One Of the Oldest and subtest PHILOSOPHERS IN the
world teaches that the whole Of history consists in the
struggle between the principle Of good and the Prn-

is uppermos but that the good principle overcomes
the evil, the evil principle overcomes the good,
SO mankind marches forward to freedom or it falls
back into serfdom and slavery.
The great struggle between the good and the evil

Detection Of Errors
In spelling, as in any other art
or craft, it is easier for the critic 10
detect errors than to do constructive
work himself. The modern business
man, as has been indicated, does very
little actual spelling himself, but
hires it done for him by stenogra'
piers and office help. He is an ear,
lier school product, than they, and IS
likely to be severe in his criticisms
of the younger generation. The lat
ter, on the other hand, may have ION
the whole a richer vocabulary and a
better working knowledge of the Eng
lish language than the employer.
Many errors in spelling are not
bona fide mistakes, but lapses due to
wandering of the attention from the
material that is being written. The
remedy is training in concentration.
Mastery of Spelling
The psychology of spelling has
many peculiar and interesting fea-
lures. Most adults have had the ex-
perience of forgetting or becoming I'M
certain of the spelling of a word,
which for years has been perfectly
under command. This happens with
simple and common words. as we'll
as with complex and uncommon
words"
The teacher has no sure way of
knowing just when the pupil has fully
mastered word. so that it will al
ways abide with him. Due to the Pc
culiar psychological basis of spelling.
the initial error in the spelling of a
word usually persists with great ten
acity. Errors in spelling quickly be-
come habitual and are eradicated

and endesvoring to help in creating a
patriotism of the Pacific broad enough
to enthuse all men and races about
our great ocean.
Pan-Pacific Enters Pageant
in February of this year the Pan
Pacific club of Hawaii entered in the
great carnival pageant more than 100
floats historic of Pacific lands. Three
were models Of your old missions.
Many of these floats were built solidly
with the idea of presenting them later
to the public schools as models for
their grounds of the various types of
architecture in Pacific lands.
But to return to California" Mr..
Ford said in conclusion. 1T is a
strange coincidence that it was two
wears ago in Jules restaurant, in the
very rooms we now expect to occupy,
there was held the first Pan-Pacific
gathering in San Francisco, when the
exposition commissioners from Pacific
lands sat together and agreed to take
building at the San Diego EXPOSE
ton and fill it with Pan-Pacific ex-
hibits. The continuation of the war
modified these plans, but the Honolulu
Pan.Pacific club assumed all RESPONSE
bilities for the building at San Diego
and maintained it for the year 1916,
and at the close of the exhibition many
of the exhibits we're sent to Honolulu
as the nucleus of the Pan-Pacific Com
merCial museum there.

with the greatest difficulty. Most
adults have certain words which they
habitually mis-spell.
Three VocabuIaries
Every person has three vocabu
Understanding, writing and oral
These are very distinct for one an
other. both in requirement and in &C
tual use. Spelling at the present time
refers almost exclusively to the writ
ten vocabulary, and as an art is quite
Independent from reading or speak
ing. A large number of words, that
one is rarely or never called upon to
spell. are commonly recognized in
reading and used in daily speech. Few
people could spell all of the words
that they read in single copy Of a
newspaper.
No Good Rules
Unlike the rules and principles in
many other school subjects, rules for
spelling are too long and involved
and have too many exceptions. to be
useful or easily applied. Very few
persons use rules for spelling.
Spelling is a matter of sheer mem
DRY work, and as such lacks the ap,
peal of interest which other school
subjects possess. Pupils, like adults,
do not derive pleasure from uninter-
esting memory work. Our modern
mode Of life is destructive to the
memory.
Our Unphonetic Language
The highly unphonetic character OF
the English language makes its SPELL
ing the most difficult of all languages
to master. We are in dire need of
simplified spelling. The English
language, as currently used, is a
hodge-podge- of many linguistic ele-
ments. and ranges from pure Sans
krit, Greek, Latin, Anglo-Saxon and
other roots, to slang. jargon and man.

co. crisco). The language has grown
up with no reference to ease Of pro-
nunciation or spelling.
Our Changing Language
The English language, like all cther
appurtenances of life, is changing
with astonishing rapidity. Many
words have become practically dis
carded from common use. Many new
words are daily coming into use. This
has been especially true in the sci
ences, industries, commerce, military
and technical branches. This rapid
shift of vocabulary further compli-
Gates the spelling situation.
Our Small Voeabularies
DR.. Ayres, an educational expert,
made detailed study of 1000 typical
business and social letters and found
that 72O words comprised 80 per cent
of the words used in ordinary CORE
spondence. These are the words that
should be taught thoroughly. Part
of the spelling trouble has been that
children are taught how to spell thou
sands of words that they never use
in real life. In a survey Of Buffalo,
New York Sunday newspapers, it vas
found that seven words constituted
over onefourth of the whole number
in $4,000 running words of compost
ton. The schools need to cut down
the field of subject matter in spelling
and cultivate it more intensively.
In the best city schools today spell
ing is taught more thoroughly and
more scientifically than ever before.
II is to be regretted that modern
methods have not, as yet, reached
every school &c.

ened to delay the nations war pro-
gram. He has let II be known that
the governments Communicating pow
er will be made felt wherever labor
troubles are holding up government
work.
Secretary Of War Baker will WELD
the power, II is stated. At the ,direc'
ton OF the president he will place
oil plants working on government con-
tracts under government supervision
and keep them there until the war
ends. This plan Is said to have the
complete Endorsement OF Samuel Com
pers, president OF the American Fed.

taken today when he conferred with
VIM. Dynant OF the Council Of De-
tense mining committee; James Lord,
representing the American Federation
OF Labor, and Frank harrington, OF
the Illinois miners. II is understood
that the president delivered an ultiI
matum that the production OF raw mas
terials needed in the manufacture OF
munitions must not be allowed to lag
through friction between employers
and employees. The impression given
the labor representatives was that
the governments communicating pow
er might be extended to the mines II
it should be found necessary.
Cancellation committees will be ap-
pointed within a few days by the Sec
rotary Of war, II is reported, and these
committees will endeavor to effect
peaceable settlements of all labor dis
putes. Failing to do so, they will re-
port to the secretary that government
conduct OF the industries affected is
/ the only method left.

WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH


The following statement, although
not news, strictly speaking, will in
terest all teachers as dealing with
a vital school subject:
A prominent Honolulan recently
made the emphatic statement that
schoolboys could not spell. He was
convinced that this was due to incor-
rect and inadequate present day
school methods. He eulogized the
drill work of the reading 'riting,
'rithmetic" days.
The newspapers and business men
throughout the country are incessant-
ly criticizing the schools because of
poor spelling. To judge from current
discussions correct spelling is the
chief end of common school educa-
ton. 1t evidently has high rank in
the layman's ideal of a we'll trained
schoolboy.
1t should be noted that correct
