Kailua, Kona, Hawaii, where a
good grade of cotton cloth was
actually being made. This was
in 1887. The wives of the mis-
sionaries taught the weaving of
cotton, and the records say that
their pupils soon surpassed them
in dexterity.
"And all of this cotton was
raised in small patches by indi-
viduals. Even under those COIL
ditions the reports from Wash
ington indicate that the cotton
grown here produced the very
finest grade of lint. The cotton
which we find growing here
about, and which is generally
called wild cotton, is in reality
the Sea Island cotton brought
here in the olden days.
Sea Island cotton, OF which
225 pounds is produced to the
acre on the mainland under the
most favorable conditions, we can
produce here at the rate of 400
pounds to the acre.
There is no doubt but that our
conditions here are just about as
nearly ideal as possible for the
production of Sea Island cotton.
Cotton is eminently the poor
mans crop, for it can be raised
with the minimum of expense and
brings the maximum returns.
The very ease with which they
can produce their cotton is the

CONTINUATION SCHOOLS"
Boston Educators in Favor of the
German Idea.

Boston Educators in Favor Of the
German Idea.
In the near future it is expected that
the industrial scope of the Boston
schools will be extended by the crea-
ton of what are known in Germany as
continuation schools" They are re-
marakbly successful there, but have
never been tried in this country.
Chairman David A. Ellis Of the
school committee recently visited Ger
many and it was there that he got the
idea. 1t is the purpose to have the
continuation school" serve as link
between the regular day session and
the evening school to provide for
those who by age or occupation are
unable to attend the former and are
too tired at night for the latter.
Such people, of whom there are
many in the city, are at present
beyond the reach of the school system,
and it is the belief of Mr.. Ellis that
by holding courses each day at con-
venient hour great benefit would be
conferred both on the scholars them
selves and their employers.
Every employer" he says, "knows
the difficulty of getting skilled and
competent men upon his payrolls, and
hn nj fnH hn OF
willing to assist in raising the stndard
of those who work for them.
1T isn't case of charity with them
1t is good business. In Germany the
employers are the warmest supporters
of the continuation schools and the
business men of America are not less
far-Seeing.
The school board is endeavoring in
every way to increase the actual earn
ing power of the school graduates. A
great fault of the old-time school sys-
TEN was that it failed to recognize
adequately the fact that the great ma
jority of scholars will never enter any
of the professions.
1T educated all alike to a great eX-
tent, and left them with neither a
profession, business nor trade. The
results were that it turned out high
school graduates by the thousands not
well fitted to do their part in the
worlds work.
AT present the purpose is to correct
this unhappy result. Every effort is
made to give the coming generation
chance to pick with intelligence the
trade or profession for which their in
clinationS best fit them.
Education should not only ground
pupil in knowledge of books, but
should as well have certain cash
value. The system now being rapidly
developed in Boston is doing this bet
