THE PASSING OF
AN EDUCATIONIST

After lingering several months at
the Queens Hospital following an
operation, David Dwight Baldwin,
brother of the late H. p. Baldwin, died
yesterday morning. The family at
once made arrangements with the
Inter-Island company to despatch the
steamer Mikahala to Maui last night
and at midnight she left. carrying the
remains ana the many members of
the family who will attend the funeral
today on the Valley Island.
Mr.. Baldwin was eighty years of
age. He was born in Honolulu, No
vember 26, 1881, the son of Dwight
Baldwin, who arrived in the islands on
the second missionary ship and was
located at Lahaina for many years,
Mr.. Baldwin may be said to have been
the father of English education in Ha-
wall. He was educated in island and
mainland schools, graduating from
Yale, where he took the astronomical
prize
While acting as organist for one OF
the Bridgeport, Conn, churches he
met Miss Lois Gregory Morris, the
daughter of a Bridgeport merchant
The young couple were married i'm
mediateIy following Mr. Baldwin
graduation, the bride being nineteen
years old.
They sailed almost at once for the
Islands by the Cape Horn route ano
resided continuously in Hawaii ever
since, with the exception of a year
spent in New Haven. Mr. BaldWlI
was manager of the Kohala plantation
for seven years prior to 1872 the date
of his visit to the mainland SUP
seauently he was connected with the
educational department of the Hawaii
an government for forty years, eigh'
of which he spent as inspector genera
of schools under the monarchy. Dur
ing his incumbency about half of thu

never strayed from the stage or its
wonders during his sad little boy
hood. And he is big figure in the
belittled stage of today. They have
refined the acting, they have diluted
dramatic art, they have fooled with
the public and coddled potboiling
playwrights at such a rate for fifty
years, strangling the infant actor by
proper ideas and the regular thing
in diet, slumber, regime and environ
nient that we have to go fishing in
strange lands to find prodigies and
catch stars peering out of the clouds
upon a wild, hungry world of wolves.
IN another century there will not be
a single name ever heard of before
on the stage, either of America or
England !
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1912-06-17

schools were changed from the Ha-
waiian speech to English and he drew
up the first course of study for the
English schools in the islands. He
was an authority on Hawaiian land
shells, ferns ana moses, on all Of
which subjects he has published mo-
nographs.
Twenty-three descendants survive
him, eight of whom are children and
fifteen grandchildren. His children
are: Erdman d. Baldwin, Charles w.
Baldwin, Lincoln Mansfield Baldwin,
Benjamin o. Baldwin, william A,
Baldwin, Mrs. Frank E. Atwater, Mrs.
Duncan, B. Murdoch and Mrs. DR..
John Weddick. One child, Nathaniel
Hewitt Baldwin, died at the age of
six.
Mr.. Baldwins home for many years
past has been at Haiku, Maui, where
October 7, 1907, he and Mrs. Baldwin
celebrated their golden wedding.
Those of the family who left for
Maui last night on the Mikahala were
the widow, Mr.. and Mrs. /. NJ. Bald
win and Mr.. w. A. Baldwin of Maui;
Mr.. and Mrs c. w. Baldwin and Mr..
and Mrs. e. d. Baldwin Of Honolulu;
b. d. Baldwin of Kauai, and Mr.. and
Mrs. ID. B. Murdoch.

COMPASS FOR AIR CRAFTS.

The washington government has
applied for patent on what, 1t is
believed, will be a practical compass
for the navigation of an airship either
in fog or at sea.
It is the invention of Capt. Wash
ington l. Chambers who is detailed
to Chicago for the aviation work OF
the navy.
The Navy Department is not yet
ready to make public its details al
though it's principle, it is said. is
simple. Foreign inventors have been
trying to perfect such an instrument,
but none of them, as far as is known,
have succeeded.
This instrument" said Captain
Chambers today, deserves special
attention for the aid it will give to
safe flying. Cecil Grace would have
appreciated it in his fatal Channel
Eight, and the Italian aviator who
started for Sicily and fetched at Cor
coma, would have reached his des
tination with such an instrument. ia

ACTORS inherit GIFTS
BUT THE TALENT RUNS OUT

Amy Leslie in Chicago Daily News:
Perhaps dramatic talent, like royal
blood and aristocracy, is enfeebled
and depleted through the generations
and the present century's crop of
players shows little inherited blood,
little vigor of genius, little virility
of talent or dazzling titles coming
down from grandfathers and next of
kin back into the early days
Upon one hand can be counted the
heirs to talent for the stage among
the actors holding the star claims to
eminence and popularity. We still
have the Barrymores and Drews,
the Howsons, Madderns, Davenports
Reeds and Golfers, but none of them
are at all astounding. In England
names with the glow of familiarity
and affection about their letters are
more prevalent, but even there no
brilliant son comes to fill fathers
giant fairtops and no outshining
daughter overshadows her mothers
beauty or renown, A century ago
pages tell us another story because
the flaming star of the hour was
more than likely the progeny of a
modest player or pair of them who
strutteG briefly in another time. One
after the other of the Booths out
shone the elder Booth, one after the
other families arose to celebrity by
Just stages beginning modestly
Names That Appear Now Are Strange.
Now, where are the presentations
of royal blood in stage genius to be
found? All the names are strange,
all the characters the names bring
into publicity are strange. There is
Marlowe, there is Adams there is
Campbell and the Russians, there is
Russell and Elliott and Goodwin and
crane, but NOBODY TO bear Ihelt u
ties further nor any part they ever
played kept vivid by their gracious
artistic favors. They "do" part aft
er part and the play is not born to
live; they travel far and near and
drag their millions about in retinue
hut they leave nothing to be monu
mental for the afterwhile. Fritz Viii
lams is about as good an example
of the fittest survivor of an old name
among the whole parcel of actors in
heriting the meter and talent OF
their forbears. Even the in-laws'
of Mr.. Williams are honorable act
ors and he himself holds close to
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1912-06-17

the older, more graceful and legiti-
mate sort of school extant when
his father and mother were capital
players.
Ethel Barrymore is fashionable and
gifted, and Jack has a vogue and soft
eyes, grave, mischievous smile and
good sense of humor John and Sid
ney Drew are bequeathments who es-
cape depicting the family title, but
they are ending the long line dubi-
ously at that. Their plays are easy
going pattern comedies made to fit
that for which the public has cast
them by acclaim. They make no fine,
wild departures, take no risks, attack
no citadels nor storm any forts of
unexplored art They simply sail
through the path of smooth sea and
never worry so long as the box Of
fee does not croak. That is not the
way their forefathers painted a name
worth remembering.
