If the question is asked, where
in my experience have I found
the best work, I let my mind run
back over the long expanse of
years, and here I find teacher
in cred schoolhouse" by the
wayside, whose education was
limited, but who put conscience
and love into her work and made
the school power in the neigh
borhood. Here again find a
strong woman in the corps of
graded school, who so mingled
patience, grace, endurance, kind
ness, and commonsense in her
daily work as to conquer difficult
ties which would have swamped
a college president. I neither
asked, nor would I now ask, to
see her diploma or from what
college she graduated. On the
other hand, some of the poorest
teaching I ever witnessed was
done by teachers who ranked
highest on the books of the ex-
aminer, proficient in book knowl-

edge, but in the art of instruction
woefully deficient. I went to
school to such a teacher when I
was ten years old, but my father
had to take hold and help me be-
fore I could solve my "sums" in
long division. She tried in vain
to help me.
The present method of examin-
ing teachers is faulty in two re-
spects at least. 1t does not aim
at discovering what the candi-
date knows, but takes account
entirely of what he does not
know, and makes up his record
from his ignorance. Again, it
makes too little account of what
the teacher has done in the past,
and gives no opportunity to re-
veal what he can do in the art
of instruction.
That sums it up from my
point of view. To pile on
examination after examination
is the surest way to kill the
teaching spirit, and the teaching
spirit is the life of the teacher.
We are keeping up the never
ending grind of exacting book
knowledge, but we cannot meas
ure the teachers worth to her
pupils by our present methods.
If we cannot change these
methods we can, and must, miti-
gate them, or reduce a necessary
evil to a minimum. With few
alterations, the following from
Ebert Hubbard's era" for Sep
TENDER serves my purpose in ex-
pressing what I want to say:
Until we slough off cowardice
and select teachers for all our
schools on competence, character
and personality, and not on ex-
aminations, or percentages, or de-
grees, or diplomas, the ideal will
remain aloof on the far horizon,
and refuse to come to make her
home with us"

loved city. lhere really is no
one thing in the way of a home
that approximates to, or savors
of, Kings Daughters Home"
No, there is not and there is the
great need of one. Very we'll.
What we mean to say is this:
that there are scores of working
women, very worthy women,
Christian women, employed on
meager salaries, by the week or
by the day or the month, and that
can afford to pay a small part
only for room and meals. 1t is
really hard, very hard, for them
to make that little income meet
the demands of food and raiment.
Often they are constrained to live
in the most frugal manner as to
lodging and table board. But, if
there can be Home, plain, sweet,
neat, with good nourishing
menu, three times a day, what a
blessing!
Now, these workers cannot af-
ford to spend time, strength and
car fare travelling in the morn
ing few miles; they must be
reasonably near to their place of
work. The Mary N. Castle Es-
tate will, in all probability, give
the lot for this philanthropic pur-
pose (the lot is not for sale be
it said), and it is the lot opposite
Kawaiahao Church. 1t is central
and not far from the different
churches. 1t is convenient in
every way. 1t is princely gift,
a right royal favor; and may God
bless the Castles. In this small
rented house on Makiki street is
plainly to be seen, "every day,
every hour the urgent exigency
of a roomy home, capable of meet
the wants of at least half hun
dred and more negatively
knocking at the door. These are
facts, plain truths set down by us
in homely fashion, but to the wise
and the far-seeing Of our COM
munity, a nut full of meat.
My dear readers, we ask you
kindly, to think kindly Of our
plea for a large, plain two-story
structure on that lot, with lanais,
wide open doors, good rooms,
baths, rest room, SUN room, etc.,
ETC., and to give of your abund-
ance if you have abundance. We
are appealing to the well-to-do
and the generous if they shall
perchance be minded to help.
There is so much giving done
in Honolulu, so many asking aid,
that one feels almost ashamed to

The registration fee alone, under

third of the first months salary out

was very carefully talked over and
it was finally decided that for some
reason or other the struggle for a
matron had become a political one
and must be dealt with from that
standpoint. A resolution was
drawn endorsing the stand taken
by the club and presented to almost
every body in the city. 1t was en-
dorsed by every one to whom it
was presented except the Chamber
of Commerce.
We further investigated condi-
tons in the Jail and felt justifica-
ton more than ever for our stand.
On February % we made our ap-
peal to the council, and 1t proved
to be hornets nest we stirred up!
Evidently the "city fathers" were
not used to the truth in such abun-
dant quantities! NO CHARGES
AGAINST ANY MEMBER OF THE
POLICE FORCE WE'RE MADE
THAT NIGHT ON THE FLOOR
OF THE COUNCIL BY THE
SPEAKER! However, IL the spokes-
man Of the committee had known
as much then as she knows now
PERSONAL CHARGES MIGHT
HAVE BEEN MADE! Before the
public meeting we first had a
stormy session Zone of the famous
star chamber sessions) with the
council, and the councilmen with
two exceptions took a definite
stand against the smatrons. eve
were asking for three matrons at
that time.) So it became my un-
pleasant duty to tell why We need
ed matrons, on the floor of the
council. 1 spoke of CONDITIONS
very plainly, but did not introduce
any affidavits, for we still cher.
ished the forlorn hope, as Mrs. Hut.

still young at this political game
and had the audacity to believe
that the council and public would

ity in telling of CONDITIONS. We

GENTLEMEN and in politics, too!

told that we did not ask for an in
vestigation of the Jail, but for
THREE NATIONS. The matrons
would be a remedy for the condf
tons.
This Is one thing l want the pub
lie Of this city to remember: THE
WOMAN'S CLUB DID NOT ASK
FOR AN INVESTIGATION OF
THE CITY JAIL! They consented
to present their proofs to a com.
mittee, which should meet in pri-
vate sessions, and they have never
in any way or manner clouded the
fair name of Spokane! Whence
cOmeth all this. talk, then? From
the disordered brains of newspaper
men? Did 1t arise from the wound
ed dignity of the council? Could
1t be the vain vaporings of a guilty
conscience? The future will I'M
doubtedly disclose the mystery!
1t only remains for the spokes-
man of the Womans club commit
tee to present to the public proof
for the STATEMENTS WHICH
SHE REALLY DID MAKE. The
statements which Mayor Pratt said
she made, which the acting chief
said she made, the statements
which the newspapers said she
made with the exception Of The
Press)-well, they simply were
NOT made.
If the above mentioned gentle
men had been present, assuming
that they brought with them a fair
knowledge of the English language,
they might perhaps have grasped
the obvious fact that no personal
charges were made against any
member of the police department,
the mayor. Ostrander, Shaefer or
any one lse.
Only one other solution of the
puzzle remains. DID the reporters
misunderstood? 1t cannot be that
these worthy knights Of the pencil
were in error-perhaps-perish
the thought-the man higher UP
''the knight of the blue pencil
was to blame!
The proofs of the statements

the message that the responsibility

be remedied at once. Happy in
deed the state of mind which would
make such a conclusion possible!
Acting on this hypothesis, after
a resolution had been passed by
the general club a committee was
appointed to go before the INCL
and point out to the honorable
fathers just where the policy of
the city was at fault regarding the
treatment of women in the jails.
We were listened to with respect
full silence and the council passed
resolution to the effect that one
matron should be put on the city
payroll. We. withdrew from the
council chamber with mingled feel,
ings. Those of us who knew the
game" had feeling way down
in the bottom Of our hearts that
we had not yet heard the last OF
the matron. Sure enough, about a
week later the morning paper
'trumpeted" forth that the council
had performed with dexterity one
of their famous reversals on the
matron question. And the Salvation
lassie would still be ION the job,
but by the advice Of Acting Chief
Sullivan, WOULD GET $45 a
