Wadman who has recently made
his quarterly visitation Of the
same on the Garden Island scatter

to Hanalei. BY Mission Comfy,
which is coming to us a regular
working principle of all the Mis-
sion Boards, the Koreans of Ha-
waii have been all assigned to the
Methodist Church and for the past
eight years Doctor Wadman, as
sisted by Rev. Chi P. Hong of
Honolulu, has prosecuted this end
of his work with great energy and
considerable success. During his
recent tour DR.. Wadman arranged
with two or three plantation man
ayers to open up Mission work
among he Filipinos, most of
whom are of the Roman Catholic
faith but quite a few are pro-
testant converts and Methodists.
These latter greatly desire til e
privileges of their own church.

ends, near Hanamaulu, will have
been completed. This work has
been carried on with a speed which
is not only satisfactory to the pub
lie, but in a manner indicating the
good fortune of having officials at
the helm who understand II
direction Of affairs. Sometimes
we hear remarks i'll regard to the
County Fathers not doing so and
so, and will admit that they are not
angels any more than we are, but
when one realizes the work they
are accomplishing in their saw

toacknowledge that after all, the

Edwin Fernandez, the popular
moving picture man, is continuing
to make goods as evidenced by the
crowded houses he has had since
coming to Kauai. Edwin has got
a fine lot of films, and the act put

one that has made good all over
the coast, and is, in itself, worth
the pri &c of admission. The

very latest produced in Hawaii

Visiting Our Public Schools

Fl
That Kauai has the right man
at the head of its educational De-
partment is evidenced in the fact
that Hon. w. H. Rice, makes it
his special business to constantly
keep an eye on the practical side
of the school system. Together
with Supervising Principal Brodie,
he is paying a personal visit to
the schools this week. There is
no one whom the teachers welcome
more heartily than our worthy
commissioner. In addition to be-
ing our commissioner, he was
last year, by a unanimous vote,
elected President of the Teachers
Association of Kauai. The marked
improvement in our public schools
is largely d II e to the untiring
energy of Commissioner Rice in
his efforts to accomplish the great
est amount of good for the great
est number.

The resignation of Philip L q.
Rice, clerk of the court of the
Fifth Circuit has been placed in
the hands of Hon. Judge Lyle

effective Jan. 1st. 1913. Philips
law practice has grown to such
proportion as to require more time
than he San devote to it under the

resignation. He has filed t h e

manner which will require a good
man to maintain the record. THE

youngest lawyer upon his success

bright future for him among the

Fourth year, more difficult pro-

In all these years the problems
should be concrete and practical.
But the logical relations of the
various steps should not be OBJ

pedagogical and logical orders are
practically the same. With this

You of course know that in the
schools of Continental Europe con-

and that it divides time with arith-
metic for three years before algebra
is begun. | am sure that the
practice is good. l have tried it
in my own schools and found that
the children gain much power not

taught in this way is a very con-

which should not be left for the
high school, which most of the
children do not reach.

EDITOR GARDEN ISLAND,
Dear Sir
In answer TO the letter in your
editorial columns S week, in
which Observer writes that a
certain school in the County gets
everything asked for to the last
detail, and finishes with the ques-
ton, Is it fair to t h c other
schools" l beg to state that as far
as the Kappa School is concerned
it does not apply, as in every in
stance the Supervisors have given
US everything asked for in full
within one month from the date
of request.
Yours respectfully,
CYRIL O. SMITH.
