Since the establishment in Decem-
Der. 1910, by Mr.. Carnegie of the $lO.-
100000 fund for the promotion of the
cause of international peace, a COM
mittee has been assiduously at work
perfecting a plan under which the
fund will be administered Some de-
tails of their plan have just been made
public particularly in relation to the
methods by which the propaganda for
peace will be carried on in Europe.
This involves the establishment of an
I international bureau at Paris under
J the general direction of a consultative
committee of forty distinguished
statesmen and publicists under the
presidency of Baron d'Estournelles de
Constant who will be assisted by M.
Prudhommeaux as European secreta-
ry. Among those who have accepted
membership of the European commit
tee are the following:
England - Lord Avebury. Lord
Courtney, Lord Morley, Lord Wear
dale, Mr.. Thomas Burt, Mr. Ramsay
Macdonald.
Hungary-Count Apponyi.
Belgium-M. Beernaert.
France-M Leon Bourgeois, Baron
d'Estournelles de Constant, NJ. Passy,
NJ. Richet.
Germany Professor Forster, Pro.
lessor Zorn.
Austria-Professor Lammasch, Ba-
roness Won Sutther
Russian. Efremof, Douma Depu-
Ity; Count Kamarowski, professor of
International Law at Moscow Univer-
sity.
Japan-Count Okuma.
The American committee which has
drafted the plan comprises Senator
Elihu Root, ex-secretary of state; Dr.
Nicholas Murray Butler, president Of
Columbia University; J. w. Foster, ex-
secretary of state; Andrew j. Mon.
tague ex-governor of Virginia; DIR. H..
s. Pritchett, chairman of the Carne-
gle Foundation; Prof. Brown Scott,
solicitor of the state department at
Washington, and Charlemagne Tower
formerly United States ambassador at
Berlin.

THE FIRST TWENTY YEARS OF EDUCATION
IN THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS

King Liholho and his brother, Kau-
ikeaouli, then five years of age, with
several of the younger chiefs, and a
son of John Young who ranked as a
chief, were the scholars. I'm three
months the king was reading a little
in the New Testament and five others
were reading easy les ons in Web
ster's spelling book"
Mr. and Mrs. Bingham in May 1920
started a school for the children of
foreigners who had native families in
Honolulu.
Mes,srs. Whitney and Ruggles went
to Waimea, Kauai, in july 1920, and
there had the King Kaumualii as their
principal pupil. His first letters writ
ten in 1920 are quoted in Bingham's
Sandwich Islands.
Mr. Loomis went to Kawaihae and
engaged in teaching Kalanimoku' and
some of his favorites.
Thus the first schools were started
in the Hawaiian Islands. The instruc-
ton was entirely in English and was
limited to a small number of pupils.
THE English New Testament" as Mr..
Bingham says, was almost our first
school book"
The school on Kauai was the only
one where discipline was maintained
and the instructors were expected to
punish the unruly. Probably this was
due to George the kings son, who
may have told his father and the
chiefs how schools were conducted
around Boston.
The Chief Bold was an occasional

(Read before the Hawaiian Histor-
ical Society, January 30, 1922
Alexander Campbell, a sailor who
was in Honolulu in 1909, attempted to
make loom and teach some of the
natives the art of weaving cloth. Ka-
mehameha told his principal carpen-
ter to help. This man whose name
was Boyd refused, on the ground that
the natives should be taught nothing
that would render them Independent
of strangers"
Campbell says again, Another in

This seems to have been the pre-
vailing idea concerning education,
even to the time of the coming of the
missionaries in 1920. Campbells at
tempt in 1909 to instruct individuals
appears to have been the first record
ed effort put forth by any white man
in this direction.
During the first four months after
the arrival of the missionaries in
March, 1920, English schools were
established in Kailua and Kawaihae,
Hawaii, Honolulu, Oahu, and on Kauai
probably at Waimea.
The school at Kailua was establish
ed by Mr.. Thurston and Dr. Holman.

HOW EUROPE WILL COOPERATE
WITH CARNEGIE'S PEACE FUND

This committee determined to give
the Carnegie peace movement three
main lines of advance and endeavor:
On Propaganda and education.
(2) International law.
CD Economics and history.
The section devoted to internation-
al law has been placed under the di-
.rection of Dr. J. Brown Scott Already
a number of important projects have
been undertaken. Notably, the Sec
ton has requested Professor Moore,
'of Columbia University, to undertake
the publication of all the known cases
.of international arbitration. This col
lection will constitute a kind of juris-
prudence that may serve as a base
for future cases of arbitration. From
the spring of 1913 a summer course
in international justice will be inaug-
urated by the section at the Palace of
Peace at The Hague the object being
TO develop public conceptions on the
NdllOuS uOCOIlHGS VI lHLeIudllOudl law
The economic and historical section,
under the direction of Prof. ]. B,
Clark, is preparing a study of the his
toric and economic causes of wars, to
which will be added a study of the
means of preventing them. In Au-
gust last this section gathered togeth-
er at Berne a conference of twenty
one of the greatest economics and
leading pacificists of Europe It's pro-
gramme also includes important prac-
teal questions, such as international
loans, the relations of debtor and
creditor states, attitude of organized
labor and of Socialism toward arma-
ments and militarism, etc.
The propaganda and educational
section will be under Doctor Butler,
of Columbia University
The specific task of propaganda in
Europe will be intrusted to the Inter-
national Peace Bureau at Berne, with
ia subvention from the Carnegie
Foundation. Newspapers and periodi-
calls which devote themselves to the
cause of peace and arbitration in Eu-
rope will also receive aid from the

Stevensoniana grows apace. Not q
year since the death of the great seer,
poet, essayist and novelist, but has
witnessed one or, more volumes and
countless magazine articles on his life
and art, while in America alone some,
thing like half a dozen works have
been published during the past few
months. OF all these contributions
few will command greater attention
among the worldwide admirers Of the
illustrious Scotsman than Robert
Louis Stevenson in California" by
Katherine D. Osbourne. In these
pages is shed a fuller light on that
problem always so mysterious to
those who have never visited the
state: How comes it that something
less than a twelvemonth spent in Cal
ifornia made Stevenson thereafter so
singularly Californian? 1T has come

taught, and with surprising rapidity
learned the pronunciation and the
meaning of Hawaiian words and re-
duced the language to writing. This
