WAR AND LABOR

Professor Alvin s. johnson Of Co.
nell University, has written a strong
presentation Of the interests Of labor
in war, which was published in the
Atlantic Monthly. Some Of his points
will be of interest to all teachers in
the Territory of hawaii who deal
with the children of the laboring
classes.
His leading themes are that colo
NAL enterprise is improbable to
labor; that colonial markets are not
worth their cost to labor; that modern
warfare offers no increase Of wealth
to the members of the working class;
that the romance of war is yielding
to the romance Of civil life; that war
is a more serious hardship to the
working class than formerly; that tho
financial burdens of war rest most
heavily upon the working people;
that war delays the solution OF labor
problems, and that the labor move
ment is a guaranty OF peace. The
paper has been reprinted in pamphlet
form by the American Association
for International Cancellation.

Many Strange Combinations of Races Seen

I and half Irishj' Miss Stacker explains
in telling of her kindergarten family.
Her family has a very hard time.
She takes care of her little sister
all OF the time, and brings her TO
school every day while the boy in the
family takes care Of the house. Ysa-
bella is devoted to little Annie AMI
guards her constantly and sometimes
quite viciously.
Edith Ken Is our champion swim
mer and can make 30 yards in 81 sec
onds, although she is only II years
old. She is one quarter Japanese, one
quarter German and one-half Hawa-
fan.
Two pretty little Spanish Hawaii
an girls come here every day and are
always together. They dance, sing
and play in all the little performances
we give.
We have a good many Chinese.
Hawaiian and they are among the
brightest of the children. A little
while ago there were two East In
dams coming regularly. They were
the children of a fortune teller, and
l guess they must have left Then
there is Eskimo John whose hair is
as stiff as they say the hair of the
Eskimos always is.
Two little Japanese girls, Oku and
Tashiro, who are three am cour years
old, are usually here. They dance
beautifully together and are very
bright. Oku has very curly hair,
which is very rare among Japanese
The pride Of the kindergarten is
Cowboy He is a little bit of a
Korean who says he has no other
name. He is known by this name in
the school and have no idea of what
other name he might have. He loves
to sing, and when the children are
together we put him in the middle OF
the group on a chair and he sings
'Diddle Dumpty My Son John as loud
and proudly as his tiny body will al
low.
Karrissa is a little Filipino girl who
always is behind and talks with her
hands. Little Maria is one Of the ia
vorftes. She is a Spanish girl"
Tho children are not fed at Pala-

Here the older boys found them and
brought them back to kindergarten.
A kindergarten of 65 children has
been in session for about two weeks
at Palama settlement in the midst OF
one Of Honolulu's most congested dis.

O'Clock" says Miss Stacker, but the
children are so anxious to get here
that most Of them are waiting for the
door to be opened when l arrivre at
S:3e to prepare things for the day.
I'VE usually start early. The little
people are for the most part between
one and 10 years old, and they come
from poor homes In this district, t,en'
orally dirty, scantly clad, and hun
cry, and many times the little girls
bring their baby sisters with them.
"Soon after they get here they gath
er in small circles and say a quiet
good morning. One child stands In
the middle Of the circle and as each
child comes forward and silently
greets the one In the center, IL takes
the place of the first one, and so on
until they have all had chance to
be IN the center.
They sing their good morning
song in six different languages. First
ii Is good morning IN English, then
aloha, IN Hawaiian, ohio in jap
anese, bondie' in Spanish, 'deyavuta'

Educational News Of Special Interest
To Teachers In HaWaii's Schools
BY Vaughan MacCaughey, College of Hawaii
BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION.

In the last report of the College Of
Hawaii tie president states that "A
notable development taking place in
American colleges in recent years has
been along the lines of instruction fit
ting students better to enter business
life. Such instruction includes bust
ness law, accounting, banking, bust
ness management and kindred sub
jects calculated to give men a grasp
of the fundamental principles and
practises of modern business. All en-
gineers and other technically trained
men are expected to have some knowl-
edge of accounting and the fundamen!
tails of economics.
I'm addition to instruction along the
lines suggested to students in resi-
dence, there appears to be a very con-
siderable, and in some quarters insist
ent demand that the college give
courses which would be of value to
men of more mature age who have al
ready some business experience but
desire to extend their knowledge of
principles and modern methods"
