The house which for years has been
known as the Castle Homestead, now
used asatiae' WV. C! A. Homestead,
was built by the Rev e. w Clark in
1882, only IL years after the first
missionaries came to Honolulu. In
1910 s. N.5Castle, with his wife and
child, moved into the house and it
was the home of the Castle family un.
til 1899, when Mother Castle moved to
her Manoa hoTae.iIgyear sHe.: as,i,s 4
The Homestead Their became the
Castle Home for Children and con-
tinued as such under the able guild
ance of thep late Miss Belle Johnson
until February, 1905 Not long after
this, through the courtesy Of the
Mary Castle Trust the use OF the
place was granted to the Y. w. c. A.
for a home for, young women and
girls who were away from stneir own
homes. fiieb tbF gtuarst ses.Fa
It was then opened as the Y. w.
C. A. homestead WITH Miss Carlotta
Meyer, then the general secretary, in
charge, and it proved a happy home
for large number of girls.
In April, 1912, Miss Meyer was sue.
ceeded by Miss Esther Erickson as
general secretary, who also assumed
part of the responsibilities of rne
Homestead. When Miss Erickson left
Honolulu in June, 1914, the Home.
stead was presided over by Miss. Cur

Barnes. In October of that year Mrs.
j. E. Heating was appointed house
secretary, which office she held un-
til a few weeks ago, when the Home

Through the generosity of the Mary

Change In Milk Prices

Price of Milk is becoming a SER
ious topic of discussion among
local dairymen. Creamery and
wholesale prices are being con-
sistently reduced while it is un-
derstood that retailers in the
city are suggesting increase. In
Wilmington several of the retail
ers have given notice of advance
beginning July 1st.
The cooperative idea in the
sale of milk is again up for COM
ment. There is some talk of an
organization to conduct the milk
sales of this community. With
this plan, it is believed the farm
ers would in some measure have a
voice in the price of their pro-
duct. AS it now stands. the
farmer is almost forced to accept
what is offered. Advance and re-
duction in price is handed out to
him without question from him.

the commonwealth, it could hard
ly have discharged that func-
Clon, even had it's endowment
been greater, since no such sys-
tenn in fact existed. Public
schools, it is true, were not lack
ing. Though not so abundant as
they are now, nor always eff
ciently conducted, they occasion
ally furnished an approach to the
ideal of Plato, by reason of the
presence of a teacher capable of
transferring some vital thought
to the mind of the pupil-a capac-
ity which no certificate of profess
sional training can alone assure.
Teaching in those days was, in
fact, a favorite means Of liveli
hood with young men who aspir-
ed to careers of professional dis
tinction, and fortunate were the
pupils whose minds could catch
the glow of youthful and honor
able ambition of instructors of
that type. But, while great ex-
cellence in teaching was thus
now and then attained, there was,
after all, no irreducible mini.
mum of qualification. There was
no necessary standard of per-
formance; and the supervision
essential to the maintenance of
such standard was altogether
wanting. More than all there
was no appointed ideal, no Gen.
trail source of instruction and in
formation to which to look for in
"r'ration and guidance.
"This function Delaware Col
lege was destined eventually to
perform; but it is significant that
it was, as is well known, set on it's
career towards the fulfilment of
this high destiny, with the aid of
the national government. At the
present juncture, when candi-
dates for public favor claim for
their rival plans of military pre-
paredness specific and exclusive
virtues, it is not ungrateful to
turn to measure of educational
preparedness as to whose wis
dom and beneficence there can be
no difference of opinion. l refer
to the act of Congress of july
1862, commonly known by the
name of its sagacious author
then a representative and later a
senator from Vermont, as the
Morrill, Act by which large
areas of public lands, in the pro-
portion of 10000 acres for each
senator and representative in
Congress, were granted to the
several states, on condition that
the proceeds of the sale of such
