KAMEHAMEHA GIRL URGES That
HAND and mind Be TRAINED

| the most serious defects from winch
we Hawaiians suffer is the lack of
perseverance, That Is why so many
people say It Is Of no avail to educate
| Hawaiians. But we OF the present
| generation must prove to those who
barbor this, idea that It is of some
Z. use to educate Hawaiians and we
must even IL II seems hard, do this
II we care to stand In places where
we. shall command the respect which
we have grown to deserve. To do
4 this, we must educate our hands, we
must educate our minds, we must
! educate our souls.
\ When worker knows why one
method produces good results and an
other does not, when he knows why
he does a piece of work a certain
way,-then he has begun his educa-
ton. To carry II further he must
gain skill by practise; discipline by
doing disagreeable, monotonous things
for long periods,-to perfect himself.
| TO test himself
Advance Is Needed.
Shall we he satisfied to look on
passively while other people ad-
vance? Are we satisfied to go on liv-
ing with as few of the comforts and
necessities of life as our ancestors
had or are we willing to be pains
taking, enduring and energetic and
! try in every way to qualify ourselves
F., for the work that lies at hand to be
done?
| Persistence, endurance, energy,
economy, thrift.-are the qualities
that mark successful races. II would
, seem then, that we Hawaians are
sadly in need OF them. We must be
able to lit ourselves up SO that we
can stand among our competitors and
work as well as they In order to sue
coed.
Let ne he sure that we know what
! success means. The position and suc-
cess of a man or woman are not al
ways indicated by clothes. Fashion
able clothes do not always signify
success, but skill In some craft, abil-
| ity to work. to hold ones position,
| to be of value In ones trade, to keep
ope.s word surelv Indicates I, deyree
of success II We girls are N sue
coed must wc NOT mn, forth all our
, onerpy. cast aside onr dislike for hard
work ana feel that more Is exnected
! from us than from our grandmothers?
Must we not learn TO meet our obli-
cations IN nav our deh,e IN keep

Are we Hawaiian girls now able IN
inteIligeptlv choose good leaders and
advisers? Are our parents looking
forward TO having their girls trained
IN do some usefuI necessary work
well Or do thew prefer some easy
situation for us where we shall work
as little as NAV he gain nothing In
training or deyelopment. add nothing
of skill or mower to our race? II ia
time for us to see that we must arm
ourselves with patience. with epdur-
ance and be ready for emergencies
and that we must not turn back, hay-
ing nut our hands to the pillow.
IL Is necessary that our ideas Of
hand work and domestic work he
such as will direct us to look for
preparation for these and not make
poor teachers, clerks, stenographers
when we might be good cooks, Iaun-
dresses, seamstresses. nurses aud
usekeepers.
Let us cultivate the talent we have
and seek to develop It. II Is the
talent that will make us useful as
handworkers. Let us turn 1t to ac-
count honestly and vigorously, Let
us fulfill the wish Of our founder
that we be good and industrious"
