EXTENSION SERVICE OF THE COLLEGE OF HAWAII

in extension work. In order to be
most useful. it must be we'll organized
as well organized as any ether work
al the college itself.
Let the Demand Grow Up in the
COmmunities-The many educational
agencies are now fairly established.
and the country people in general are
aware OF the aids that they may re-
Ceive: and they are also aware for
the most part OF the deficiencies.
There are some regions and places, OF
course. into which extension enter
priseS must be carried bodily and as
gift; but these are now relatively
few.
1t is best to let the desires origi-
nate in the people themselves even
if it is not so rapid as some of US
would wish. and to be cautious of the
plans of those who sit in offices.
The New York state college Of ag
riculture formerly paid, all travelling
expenses of members Of the staff in
several lines of extension work. De-
mands for assistance from the college
grew very rapidly. During this time
they had an opportunity to study the
situation. Two facts became out
standing: first, that the appropria-
tons would always be inadequate to
meet the needs of the state: second,
that they were sending assistance to
many communities that were able to
pay something toward these expenses
themselves. They found that many
communities took a deep interest in
& particular piece of extension work
when there was a contribution on the
part of the community toward the ex-
penses: the people naturally felt as
If they were partakeTs rather than
onlookers. -< ...a $3.50
Now and then there Is a feeling that
the community is entitled to this ser.
vice without direct expense because
the individuals think that they have
paid for it in their taxes. This feel
ing is not marked, however, and is
easily met by pointing out the very
small amount of extension seryi6n
that could come to any given rural
community merely on the basis of the
taxes paid. Taxation supports the in
stitution and maintains the staff: the
college is here, for such use as the
people desire to make of 1t in an ex-
tension way. r-a...s. III. ~
In General-We have arrived at
standardized methods of college
teaching in the. sciences. professions,
and arts. We are beginning to stand.
ardize our regular college instruction

hates. 49,. ........1 .s-.. s.

THE war GAME IS ON

In fact the game is on; the game which this
country has sought to avoid by every means in
its power. The men and the means without limit
are at the disposal Of the c0mmandern-chief.
There is no division in thought or action on the
plain duty of the hour of many hours if need be,

made the move, there will be any hesitation OF
deviation from clear cut, determined course.
Mexico must come to time. s@g. .. x
If there is any sinister suggestion in the state
ment of Huerta that he views the future com
placently, this offers no terror to the American
people or their commander. If the Mexican
leader is hoping for assistance from without, our
country is ready to face the issue now.
Americans have never sought war. But they
can fight. And they will.fght, with a courage,

WORTH WHILE SUGGESTION.

Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin.
Sir: Entertainments for charitable
purposes, held in theaters where the
cost OF renting the theater and the
pay of musicians, etc, eat up nearly
all the profits is evidently a great
mistake. There have been several en-
tertainments given here lately and in
which it is said very little was made
after all the expenses were paid, and
those with but little means, whose
idea was to do good rather than to
hear the music, did not appreciate
this state of things at ALL And it is
hoped that hereafter if such enter
tainments are to be given for this
purpose that some of the rich resi-.
dents who have large and beautiful
homes and gardens will open them to
the purpose, just as Admiral Moore
IS about to do, and thus shave the
great expense of renting a hall or :
theater.
AS times are getting SO hard, and
there are so many out of employment
and in need of charity. one of these
entertainments could be given every
week in some one of the many fine
residences of the city, and the pro-
ceeds from same could not fail to be
OF great benefit to the poor of the
city.
II Is hoped that for the sake of suf,
fering humanity that this suggestion
will be taken up.
Very truly,
Y

A new ZEALAND GRIEVANCE

The great drradnought New Zealand. re-

coolness between the New Zealand government
and the British admiralty. The cOlOnialS feel
aggreved that after they provided the splendid
fighting machine it is not to he stationed in
South Pacific waters or even in Pacific waters,
hut somewhere around the European coasts
!, The London Times sets forth the peculiar cir,
cumstanees as follows:
''The disagreement between the New Zealand
government and the admiralty is much to he re-
GREETED The technical merits of the contr0-
rersy apart, it's origin is not in doubt. Mr.. Mas
sey has expressed the opinion that the Pacific
will he the storm center Of the future. The adj
miralty is tied and bound by the necessity Of
making adequate provision for naval defence in
European waters In these circumstances it is
hardly possible that Mr.. Masseys renewed re-
quest for the two Bristol cruisers will be grant
ed The result will, then he that New Zealand
will definitely enter upon a policy. of providing
for her own naval defence instead of making an
annual contribution to the imperial navy. The
dissatisfaction in New Zealand has been aggra-
waited by the use which is being made of the bat
tle-cruiser presented by the dominion. New
xealanders are justly proud of their gift, and
they have refused to make it conditional in any
way Now they find that the New Zealand is
definitels allocated to European waters. We
have repeatedly condemned this method of deal
ing with dominion.provided ship. Technically
justified, it is radically opposed to every prin-
lciple of imperial solidarity. What is thought of
it in New Zealand may be judged from Mr. Al

l'ecn given Internationally, it had certainly
leen supposed that she would constitute an adj

that this was not the case We have apprOpri-

warship which should have maintained the pres
tige of Great Britain in Pacific waters, and we
have left New Zealand to take the steps which
she herself thinks necessary for her own protec-
ton in a spirit which certainly borders upon re-
sentiment at the treatment meted out to her
This may be sound and necessary strategy, but

Citizens of Hawaii and more especially cur
Democratic fellow citizens should read, mark,
learn and inwardly digest the letter of Core
spondent Albert dealing with the appointment
situation in Washington. The flood of protests
which are being forced upon the Federal admin

who indulge in this practice, but through them
the good name of the territory as a whole There
is absolutely nothing to be gained by such tactics
1t is the game of the hyena in animal life and
of the small and petty mind in human kind.
When citizens of Hawaii act like children and
have no proper realizing sense of their rrspon-
sibilitF to their particular party and their com
nlunity life the President and his associate
have to treat them as children. We would much
prefer to see them all act as broad minded, far
seeing, capable and sensible average men. That $
the sort of American which appeals to the Presi-

such men that he listens.

Miss Gilbert had been accustomed

that she could be just as happy in

occurred where girls of fastidious
training have married poor men
amid the lamentations of their
friends and families and then lived
happily ever afterward. AS a rule
little is said about the happy sequel,
and it is an encoura cement to rO-

have two or three men in advanced
stages of intoxication in the front

1t frequently happened that the
horrible example thus pointed ont was

Both the young people were al

Mrs. Geraghty's knowledge Of society

And how does Julia French Ger

The simple truth Is that the girls

On August II the Geraghtys will cele-

The people of Woburn even declare
that Mrs. Gera ghty Is the happiest
woman in the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts, because she is still in
love with her husband, idolizcs her
baby and has plenty Of work to do.
One Of the terrible things that would
happen to Julia French Geraghty in
the opinion OF society people was hav-
Ing to do her own homework. After
she had been waited on by an Eng
fish butler and French maid and
host of other servants, they felt
sure this would be an unbearablo

nearly three years of this kind cf

Mrs. Geraghty's knowledge OF needs
and tastes in society has been very
valuable in showing them what pro-
ducts to raise and how to prepare
