all practical purposes to be
forced into new conditions. We were
welcomed; we came end labored; now,
agents are scouting Europe for others
to reap where we have sown, without
the positive knowledge that they have
any special aptitude as reapers.
This is unfair to the Japanese of
Hawaii and to the sugar planters as
well. Until the substitute is found
and brought here, the planters must
depend upon us. There is no assur-
ance that that substitute will be here
and prepared to take up our work be-
fore we are gone, driven practically
from a country in the development of
which we were great part. There is
danger ahead for the sugar industry
of Hawaii.
THE Americanization of Hawaii
will be carried through. Nothing can
stop that. But, guard yourself, you
advocates, lest the reform be at
tempted too quickly"

Discussing "The AmericaniZation OF

point, the Hawaii Shinpo, in its Eng
fish edition, urges that haste be made
slowly lest injustice be done the Jap

Shinpo says:
Reforms to be permanent must be
undertaken conservatively and carried
ahead in a logical sequence. Too
often, reforms are undertaken with a
rush. carried to an extreme, and the
cause suffers from the swing back of
the pendulum.
..The Americanization of Hawaii is
a. case in point--a reform in the eyes
of Americans and something entirely
logical from the standpoint of an
American. It can be overdone if done
with too great a desire for haste. how
ever. with injury to Hawaii and to
the cause.
MANY prominent persons from the
mainland who have visited Hawaii,
officially and otherwise, have expressed
themselves as impressed with the pre-
ponderance of the Asiatic population
of the Islands. 1t is true that Japa-
nese, Chinese and Koreans form
great part of the population of Ha-
wall 1t would be idle to either deny
or attempt to minimize this fact, but
we do not believe that the conclusions
jumped at by some of these visitors,
that such a state of affairs must come
to an immediate stop. are the best
conclusions, nor the steps advocated
by these visitors, in many cases. the
best steps to be taken for the advance
ment of Hawaii on American or any
other lines.
THE Asiatic population of Hawaii
can not in any way be construed as
a menace to Hawaii. On the contrary,

they have been in the past essential

Creamery Nearing Completion

The new Creamery is nearing
completion, and it is hoped TO have
all the work finished and the
machinery installed within the
next few weeks. so that the plant
can be started as soon as possible
after the first of the new year.
All of the machinery has arrived
and much of it has been placed
in position.
Expert wOrkmen are now en-
gagged in putting all of the machin-
cry and appliances in first-class
arrangement and condition. and
when completed, the plant will be
the most modern of its kind in the
Valley anywhere.
There is one thing of importance
which should be borne in mind by
the farmers who expect to deliver
milk To the Creamery.
You should at once notify Mr..
W. y. Macomb of the number of
cows which YOU will have To start:
and the number of milk cans (if
anyl which you will need.
Do not delay this important
matter until next week. or to-
morrow, or any time, but drop
Mr. Macomb letter or postal with
the desired information at once.
Do not fear that the Creamery
cannot accommodate all the cows
which can be secured. The only
fear Is that not enough will come
forward at the start. Have your
cows well kept and fed, and your
returns from your milk each month
will amply repay YOU for the
trouble.
Neglecting the proper feed and
care of the COWS will mean that
your milk will not be as rich as it
should, and the price will, natu-
rally, be lower.
Those who give the best attention
to their COWS will receive the high
est price, as the price will be based
upon the amount Of butter-fat in
each gallon of milk.
Each man will receive the same
price per pound for butter-fat, but
if your nelghbor receives more
pounds from a stated number of
cows than you do, yon will know
that he is feeding his COWS, and
taking better care of them, than
you are doing.
Send in your list of COWS to Mr..
Macomb, and tell him how many
milk cans you will need. Do il
now-today.
He must have this information,
and you are the only one who can
furnish it.
