BOY WRITESON
SAVING OF FOOD

Here is an essay on food conserya.
ton by an n.year old boy at the
Royal School, All KAN: j.
Food conservation was adopted
lately. It means that we must not
waste anything. A little thrown away
means q large thing to the children
whose fathers and brothers are at
war. We must try to eat the food we
plant in our gardens. We can buy
things brought from the islands. BY
doing this We are helping the people
at war.
five buy food from the islands We
do not need so many ships to bring
food to US from the United States.
Then these ships can help to take food
to our soldiers on the battlefront.
We can also help to win the war
by not wasting anything. will try
cot to waste anything. Wheat espec-
tally we must not waste because the
people in other countries depend up
on wheat. :

A college education Is usually worth

Considering our question simply from

very large balance in favor OF the

A UNIQUE organization, the Mckinley
Citizenship Club, has been formed
among the boys OF McKinley High
school,. The club il o junior-senior Or
ganization and is designed mainly to
create q stronger spirit of school and
community citizenship In the school.
The purpose Of the club is three fold.
First, to make a comparative study OF
the American citizen, his duties and
privileges, and the citizen or subject
of other nations. This work will be
carried on by a series of papers pre-
pared and presented by various mem.
hers at regular meetings with the pur.
pose in mind of showing the advanced
position of the American government
and American citizen among the gov.
ernments and peoples Of the world.
Second, to take part in all school &C.
tivities such as debating, dramatics,
athletics and the social life Of the
school Third, to represent the high
school in patriotic and community
service.

Arbor Day In China.


For many centuries China has
peacefully slept while her once extern
sive and rich forests have been de,
stroyed. So ruthIessly and persistent
ly has this practise been carried on
that great mountain ranges have been
denuded Of all plant growth. The re-
sulting floods and torrents have
robbed the mountain sides Of their soil
covering leaving the bare rocks ex;
posed, and at the same time have dew
astated the neighboring valleys and
destroyed the agricultural value OF
adjoining plains by covering them with
heavy deposits Of sand. rock and de-
bris. This depletion Of the forest re-
sources and the accompanying devas'
tation of agricultural lands have
caused the depopulation Of once pros
porous industrial cities.
It 10 gratifying, however, to know
that; as China IL awakening to the best
modern thought in many other lines
Of endeavor she is also beginning to
realize the immense importance of re-
,forestation. This year the Chinese
government officially observed Arbor
Day. It is indeed very significant
fact that the president himself and
other high officials as well took active
part in the ceremonies and planted
trees with their own hands, thus by
their example and influence giving
great weight and impetus to the re-
forestation movement throughout
China. -, .x~-

(which College Shall My Son
Attend?" Pertinently Ans .
wered by Local School
IContrihnted.l

My boy is ready for college. To
which college should he go: Harvard.
or Yale. or Cornell. or University Of
California. or should he go to our
own College OF Hawaii" This is a
fair question, asked by many parents
in Hawaii, for many aspire to have
their sons and daughters go to COL
lege. The boy has been born in the
islands and grown up here without
having been away much to see the
rest Of the world. What Is more nat
ural than the desire to go elsewhere,
to a large eastern university perhaps,
for the college training?
The average boy is about seventeen
to nineteen years old when he is ready
for college-not yet a man, for he has
not yet found himself, his powers and
talents He is just coming to the
threshold of manhood, and in a year
or two or three he should be man.
The boy is still very plastic and Is
forming the habits which the man Will
have and which will determine the
powers and greatness Of the man.
In a crowded university. where
classes are large and teachers can
know personally none but a very few
the exceptionally good and the very
had or poor. a boy has a relatively
small chance Of discovering and de-
veloping his powers. He Is lost in
the crowd. He is not old enough to
have come into a full realization OF
his individuality and his own person.
atty, and. boy.like, follows the lead
Of others.
In a smaller college Of high stand
ard he has a relatively Iarge chance
Of discovering his powers and realiz-
ing his individuality, for he has a col
lege environment without the great
crowd. II 10 The college work, the col
lege atmosphere, the college democ'
racy which develops the college
man." The boy has a closer re:
lation with the professors in a
smaller college As a rule these
professors are as we'll or better
equipped than the assistants in the
large college with whom the fresh
men and sophomores come in con-
tact Great numbers do not make a
great colleges. In proportion to its
size, the average small college turns
out more well-educated, cultured and
powerful men than large colleges.
In these days Of specialization post
graduate work Is assuming more and
more importance and becoming a
greater necessity. This Is the train
ing Of q man, not a boy, to use his
powers to the full in some particular
lire. Obviously the great essential
for this education is an expert-pre.
ferably the best expert available any
where in each line. and 1t is usually
only in the largest universities that
such men can be found. ~ ..~

Special Glasses Needed in Many
Schools Of Hawaii.

Schools Of HAWAII.
In many Of the schools Of Hawaii,
both public and private, there is a
large and genuine need for special
classes. The special class is recog-
milton of the fact that all children OF
the same age have not equal capacity
for education and training.
II our public schools are to do their
work with real efficiency. the special
class 10 a necessity
In every school district there are
children who, under present conditions
are not receiving educational benefit
commensurate with the effort and
money expended on them. They in
clude the retarded, the intractable, the
backward and the mentally deficient
The latter is probably the largest,
as 1t is certainly the most important
Of these groups. These children are
a drag on the classes and teachers.
especially 80 where school attendance

proportionate share of absenteeism
and truancy, They have the same
claim upon the state for an education

child and community il directed along
lines that shall give him industrial
training aud habits adjusted to his
mental and physical capacity to &C.
quire and retain. In every graded ele-
mentary school and rural school dis
trict the number of these children
warrants the organization Of one or
