and the Korean languages, and is one
of the leaders of his eountrymen in
the States.
In speaking of the situation in Ko-
rea at the present time, Mr.. Park, DUR
ing an interview this morning, said:
korean schools Poor.
In Korea there are no such schools
for higher education; it is true that
there are schools such as are similar
to the grammer grades in the states,
but other than those schools there are
no further institutions at which a
young Korean may better his educa-
ton. We have yery-few newspapers
and magazines in Korea, and the peo-
pie are allowed very few public meet
ings.
Until about eighteen years ago the
religion of the Koreans was Confu-
cianism, brt since then Christianity
has been recognized as the national
religion.
No Free speech.
In Korea they do not even have a
place at which to hold public meet
ing. there are no privileges to make
addresses and absolutely no freedom
of speech. The churches are the only
place where meetings of any sort may
be held, and even then pastor can
not deliver a religious sermon for
which he has chosen his text from the.
Old Testament. and should he preach
from such books as Kings or Chron-

TO SEEK Water
BY OLD.FASHION
OWNING ROD

With the object of seeking out
sources of water supply to increase
those already developed by the Lanai
ranch and other companies, Rev.: H.
Mason of Australia. who arrived In
Honolulu on the zealandia, will leave
for Lanai this evening armed with a
divinlng rod. and claiming that he is
gifted with a peculiar sense which
will lead him to unseen water sources.
He viii be accompanied by Cecil
Brown. president of the Lanai com
pany, and one of the officials of the
First National Bank.
Although the method of finding
water by the use of forked stick
may be considered as joke by some
people, this old fashioned method has
not yet gone out of use. and Mr..
Mason has been brought here by the
men who manage the largest planta-
ton and ranch enterprises in the is
lands to use his skill with the rod
in locating the necessary water. 1t
lis believed by the managers of the
various plantations that water is
available below the surface and all
that is needed is some one to locate
II before 1t can be bored for by the
engineers, and the employing of Mr..
Mason is evidence of their belief in
the unique method which he uses.
The results of Mr.. Mason's visit
will be watched with interest by the
business men and should his methods
prove practicable, and IL he is able
to direct the engineers to the sources
of the water supply. It will mean an
added value of millions of dollars to

Nearly a hundred Korean business
men assembled at Alakea wharf this
morning to welcome Young NJ. Park
who, for the past eight years has been
a resident of the United States. where
he attended the university of Nebras-
ka, and graduated from that institu-
! ton with honors. Mr.. Park express
ed his intention this morning of re-
naming in the Hawaiian Islands for
a year. after which he will once more
return to the mainland to further his
education.
Mr. Park is a graduate of the Chi
|nese College In Korea, and left that
country for the United States in Feb
ruary, 1905. He went to Nebraska,
where he became student in the uni
versity of that state. taking up the
study of sociology and political sci
ence, and graduating last June with
honors and the degree OF A. B.
Pounds school.
While be was q student at the col
Ilege he became the founder of the
Young Koreans Military School, at
Hastings, Nebraska. and having as stu
dents about seventy five young Kor-
cans. some of whom were in the high
school, and others who were still in
the grammar grades. The Hastings
college building was used as the head
quarters of the school
During his years at college, Mr..
Park took up as side study course
in absentia, and it was during this pc
Rod that he wrote several articles
which he contributed to the New Ko-
rean News, paper published in the
interest of the Koreans of San Fran
cisco. The editor of the paper, ]. /.
Chong. was a personal friend of Park.
After leaving college, Mr.. Park went
to San Francisco, whore he became
connected with this newspaper.
Mr.. Park has not fully decided just
what he will do here, but as the Kor-
cans of the city are anxious for him
to accept "a position with the United
Korean News, the local Koreans news
paper. this will probably be his work
during the time he is here. Mr.. Park

SEEKING GOOD ROADS.
Party Touring New York and Vermont
for Auto Information.

Burlington, July l6.--Dr. s. Leon Cans
of Philadelphia and party representing
the League of American Motorists, are
at the Van Ness for a short stay on
the way from Atlantic City to Montreal
on pathfinding expedition. That is,
they are seeking information from every
source possible to the best automobile
highways in Vermont and eastern Now
York state for the club they represent.
DIR. Cans said he was especially delighted
with his trip up the other side of the
lake from Albany, across the lake near
Alburg and down through the islands
to Burlington, and he expects to find
equally good roads south of here. The
doctor has travelled about $4,000 miles
a year and has worn out IL automobiles
since starting in dozen years ago. The
League of American Motorists is but
recently formed, but it already has
large membership.
Accompanying DIR. Cans is his wife,
Mr.. and Mrs Harry Goodman, Mrs. c.
Gruberg and Mrs. G. Altshulte of Phil

WOMEN IN THE RED CROSS.
First Aid Detachments To Be Organized
For Them.

Lack Of preparation for and clear
definition of the duties of voluntary
aid workers have frequently severely
initiated against their success. The
American Red Cross has lately settled
on plan which will correct this con-
dition in at least one important re-
speet This has been done by the or
ganzation of the so-called womens
| first aid detachments. New as these
| detachments are to this country, they
are by no means new in certain other
nations where universally they have had
! the countenance and support of the high
est authority and the most distinguished
people, To take only one example: the
czarina is at the head of this movement
in Russia.
The purpose Of these detachments with
us, which while similar is not identical
with that in other countries, is to afford
women instruction in first aid, home
nursing, cooking and diet cooking, the
preparation of rooms, buildings, etc,
for the reception of the ill and injured,
with, in some instances, post graduate
courses in personal hygiene and santa
ton. Moreover. naturally they serve to
stimulate interest in Red Cross work
in general. In order to prepare the de-
tachments for the performance of their
duties, the American Red Cross has ir.
ranged graduated course OF instrue-
tion extending over two or three years,
as the case may be. The first year
ten lectures are given on first aid and
ten on nursing. The second year cook
ing is taught in twelve lessons and
diet cooking in two. Six periods are
also devoted to teaching what ii will
be necessary to provide to take care
of the sick or hurt in an emergency
with proper arrangements for such ar
ticles in any place set aside for the
purpose. A postgraduate course OF
twenty lectures on personal hygiene and
sanitation is given but this is not com
pusory
The members of these detachments are
permitted TO enroll after passing the
required examinations at the end OF the
first year. 1t must be distinctly under
stood that these women are in no sense
Red Cross nurses. From the instruc-
ton received they are, however, individ-
ually much better prepared to take emer-
gency care of the family and Others in
case OF illness or injury and the de-
tachments as such have clear field of
their own as an auxiliary corps. They
will find an important field Of employ
ment in civil functions where great num-
bers of people are assembled. Nowadays |
it is generally regarded as essential that |
care should be provided for
the i'll and injured. AZ such times doc. !
tors and nurses will not be lacking but /
detachments are required to get !
together the necessary materials and to /
take care of the housekeeping end of |
these relief stations, Moreover, there is
not infrequently an opportunity for
first aid on their part.
In war, every nation except our own
has long recognized the value of such
corps. Throughout Japan during the
war special relief sta
tons which they helped TO organize and
participated in were found at every
point where railroad trains stopped for
any length of time.

PREPARING FOR ANNUAL EXHIBIT
Arrangements Well Under Way for This
Event at Sherbrooke.

Csnada's Great Eastern Exhibition,
which will be held in Sherbrooke from
August 81 to September l. promises this
| year to surpass any which has previous
~ been held
Mr.. H. Z. Channell the secretary
treasurer, and the office staff are very
busy carrying out the arrangements for
this annual event.
The price of admission this year has
been reduced to % cents, and the fact
that five tickets are being sold for a
dollar will ensure a much larger attend
ance than in the past two years. While
the price OF admission has been reduced
it is not to be supposed that the merits
of the exhibitors will in any way suffer,
as the directors have spared no pains to
make the exhibition better than ever
before.
The live stock and other exhibits will
be well filled, and the other attractions
are the best that could be secured. The
chief among these will be the aeroplanc
flights, this feature having been secured
at great expense, but the management
believe that they have been justified in
entering into this contract, in view OF
the great interest that is manifested in
aerial work at the present time.
The buildings at the grounds have all
been renovated, and are in frst-class
shape.
The premiums paid by Canada's great
eastern exhibition are as high as those
to be paid at Ottawa, where the Domin
ion exhibition will be held this year.
Arrangements have been made with
the exhibition management at Ottawa,
whereby exhibitors can show at Sher-
brooke, and then leave for Ottawa in
time to take part in the exhibition there.
The advertising matter is now being
sent out, and this will be followed up by
and other channels up until
the time of the exhibition.
The racing this year will be good, if
the list of entries in the stake events, be-
side what will be conferred in the other
class events, is to be considered as a
guarantee
