KINDERGARTENS
MAY gain LITTLE

If, as has been said, the finance
committee Of the house reports a new
bill on financial aid for the Free Kin
dergartens and which will require that
such aid come from the. city and
county it seems probable that kinder
gartens and Fairgrounds will not faro
so we'll as had been hoped, for mem
bers of the board of supervisors do not
see how that. body can appropriate
more literally IN the future than 1t has
in the, past
Dan Logan is one of the board who
is outspoken in the passing of the
matter of aid to kindergartens ovei
to the city and county 1T is one
thing for the legislature to say that
the aid should come from the city and
county and quite another matter for us
to give that aid" says Logan. We
are already doing all we can afford
from the funds which we have on hand
and are, able to secure II the legis-
lature will provide us with more funds
we shall be glad to use them and to
give the kindergartens more aid. But
will the legislature provide us with
the additional funds that we require?
Will it render it possible for us to
secure the money to give to that OBJ
iect? We already need funds for many
things and have to do without them.
Let the legislature give us sufficient
money to run city and county affairs
rather than tell us how to spend the
money which comes into our hands.
am afraid that unless provision be
made so that we have additional funds
to use for slch a purpose we shall
beSable to do little or nothing more
than we are already doing, worthy as
may be the object"

BACKS CRITICISM
OF COLLEGE CLUB
ONSCHOOL TESTS
Mrs. Aunes C. Weaver Supple
mentS Questions as to Cor
rectneSs of Supt. Kinney'S
Figures

'1rreconcilabIe" are two sets OF fig
ures dealing with spelling tests in the
public schools, says Mrs. Agnes c.
Weaver of the College Club in a state
ment today. The statement adds TO the
College Clubs criticism OF Superin-
tendent Kinney's report to the COVER
ror, news of which was published in
Saturdays Star.Bulletin. 1t is as fol-
lows
THE preparation of trustworthy
statistics is not a side job, to be sand
wiched in to the small leisure of an
other vocation As the Superintend-
ent OF public instruction points out in
his recent Report, page 2, the sugar
mills employ chemist to test con-
stantIy the sugar content Of the juice,
not alloting the work to the genera
manager or his head luna. The chem
list has no interest in his findings, ex.
cept their accuracy; how much greater
the need of trained skill in discover
ing and making plain the many factors
il, so complex a social problem as an
efficient school system than in a prob
lem of organic chemistry.
IF the legislature appropriates
money for a federal survey, the terri,
tory may we'll rest assured that the
strangers sent here by the govern
ment of the United States TO tabulate
results will be trained statisticians,
as nearly accurate as any men can be,
absolutely free from personal bias. 1t
will be no amateur estimate by the.
manager Of his own handling of plan
tation accounts.
In regard to the Spelling Test, the
official findings of the Russell Sage
Foundation as quoted in the paper
published by it, and those as quoted
in the statement of the local report
are irreconcilable
The scale clearly indicates what
may be expected from children in the
various grades examined; whereas, the
local report credits 76 per cent of
correct spelling in the seventh and
eighth grades, the chart indicates 9S
and 100 per cent 1t viii be noted that
the local report credits grade with
letter spelling than grade s.

COUNTRY CLUB PLANS
SEVERAL ADDITIONS

The Oahu Country Club has been
issued a building permit for several
additions to the, club house to cost
$685. The improvements include the
erection of "a ladies' dressing room,

be built at the mauka end of the build
ing. .J... ~
Honolulu star-bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1912-2010, 1917-03-12

is it possible that education on the
mainland is going down hill all the
way from grade through the eighth
grade? Have the 10000 American
school children worse than wasted five
years in learning to spell? These data
are computed from 1.400,000 spellings
by 10000 school children in 81 cities
of the United States.
The only explanation that would
seem possible would be the disclosure
of some further set of statistics, other
than these published in its chart. In
the silence of the department of pub
lie instruction as to their possession of
such statistics, not generally made
public, perhaps the Russell Sage
Foundation might speak.
