The Maui News wishes its readers a MerryChristmas and a Happy New Year.

A Mistaken We have Mivestigatod tho mutter referred to in

Position. the recommendation of the County Snperinten- -

dout of Road in his last report nnd tind that s. far its the matterof picks arc concerned he seems to ho mistaken.

That it costs more to picks here m new ones would costis true but that is just what is the case in any mining camp in

America.Persons in no way connected Vith either of the parties interest-

ed in the controversy but who have hud many years experience in

mining say that a pick that is properly steeled is worth far morothan any pick that can be bought in tie stores even if the bestDicks on the market are bought and thai it is tho custom in themines to buy eyes and have them steeled by a blacksmith at r

tost than the purchase price.If the county can do its smflhing at a loss cost, tnan it is pitting

now it should do so even if it had to go to the expense of buyingan outfit to do the work. We are satistied however that the charg-

es in the past for work done by blacksmiths of the county havenot been excessive and that the conclusions naturally drawnreading tho report of the County Superintendent of Roads havedone the blacksmiths a wrong while not so intended by the supet-intenden- t.

As for the sensational article appearing in a recent issue of theBulletin, entitled "Wilson Stirs Up Maui Men," we feel that thearticle was ill ad vised for the reason that if any one is jruilty ofgrafting at the expense of the county he should be prosecuted. Ifthere has been no grafting, which in this case we believe there hasnot been, nothing but harm can come from the use of expressionsthat would leave almost an' one to believe it was the intention of

the writer to convey the idea than there was some crooked work inconnection with the same.

As for the summary dismissal of road overseer Somtnerfeld asrecommended by County Superintendent of roads we would advisegoing slow in the matter. We see no reason why a better under-standing cannot be reached.

The statement of Supervisor Kaiue to the board at its last meet-ing that he was not infavor of dismissing any official for disobeyingorders from a superior ollicer where such orders were receivedthrough a subordinate was the right position to lake and raisedKaiue in the estimation of those who believe in fair pliy.

In all fairness to the position taken by Mr. Wilson we believethat any employee who is found hx!ow the standard should be re-

placed by a more competent person but haste should be avoided.

FADS.

The following paper was read by C.

E. Copeland Principal of the WailukuPublic school at the Maui TeachersAssociation held at Wailuku, Decem-

ber 20, 1907.What is a "fad '? Webster savs a

fad is a freak, a whim or a hobby. Ineducation, then, the term fad would

mean some comparatively trifling,fanciful or unimportant subject of

instruction; or, some cmpMcal or ar-

bitrary method of teaching. Morebroadly speaking, a fad might be de-

fined as a subject or method foreignto the generally accepted scope andpurpose of the grade of school workunder discussion.

To decide whether or not a giventopic or method is a fad, is to openthe whole question as to the nature,methods, purposes and objects of

education in general. Moreover, itis conceivable that a topic or methodin the hands of one teacher might bethe most extreme of fads, while in

the hands of another, it might har-monize completely with a conservalive and thorough system of instruction. So much depends upon theskill and personality of the teacher,and so little upon the efficacy of anymethod, that it is very difficult torope and brand a fad. Again, whatmight be clearly a fad in a lowergrade, might be perfectly legitimatein a higher one. Or, what might bea fad in a country school might helegitimate in the city. .Furthermore,the fad of to.dav may become thestandard of to morrow.

In common schools, the variousbranches of nature study, manualtraining, music, drawing, school cityor other plans forcooking, weaving, basket-making- ,

&c, have all been' called fads. Uponthese topics I shall not dwell. Theyall have their appropriate place in alegitimate scheme of instruction, endcan properly be called fads only wheu

prematurely or unskillfu'.ly used.Fads in the methods of teaching

are usually much more seiious in

their effects than fads in the subjectmatter of instruction. They are alsomore difficult to get rid of, or to dis-

credit, since the fallacies upon whichthey arejased are usually subtle andplausible. Most fad methods, elso,appeal strongly to a class of teacherswho are content to follow the line ofleast resistance in their work, andwho find it easier to apply a ready-ma- de

method than to work out onefor themselves. The only test as tothe validity of a method is to ex amineits results. The cheaper educationaljournals are full of "nlans" and'methods" for doing this, that or the

other thing. They serfre to fill thepages of the papers, but accomplishno other purpose. The royal road tolearning is yet to be discovered.Modern invention has contrived noway of escape from the labor of learn-ing. Any method for which itfe advo-cates claim extraordinary results in

education should be regarded withsuspicion. We must inquire aboutthe results. In the language of thestreet, ''Does it deliver the goods?"

- If it does, it is legitimate; if it doesnot, it is a fad.

I propose to examine three of thesemethod-fads- , which have had a greatvogue in the schools of Hawaii, andwhich, judged by their results, haveproven themselves conspicuous failures. I refer to the plan of teaching without books, to the word-met!- )

od of teaching reading, and to thefive-ste- method in reading, geography, nature-study- , Ac.

The use of these fads in Hawaiiwas greatly encouraged and promoted by the visit aud lectures of Colonel

Parker, a nan of great personallorce and individuality. He had suc-

ceeded to a remarkable degree in

stirring up teachers all over theUnited States, and awakening themto a deeper sense of their opportuni-ties. He himself could probably haveused almost any method with success,but he apparently supposed tnat hisown mental processes and points ofview were those of the child. ' Hetalked as if he believed that the samegeneral plan of instruction which lieused in teaching adults in his normalschool would be equally efficient in

primary teaching. "Don't teachbooks," said Parker; "teach things.Let nature be your guide. Let yourchildren learn as naturally and asspontaneously as the young robins,or the baby on its mother's knee.Dou't worry over technicalities, butdevote your attention to essentials,&c;" Very beautiful talk to listento, and also very profitable to Colo

eel Parker. Uufortuuately, the

TH MAUI-NEW- S

Colonel's exhortations were acceptedhere, literally in ilieir most extremesense, and were made t tie authorityfor the fads I have mentioned.

And first, as to teaching withoutbooks. Seven years ago I attendeda meeting of this association, atwhich for the first time, 1 heard thisdoctrine advanced A leading feature of this meeting was a debate on

the ques'irn: "Kesol ed, That Reading can bu taught better with booksthan without them." The leader of

the affirmative side begun his speechby saying that lie was thoroughlyopposed to the use of text-book- ",

and debated in favor of them only

for argument's sake, vor his parthe was convinced that books had noplace in a well regulated ' school.Hooks are dry, dead, artificial,stupufying things at be.-,- t. Thescriptural udac, "The letter killeth,but the spirit makcth alive," is

directly applicable to school work.Out of his own treasures of wisdom

the teacher is amply competent tofind, select and arrange all materialsnecessary for practice nnd informa-tion; And, in addition, can impart tothem a life and interest which booksnever can give. Ileal education re-

ntes to things, not to books; and no-

body, except pedagogues far gone inthe d.itage of second childhoodwoulcithink of trying to impart, an educa-tion from or by means of hooks. Thereal, wideawake, up-t- date teachergoes direct, to nature, to life andbusiness for his material, and thenputs it into vital and interestingform cm the blackboard for his pupils.This was about the line of argumentadduced in favor of the fad. Iti wasquite useless to argue that readingin any adequate sense is learned bylong and abundant practice in reading; and that proper materials forsuch practice are available in bonksonly. The argument that no teacher,vhatever,h.s qualifications, has thetime, skill or opportunity to prepareand present as good a collection ,ofmaterial as may be found in even theworst of our text books, was laughedto scorn. In vain was it pointed outthat to teach reading without suitable printed matter for study, re-

view a id practice is just as irratioi.alas to teach swimming in the sands ofSahara, or piano playing on the edgeof the kitchen table. In either casfthe motions may be gone throughwith, but no results worth while willever be obtained.

I feel that T am justified in relitingthe following incident, which appliesforcibly to 'he subject of discussion,since the principals of the school referred to are no longer engaged in

teaching: A board of registration,in the dischaige of its duties, held ameeting on the premises of a schoolwhose principals for several yea mm

had been zealous advocates of theno book fad. A number of yountmen presented themselves for registry as voters, but could not read orwrite sufficiently well to enable themto qualify. Surprised at their ignoranee, a member of the board asked:

"How is it Uiat you young iimmi

cannot read?""VVe do not know why." '

"Have you never gone to schnof?""Yes, we went to school.""Where?""Here at this school.""How long?""From six to fifteen.""You have . not forgotten your

books, have you?""We know nothing of books; we

never had any "

This, then, is the full and perfectfruit of the no book fad. Young men,compelled by law to attend a publicschool for seven or eight years,grown up to manhood, are debarredfrom th privileges of citizenship,never hiving learned to read. It isgratifying to me to be able to saythat tiiis, one of the most mischievousand senseless fads that ever infestedthe schools of Hawaii, is decidedly onthe wane, and that the course ofstudy now prescribes readers for usein the schools.

The word method of teaching readir-- is a reaction from the old A 13 C

method of our grandfathers. By theABC method the child first thoroughIv learned to name aud recognizeall the letters of the alphabet, andlien was tiiught to use those letters

in the building of words. A practical, though quite unintentional drillin phonics generally resulted fromthis process; so that after a year ortwo of A 15 C work, as it was called,the child was usually able to makesubstantial progress in the recognilion and pronunciation of words.Oral drill in spelling was a favoriteexercise in ioniiccti.ni with this

method; and there is no denying thatthe results obtained were substantial, although slow at first. Hutfifter a while it was discovered thatthe child can learn a small word bv

its form just as readily as a letter,and that lie may be reading fluentlyin less time than is usually requiredto learn the alphabet atone. Skillfulteaches at once availed themselvesof this fact to make the lessons moreinteresting and profitable to beginiie'-s-

, hut were cartful to teach thealphabet and He powers togetherwith the words learned. When thepupil had learned the alphabet andmastered lis phonic value tie wasable to pronounce simple words atsight, regardless .of their niean'ng,and the word-meth- od was no longeruseful to him. I have always beensomewhat in doubt a to the exactvalue of the gain made by the use ofthe word method, even when employed by judicious and intelligent teach'ers. There seems to be no question,however, that its use ought to lieconfined entirely to the first vear ofschool.

Wher. the word-meth- od began toattract attention, the faddists,always on the lookout for some ick

scheme in education, tookit up nnd pushed it entirely hev.ond-it- s

legitimate use. If a little of itwas a good thing, they argued, morewould be better. If children couldbegin learning words by this method,they could keep on learning them.These extremists entii ely lost sightof the fundaments! fact that ourwritten language is essentially alphabetic and phonetic. The alphabet,defective and redundant though itbe, is yet, for those who know it. asufficient key to the pronunciation ofmost English words. Moreover,correct spelling, which of late yearsbids fn'r to become a lost art, ispossible only to those who know thenames, sounds and uses of the letters.The proper division of words intosyllables, so important to the writer,is utterly incomprehensible to pupilstaught by the woi d niethol. To sucha pupil, the dictionary, with all itsuses, is a sealed bonk, to which hehas no key. A story in dialect wouldbe, to such a pupil, as meaninglessas though written in a foreigntongue. In short, to a pupil taughtonly or largely by the word-mo- th

od, the language is ideographic, likethe Chinese, in which the form of theword affords not the slightest clueto pronunciation.

The word-metho- d, as ordinarilyused, and with average pupils, commonly results in the confusion ofwords similar in form. "It," "isand "in" are often mistaken one forthe other. Likewise, "was" and"saw"; 'left" and "felt"; "of" and"for"; besides others too numerousto mention. Ss far a my observation has gone, not one pupil in ten,taught by the word-metho- d, is ableto read even the little words witiany reasonable degree of accuracy.Consequently, since the meaning ofthe sentence so largely depends uponnil- - iii lie wiirus -- uiu worus oi reiation, transition and connection thefailure to recognize these little wordsResults in very incomplete coin prehension of the thought

More than any other one. thing, theword method wastes the teacher'stime. The pupils, having no clue tothe pronunciation of new words, mustask the teacher to pronounce forthem. This is an endless task, andone that grows heavier as the classesadvance and the new words becomemore numerous. Even though perfectlv familiar with the spoken word,pupils fail o recognize it in the printI'd form unless it lias been specificallytaught. Again, the use of the word-metho- d

is largely responsible for thevague, indistinct and incorrect written work so often seen in our schoolsWhile the written form as a wholemay resemble the word it was intend-ed to represent, yet the letters areoften incomplete or incorrectly formed. Thus we see that the word laethod, when employed as the 'chiefmeans of teaching reading, producestwo se: ious evils. Word method pupilscan neither read correctly nor writecorrectly such words as they may beable to read. Hut there is a thirdevil more serious iu practice thanthese two. A pupil taught only bythe word method k;iows how to readonly the words he ha been specifi-cally taught. Words which he hasnot been taught are utterly beyoi dhis reach. When lie attempts toreed matter containing words towhich his attention has not been pre-viously directi d, lie tbsolutely fails,Nor can he resort to tiui dictionaryfor aid, for, as J have just meutioiiel,

the dictionary is as useless to him asa silk hat to a gorilla. In all practical and essential respects, the wordmethod as a means of instruction, isa total and in qualified failure, exceptin the first year of school. Yet, inspite of all'these facts, which a com-

petent and well informed educatorc.-- scarcely avoid knowing, thismethod still finds advocates. I naveheard a very prominent and influen-tial educator of the Territory contendst. enuotisly that, it was the only proper method to be employed in themechanical port of reading, and thatif lie had his way no pupil should evegknow that there was such a thing asa letter. Fori unai ely, however ih

practice this fad eventually breaksdown of its own weight. Pupils generally find out for theinse've some ofthe powers and tixes of the alphabet,and are thus in a measure saved fromI 'ie logical and inevitable consequences of this method where carried outto its limit. I hope that the intelligence and good sense of our teacherswill soon relegate the word methodto the educational scrap heap 'alongwith the no book lad and other suchrubbish.

The word method is an exotic, inHawaii,-havin- been imported hitherfrom the mainland. I now proceed toti e consideration of a fad that isnutive to the soil. The glory of itsdiscovery and application belongs tHawaii alone. If we are to trust, tothe enthusiasm of some of our Island"UtiOiiorsou this subject, t he heavensand the earth are destined to passaway, but. the five step method shallnot puss away. Pot so conspicuousand loudly-praise- a process the fivestep method is singularly indefiniteand elusive. I have for so ne timeci deavored to obtain a clear andsi raigu ciorwaru statement as towhat it really is; but so far I havebeen unable to do so. One of its mo-i- t

at dent advocates, ii Normal Inspector, in one of his reports to th Superintendent, affirmed that it was "really no method at all " So it happensthat I am unable to inform this Association just what the live step method is, iu the minds of those who areresponsible for its use. I am able,however, to show m a general wayhow it works out in practice which,after all, is the essential thing toknow. The proof of the pudding isin the eating,, not the chewing of therag in which it was boiled

In application the five step methodis something as follows:

f. The teacher reads or tells thelesson or story 2. The teacherwrites on the board, pronounces andgives the meanings of the new words.3. The teacher then asks questionsusually leading questions about thestory. 4. Pupils then express theiridi as of the story or lesson by telling,acting or drawing 5. Pupils thenread the lesson from the book orboard, as the case may be. Thismethod admits of many variations inits application to different classesand subjects, but its principle remams the same. I he teacher is todo the work, and the pupil is to reproduce the work which the teacherhiis done. There is no question butthat this method, especially in cont.ection with the use of the word-met-

0.1, and where there are no booksused, will yield apparently astonishmg resul's in a very short time. Itis a method which is especially adapted to purposes of demonstration andexiiiDition. i oo not know of anyother plan which will show off a classto auch advantage. It resembles theword method in that it has a certainleg'tiinate use, which is restrictedalmost entirely to the first schoolyear. Like the word-metho- also,when applied outside of its properliijiit, it becomes most injurious andiurlful.

Tiie reasons for this are self evident.Pupils learn to read by reading notby being read to. Power is attainedby doing, not by seeing or bearinjjothers do. Friiifi,! thoughts comefrom the ciT rts of the thinker andnot from the speech of the 'teacher.Sim e the five-ste- method seeks toimpart knowledge from withojt,ruther than to de.elop powers ofapprehension from within, it is diame-trically opposed to the fundamentalprinciples of pedagogics. No betterinetnod of training parrots could pro-bably be devised, nor a poorer wayof developing the minds and facultiesnt children. We may accept it as anaxiom iu education, that the teachershould do as little, and the pupil asim.eii of the lesson as possible. Thepup:! should get the thought of alesso i by his own study of the printedpage and not from the spoken wordof liia instructor. The pupil's owu

My experience of ten, years as ateacher in the Hawaiian Islands hasuot convinced me that our pupils, asa rule, are either stupid or incapable.Nor do I think that our teachers lackenergy or enthusiasm. But, I readin our Superintendent's last reportto the Governor that more than fiftyper cent, of all our pupils rank belowthe second grade; nearly seventy percent, below the third, and over eightyper cent, below the fourth. Countingthe high, normal and Lnhainalunaschool all i.i, only eleven per cent, of

our pupils ever get out of the primarygrades. What is the reason for thisstate of affairs?

The legislature gives liberally of

the Territorial revenues for schoolpurposes; the Department of Educa-tion provides the teachers' with suit-

able supplies and facilities for theirwork, the compulsory school lawcompels tl:e regular attendance ofthe pupil. And, I have never seenteachers work harder than In theschools of Hawaii. Why thn thislask of results? Why then this piti-

ful eleven per cent, of pupils whoueepd in pseapins; from t n'-m-

Grades? . Why the eiirht per'cent, whofi'il io acquire ai ,y usefulor etfeein-- edu 'ation?' 't'iie chiefreft son vVhie lo th naked i ye is theprevalence of these fads lei trio ofefficient causes of inefficiency theno bonk fad; the word-metho- d fad;and, last but not least, the live-ste- p

STEAM LAUNDRY TO START.

The Maui Steam laundry willbe ready for business about the firstof January and persons who haveheretofore been compelled to sendtheir laundry to Honolulu at greatexpense and loss of time or havethe same done in some filthyChinese joint may have tho samedone on Maui.

This week Mr. E. C. Hanneywho has worked all his life in alaundry and tlwroughly under-stands every part of the businessarrived on Maui and has takencharge as the manager of the nowconcern.

Mr. Hanney comes highly re-

commended. His father has beenfor, many years the manager of asteam laundry at Hiawatha Kan-

sas and it was with him that themanager of the Maui Steam Laundry learned the business.'

A steam laundry is badly neededon Maui and the public should on;courage the same by their patro-nage.
