Not a few of the traditional friends ol Hawaii and its native people may be hearel to express doubt of the value ol such educational weirk as is done for Hawaiian girls by Kaniehaineha, Kawaiahao, Maunaolu and Kohala schools. The current criticism is that the pupil m these schools receives a training that adds certainly to her attractiveness and makes her a more desirable companion, but that it is impossible to develop in her a corresponding moral resistence to temptation, hence she is more ardently sought for by evil men and easily falls a victim. It is surprising how widespreael this idea is. If it were true it would be a strong argument against those who believe that "education is salvation." The only way in which to meet generalizations of this kind is not to quote instances of educated Hawaiian girls who are conspicuous for virtuous and noble lives—and there are numbers of them—but rather patiently to institute a study of the graduates of these schools and ascertain the facts. Unfeirtunately for years Kohala, Maunaolu and Kawaiahao seminaries had no fixed courses of study, no definite graduations, no goals set before the girls in acquirement of knowledge. Conditions prevailing at the time doubtless made it elifficult to do anything else than run the educational machine haphazard. Such a system or lack of system would naturally lead to haphazardness of living, yet there are many instances of sturdy womanhood developed during this period in these schools. Of late, however, all this is changed. The influence of Kamehameha has without question been very helpful in this direction and now for several years all of our Christian Girls' Schools have had' determined courses with fixed requirement for graduation and diplomas that stimulate ambition. Coincident with the Introduction of system into chaos the habit of keeping in touch with the graduates has been cultivated. Kamehaineha has done this from the first and its receirel eif all its alumnae is a model eif good work. For seven years Kawaiahao has maintained a like interest in its former students, while Maunaoht anel Kohala are just beginning to institute a like custom. The two latter schools have Buffered from frequent changes of principals. Kamehameha has organized its graduates Into a very effective and loyal alumnae association, which holds the highest ideals constantly before both its members and the undergraduates. Similar organizations will without question soon surround each of the three other seminaries with a wall of defense. No greater moral force for growing a healthful school spirit is known than a vigorous association of its graduates. The records carefully maintained by Kamehameha for ten years and by Kawaiahao for seven years afford accurate data for testing the flippant criticism urged against educatine Hawaiian girls. The facts are simply overwhelming. Kawaiahao has during the past seven years sent forth 74 girls. Their story today is as follows: Niarrieel 16 Teaching 19 Nurses 2 I >rcssmakers 2 ()rganist in church I Domestic service 5 Telephone operator 1 In steam laundry 3 Clerk in store I Milliner I Living in their parents' homes.... 4 Attending Normal and High Schools 15 Leading openly immoral lives 4 During its ten years Kamehameha Cirls 'School has graduated 85 with the result noteel below: I )eceased 3 Marrieel (teachers 3, clerk 1) 34 Teachers 13 Stuelents 12 Stanford University "1 I High School [■ 2 ; Normal 9 Stenographers, typewriters 4 of the married members.

Six of the eiglil are married and are now doing well. ( hie- is earning a live' 'ihood supporting her child and is truly repentant. One 1 have not been able to trace." These facts speak volumes to those who know the conditions of life in Hawaii ami who appreciate the awful truth that there have always been and are now numbers of white men whose habit it is to prey upon the girls of the native race. A Hawaiian young women who stands the storm that assails her purity here' is worthy of far larger praise anel honest admiration then her white sister. These records not only show that Christian education for Hawaiian girls is justified by its fruits but also demonstrate tei the man who has any conception of the battle that these alumnae have tei fight, that the Christian girls' schools of Hawaii are its chief social hope. It is a speaking fact detailed by Miss Pope that of eight graduates who fell before the fust onset of the storm, seven have' reasserted their woman hooel ami now stand true. The imperfect records of Mauiiaolu and Kohala tend to recn force the above careful study maelc by the principals of the' two schools cited. In a few more years there will he a still larger body of ascertained facts. There can be no doubt whither they will point, for every year is showing better results. The day for doubts as lei the wiselenn of celucating Hawaiian giris in Christian schools, whose aim is to equip them with an industrial as well as mental and spiritual panoply lor winning righteous character, has past.

'The Conference was of the inspirational type rather than educational like that held later in the month in Shanghai. The underlying thoughts of the program were three: (t) The contribution made by Christianity to the life of the principal nations of the world; (2) The great unifying religious truths] which the Federation movement emphasizes ; the power of the spirit of God, the Lordship of Jesus, and the value of the Christian scriptures, the scientific attitude to Christianity; (3) 'The responsibility which rests upon students for the evangelization of the worlel. The presence eif large numbers of pastors from all over Japan insured the communication of the inspirational influence oi the Conference to all parts of the Empire. This result was further secured by a carefully planned evangelistic campaign carried on in all parts of the Empire for a number of weeks, both before and after the Conference. Everywhere the amplest opportunity was given for the presentation of Christian truili. Even iii strong Buddhistic centers the municipal authorities granted the use of the city hall for evangelistic meetings. It is impossible, of course, to eletcrmine with accuracy what the outcome of (his evangelistic campaign has beenThe most important result is thought to be the larger opportunity which has been secured for the effective presentation of Christianity henceforth by resident Christians in the cities visited by evangelistic speakers. At the close of the campaign, about two weeks after the' Conference, 171x1 inquirers anel applicants for baptism hail been reported. A little later one whose estimates are carefully made wrote me as follows: "When the results are all in, no doubt there- will be- over 2000 seekers, an 1 of these I estimate that- 1400 are really earnest men who will be followed up and brought into the Church within the next year or two." During the Tokyo Conference outsiele evangelistic meetings were held for Chinese. Keircan anel Japanese students studying in Tokyo. These meetings were attentled by more than 10,000 stuelents. The whole movement has been most carefully planned anel is intended not to be sporadic but to serve as an introduction to an era of continued evangelism carrieel on by Japanese Christians.

We consider it a privilege to be able to publish the following letter from Miss Jenny OUn, missionary of the American Board in the Carolines, to a frienel in Honolulu.

Certainly the' story tolel below with no (hot of publicity gives an inner view of the life' of these heroines who are enabling the rest of us to have' a share in obeying our Great Captain's command t<» reach every creature with his Clad 'Tidings by sending them forth. — KM. Kusaie, Caroline Islands, March iH, 11)07. As you see, I am still at Kusaie, and see no prospect of leaving it in the near I arrived here Sept. it, 1905, nearly two years agei, ami Miss lloppin left by the same steamer, according to previous arrangement. When 1 got here the e-ar penters we're putting the' finishing touches to a small house built out of the debris of our old house and four or five others. 'This house is the one we are still occupying, and to judge from the way things don't move, probably shall continue to occupy for the rest of our existence as the (iirls' School of Kusaie. It is a littlecottage, about 10x30, containing two rooms and an attic, ami surrounded on thre'c sides by a wide veranda. In the attic the girls sle-ep, all but six, who flow over into the room which they use during the day for a school room, and general living room. My bed occupies the front veranda and our dining table another corner of it. YoU know it is healthy to sleep out of doors, but with as much rain as we have, especially when the- wind helps drive it in everywhere, 1 sometimes wish I had a place where 1 might keep out of it. The front room of the cottage is Miss Wilson's ami my sitting room, hut it often has to be used for other purposes, owing to the stnallness of the house. Miss Wilson has a little shanty to herself, about with a thatched roof. She slept al first in our silling room, but the girls make so much noise turning over in the night, that she geit no rest at all, and was growing very nervous, so about a year ago we hail this little sheel put up for her. 1 have' one little' cubby hole lo invsi'lf; a part of the' veranda, lOx6, being inclosed. In this I have my dressing room, mv writing table, and all the sewing materials fe>r the school. If you think its not crowded, just conic and see. But it is Hotter than nothing at all. Beyond the house proper is a little dolly house kitchen. You know my arms are pretty long. Well, 1 can stand in front of the (ire. ami reach nearly everywhere in that kitchen. When two persons are insieTe it, it is full, and if more come in they overflow. Strange' to say, it is not nearly as hot as one might expect. It has two doors, and two window holes, for there are no windows, only blinds to keep out the rain, and it is not ceiled overhead. The girls have their own cooking sheel anel eating house which is only a roof ami a fleior. In rainy weather it is wet and disagreehle, and at any lime the chickens think it was made especially for them. 'Thus Mt have lived nearly two years now, anel yet I am no grayer and no thinner than Wheit YOU saw me on mv way down., If you ask nie' what we do, and how WC manage I hardly know. The ne-rvous strain of working in this way is great, and probably both Miss Wilson and will begin to show it vei \ soon. In fact I think we do already. But the constant noise is something terrible and yet the girls are not excessively noisy. It is only that there are too many of them for the place. We have forty-one' girls living in the house with us, and two young men who spe'iiel most of their lime here except nights. .Also one small boy who conies to school every day, making forty four pupils in all. 'This is less than we had before, but I do not think we could find sleeping space for one more. (If these, I twelve come under Miss Wilson's leaching.

Do you remember once telling me that at hoarding school you hail to have recreation day on Monday to ge-t resle'd after Sunday?

'These last two on Friday. When Friday night comes I am usually limp. But it is only every other week that I have the girls, the other one Miss Wilson takes them, but the Kusaien work is all my own. I trievl to drop it a while back, but they did not think they could possibly get along without help and there is nei cmc else to help them at this time. In a week from today 1 go to Ix-lu to meet the mail steamer. That is the regular bi-monthly program. We have a little shanty there, but I generally sleep out of eTeiors even there.

This institution will work in hearty cooperation with the forces already at work anil will, in a large measure, fill the gap in our present system of private schools by provieling for those races not already provided for.

Thus it will be a valuable addition to the educational forces of Hie Territory, bringing its influence to bear upon hundreds of homes and lifting thousands lo higher standard of life. THE OUTLOOK TOWARD THE MAIN' LAND. B finding a satisfactory solution to her itional and social problems, Hawaii has eted considerable attention from the lnnd when similar problems have become fious. In the eyes of many Americans, tii has nchieved the impossible, she has proven that the Occident and the Orient will fuse; she hns proven the superior strength of Christian education over superstition and tradition; she has shown that kind and goner ous treatment will receive a like lesponse. And those facts will have a decided historical value, for they must enter largely into America's future policy with the Orii'nt. The rich and rapidly growing eoinmei-i c of the I'acilic is coveted by America, but, owing to a mistaken policy, it is slipping from her grasp. Americans have spent millions on for eign missions in China and Japan, but the hostile attitude of ei'rlain sections toward the Orientals has neutralised much of the good done by the missionaries. America will not permit a blunder to become a permanent impediment to her progress, and the mistakes of the past and the present will be corrected when condition! are properly mi lerstood. Hawaii has faced and mastered these same conditions and, with a perfect understanding of them, stands today as the International Schoolmaster of the Pacific, teaching the nations the blessedness of charity and fair play. The Mid Pacific Institute is destined to take a prominent part in this general educational work. The schools of which it is composed have already done much toward bringing together the East anil the West in this Territory, they have exerted a salutary influence in China through their former students, and they have sent to America splendid specimens of Oriental youth wbn have made most favorable impressions and given to many a more correct opinion of Oriental rhara iter. With increased capacity and better equipment, the Mid-Pacific Institute will be able to multiply this usefulness in bringing these great peoples to a better understanding of each other. Mtd-PscMc Institute: Tiir„in* the Sod lor the Fir* THE OUTLOOK ASIA-WARD. A member of the Japanese Parliament, who has recently visited Hawaii, has left this graceful and satisfactory testimony: ''This is a beautiful count ry and the most astonishing thing that I have learned during my short stay here is the harmony which exists in this cosmopolitan town, where nearly every nation of the earth is rei,resented. I will report favorably to the home government on the conditions and the treatment of the Japanese residing in Hawaii."

In the great lands beyond the Roa "the old order change!h,"-in the Orient is dawning a better and brighter day and towards the new light are turned the expectant faces of the young. Our doors should open in welcome not only to those who are already here, but to other eager students from their home lands, who may seek further knowledge in this favored spot. Here is to arise a school, set in the midst of a landscape of surpassing beauty, in a climate of unusual charm, from which we trust will go forth a long Succession of those who shall be indeed "heralds of truth" to the millions of Asia.

EARLY DAYS AT KAWAIAHAO. ByLBidnghamCoan. Aug. 3rd, 1840, a little girl saileel away rom Oahu with her parents, who for twenty cars had been faithful, laborious mission ries on these shores. Over the waves came i plaintive sound. It was the wailing of a niiltitude of once heathen people as they On departing barque, bearing from hem their pnstor and their teacher. Is it ny wonder this child held in kindly remeinirance these natives so devotedly attached to ier father and her mother! As the Venn went on her life was marked by varied providences—one very striking one was a call lo return to her native land to conduct a boarding school for Hawaiian girls. Forty-si« years ...ore her mother began the lirst school ever established ill these Islands. Wliy should she not take up the work that blessed mother would have loved to carry ont Resigning her position, that of Principal of the Ohio Female College, near Cincinnati, she embarked at Boston, on boarel Morning Star No. L', then uniicr command of Rev. H. Bingham, Jr., and after a voyage of four months around Cape Horn, landed at Honolulu, in March, 18G7. She looks back eat,lied the now over these past forty years and tries to recall some of the scenes and experiences of the far-away days of small things. Four buildings stood within the enclosure now occupied by Kawaiahao Seminary. Two were in front; these were the old bindery of the mission, and a dwelling house, that had in turn been the home of the Shepherds, the Judels and the Clarks. In the rear was thesomewhat imposing coral-stone building that had been the Mission's printing house, from which Bibles and hymn books nod school books hail been issued in great numbers. Not far away stood the quaint litlle adobe structure, that in the earlier years had been the school house for missionaries' children. The bindery and the printing house were the property of the American Board, and were kindly offered for the use of the new enterprise. The dwelling house belonged to Rev. E. W. Clark and was at that time occupied by Dr. L. H. (lulick, then Secretary of the Hawaiian Board. He and his noble wife had been active agents in the project now being started. In the largeness of their hearts they had taken into their home and under their care two little girls, children of Hawaiian Missionaries in the Marquesas Islands; a halfwhite, whose father was a sea captain; a halfChinese, daughter of a Honolulu Chinese merchant, and two older native girls, who were their helpers in domestic work. This wns the nucleus of the school. Bindery and printing house had long been unused as such, anel were somewhat dismal in condition. Through the thoughtful kindness of members of the Cousins' Society (the H. M. C. S.) a room in the bindery, approached by stairs on the outside of the house, was put into comfortable shape for the new teacher. At a later day when paint pots, in further attempts at improvements on the premises, were in evidence, she watched her chances when workmen were gone at close of day, to apply their brushes to the begrimeel door and windowcasings. Adjoining rooms were afterwards made ready for occupancy of ten or twelve girls. The school room was in the basement of the printing house. The flooring was partly in wood, partly in coral stones, upon which the heavy presses had stood. More or less the boards were rotten anil broken, but Ponape mats spread over them were safe guards against sprained ankles. The thick but somewhat porous walls, aforetime white washed, were stained with mould. It was not •in especially attractive place either as school room or dining room, which it had also to be for the boarders. A spacious apartment on the first story, with windows on its four sides seemed to be a general storage room for empty boxes, for rubbish and for plastering that fell from the ceiling at every firing of The salutes from the guns on Punchbowl. teacher early had her eye on bis room and a craving desire in her heart to have it put in repair and made a suitable "assembly hall." Very kindly the Hawaiian Board made a grant to carry this into effect. A elonation from friends in the States furnished means to procure desks and benches —plain, simple furniture, made in a Honolulu carpenter's shop. The second story, in course of time, came under consideration as a jdace that could bo made (if there were money to do it) a suitable dormitory for the youugcr pupils. Her,- aguin the kindness of friends came to the aid of the scheme. The Ladies' Benevolent Society in addition to paying the salary of an assistant teacher, voted the money needed for the dormitory. A trap door," reached by a permanent step-ladder, opened into a uarg nttic above this room. It offered closet facilities—a place to put. 9 trunks anel to hang clothing, but its unlightcd depths n.adc trouble. A curpcnter was consulted and would put in a dormer window for thirty dollars. The next mail from the coast brought that amount unsolicited. On the withdrawal of Dr. and Mrs. Gulick from the school, the Principal assumed the burden of paying the rent for tho Clurk house. When this came to the knowledge of Miss Atherton, sister of Hon. J. H. Atherton, she very soon set herself to the raising of funds for the purchase of the property. It was then deeded in trust to the A. B. C. F. M. Kinelncss unmeasured and favors unnumbered filled the records of those days and put the Seminary on foundations that have not failed it. It was a little acorn, planted in missionary soil, watcreel by some trials and tears, nourished by the prayers and gifts of many friends, protected and blest, we trust, by one who is our Master, even Christ. A vigorous oak, it is soon to be transplanted to the hills, to spread its branches under the sunshine, the showers and the rainbows of beautiful Manoa Valley. May the bli'ssing of the Lord I'ver rest upon it, and upon her through whose inunilicence it is to find its new home. THE BENEFIT TO THE JAPANESE OF MID-PACIFIC INSTITUTE. The question of education to meet the needs Japanese in Hawaii is causing much thought and eliscussion. We believe the problem will be solved by the Mid-Pacific Institute which will prove to be the "Silver lining to the cloud." Thirteen years ago, during my first month's work in Honolulu, I was shocked and uurprised to discover that Japanese children born in Hawaii hail no command of our language, but were using a mixture of three tongues— English, Hawaiian and Japanese. My first surprise was when I asked a young girl, "Why does not your mother come.'" In, girl replied, "Ale mamma hanahana yokonai." Of course I could not understand her, so the words we're interpreted by a friend, "My mother is too busy to come." 1 was astonished to find this to be the usual expressions of the Japanese children bom in Hawaii, and that these children could neither read, write nor speak Japanese. This thought worried and grieved me. At the earnest solicitation of the parents I decided to open 1 school in Honolulu for the instruction of our language to these young people. As the English training is most important, we were compelled to open our school two hours after the closing of the public schools. We now think that seven hours of lessons every day (five at the public, and two at the Japanese schools) is undermining the health of our children; we fear such a constant nervestrain may injure the development of the brain. We are tlerefore vrry thankful thnt this Mid-Pacific Institute will teach the languages, English and Japanese, in the regular school hours, and our children are to receive such a beneficial education. Manual training is of great importance to the children, in directing them to a useful future and in teaching them the American methods of labor. During the past ten years two hundred and seven children have entered my boarding school. Nine of them attendee! the High School. The Japanese parents are necessitated to enforce their children to take up some work for remuneration to help with the expenses inclined by thoir school life.

K. C. M. FROM THE ANNUAL MEETING. SOME GOOD THINGS FROM PBOF. 1. M. COX ON THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS AS A RELIGIOUS FORCE. It may now be fairly assumed that the American people are (irmly committed to the policy of excluding from the public schools any sectarian religious instruction. There hnve been times when it seemed that a strong and concerted movement might in places result in a elivision of the public money for education, a portion of it being diverted to sectarian schools. But the fact that in the entire history of American education such movements have uniformly failed of success seems to fairly establish tin irrevokable policy in public school education. Realising this unmistakable tendency, timid souls here and there have deplored the' increasingly liberal appropriations of money for public school education, have lamented that the schools are or must surely become godless schools, and have proposed makeshift devices to ameliorate a condition they have felt themselves powerless to remedy. Meanwhile the public school teacher, without argument or controversy, has gone stead ilv forward with his work. He has realized that the school is only one of many institutions working for the education of the child He has not sought to lesion the influence of the home, or the church, of libraries, finds him, has endeavored to utilize all that he finds of value in the child's life and ex W|hero the Influences have been perience. found to be perverted or defective the school has reached out in an effort to stimulate or counteract. The public school has broadcneel immensely within the memory of men now in middle life. While some people have been declaiming about the godlenunens of the schools, and the need of introducing direct religious teaching, the schools have been quietly adjustiii" themselvi'S f,i the situation, have set character as their highest aim, have broadened and enriched their courses for the sake of a larger ethical content, have called into service a class of men and woiimn better trained for their work, and have almost unconsciously undertaken to supply the defects of home and society. Restrictions on the giving of direct religious instruction do not appear to have worked the exclusion of religious influence. The relations of teachers •md pupils have become more cordial and sympathetic, and their daily Intercourse is on ■t much higher plane, as regards friendly CO operation and sympathetic helpfulness. Home ■md school have come into closer harmony. Even those who had been accustomed le teach in denominational schools ami who bid taken up public school work willi some mis dyings, have testified Hint they have f in practice that they are not hampered in giv ing the ethical nnd religions culture the child's development demands. The mind the child is the mind of i.riinitive man an It finds no ?rasps truths ill Hie elements. room for hair-splitting oiscriniiiiations or fine spun dogmas. In prohibiting sectarian re ligions instruction in public schools the lawhas but put a legal sanction on a pedagogic principle that had already become the prao lice of the best educators. The law, psychology, and the best print ice of teaching seem to concur in the doctrine that the school should avoid matters of controversy and confine their teaching to those broad truths ot ethics and religion that meet with the general acceptance of men. And surely this is no narrowly circumscribed field of effort. To teach children to le kind, punctual, industrious, persevering, cleanly, honest, truthful, loyal. obedient, is worthy of Hie best effort of the school, the dhiircb. and the home.

There is wealth of material for ethical culture of the child in the fairy tales nsed in school, particularly in such tales as the fiermnns call Marchen, tales that have been used in the education of children generation after generation until the superfluous snd the objectionable have been well nigh eliminated. ~ Scriptures are excluded there remains much other literature that breathes the very spirit of th(! Hible. With the poets and orators of a vast literature furnishing an atmosphere of spiritual uplift our teachers do not complain of lack of material for an appeal to the spiritual side of the child's nature. And it is possible to find compensations in these very restrictions. It is often of advantage to teachers and others to be compelled to get out of the ruts. The usual appeals sometimes I,e,'nine hackneyed. Let him who would teach the lessons of truth and 'ovalty ami obedience, and who feels that he can no longer witli propriety take "Thou Unit not bear false witness' for his text, or appeal to the story of Ananias and Sapphira. let him once try reading from the Idylls of the King the store of the casting away of the sword and let him note the effect when he comes to that rebuke of King Arthur be ginning with the line, "This is a shameful thing for men to lie." The newness of I In' approach will count for much and the re soiirceful teacher will find a thousand and one unlooked for ways of getting lit a point. In a word, just so long us religion main tains a close relation with right living I venture the belief that there is very little in vital Christianity that may not rightly bo taught and practiced in the public schools. GLEANINGS FROM PRESIDENT A. F. GRIFFITH'S ADDRESS, NEW METHODS IN THE SUNDAY SCHOOLS. The subject of this paper suggests that tihero may be something the matter with the obi method* in the Sunday school. 1 believe tlhat 1 can say that there are radical defects without appearing to be a fault-finder or a pessimist. The most sanguine of ns are not satisfied with the results of the work of the Sunday Schools in either of their great purposes: (1) mentions), in teaching ami studying the H Hible; (L 1) the religious, in the conversion of men to Christianity. We want still better results than we are getting. Our secular schools and colleges are complaining of the lack of knowledge of the Bible ■hewn by the young people. Not long ago we gave a set of simple questions to the students Of Oahu College. I looked over the papers of the two upper classes which contain boys and girls about seventeen or eighteen years i»f age who came from Sunday schools all Over the Islands and from churches of vari- ous denominations. It has to be admitted that there was much lack of knowledge, not to say ignorance. Paul was quite generally made a disciple; David wore the coat of many colors, wrote the Songs of Solomon, was cast in the den of lions, and was also one of the twelve apostles. The things which were left unsaid and which showed unfathomable depths were perhaps the saddest part of it all. This condition of affairs is not, of course, confined to our children alone. Regretfully it is fairly general. The three things which will most surely and most completely effect a change are a teaching ministry and a curriculum of study which will be intelligently planned to better meet the needs of our Sunday schools which have students from the infant class to the aged, �THE FRIEND and a consecrated body of teachers, trained by the pastor, who will wisely teach !iich a course of study. 1. The Teaching Minister. If a church is large enough to employ two ministers, it is ideal if she call have a preacher and a teacher. If she call afford only one minister, his work in teaching should be just as important as his work in preaching and caring for bis flock. In particular the pastors should realize and assume the responsibility of seeing that the Bible is taught by properly trained pi'rsoiiH. lie must become a teacher of the teachers, leader ill Biblical interpretation and in si met ion. a QRADED itiri.-SE ol' STUDY, One of the crying needs of all Bible school! is a comprehensive and adequate course of si inly. The preparation of such a course is the work of experts. It should be planned with a view to bringing out the interest and to appealing to the intellect of the pupil at all stages in his development. It should meet his religious needs. It should be founded on the Bible, but other mutter should 1 c included. The revelations of Cod wherever they appear should have u place. Biography and geography, literature and science should contribute. The present fragments should be replaced with a course which has progression and interrelation, Everything should be brought to be-ar in the illustration of vital truth. THE TRAINED TEACHER. Tin- teacher is the essential factor of this scheme. It is not enough that we have consecrated teachers; we must have ennsecrated and trained teachers. Consecration, education and pedagogical training in the teachers wi almost make a school. OTHER NEEDS AND CHANGES. central idea worked out for the year. The pastor of the church is or should be the mov teaching. The spirit of her work and the atmosphere created by the way that the work is earrieel forward are important factors in establishing a proper religious basis. 7. Of all the snuin problems, which vex the soul of the Sunday school teacher, none worries more and seems less near a solution than the one of getting the pupil to study his lesson. (a) An appeal to duty on the part of some teachers to some pupils is sometimes enough. (b) The only sure way is to arouse interest not in the teaching of the lesson, not in the class, not in the school, but in the lesson itself. Clubs, class picnics, debates, sports may arouse n class pride, but these are means to the great end of a studious interest in the Bible. Amusing the class by stories or any resource makes the person in charge an entertainer and not a teacher. Plain pedagogy suggests that establishing some common ground between the pupil an,, the lesson is a first requisite. A skilful teacher will not be long in finding it but, i it cannot be found, it must be made. The lesson should be imbued with life by giving it an historical and geographical setting. An abstract lesson lacks interest; it must be concrete. If a parallel can be made between some event ill history with which the class is familiar or in their own lives, it will serve .1 good purpose. A certain delinite amount of study should be required. M. Most of our churches are poorly adapted to effective Sunday school work. Wo cannot easily change thiin; we call only plan for the future to pay more attention to the Sunday school room even if we bnve to leave off thl steeple. The church should have a specially planned room adapted to its size and lie,',ls. Thinking church people are convinced that Hible schools organized on some such lines as these are now an educational necessity. The church has no greater duty than to make sure that its Bible school by effective Organization, right methods and adequate equipment shall be prepared to do its part in th location and redemption of f hose who are soon to be the support of Christ's chinch on earth. In addition to these three prime needs, there are many other conditions which need remedying or changing; there lire new methods which may be applied; new idea? which may be introduced; reul ,lungers which must be avoided, and certain accomplishments which must be worked for and hoped A FEW HITS MADE BY PRESIDENT P.

He need not and except in rare instances, ought not to be the Superintendent of the Sunday school. A layman is better, but the Superintendent must know the pastor's plan and must carry it out. The teachers of the Sunday school must be another factor in the work. They cannot teach the pastor's ideal if they do not know it. Their training will depend largely upon the pastor's ri'iili/.ation of his own responsibility. The Sunday school needs to be carefully divided, a definite program for a year established, and the work of each Sunday carefully defined at least a year in advance. Suppose then that we divide the Sunday school into eight regular grades according to the ages of the members, adopting so far as possible the public school divisions. The following divisions suggest themselves: birth to 3 yearn 1.—Craillc Koll 2.—Tho Primary Class 3 to 6 3.—Tho Intermediate Class 6 to 8 (! 4.—The ram mar Class 8 to 12 5.—The Junior Class 12 to Hi 6.—The Senior Class 16 to 21 7.—The Adult Class 21 8.—The Home Class. Of course this division ennnot be arbitrary. They must overlap. Let DM take them briei one by one. The Cradle ReU. These little tots should be enrolled at birth and the mother given their certificate oi membership. Their names can be placed in the Cradle Roll Register, which might hang in the Primary room. A Church Album might contain the pictures of these little pen pie. Sometimes this would be a most vula able book in the library. A social for these title folks and their par ents should be given annually. On their birthdays, the Superintendent should send a letter to the mother and a card to the child. The Primary Class. This class should meet in its own room specially furnished with Kindergarten equip incut. Kindergarten methods should bo adopted. Two important agencies can be usi'cl in this grade memory and imagination. The chilel learns easily to commit nnd even though his understanding is limited, he can learn the Commandments, the Lord's Prayer. short texts, the 23d Psalm, and some simple hymns; all of tlieui should be explained for the child to understand. Little texts can be given ou little cards as, Be merciful, God is love, A !oft answer turneth away wrath, Bo patient, Jesus loves me. The most important of all are Bible stories told simply as a definite plan. A regular outline of stories from Adam to John's vision in Revelation should be made and certain stories fixed for each Sunday and the order kept. Little children will require very little material besides. The dramatic quality is emphasized. The stories will carry their moral lessons just as truly as the bent nursery tales. The Intermediate Class. This grade too should have a separate room or if not possible might divide a room with the Grammar grade. But each should meet around a separate table. This grade would amplify the work of the preceding division. Additional passages and hymns should be learned. The books of the Bible should be learned in order and the pupils instructed bow to find references. �THE FRIEND 12 Then the Bible story telling should be an important part. The same general plans aa in the former grade, but the stories amplified many more added and the pupil encourage! to tell the- stories to the class. Note books might well be kept. The teacher could give simple questions for home study. The answers should be put in the note books and corrected by the teaehe'r. Pictures selected by the pupil from tlio Perry, Wilde or Brown collections could be pusted in the note book to illustrate the lessons. The Grammar Grade. The note book feature' should be continued ill this grade and developed. These note books should be reviewed quarterly, and graded. The picture feature slioulel be greatly developed also. Additional story telling, stress now being made less on the plot but more to iis adaptation to daily life. 11l this grade the study of heroes may well be taken up. The study of Abraham, Jacob, Moses, David, Ahab, Elijah, Neliemiah, Jesus. Paul, Peter, will be the study of the history of biblical limes. Heroes always best illustrate their times. The Junior and Senior Departments. These two depart incuts should meet in the' main room. The opening service should be short but made a very important feature. Suppose live different subjects be taken: The Church Creed, The Ten Commandments, The Lord's Prayer, The L'ilrd Psalm, and The Beatitudes. Let one be recited each Sunday by all in the room. This would make it possible to have each subject ten times during the year. Then let the Superintendent or the pastor take five minutes, not more, to explain a tenth of the selection recited. By the end of the year e'lich of the five would have been carefully considered and the school have n conception of the whole, impossible to begot in other ways. The conversation method may be developed. The Juniors mid Seniors may be questioned extempore. 'I his can be made very attractive ami Instructive. But this method must be used with care. Every tendency towards coming to the Sunday school without preparing the lessons, trusting to extempore questions must be speedily checked. If not, the lessons will lend to develop into desultory talks. These two grades are in ninny ways tin most important of all. They are the classes that are usually the smallest. The younger pupils of the Sunday school come because they are told. They often (ears to love to go. But these upper grades do not, as a class, have to go. Some do, but more do not. They are at the age of greatest unrest, the eritica age. For boys of this age, a man is needed.

This association has been formed with re- markably clear and carefully prepared papers by the ablest educators of the Territory. We have all listened with keen interest to their suggestions for developing the Sunday school. The excellent ailvice that has been given must necessarily largely apply to city Hunday schools or to rather thickly settled rural districts, and especially where the church can obtain many ellicient weirkcrs. The majority of our Sunday schools in this Territory have an inadequate supply of teachers, and ofte ly a single room in which to hold classes. The ri'sult is that there are usually only two classes in each school—one for adults and one for children. Under such conditions how enn we do more effective serried I should like to give three simple, prac- tical rules which, if followed, will improve our Sunday schools remarkably. should our Christian children bo taught to give systematically through the Sunday school, to which is entrusted so much of the religions training of the modern child.

I am now nine days at sea from Boston, on my way to attend the World's Fifth Sunday School Convention to be held in Rome, Italy, May iBth-23rd. We have chartered this large steamer to carry this load of delegates to Rome. We have 325 delegates on board this vessel. There is another ship—the S. S. "Neckar"—which is taking a load of eklegates, starting from New York. On this latter vessel is Mrs. E. B. Waterhouse and her four daughters, all bound for the Rome Convention. MrsWaterhouse is one of our most devoted Island Sunday School workers. I am already having a feast of good things on board this ship. We have with us the foremost Sunday School workers in America and in Canada. Every day we have' two or three sessions. It is not only doing me much good but people are asking me many questions about the Islands. It is bound to result beneficially to our Sunday School work. I have already put in an application for some Sunday School material which will be on exhibition in Rome. It is my elesire to have an exhibit which ban be taken all over the Islands, to show what is being done in the Sunday School world of today. I hope to return to Honolulu in July or August.

What a glorious time they must have had before the missionary looked after them! War was profitable to them, as their services were then very much required. Let me give you a short account of how war was managed down on Pleasant Island or Nauru. After war had been declared the first step was to offer sacrifices to the spirits of the tlepartcd members of the family and to the innumerable gods of war. Tabuarik was the name of the principal god of war while Tamamak, Kabwinan, Awiricria, Tagaburoro and the two female gods, E Roduwabin and E Dowen c, were his associates. Each district of the contending parties would select one of these gods to be theirs for the particular war which was about to commence. Sacrifices in the form of the heart of a young cocoanut tree or a bunch of young nuts would be offered to him at once. Often the fruit of the pandanus with leaves attached to it, tobacco (for seemingly Tabuarik did not object to a good smoke of "Niggerhead tobacco"), pork and fish would be offered also. If Tabuarik or any of the gods were well feasted by the people of the district, he would come down with thunder, lightning and wind to| assist his friends. Lightning would I opposing party.

If they movcel (which often was done by an ingenious contrivance) it was a sign that the chief of their opponents would be killed in the- coming struggle, anel it woulel thus be easy tei overCOtne the enemy. If the people of a district decided to go into battle, a number of heathen priests would acceimpany them, keeping themselves, however, in the rear of the common people. This was very wise of them, as a stray spear (or in mi irr recent years a bullet) might hit them. When the contending "armies" were A in slight ni' each other tiring began. striking feature was that not many warriors got bit, or else the island would have been very cjnickly depopulated after the introiltiction of firearms. The amen mweacos, standing behind the lighting "armies," pretended to catch all bullets with small mats which they were holding up. If anyone dared to stand behind them, he was sure to die, as the priests had power only to protect those before them. The old style of fighting was somewhat different from the modern warfare. Three days' notice would be given before actual hostilities commenced. Ten of the strongest men in the respective districts were selected by each of the warring parties. These men put an Ekabina" (armor) on to protect themselves. This armor was made out of cocoanut fibre. Their only weapon was an "Eragow," a sort of a long and very heavy spear made from cocoanut wood. Each fighter was attended by about ten other men who were armed with shorter spears called "Ekado" or "Ewere." These men wore a somewhat inferior armor. When a certain number of the strong men had succumbed, their friends would give up the fight, considering themselves vanquished. Women who were in a certain delicate condition were not permitted near the battlefield. The warriors had to abstain from eating fish as long as the war lasted. It was considered important to shoot as many women and children of the enemy as possible to prevent his increase. (To be Continued.) Hawaii Cousins A most interesting meeting of the Hawaiian Mission Children's Society was held at the hospitable home of Mrs. A. Francis Jiultl em June ist, at which a charter for the Society was aeloptcd. Papers of reminiscence were read by Dr. W. D. Alexander, W. O. Smith and Mrs. C. M. Cooke. The latter was written by dear Mother Rice in her ninety-seconel year. All were exceedingly interesting and will be published. The remaining papers were postponed till another meeting. The music too was a rare treat; a trio on violin, piano anel cello, and a fine tenor solo by Philip Hall. A large company of Cousins with many welcome guests were present.
