INVESTIGATION NEEDED.
A School Teacher who Said He Hated
the Flag.

A School Teacher Who Said He Hated
the Flag.
Are there teachers in the city schools
who openly. before their pupils, declare
they hate the American flag? This
question ia suggested by an incident
that occurred yesterday. A pupil who
attends one of the city schools went
home and reported to her parents &C
follows:
The pupils were rehesrsing for the
exercises to be held today in honor OF
Washlngton's birthday. On being told
to salute the flag one OF the pupils re-
fused and said, II hate the flag" The
teacher heard the remark and promptly
said, $50 do l."
The father of the pupil who reported
this remark of the teacher at once
called upon well-known citizen and
related what his daughter had said.
This gentleman went with the father to
Mr.. Brown, superintendent of city
schools, and told the story to him. Mr..
Brown said he would investigate the
matter and take such action az the facts
would warrant.
Ii there be any teachers in the public
schools who through ignorance or dis
LOYALTY so far forget their duty as to ex.
press hatred OF the flag of the country,
they cannot be got rid OF an hour too
soon. The schools should teach loyalty
as we'll as impart instruction in other
matters.

THE HAWAIIAN QUESTION
Ably Discussed Last Night by cx-Gov.
sheldon.

Ably discussed Last Night by cx-Gov.
sheldon.
The First Presby terrain church was
crowded last night, the occasion being
the regular course in the Broadway
club. Ex-Gov. Lionel Sheldon lectured
upon Hawaii, in four phases, snnexs-
ton. protectorate, restoration of the
queen and provisional government.
He handled the subject in character
ietic style and presented the matter in
an original way. His views were well
received and he was frequently inter-
rupted by applause.
The annexation of the islands was
first treated, after which be talked of
the protectorate.
Liliuokalani, the queen, had no legal
right to the throne either by succession
or anything else. Her rights were
merely those of squatter, and when q
squatter is put out there is no known
law to get him back. If man enters
your house and in ejecting him you
knock him into the street, it does not
give him the right to re-enter the house
because you have assaulted him.
Even if the queen was put out it does
not follow that che should be allowed
to 90 back, for the reason that she has
no right there. He did not believe in
annexation and objected to a Kanaka
queen ruling over the intelligent and
Christian people OF that country. He
closed with patriotic sentiment about
the old flag, and which was warmly re-
ceiyed by his audience,

SAN FERNANDO VALLEY.


A Prosperous Region Well Under Culti-
walton.
In recent trip around the San Fer
nando valley. some features appeared
that struck a HERALD representative in
new light. That portion that has been
taken to be desert proved upon closer
inspection to be quite fertile. Taking
the northeastern part of the valley, from
the great Tejunga wash to Burbank. the
vicinity OF the foothills is all occupied
with young orchards and vineyards.
Major Isaac Kinley has 80 acres Just
at the point where the main wash comes
in. with excellent water at sixty feet.
His peach and orange trees are just
coming into bearing, aud the quality of
the fruit cannot be excelled.
Next down the valley is the place of
Dillon & Kennedy. vino have over 200
acres in orchard and vineyard. The
school house 10 at their place. The soil
is OF the beet as must be the case where
sulphate of lime abounds. This constit-
uent with the other lime stones and the
humus and iron make foundation OF
fertility almost iuexhaustible.
The next place lie that OF the Chand-
lers-father and sons-who have several
hundred acres, some very thrifty orange
trees and variety OF other fruits. l
noticed that the oranges we're sweeter
than those raised where water is plenty.
This water question is one that troubles
them somewhat in this vicinity, but
it need not. The mountains and caflons
are full OF the best OF water and the way
TO husband it is to terrace the hillsides
scientifically. That is construct terraces
lowest on the back from Z to feet wide
with fall of from three .eighths to three
sixteenths OF an inch fall to the rod.
This will compel the surplus water to
soak in or find its way on to the dry
parts where most needed.
