HISTORY AND PEACE TEACHINGS.

The European cataclysm has given new strength
to the agaon for revision of eur school histories
by the elimination of detailed of battles and
the elaboration OF works of peace 1t is commended
that histories in the past have thrown glamour
oyer war and given TO the coming citizen the i'm
preston that war is the great end of nations. or
least that the highest form Of patriotism is that
which bares its bosom to cannon and musketry. II
Is argued that wars should be treated In the most
general way One teacher suggests that the date,
cause and results alone should be given Even the
names Of generals and the places OF battles would
be omitted by this fefermer. A teacher in girls
school complains that even the girls look upon wars
as the most interesting part of the whole book
What is proper history is as old controversy as
what is proper news Some insist that anything that
happens is history. But this is the very thing the
teacher Just referred to would escape. Neither a
history nor q newspaper can give everything that
happens There must be selection from the mass
pf4atter, choice which moral considerations enter
as well as Limitations OF space. There is also the
question Of interest 1t would be folly to fill a his
tory newspaper with totally embarrassing mat
ter. Some reformeHs would eliminate biographical
incidents and deal only with general principles Mr.
Spencer regarded love of biography as an indica-
ton Of q small mind But people with much wider
ever had realize how nearly universal is the interest
in biography and how this can be protably used in
inspiring the youth to nobler purposes. Whatever
may be ones theories the most powerful teacher
in the world is concrete illustration The secret
Of the vitality of Christianity Is the stress iau on
Globe Democrat.
If history is to be true, It's perspective has
to be true. No historical record that pfetends
Is accuracy could minimize, for instance, the
military character Of Napoleon or his intil:
ence on the age in which he lived. Nor would
any fair historian wish to minimize the virtues
If patriotism, self zabneeation, or the glowing
qualities Of leadership The history of the past
IS the inspiration of the future.
What history cannot do except indirectly can
be done by other branches of study by SO.
,iology, political economy, ethics. The waste
5f war and it's cruelty offer the reverse side to
the shield Of valor and proud achievement
The man who averts war is a greater general
than he who preeipitates il. The leader who
guides nation along the paths of peace 50
that peace is without dishonor well deserves
10 rank at least with Napoleons and Caesars
and Alexanders The virtues of peace may be
painted quite as brightly as the respondent say
agery of war.

FOR NEWSPAPER DAY.

Honolulu, Nov. 5, 1914.
Editor Honolulu Star Bulletin:
Sir: As Hawaii is about to have
a Newspaper Day" It strikes me that
the following clipping contains some
thing of interest for the readers of
your widely read paper: 49,:
Newspaper Day" In California. .
BY L. NJ. Edholm.
THE sending OF special-featu
newspapers TO fasteners was so sue
cessful in advertising the resources
and opportunities of San Diego that
Judge Thomas J.. Hayes Of that city
suggested a Newspaper Day for the
whole state of California. The day
has been officially set for October 1.
In commenting on the scheme, Judge
Hayes said: The statewide news
paper day In California, October 1, is
going to be a marvellous success in
producing results. In. San Diego We
first tried postcard day with some
success and then newspaper day with
marvellous success. In a single day
10000 copies Of San Diego papers
were sent to all parts of the Emitted
States and Europe, The cost of mail
ing newspaper is only a trifie more
than. that Of mailing postcard, and
for the purpose of conveying informa-
ton a newspaper is worth more than
one hundred postal cards.
People coming to the two great
expositions win want information in
regard to all parts of the state. For
the distribution of general informa-
ton pertaining to locality there is
nothing equal to good newspaper
published in that locality. II goes into
detailed explanation Of what people
locking for new locations desire to
know.
. The slogan should be-See Cali
fornia in 1915! See every part of the
state; see the two great expositions
at San Francisco and San Diego; see
the Santa Clara and San Joaquin val
leys; see the big trees; take a ride on
the great Pacific ocean, which will
socn be big ocean Of commerce.
The varied resources of the state
will be made known to people in all
parts of the world through the million
or more newspapers that will be
mailed to them on that day from Cali
fornia by their personal friends.
People will read and reread these
papers, then pass them around. They
viii be read at every fireside and by
every member of the family. They
VII be commented on by eastern
newspapers. In this way these mil
lions or more newspapers viii be read
by ten millien or more people, enlight.
ening them as to the two great expo
stitutions N California and the advan-
tages of living In the state.
The cost OF sending one million
newspapers will be at least $40, 900,
but it Isl divided among the people of
the state. II each one does his o. her
part it will cost them a nickel each
and VIII be great pleasure instead
of burden. Going from one friend
to another, 1t has personal touch. an
individuality. Il acts as personal
letter. It has been tried out and the
effect is magical,
Every city and state is falling in
line and taking up this matter, and
It Is expected that more than mil
lion copies will actually be distributed
on October I, the statewide newspaper
day
Thanking you for your valuable
space, yours for successful News
paper Day for all Hawaii,
JACK p. COMES, JR.

The situation in Brussels is one OF

There is the gravest danger of starva-

German administration is finding ii
difficult to supply. There is the further
danger that the workingmen of the city

Mr.. Hawkin was greatly impressed

ADVISED TO FILE PAPERS,
Naturalized Citizens Urged to Have
Documents Recorded,

Naturalized Americans the country
over are urged. in a statement issued
today by the Department of Labor, to
send in their naturalization papers for
record at the bureau of naturalization,
so that in case the citizen later loses
his papers there will be a record in
the bureau from which a duplicate
can be taken.
1t is pointed out that since the fed
eraI naturalization law went into ef-
feet in 1906, the buildings housing
thirty-eight courts exercising natur-
alization jurisdiction have been de-
stroyed by fire, and the naturalization
records have been either totally lost
or so badly damaged to be of little
or no service to the applicant for the
purpose for which they were taken
out.
