REV. MR.. MASON'S FEATS

Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin,
Sir:-ln your issue of Dec 26th you
published an interview with Mr.. G. x.
Harrison, head of the United States
geological survey in this territory. in
which be states, referring to the visit
of the Rev. H. Mason, that any man
who CLANS by some peculiar instru-
ment or feeling that he can find un-
foreground water Is an unqualified
fake, and it is given as his opinion
that such men are menace to the COM
munity in which they operate. Mr..
harrison is wrong in this. as Mr.. Ma
son is no fake, and is a decided bless
ing to the community where he lives,
and if his faculty for finding water is
as successful here as it has been in
New Zealand, it would be worth a
great deal to this territory if he could
be induced to make a heightened stay
here.
Now Mr.. harrison, if he really
wishes to know the truth, can COM
municate with the New Zealand de-
partment of agriculture or tourist de-
partment, or, perhaps better, to the
Hon. w. F. Massey, premier of the
Dominion of New Zealand. and if he
does not learn something more than
he now knows about waterfinding, he
will at least be assured that Mr.. Ma
son is not faker.
AS to the absurdity Of the business
men here using this means OF trying
to find water, would it not he much

exception of San Francisco.
That is good reputation for Honolulu to

should retain all the glory Bishop street ought
to be as well lighted as Fort, and Hotel street,

PROGRESS IN Two YEARS

To the credit of the outgoing board of super
visors stands great deal of good work whose
value is not realized until it is summed up at the
end of two years.
The mOtOrizing of the fire department is a
praiseworthy act accomplished by this board
When the supervisors came into office two years
ago Honolulu was protected from fire by de-
partment equipped with horsedrawn apparatus
largely useless for long runs and steep grades
Today the department is we'll ON the way toward
complete motorization.
Another good piece of work is the placing of
the electric light plant on a thoroughly equipped
basis and the extension of lighting facilities
There are now comparatively few districts ask
ing for lights.
The board has erred, as is human, but in spite
of ill-timed and unnecessary political squabbles,
it has managed to do good deal of real work,
and for it's meritOriOus deeds it well deserves
praise

STUDY THE CHILD,
OGDENS METHOD
MAKE SYSTEM SERVE THE PU-
PIL RATHER THAN THE PUPIL
THE SYSTEM, SAYS UTAH
TEACHER.

Ogden public schools are beginning
to do away with examinations in de-
termining fitness for promotion. The
children are to be relieved of the
A good move.
Somewhat in this same direction
are other schools moving, while still
other educational institutions are do
ing away with all tests that produce
in the child fear of failure, reproof,
or odious comparisons.
One of the most prominent leaders
of the revolt against the old system
of education, which was based on
the theory that useful thoughts are
to be erammed into the child mind
through fear, is Mrs. NJ. l.. Johnson
of the School of Organic Education of
Alabama. who declares that the
ehild's needs should be studied and
the system serve the child rather than
the child the system. She illustra-
les her sluei as lOlloNs.
Activity is a law of childhood.
Why then should little children be
Obliged to sit in rows of desks with
folded hands waiting for orders? Ey-
cry thought is accompanied by an i'm
pulse to act. This is very marked in
childhood.
Interest in the occupation, and the
nature of the work itself, will afford
sufficient discipline so that the
teacher need not fear disorder If
desks are removed and the children
be allowed to move about freely.
"If occupations were substituted
for lessons, the reasoning power
would develop unconsciously and nat
urally. thus insuring a stronger, firm
er mentality. Children should not
consciously strive to know. any more
than they consciously strive to grow.
"If the child is bored. apathetic,
unhappy, unwell, the environment
must be changed. For the school is
TO serve the child. In our fear that
the child will not know the things he
should in later life. we often dull or
cripple the mind in the early years by
forcing the learning of things for
which the mind is not ready.
Fear of failure to meet require
ments. fear of reproof or being deem
ed inferior, fear of any kind, weakens
the will power and undermines char
acter. Strain and anxiety-desire to
keep up'-causes and
destroys true interest.
"If the occupations and exercises
provided are in harmony with the de-
mands of the ehild's nature. the re-
Spouse will be satisfactory-that is.

Anderson admitted that he had stolen
the goods when faced, and the proyis-

Anderson has a wife and five small
children to support, and he was al
most penniless. He stated that he
knew he was doing wrong, but that
his wife and children were almost
starving and that he was forced by
desperation to steal when he could
not get work to provide for his
family.

CHEAPEST IN. THE LONG RUN
Housekeeper viii Find That the
Purchase Of the Best cretonne 10
Only Sensible Plan.

In buying chintz, or cretonne as this
material is usually called over here,
1t is wisest TO select the best quality
and patterns, for cheap cretonne soon
stretches and fades and the colors are
apt be crude. Chairs, couches and
sofa pillows should be covered with
the same pattern, and one or two at
most sofa pillows in plain color In
cluded In the cretonne pattern, viii
focus the color interest of the room.
Instead of taking down the winter
portieres of tapestry or plush, ere
tonne curtains in the form Of long
bags may be slipped over the winter
hangings and sewed together firmly
at the top. Table covers of cretonne
should be lined with plain colored sa-
teen and finished around the edge with
narrow, colored gimp which comes
for that purpose.
Not every housekeeper realizes the
possibilities of chintz in the summer
home, or in the city house which must
be made cool and comfortable during
the hot months. A magical metamor-
phosis may be wrought in living room
and bedroom, furnished in the winter
with rich, yet heavy tapestries and
velvets, II all these hangings and COW
erings are packed away in the cedar
chest up garnet, or wherever such
things are stored, and fresh, dainty
chintz substituted.
Every English drawing.room is
swathed in chintz with the beginning
OF warm weather; and the bright Gov
ers combined with the fresh cut
flowers that are fetish with English
housekeepers. make an English draw
ing-room most delightful and rest
full place in summer time.

REDUCING LIVING COST
SOME USES FOR RY-PRoDucTs OF
THE MEAT MARKET.
Delicious Entrees May Be Made From
Many of the Cheaper Portions of
Butehered Anlmals-None
Difficult to Prepare.

With the price of meat soaring high
er and higher, 1t might be well for
the housewife to look into the posi-
bilities of the many savory dishes that
can be cheaply prepared for what
could perhaps be called the by-prod-
ucts of the meat market-all the appe.
tizing entrees, for instance, that can
be made Of brains, trips, chicken glib
lets, kidneys, sweetbreads, Calls head,
heart, or even the humble pigs foot
The queer part of it is that although
these are favorite orders at restau-
rants and hotels and are none of
them difficult to prepare, they are but
seldom seen on the home table. When
their advantages are presented, the
usual defense of the serious-minded
housewife is that they are neglected
because of their lack of nutrition. 1t
cannot for moment be claimed that
any of these dishes equals roast of
beef or a Juicy chop in this respect
but does not this very lack of heat
producing quality put them at once
in the class of ideal summer foods?
Brains-Select either calfs or
sleeps brains, beef brains are usually
too coarse and stringy Blanch them
by washing in several waters and then
bring to a boil in sailed water to
which a dash of vinegar has been
added Remove every particle of mem
brane and drain on clean cloth.
Scrambling with eggs is the simplest
way of cooking them and also about
the best Serve on toast and garnish
with parsley or cress.
Tripe-This is one of the most
easily digested of foods, probably be-
cause it contains SO much pepsin.
Select a honey-combed piece, cut in
three-inch squares and soak in cold
water for a couple of hours. There
are many ways of preparing 1t, but
only the best recipe can be given
here. Dip pieces in fritter batter
made of one egg to scant cup Of
-four, pinch of salt and cup Of
milk, and fry in hot oil or drippings
until golden brown.

Vegetarian Roast.

Soak a quart of lima beans for IL
hours, Cover with cold water and
cook until nearly done. Add three
tablespoons of olive oil and season
to taste, Put into a baking dish and
cover with six tomatoes, peeled and
sliced. Bake one hour. When cold
run through meat chopper. Add half
cup of chopped nuts, shape in a loaf
and bake in hot oven, basting with
melted butter and lemon juice. Ar
range on dish with rings of green pep
pers and parsley. AS both the beans
and the oil are very nourishing 1t is
a good substitute for meat, now that
meat is so high.
