Vocation Report Puunene School
Vocational work during the term
was as follows:
The work in the shop was made to
coincide as much as possible with the
garden work as well as the general
school work. For the garden over
thirty hoes, three picks, five rakes,
three cane-knives, and two spades
were repaired. Two leveling frames
and one hundred flood gates were also
constructed. From time to time the
garden tools were given an overhaul
sharpened and repaired. For the
school all repair work that came up
was attended to.
In addition to the above, each OF
the smaller boys constructed a bench
hook. These bench hooks were all
constructed of the same length and
work carried on expressly for the pur-
pose of instructing the pupils in squar-
in, ~gauging, and planning a board cor
rectly. The bigger boys were requir-
ed to build meat boards where joining
was the purpose of the work.
From fifteen to twenty minute talks
on the names, care, etc, of tools,
were given to the pupils daily until
the last two weeks of school.
Two work benches, four flower
stools, one roosting pen, n trap
nest, and one dresser were construct
ed.
Garden-Last years garden map
was changed entirely. Irrigation
bitches were constructed thirty feet
apart with a path running along ev'
cry ditch, and the whole ground was
levelled by means of a spirit level and
a level frame. A strip ninety feet
wide and two hundred feet deep was
allotted to the school, a strip thirty
feet wide and two hundred feet deer
given to the Boy Scouts and a STRIP
ninety feet wide and three hundred
feet deep was divided among indivi
uual gardeners Edcn Vi IHeSe AhulFl
dual gardens are fifteen feet square
and have one side running adjacent tC
a ditch. No banks are allowed be
tween these individual gardens ant
rows must all run in one direction
viz, at right angles to the ditch. This
is done for a three-fold purpose; to
save ground, to a water, and .C
beautify the garden.
Nothing has been planted in h in
dividual gardens, but the Boy Scouts
garden and school garden are planted
with the exception of about six hun
dred square feet of ground which has
been reserved for a later crop.

The boys have planted their gar

garden contest. The vegetables are
growing well.
Mr.. Krauss from Haiku talked to the
boys on January 2S about gardening.
They were interested in what he said.
Mr.. Judd and Rev. White visited the
Puunene School last week. Rev.
White told the children a, story. Mr..
Judd also told us a story about saw

practical gardening for many of their
parents and neighbors are truck gar
deners. Experimental gardening will
interest them because in connecting
the lessons with what they know, they
will try the experiment at home to
see whether better results can be OBJ
tanned or not. In this way the boys
will be of great help to their parents
and friends in improving crop produc-
ton.

At the beginning of the term l
spent most of the time i'll getting the
shop and garden in good order.
The benches in the shop were all
planned and scraped and arranged in
good working condition. Then the
tools. the tool-room were checked
down according to the inventory. All
the dull tools were ground and sharp
ened. Because Of the delay in making
the program boys came irregularly.
Finally the program was made and /
started the boys in making bench
hooks. The larger boys | used in
making the large tables for the cafe
terra and other small articles ordered
by the teachers. We have just COM
pleted TWO study tables for the Paia
T%eachers's cottage.
We were handicapped by the lack

til very recently that available lum-
Der was brought into the shop. As
suggested by Mr.. X. c. Bryan / am
putting three periods of my time in
shop work and one period in garden
ing. Two to five boys come to work
on Saturdays. They bring whatever
lumber they can get at home and make
simple furniture.
My garden was at the beginning of
the term a most neglected one filled
with nut grass. The first half of the
term was spent in digging out the nut
and preparing the soil. 1t was not
until after some hard tackling chat we
were able to get the young plants
growing. One great handicap is that
no water is available during school
hours in the garden for the kitchen
has to have the water. Even when
no water is being used by the kitchen
very little water can be gotten
through the hose pipe.
AS the garden work in this school
is not very encouraging owing to this
environment and poor soil, l would
suggest that more experimental gar
dening be worked out. Most of the
boys are well acquainted with the

dozen pair now ordered we should
have 40 dozen additional pairs at the
earliest date possible. Splendid in
terest has been shown in most of the
schools and many of the teachers
have had a lesson from the supervisor
nearly every week. 1t is most i'm
portant that the grade teacher give
this primary hand work in order that
it may become a part of the number
work, language, geography etc.
In one of the largest schools the
principal has insisted on specializing
on this hand work and now this spec
ial teacher has resigned, so his school
has made practically no progress.
Hand work has not been correlated in
fore l must report hand work in this
school almost a failure. Contrast this
school with another about the same
size and we find a corps of teachers
taking a lesson each week from the
supervisor. Each grade teacher is
responsible for the hand work and is
making it a part of the number work,
language, geography, history, etc.
The contrast is like two firms en-
ploying the same efficiency specialist
one taking his suggestions and the
other doing opposite. After a year of
allure l expect this school to realize
its mistake.
In my opinion the reason so many
pupils are in the first and second
grades is owing to the excessive
amount OF abstract teaching. Hand
work of every kind should be en-
ployed in teaching language, reading,
number work, history, geography, ma
ture study, etc. Teachers and princi-
pals should be made to feel that some
thing is vitality lacking in the methods
followed if it takes from three to five
years TO finish the first and second
grades. Following a good method any
trained teacher with a years expert
enc should be able to pass 900 OF
he second grade pupils in one years
time.
We are now ready to add clay
modelling and weaving to our hand
work program if we can get the clay
and the ways. l understand hat clay

While there has been some opposi.
