for Hawaii, would study at first hand
industrial conditions as they exist on
the plantation, the relation of the
planter to. those whom he supplies with
tho products OF the plantation and who
in turn supply him with the thing he
needs and does, not produce, and the
interrelations of the people who live on
and about the industry. He would

. "In few places can boys and girls
be placed in schools where they will be
brought into such close contact with
industrial organization of such highly
developed type and IN so restricted an
area. In Hawaii the question of crop
in relation to soil, climate, labor sup
ply, rainfall and the use of fertilizers,
i IS ever present and always in process

question of the business management of
an industry be better studied than in
Hawaii
1.-THE industrial schools proposed
aim to take the boys and girls and
give them a training in doing and in.
I the acquisition of a body of knowledge
relating to their environment and con.
sequently of greatest value to them and
therefore to the state Of which they
form part. 1t is to the cultivation of
the soil and the related trades, black
smithing, carpentry, engineering, etc,
and not to the study of n trade as
thing apart from an industrial process
that the proposed system of schools is
to direct the student.
''The school at Waialee was named
The Industrial School, because the.
essential feature of the school was the
training of the boys in the cultivation
of the soil and the trades or occupations
incident to the tilling of the soil. That
the state compelled them to attend that
particular school is not an important
feature and consequently should not
81 determine the name of the school. 1t
