TRAINING
SYSTEMS A RE
EXHIBITED

A graphic presentation of notable
normal training systems of the United
States and abroad was given this
morning at the Territorial Normal
School as feature OF the schools an
nual commencement exercises. With
many visitors present and showing a
deep interest, teachers, cadets and
pupils took part in an informal but
striking exempliication of various
systems used to train the cadets for
their future profession. !. ~
Each room in che building showed
either some system or variation, Or
else part of the slocal normal work.
For instance, in the first grade room
the regular plan. of work of the Nor
NAL School here was shown. In the
second grade room the plan of the
Bridgewater (Mass.l school showed
two teachers, each giving instruction
to her half of the$room. In.the third
grade room the plan of the Lausanne

Various other systems were shown
and each proved of much interest to

One of the most interesting reports
issued lately is that of the Hawaii
Agricultural Experiment Station, OF
which Dr. +. Y. Wilcox is the special
agent The report covers the fiscal
year OF 1872 and in addition To de-
failing the work being done there.
many interesting papers on subjects
of interest to the sugar, fruit and
vegetable growers are given, such as
on the life of the fruit ny, the harm
of the mosquito, review of the pine
apple industry. =.:..... ...
1t is quite complete little hook
and will undoubtedly be read with in
terest by many persons here. DR..
Wilcox is the author of the first arti-
Gle, which is a summary of the in
yestigations conducted by the station
during the year, and in it he outlines
the work planned by the station for
the coming year as well as reviews
that of the past.
In addition to his review, there is
| the report of the entomologist, hor-
ticulturist and assistant and chemist
of the agronomist, report of the SUI
perintendent of the substations at
hilo and Glenwood, and of the rub
Der stations.
Probably the two articles of the
most general interest are found in
DR.. Wilcox's report, one being a re-
view of the work of the entimolo-
gists, the other of the horticultur-
lists. Below the given the two
reports: ....- ..as ~.
The chief efforts of the entomolo-
gist during the year were devoted to
study of the Mediterranean fruit
fly, mosquitoes, certain parasites of
the cotton bollworm, algaroba bean
weevils, and scale insects. The prac-
teal work in combating the Med1ter-
ranean fruit fly has been carried on
under the auspices of the territorial
government. The entomologist and
| the special agent in charge OF this
station, however, have been consulted
and have taken part in all of the
active measures which have been
adopted. According to the present
plan of the campaign the parasites
of the Mediterranean frui tfly and
cotton boll.worm which it is hoped
| to obtain in Africa will be hendled,
bred, and distributed by the entomolo-
gist of this station. In addition to the
usual breeding experiments to de.
termine the variety of fruits affected
by the Mediterranean fruit fly, con-
siderable attention has been given to
trapping and to the use of poison
| ed spray in combating the fruit fly.
a number of trips were also made to
the Kona coffee district to ascertain
the extent of infestation of coffee
with fruit fly, the amount of damage
actually done by the fly, and to in.
itiate practical measures for control
ling the prevalence of the pests in the
coffee orchards.
Some attention was given to the
study of the life. histories and habits
of the three Species of mosquitoes
which are known to occur in the ter
ritory The immediate occasion for
taking up this work was the fear OF
possible outbreak of yellow fever on
account of the occurrence of the vel
low fever mosquito. 1t was soon
found that the yellow fever mosquito
was much Jess common than t(Stego-

REPORT CARRIES GREAT DEAL
RYVALUABLE INFORMATION

n,yia) Aedes scutellaris, although the
latter species was apparently nitro
ddced into Hawaii later than the
yellow mosquito. Much useful IN
formation was collected regarding the
habits of all three species OF mos
quitnes, particularly with reference
to the situation under which the
larvae breed.
TIE energies of the horticultural
department have been devoted large
ly to the study of pineapples ami
methods of propagating the avocado,
mango, papaya and hibiscus. The I'M
portanee of the pineapple industry OF
Hawaii is growing greater day by
day. The output of canned pineapples,
which it was feared two years ago
had almost reached the limit of the
market for this product, has been
greatly increased, and arrangements
/, are now being made TO nearly double
the area devoted to pineapples. The
demand for canned pineapples has
taken all of the product which could
be supplied and seems to warrant this
great extension of the industry Pine
apples are second only to sugar cane
in commercial Importance in Hawaii.
The quality of the product has re-
manned uniform, owing to the fact
that there are only two commercial
varieties of pineapples in Hawaii and
that these varieties are of quite sim
liar nature. Recent observations,
however, indicate that these varieties
have become mixed on nearly all of
The plantations and that one of them
is decidedly inferior to the other. The
inferior variety apparently came from
Queensland, while the superior one
IS apparently the true Smooth Cay
enne The growers are gradually
eliminating the less desirable variety.
A press bulletin covering the various
cultural and marketing features of
pineapples was published during the
i year Continuation of experiments in
methods of propagating the avocado
end mango has developed the fact
that these fruits may be marched or
budded almost with as much facility
as is known to be the case with fruits
of temperate climates.
The difficulties which had hitherto
made the propagation of superior va
frieties of avocados and mangoes un-
certain are rapidly disappearing.
] Similarly with papayas there is a
good prospect now that strains of seed
may be obtained which will show al.
most complete uniformity in pro-
duct. Hitherto this has been far from
| the actual state of affairs. Much seed
! obtained by the method of crossing
male and female flowers showed a
variation which was difficult to con.
troll and the products of which could
not in any case be predicted.
On account of the restrictions placed
on bananas by the recent California
Quarantine law, it has been found
necessary to take up in a systematic
manner the methods of packing which
promise to make possible the ship
ment of bananas to California with
cut danger from scale insects and
without injury to the bananas. Al
present it is hoped that the coopera
ton of the steamship companies can
be obtained in furnishing facilities
for shipping bananas without any
packing around the lunches.

ing to have any walkover In retaining
the seat on the appellate court bench
now held by Judge L. S. Roam.
In launching the candidacy of Re-
corder Nash R. Broyles for the Office,
stress was laid on the value of having
the position inherited by an Atlanta
man. but instantaneously the ques-
ton has geen raised of why should al
Atlanta man, any more than resident
of Rabun Gap or citizen from Tybee
Lights, be entitled to the position?
Already the names of prominent
men outside Atlanta have been sug-
gested as candidates. including those
of Judge Henry C. Hammond of the
Augusta circuit, Judge Robert Hodges
of the city court of Macon, and Hon.
Gus. H. Howard OF Columbus, any one
of whom would make the state a

tables in a local cabaret, is what cit
liens testified to as having taken place
in an establishment at the corner OF
Broad and Walton streets last night.
Two disguised policemen visited the
place on complaint of citizens, and
found that the reports had not been
much exaggerated. Cases have been
docketed against pretty blonde NAM
ed Evely-Gray, who claims to be bus
mess woman of the city, against B. e.
Shirley, who was dancing with her,
and against E. T.. Howell, manager of
the cabaret.
1t was further testified at the pre-
liminary hearing that beer flowed
freely, and that the whole scene was
such as one might expect in the tough
part of New York or San Francisco,
but thing rather new in the South.

MIR. r. P. Stackhouse has handed us
clipping from the Dillon Is. CO Her
aid with the above caption. The ar
ticle is ludicrous and the man who
wrote it certainly has an eronous idea
of this grand old state of Georgia.
The article appears to be an inter-
view from some prominent man of
Dillon who visited Georgia. He as
serts that he found the state on the
verge of financial ruin. He asserts
that man was unable to borrow 5000
on $4,000 farm. He claims that
thousands of acres of fertile land are
wasting for lack Of capital to cultivate
them.
Evidently this gentleman was blind
folded when he visited grand old
Georgia. Eviently he did not visit
Sumter county. There has been no
time since the war that the old state
has been in such fine financial con-
dition. Prosperity Is everywhere.
Money is plentiful and the farmers are
paying off mortgages instead of plac-
ing new ones on their homes.
His honor the Governor has just re-
turned from New York where he in
terviewed financiers with view of
placing some state bonds at a later
date He has returned and told you
that Georgia leads the states In the
Union when it comes to financial
strength. He tells you that the New
York bankers are willing to loan the
state any ammount that she needs. And
yet this gentleman from the state that
boasts Cole Blease asserts that fin
ancial panic is in our midst.
