Harvest Festivals Are As
 Ancient As Humanity

Ever since human beings began to till the soil the ingathering of the harvest has been marked with festive celebrations. and this custom has persisted, in various forms, through out the ages and in all lands. The harvest feast is the most universal and doubtless the oldest of all CeIe- brations, and it is as general today as when our savage ancestors of pre- historic spirit which animated the old feast of the ingathering' is mani fested at the multitude of fairs and exhibitions which are held at this season throughout the land, while Than nksgiVing Day also parttakes to some extent of the nature of man. kinds oldest observance. The farm CTS of ancient Rome and Greece and Asia, at this festal period, manifested their gratitude toward the gods of fertility. The Jews of the world, a1- though now largely q commercial peo- pie, are celebrating this week the Sue coth festival, in commem oratiOn of that distant period when their agri- cultural ancestors of Palestine gave thanks to Jehovah for blessing them with bountifu1 crops.
 In the old days in Great Britain, when agriculture was still the princi- pal pursuit of it's people and life was much simpler than now, the harvest festival was marked by many cus-
 
 to the sophisticated farmer of today, who, through the daily newspaper, the telephone, the telegraph and the pos tai service, has had the city brought to his very door. This day, the twenty-fourth of Septemb Der, was a popular date for those observances known as the Harvest Home in Eng land and the Kirn in Scotland, and which were transplanted to the New World by the English and Scotch col onists.
 The grain last cut was loaded on a wagon and formed. the central feature of triumphal procession, in which all the people of the countryside partici- pated. Many old songs gave expres- sion to their joy at the conclusion of the harvest. One of the most popular of these ran as follows:
 fHarVest-home, Aharvest-hone, We have pIoughed, we have sowed, We have reaped, we have moved, We have brought home every 1oadi'
 While no one can regret that mod ern science and invention have pro- vided the farmer with a multitude of mechanical appliances for easing his toi1some labor, it is too bad that the age of machinery have srnothered the joyous sentiments expressed in these lines:
 t'The boughs do shake, and the bells do ring,
 So nerrily comes our harvest in, Our harvest in, eour harvest in:
 So merrily comes our. harvest in! |, Hurrah!''
 And who can imagine a present-day farm laborer singing this toast to his
 And send his increase!"

The feature of the program for the
evening was the dramatic reading by
Miss Maude Drake, who has made a
great reputation on the mainland in
amateur theatricals. Another pleas

reading by Philip Mann, who is sol
der at Schofield Barracks. The pro

CITY HALL COMES NEXT.

Before the stanch advocates for a civic cen
ter can realize their ideal, there is much work
to be done, even though the biggest part of
the campaign has triumphed in the selection
of the Irwin site for the new federal building.
The construction of city hall comes next
in the point of public necessity, and the acqui-
sition of the gore lot at the junction of King
and Merchant streets is now in order. Possibly
there will be dissenters set : enough in their
convictions and strong enough in their infiu-
ence to delay the building of new city hall
for years on grounds other than those of fnan-
cial inability. Such delay would be mean
spirited. Honolulu has had too much factional
fighting over public improvements As to the
finances, the present inadequate city hall, !"
with scattered offices blocks away, is so no
toriously unworthy a municipality of more
than $4,000 population that change is highly
desirable Almost every taxpayer would ac-
quiesce in the issuance of bonds to pay for a
new city hall, but that probably will not be
necessary. The city can raise the cash or Sc
cure it by Legislative enactment to utilize pros
pective funds, and if the proposed Bishop es-
tate territory city transfer of property goes
through, the gore site will be acquired for al
most no money expense.

be used for the Girls Industrial School. And
there will be still enough, it is hoped, to get
for the Waialee school a baseball outfit or
something of the sort.
Honolulu has responded quickly to the OPP
portunty because the hearts of numberless
lIonolulans have been touched by the situation
at Waialee It is situation which has been
hard on the boys and perhaps just as hard on
the principal and his assistants. The school
has been stinted in appropriations. To get
along, it has been run as an industrial plant
instead of home where erring boys are led
back to the right paths and started out in life
again with reinforced characters
The active interest in this school shown by
these gifts should be developed. More money
is needed to equip the school properly and give
it wel-paid, competent teaching corps. After
January /, it will be in the hands of the new
commission, whose efforts deserve just as
hearty and sympathetic cooperation as is being
shown at this Christmas time. III:
Meanwhile, donors to the Christmas fund
may be quite sure that they are making this
holiday season of 1915 an event in the lives of
40 boys which may have Unexpectedly far
reaching results for good.

NOT MERELY A CHRISTMAS TREE.


Up to this morning the committee In charge
Of the Christmas celebrations at the Boys and
Girls Industrial Schools had in possession
something more than $3.50, given in the last
few days by the people of Honolulu.
This sum has been raised with comparative
" little publicity. Judge Whitney of the Juve-
nile Court also member of the new Industrial
School Commission, dropped into the office of
the Star Bulletin one day and said, We want
to give the boys at Waialee a Christmas trees
Since then brief articles on the subject have
appeared in the columns of this paper No
strong, continued appeal has been made; none
is necessary. Merely to know that such fund
is being collected is for Honolulu to respond
generously.
The fund has grown until it much more than
covers the sum needed to give the boys at
Waialee real Christmas. So part of it is to
