Fully confident that Hawaii should
not worry about lack Of cargo carriers
for the island service, James A. Ke1-
nedy. president OF the lnter-lsland
Navigation Co. and Honolulu repre-
sentative OF the national shipping
board, returned 10 honolulu yesterday
after two months srent on the main

Miss Jessie Kennedy, returned with
him

clared this morning when questioned
as TO the prospects OF Hawaii being
provided for. He is not so certain,
though, as to passenger boats. He
feels the government is making
known that people are not expected 70
travel for pleasure during the war.
There is not going TO be much trav.
cling during the war. The govern.
ment wants every one to remain al

his money tor war purposes" he says
Mr.. Kennedy, however, feels there IS
a grave danger that the shipping
board will take the Governor and
President away from the Hawaiian
trade unless the two big passenger
carrying vessels are better patroniZed
He believes the two ships are being
operated at loss by the shipping
board, as the amount Of cargo they
carry is limited, and because the
schedule of freight charges is based on
freight tonnage and speed OF the YES
sells taken over by the government.
He estimates that the freight charge
on vessels like the Governor and
President between Honolulu and San
Francisco would have to be about $i2
ton to make their operation profit.
able, since the owners Of the vessels
are to receive the rate Of pay from the
government which was announced
when the ships were commandeered.
The only comment Mr. Kenneiy
would make on the new schedule OF
freight rates between Honolulu ard
San Francisco was that some vessels
would earn a reasonable profit. some
earn too much and others be unable TO
make expenses. He says the new
LlSiSUI ] dlSS were "OIhSu OuI dS DS
ing equitable with those imposed for
ocean service along the Pacific coast
and on the Atlantic. The basis for
the rates is what the government is
required to pay for the use OF requisi.
toned ships and the cost Of operation.
The Inter-Island steamship man IS
outspoken in his praise Of the accom-.
modations, comfort, speed and sailing
qualities of the steamer President. He
told another shipping man in the pres.

Mr.. Kennedy's optimism in regard 20
the prospects for plenty of shipping
for Hawaii are in marked contrast to
his attitude three months ago, when
he returned from an earlier trip to the
mainland. Then he evidently had
grave doubts as to what might be the
outcome, but now he thinks conditions
are changing monthly.
There has been a great improve.

the fact that the grand jurymen re.

rem still mention his name with a Pc
culiar fondness and reverence. This
man was Benjamin R. Palmer, the
first regularly qualified physician in
Sank Centre. DR.. Palmer was cultur-
ed and possessed a fine medical edu-
cation, portion of which he received
| in Paris. He was a native of Penn
sylvania.
"a victim of pulmonary hemhorr-
hayes, forced to leave his home eli
mate, DR.. Palmer came to Minnesota
and its invigorating atmosphere. Nor
did he seek what in his day would cor
respond to the idle isolation of the
modern sanatorium, incapable, as it
| is, of not creating a morbid tendency
to self-inspection which itself is un-
healthful. He went directly to the
frontier and plunging into the ardu-
Gus duties, hardships, and even perils
that characterize the labor of one of
his profession in pioneer civilization,
prolonged his life twenty years by de-
voting it exclusively to the service of
others. Stationed at the old stockade
as military surgeon during the trouble
with the Indians, at it's cessation he
erected a home in the village and con-
tinuously until his death, in 1882,
devoted himself to the demands of the
extended and thinly settled region
which was tributary to Sank Centre.
In this life there was tragedy, there
was pathos, there was sacrifice, which
in other stations of society would have
called forth the Hottest tribute of the
panegyrist. Many of the homely in
cidents connected with his career have
made an indelible impression upon the
minds of the people of this locality.
His horse Wilder and his dog Don,
the faithful attendants upon his long
and weary trips, over poor and dan
gerous roads, retain almost human
place in the memory of the pioneer
families.
"He was a man inherently resource
full and, with the most meagre of
means at his disposal, met the emer-
gencies often thrust upon him with
an ingenuity that was indeed wonder
full. Of type of character modest and
unassuming he faced the difficulties of
his situation with a courage that was
not less than heroic.
"In the organization of the Grand
Army Of the Republic the B. R. Palm
err Post was so named as a token of
honor and respect for him on the part
of the old veterans"

The following interesting and de-

the people of the entire region that he

tween suggestions and assignment.
They understood the model problem.
They apply the explanations to new
situations easily and therefore can out
strip the rest of the class. At present
the trouble has been that teachers
spend most Of the time on the brighter
ones as they are more easily taught;
working with them is less taxing. But
in supervised study, extra work is
more easily given them and in that
way they may advance as readily as
they wish. Their reward may be ad-
mission into another class.
The time and attention will be con-
fined to the second and third groups
The second differs from the first in
lacking readiness of understanding
They need help along the way. But
the third group will require most of
tn: time be's"se every new dlf'h ui1y
arising in a problem is hard for them
to grasp, and apply to something just
a little different. The connection be-
tween suggestions and assignment is
a problem and here is the task of the
teacher. But this third group will al
ways be very small if the work is
properly done.
1t has been suggested that the pupil
should go through the motions of
studying until they get the habit and
if their efforts are well directed more
progress can be made and the life of
the school can be made more congen-
ial.
+ We have for our consideration, then,
problems of this nature:
Individual differences in equipment
of instincts and capacities.
Original tendencies to connections
between suggestions and assignment
of the lesson.
Functioning arrangements of re-
suits; desirable and undesirable re-
sponses.
The ability of putting things togeth-
er, in mind, which go together.
The ability to find the central sub
ject of lesson, with it's sub-topic ana
to construct topical outline.
