education committee, said thar no real.
lied the education exhibit nc Seattle
was ovCrdonc and could be greatly i'm.
proved upon. There was too much
material 20 handle. lie believed ons Of
the best plans would be TO show the
methods Of teaching, show industrial
work, and to bring forward some dis.
tinctivc Hawaiian TEXTURES Of industrial
work such as tho making Of native
hats, mats and brushgs. Lace making
would only be in competition with tho
beautiful work Of Europe.
Commissioner Williams was OF the
opinion that Mr.. Pope was correct in
his conclusions, and only specific re.
cults should be exhibited.
Diversified Exhibits.
DR.. Il, V. Wilcox, director of the
federal experiment station, chairman
of the agriculture committee, said there
had been a tendency in previous ex-
positions TO place too much before the
iaded and detected crowds which passed
through buildings, being totally unable
to see and grasp the significance Of
anything There were diversified in
dustries here which could be shown,
but things should be in motion.
small pineapple canning apparatus
would show the mainland consumers of
Hawaiian pines, just how the pines
were put up for export. Then a small
sisal mill would show how the best
sisal material is shredded and baled,
and would be great advertisement.
Coffee, as exhibited there by an asso-
citation of coffee growers, which he
hoped to have formed, would be ex-
hibited as pure Hawaiian coffee. He
declared that coffee sold on the main
land and stamped as Hawaiian coffee,
hardly contained q grain of the real
Hawaiian product, About 1000 tons of
coffee was produced here and If put up
in sacks and officially labeled by the
association, mainlanders would be sure
to get the real Hawaiian aroma.
DR.. W. t. Brigham of the Bishop
Museum, whose committee Is to get up
an chronological exhibit, said he was in
a quandary as TO what to suggest. It
was perplexing subject for exhibit
purposes. In Berlin representatives of
South African tribes were shown in
their villages. That could not be done
for Hawaii.
He wanted to build a Hawaiian grass
would be great and the Hawaiians to-
day were not too adept in building such
houses. They had forgotten the art.
even, of building the oldtime canoes.
He thought of pictures of Hawaiians
and the mixtures of races, calling at
tention to the Gurrey types, and
thought these would be excellent for ex-
hibition purposes.
IJn1Y,or -
agriculture and forestry, chairman of
the forestry committee, had no definite
program to offer, but felt that photo
graphs and transparencies such as
shown at Seattle, would be effective.
The exhibition of Ioa and .ohia would
go well. There were maps, also, show
ing forestry reserves and timber sec
tions, also showing the forest area as
compared to the agricultural and waste
sections. He thought this exhibit
should not occupy conspicuous part
of the exhibit. He also suggested the
use of the Pope relief maps, showing
in distinctive colors the forest and
cane lands and other agricultural areas
May Show Rare Woods.
Joseph Rock, for tn botany section
spoke Of using the large collection of
Hawaiian woods, and to the ninety ex-
hibited at Seattle, there were a large
number in addition and possibly 200
could be shown, although only few
specimens are of wood available for
commercial purposes. He believed in
photographs and transparencies of for
est and botanical areas, showing koa
and kukui groves, etc. There were
certain woods that could be shown, but
in some instances there were only half
a dozen trees of the specimens in the
Islands.
William B. Stockman, director of the
federal weather bureau, and chairman
of the committee on climatology, sug.
gested relief maps of seleced stations
giving the annual temperature, mean
and the highest and lowest, giving ten
years average, and also the annual
rainfall. The commissioners felt his
idea was excellent.
Commissioner Hughes suggested fin
ishing room in the building in Ia.
waiian woods using all the varieties
The suggestion was approved, but in
sofar as to have it plainly stated that
all the woods were not commercially
available
Doctor Wilcox also suggested a mini.
ature sugar mill, to be operated, using
sugar cane stalks, TO show how the cane
was converted into juice.
