A modern problem that has arisen
through modern methods of busi-
ness is combining public sentiment.
San Francisco considered its Pana-
ma. Pacific Exposition as it would a
commercial enterprise and makes
it possible by the way it's leaders
have united the city, painting on
the popular mind with few broad
mastery strokes clear perspective
of everything that the exposition
means to everyone iu the city. The
picture they created was intimate,
its details attractive to the rich and
humble alike; its answer was such
as to fiatter the most exacting of
artists.
If public sentiment in Hawaii
could be combined with equal sue
cess as regards the fight on tubercu-
losis which is no less a distinctly
commercial enterprise results would
soon be as apparent as they are in
San Francisco regarding the Fair.

There is at present much discus
sion in reference to educational
methods; courses of study; and
school work in general and we hear
frequently the term, Vocational
Education, which to many ears
sounds like a solution to our COM
plex educational problems. Vocation
al schools is the only wish of those
who believe that we are misdirect-
ing our educational forces and the
more mentioning of the term, i'm
plies, to them, Il better method of
attacking our school work. This is
owing to the fact that ut the present
time Vocational Education is vague
and very impressive and has yet to
be clearly defined as to its real pur-
pose and use. That it will be and
that education along industrial lines
will have a real meeting is inquest
ionable.
Before any changes are made in
our educational system now work
ing rather smoothly one must be
sure that it is for the better, and
then again the material that we are
working on must be considered as
we'll as the methods. Teachers are
kept busy with their detailed work
and experimentation is as impossi-
bic as it is undesirable. In few
words; our teachers in the public
schools are the busiest of the COM,
mInity workers and if they have
not kept abreast of the social, in
dustrial and economic problems it
is as unintentional as it is impossi-
BILE for them to do SO.
Those interested in education here
in Hawaii Lave much to accomplish
in giving the child in the element
AIRY schools form of vocational
education that will prepare him for
his future work and citizenship.
And more than to prepare him, to
fix well in his mind and tl.at OF his
parent the utmost importance of
such an education, the certain value
of it to him as future citizen and
the economic reasons for it in
Hawaii.
The correlation of manual work
and academic studies in the schools

Gently of the establishment of special
schools to carry on the work of pre-
pairing the boys and girls for their
future occupations in life has caused
much interest to be shown by all
concerned with the education of the
young. There is IA wide spread
demand that the schools relate their
training with the work that the
child is to follow in life. The ans
wer seems to be in Vocational Edu-
cation.
Vocational Education may be
: defined as that whose controlling
, purpose is to fit for calling OF
vocation. 1t assumes activities OF

YACHT RACE.

Arrangements are under way for
another race between the Mollylou
and the Hawaii and ''Drydock
Smith, with true sportsman spirit,
has offered to donate fifty dollars
toward new set of sails for the
Hawaii so she will be able to COM
pete with her smaller rival. Smith
is the superintendent of the great
dry dock now under construction
at Pearl Harbor. He was a poor
boy, once, and said to have been
poorer than his parents so he ran
away to sea and plowed the raging
main for a time until he became, l
believe, a master mariner. Some
where about this point he discover
ed that he was lacking all essential
to success in life namely a good
education so he went to school for
while graduating from the higher
grades and finally landing in college
from which he also graduated as a
full fledged constructing engineer
But he never lost his love for the
sea, and sailing, so up on the coast
he built or bought yacht which
he named the Mollylou after two
of his children taking a slice out OF
the hame of each SO there would
be no jealousy. In one of the
transpacific races in which the
Hawaii was part the little yacht
entered and made remarkably good
time. I believe Smith sailed her
Every so often down here he enter:

counting time allowance he usual

nection with the dry dock followed
his arrival in Honolulu and bar

WHY ONLY ONEP

Mr.. Roosevelt has adopted as the
chief plank in his platform, "Thou
shalt not steal" one of the Ten
Commandments. This is good, but
why select only this one?
There is another, nearby, which he
should have Incorporated also, name
ly: "Thou shalt not bear false wit
ness against thy neighbor. This
prohibition should have gone in, not
withstanding it's effect upon the peace
and harmony of the Ananias Club, of
which Mr.. Roosevelt is said to be the
founder and President in
this country.

BACK HOME.

slogans of the day. Back to the
farm is the cry of those who lament
the exodus of young men and women
from the country to the city, which
has been going on for years. A ire
mendous, and reasonably successful,
effort is being made to turn the exo-
dus right about, back to land and the
country where the wealth of the
nation lies. and from which it must
be derived. destroy your cities, and
they will spring up again as if by
magic. Destroy your farms, and

every city in this Union.'

"open country" we are coming to
see, these "new days." is chiey to

That other cry, Back to The
Home is the slogan of the Sunday
School workers of the day. The "new
days" are, in many respects far in
advance of the cold days. but in
the matter of home training and home
religion and the teaching of the
Bible, and in "the felt responsible

PROPHECIES

The New York Herald is generally
regarded as authority on political
prophecy. 1t is said that the Herald 8
predictions on Presidential elections
have been in the main correct for
the past thirty years. There are 532
in the Electoral College. In the
Herald's first political appointment
Wilson is conceded 1T votes as rea-
sonably sure-the solid South, with
the exception of Maryland and West
Virginia, which are put in the doubt
full column. Mr.. Taft is conceded 155
votes by putting California, Iowa,
Illinois Minnesota and South Dakota
in the Republican column. There
seems to be no doubt as to Maryland,
and as to California some one other
than Mr.. Taft will carry that State.
New Jersey, Indiana, Colorado and
Nebraska are regarded as surely
Democratic, of the Herald's "doubt-
full" States. If the Herald's chart is
correct Taft must win ZIP and Will
son 81 votes from the doubtful States.
Predictions at this time, however,
may be all knocked out by Mr.. Roose-
velt's candidacy, if he is a candidate.

In Tight place
(Roanoke Evening World. }

Hon. Thomas Lee Moore, ex- United
States District Attorney, when asked
today regarding the latest utterauces
of Hon. C. Bascom Slemp of the
Ninth Virginia district, anent the
political situation. gave out the fol-
lowing statement:
MIR. Slemp's serious concern over
the political situation In Virginia AS
shown by his latest interview, need
be no surprise to anyone, and least of
all to the people in his own district.
ut is doubtful if he will be a can
didate for reelection this fall. and
still more doubtful as to whether he
can be elected. He and few others
are held responsible for the mid
winter conventions to get up self
instructed delegates to defeat the will
of the people and the rank and file
will hold him and his associates re.
sponsible.
There are many good men in
Slemp's district who would make
strong candidates for congressman
who believe in the square deal and
are heart and soul in sympathy with
the rules of the people. Men who do
not believe in steam rollers or forced
nominations. At this moment, among
others, l have in mind DIR. j. M.
Dougherty, of Scott county, who is
able, clean and aggressive. At the
Roanoke State convention he opposed
Slemp and the methods of the self
instructed delegates.
but MIR. Slemp is not alone in his
trouble. There are few others. His
situation is that of the Taft people
generally, but they are not great in
numbers, however.
Their great Generalization was
shown, night or two since, when
the President was engaged until a
late hour in serving sandwiches ON
the White House lawn, in an effort to
find someone to manage his campaign
and was finally compelled to settle
upon his own private secretary.

Observation-Disclosures

The Wilson Marshall-Ayers Club
was organized last Saturday with the
necessary officers, resolutions, etc.
and the enrolment of a goodly num-
Der of strong men as charter members
to the number of about seventy. This
looks good and portends good for the
success of the ticket in this county.
The organization of the Club was
not without a few of the usual fea-
lures of Democratic gathering.
Democrats are independent folks.
They have opinions and do not hest
tate to express them-sometime
wisely, sometimes other than WISELY.
The meeting on Saturday was not an
exception, perhaps but in the end
the final wind up was a harmonious
agreement on all questions presented.
This is as it should be. This is Har-
mony year. Let the enemy, the Re-
publicans, do the quarreling this
year. In county like Tazewell, par
ticularly, where the Democrats are
in the minority, there should be no
semblance of division. At a recent
meeting at Sea Girt, when members
of the National Committee, and mapv
other prominent men, including
Speaker Clark, called on MIR. Wilson.
the statement was made and sent out
that so far as known there was only
one prominent Democrat in all the
country who had declined to support
the Democratic candidate. Almost
ablsoute, universal harmony and
agreement prevails among Democrats
everywhere.
What matters it now that Virginia
sent divided delegation to Balti
more? Underwood men, Clark men.
Harmon men-all have expressed
themselves as heartily in favor of the
candidate. and are already at work
for his election. We are all "Pro-
gressives" now " neither we rave
been so from the first or not mattets
little. United we stand, divided we
fall. Let the whole army march
Clinch Valley news. [volume] (Jeffersonville, Va.) 18??-2019, 1912-07-19

forward in solid phalanx, and after
the victory is won we can "scrap"
as much as we feel like and no harm.
This year Harmony and Cooperation
are the watchwords.
