Cooperation Necessary.

Professor Grifliths referred to many
of the things accomplished through and
with tie help OF the federal on, espec-
tally in regard to the city beautiful,

President Gilmore. of the College of
Hawaii, said some people think that n
ely grows old with them, but it is in
reality forever voung and with prob
lens to be solved. He added that this
is hard TO realize for we do not reju-
venate ourselves, as the city does in
each generation.
The problems of education he be-
lieved to he among the most important
which n city has to face and solve.
Among the things which the civic fed
GRAFTON should do is to choose those
things to work on which can be accom-
plshed, and among the things which re-
late to the welfare of the city that of
education stands out large. Hawaii in
this respect, he stated, has n tradition
to live up to. and in industrial educa-
ton Hawaii has established a prece-
dent.
"The city, said Professor Gilmore,
"is an end in itself, although many
look upon it as n means to an end as n
convenience for business. When we
look upon the city as a part of our ma
tinnal life we will have acquired a
proper view. The civic federation has
certain problems to solve and other
organizations have theirs, but it is by
cooperation that the best results are OBJ
tanned. and the city is the demonstrate
ing field for the best democratic prin-
ciplcs. "
