FROM SMALL Beginnings

Once in while a lttc-brancd and small
SouIcd resident mot worthy to be called citizcn)
of Hawaii feels called upon to speak slightngly
of the College of Hawaii because this young in
sttuton did not begin it's existence with Il thou
sand or two thousand pupils.
Fer such as thcse-and they. are fortunately
few-a recent experience of Ray Stannard l'a-
kerr as he tells it in the American Magazine, will
be of interest. Baker is writing a series of ar
ticlcs on Seeing America and in one Of his
letters from the field he speaks of 4 visit to the
University of Illinois:
Take the college of agriculture for exam
pie, which is a monument to the leadership Of
Dean Davenport. When Dean Davenport came
to the university, nineteen years ago,ehe' was
fresh from Brazil, where he had gone to organ
ize an agricultural college. Before that he had
been trained both as student and as professor
of agriculture at the Michigan agricultural col
lege, and before that he had been sOundly
brought up on a Michigan farm, knowing init
mately the life and aspirations of the American
farmer.
when he came to Illinois the school of agri
culture was little more than a joke. 1t existed
only because the federal government apprOpri-
ated some twenty thousand dollars which had to
be expended in agricultural experimentation and
instruction The state contributed not one cent.
There were three professors in the faculty and
nine students in the courses. When Dean Dav
export asked for a building to cost $4,000 it
was considered joke For nine students! But
he got it. He got it by the sheer force of the
idea which inspired him; the idea of, a truly
democratic educational system under the con-
troll of the state. Fer this he argued eal1yalnd
late; and there are few better presentations Of
the new educational idea which Perneates the
West than the addresses which he has gathered
together in a book called Education for Eff.
cheney
"Well, he got his building,-a very fine one
for the times,-and more students came. This
year, instead of three teachers there are 1875 in
the faculty of the college of agriculture and the
nine students of 1895 increasd to more than
1000 in 1913. Last year the state of Illinois,
which in 1895 did nothing, appropriated almost
enc million dollars to run the college of agrcul
ture for two years-and this in addition to ST.,
coo from the federal government So great, in
deed, has been the growth that it has Overrun
all the buildings, and Dean Davenport is' now
working for new agricultural laboratory to
cost 100000, and to be the noblcst structure
for the purpose in the world"
Mr.. Baker goes Oh 10 point moral, which is
that the state-suppOrted institution must have
the confidence of the people and does have it,
The moral of his statement, so far as Hawaii is
concerned, is that the young college growing up
cut there in ManOa is not to be Snccrrd at be-
cause of a small attendance. 1t has in it the Gle
ments of greatness and some day all Hawaii
will be intensely proud of this public educaton
al institution.

A GREAT PUBLIC ENTERPRISE
WITHOUT GRAFT.

II has been favorite argument
with those who maintain that great
enterprises can best be conducted un-
der private control and supervision for
the reason that graft is inevitable
when the government does the work.
One cannot deny that a great volume
Of evidence supports this contention,
and that experience justifies rather
than refutes 1t. But between that
fact and the assumption that graft is
inevitable in public work, and that
privately conducted enterprise is free
from 1t, there is ground for contro-
versy that will give opponents Of pub
licly conducted enterprise much
trouble.
The facts at Panama that have a
bearing on this subject are eyeopen'
ers. The atmosphere down there has
| conduced to honesty as well as eff
| ficiency. In fact, II could not be other
wise where efficiency has been so evi
dent, for honesty is a counterpart Of
that. The predominant factor in the
Panama work has been the universe
ambition OF those in charge to achieve
| that which they were engaged as ex
peditiously. as thoroughly and al
economically as possible. It has no
| been case merely of the heads Of de
| partinents watching for loose places
and dubious actions; on the contrary
all engaged, or practically all, wer'
enthused with the spirit OF giving thu
best service and getting the best re
suits. 1t has been as If honesty ant
efficiency were the personal business
of every man on the job. No privatel!
conducted enterprise of the same mag
nitude will ever show more uniform
devotion to the business in hand

chanical, too easily controlled by ex-
pert mechanists. The New York Dem
ocratic State conventions OF late
years, with Murphy in control, have
been very bad. The machinery OF
nominations in many States had got
SO full OF bosses that 1t has seemed
easier to throw 1t away than to try
to clean 1t up. 1t is situation, not
a theory, that has made advocates for
direct primaries. Something had to
be done. But the convention idea was
good. and 1t worked pretty well a long
time. Our government is party gov
eminent. Somehow party voters must
agree whom they shall vote for, and
somehow their leaders will get to-
gether and talk it over. We shall see
how that will be managed, but man.
aged 1t will be somehow. And II we
are to have direct primaries 1t seems
obvious that we must have the short
ballot-not vote for so many candi-
dates, but only for representatives and
a few responsible executives, leaving
many of the offices which we now fill
by election to be filled by appoint
mentl-Life.
