Teaching Face to Face.
He does not indulge in research; he
does not write books. His forte is teach
ing. face-to-fsce and hand-to hand. But
let US not be deceived about the reason.
This man. and other men like him, no
doubt honestly believe that they do not
engage in research or write books be-
cause they do not have time. l do not
think that is the real reason. The rea-
son is that they are more interested in
living persons and contact with them
than in study. They would not write
books or pursue research if they had
time. They find their personal safisfac-
ton in striking their sparks through
personal contact. Those who have both
capacities do both things. Rare is the
great scholar who is also a great mix

out what il is. He is more afraid of
them than they are Of him, Where shall
we find the catalyst who can make per-

Sometimes the professor in a laudable
effort appoints an hour when he will
meet students on terms of equality and
human fellowship. The men he wants

partly why the college public opinion
tends to discourage response to this kind

does draw around him the best and livest

/ But a good deal Of nonsense is talked
in colleges about this education between
scholar and teacher. between learning
and education. / have lately seen q
good many men who say they canno'
have much personal contact with theil
students because il would interfere with
their research and the writing Of books
that are necessary for the fuel Of the
teacher. Their constant effort is TO avoid
face-toface -'tuiorial- teaching. and, in.
stead. TO lecture, TO give courses. Their
excuses do not convince me. What
see behind il all is a tradition. a Gus

not have it in EnglandD. that it is some
how more dignihed, more impressive, to
lecture than TO teach man-to-man. ! dare
say il Is the easier. You can write
out your course Of lectures once for
all. keep it brushed up tperhaps) from
year TO year; and drop it down on the
students heads from your pedestal so
many times a week. In personal con-
tscts and discussions you have to stay
awake and make quick adjustments Of
memory and facts. My guess is that in
most cases the honest answer to the
question why don't the professors get
closer to their students?- is that they
don't want to- II is too much trouble.

Nor must We overlook the many in
stances in which the professor is so fine
and effective a teacher that his classes
are large beyond the possibility Of per-
sonai touch. The students flock TO them
for what they get from him. He may
never know their names. but in spite Of
that the personal spark gets across. And
here comes in the dismal, practical fact
that sometimes in unmanageably large
classes an assistant professor or section

Supervisors Seek
Make Ends Meet
Passes Appropriation Bill For
Three Months Only; Salar-
les Cut and Economies Put
Into Practice.

Maui County supervisors passed a
three months appropriation bill yes
terday instead of the usual measure
covering governmental costs for a
half year period That course was
pursued because of the uncertainty as
to what the new assessed valuation
of property will be land the fact that
three months hence much more def
mite idea of what it will be can be
formed. But in preparing the budget
the board sliced and pared, cut sala-
ries where possible and undertook
other savings measures. 1t worked
on a basis OF a $35,000,000 valuation
instead of the s44,000,000 valuation
on which last years revenue was
raised.
With the exception of the engineer.
ing department and the examiner of
chauffeurs, salary cuts were made
where the board has the fixing of sal
aries, being unable to touch those
which are fixed by the legislature
such cuts being generally about 1C
percent. New regulations relating tc
allowances for tires, upkeep, mainte
nance, gas and oil for automobiles
weer also dfdered into effect.
Hospitals and the sanitarium will
receive less this year than last. 1t Is
estimated that there will be raised
$16O, 900 instead of 100000 for those
purposes and the Kula institution will
have to get along with $4,000 instead
of $105,000 as 1t asked. This will
probably curtail some of the i'm
provements contemplated there. Chilli
welfare appropriations are cut prac
tically in half and the fund for indi
gents is also heavily reduced.
The board feels that If the decreas
in assessed valuations shall be les
than has been figured, it can be NOR
liberal in the later three quarters o
the year and meantime acted on tn
safe side.
The appropriation bill carries Ii
tie less than $4,000 for the count
expenses for the quarter, excludin
hospitals, sanitarium and schools.

Wharf Tolls to be
Put Into Effect
By Harbor Board
Decision to that Effect Reach
ed Tentatively, Vote To
Come Later; Some Rate
Concessions Made.
ASSOCIATED PRESS

HONOLULU, Jan. 6-Concessions
in rates were made by the harbor
board at its special meeting and hear
ing on proposed wharfage tolls last
night and the board tentatively ap-
proved the schedule deferring final
vote until later meeting. The only
organization to appear in protest was
the Retail Trades Board of the Homo
lulu Chamber of Commerce which
presented resolutions of that body in
opposition to the proposed tolls and
insisting the provision of the law au-
thorizing tolls was not mandatory.
Reductions were made on vital pro
ducts from the figures in the original
tentative tolls program, such reduc-
tions affecting sugar, pineapples, cof
fee and bananas. The board also
took into consideration the financial
stringency and made the rate .075 a
ton on shipments away from the Is
lands, with an inter-island rate of s
cents ton. Rates on general mer-
chandise have not been decided.
The board of retail trades in it's
resolutions criticised other public
bodies for not showing more interest
in matter which it considers of so
great importance.

Conference Makes
Further Progress
Submarine Problem Appears
To Be Strengthening Out;
Concessions Made to China
Do Not Satisfy.
ASSOCIATED PRESS


WASHINGTON, Jan. 6-Def1nite
progress toward the settlement of
submarine issue and headway toward
the settlement of Chinese problems
were made by the conferees yester-
day. A third provision has been add
ed to the submarines resolution which
now has the approval In principle of
the five powers. There is to be FIVE
power naval treaty which the British
spokesman says will be construed as
neither offensive nor defensive. He
said that neither Britain nor the
such an Interpretation of the propos-
ed quintuple treaty. He also said
that any signatory to the treaty be-
coming involved in a war with non
signatory would have the right to in
crease its naval strength above the
ratio to other powers provided by the
proposed treaty.
The nine power conference on Far
Eastern affairs adopted an agreement
which permits an increase in Chinese
tariff rates to 5 percent and adopted
resolutions providing for the with
drawal of foreign troops from China
which will be discussed by the lega
tions in Peking and a committee OF
three Chinese representatives.
The new tariff will increase China's
revenue, it is estimated, by $4,000,
900 annually and the resolution pro
vides for further increases where
Chinese reforms warrant it. The
Chinese expressed disappointment
that no date was fixed for the with
drawal of foreign customs officials
and control troops.
The other resolution provides tha
the ambassadors will confer witt
Chinese officials whenever China 81
requests relative to the declared in
tention to withdraw troops from
China when conditions make 1t prac
ticable.
Following consultation betweel
Chinese and Japanese representa-
tives the Chinese said that unless
Japan agrees to China's terms for tn
purchase of the Kiachao railroad to
day China will regard the converse
tions on that subject as at an end.
The third clause in the resolution
relating to submarines provides tina
1.-THE signatory powers recognize tn
practical impossibility of using sui
marines as commerce destroyers wit
out violating international laws a
rhey were violated from 1914 to 1917
There are requirements UNIVERSAL
accepted by civilized nations for Tn
protection of lives of neutrals an
non-combattants and to that end pr
hibition of the use of submarines a
commerce destroyers shall be accep
ed universally as part of the laws
nations and the signatories now a.
cept such prohibition as binding I
themselves and that other nation
shall adhere thereto.

ted in the Wailuku Jail to await advic-
es from the federal authorities at

to the killing.
According to Sakamoto the trouble
started in the ships galley on No

were words and quarrel, he says and
he left the galley. Later he hays the

ceed $4,000 was voted by the mem
bers yesterday at the annual meeting
held in the Territorial building. Use
of the fair grounds for the Foresters

ports and electing trustees for the
year 1922.
Proposals to bond the property of

Field Will Give Up
Management Of Maui
Hotel Company Soon

Change in management of the Maui
Hotel Company and of the Grand
and Maui hotels in Wailuku and the
Pioneer hotel at Lahaina will be an
nounced probably within the next few
days. William H. Field has decided
to take protracted vacation and a
needed rest after long years of cater
ing to the wants of the travelling pub
lie. There are few places where the
strain upon the hotel man is more
trying than here where steamers
bring incoming guests late at night
and in the early morning hours. Mr..
Field has felt the strain and decided
to free himself from it for a time.
Who will take over the management
has not been determined up to this
morning.
Mr.. Field said yesterday that he
has been recognizing for some time
the need of a rest and had finally de-
cided to take it. He and his family
will live at the Maui Hotel until the
road up lao Valley is ready for travel
and will then occupy their beautiful
valley home which has been difficult
of access since the flood of six years
ago washed out the road.
Mr.. Field built and opened the
Maui Hotel 81 years ago which at that
time was considered far in advance
of Mauis needs for years to come.
Later he built additions and enlarged
! the Maui into the present building.
| Three years ago he formed the idea
of securing string of hotels ON Maui
and leased from George Freeland the
Pioneer Hotel at Lahaina, the West
Maui port being considered the main
gateway to Maui for tourists and
travelling men, and he conducted the
two hotels under his one management
To these he added the Grand Hotel
two years ago and conducted the
three under one management. Finding
it unnecessary to conduct two dining
rooms he closed the one in the Maui
Hotel and used that building as an
annex or for room accommodations
only for guests who took their meals
at the Grand.
Mr.. Field is in terms of years of
experience one of the oldest bonifaces
of the Islands and his service has
been practically continuous for two
decades. In that time he has form
ed wide acquaintance and to the
travelling public of the Islands is one
of the best known men of his pro
fession, greeted by all of the old
timers as Billy" Field.

that the split over the treaty is fun
damental and irrevocable. He will
