ART IN THE SCHOOL.

a new and important feature of the
/ League is to be found in the space de-
voted to the system of drawing which
this year has been introduced into the
public schools. This is not the work of
the pupils, but a brief outline of the
upper grade work upon which they
have started
The purpose of the League is to slim
ulate and encourage art in Hawaii, and
no better support can it have than the
interest of the young and the cO-opera-
ton of those engaged in teaching them.
Each will supplement and assist the
other.
There is shown at this time brief
survey of what Miss Beckwith is ac-
complishing with the young pupils OF
the city schools, under the encourage
ment of the Board of Education. 1t
comprises the simple forms of paper
cutting, the grades of applied decora-
ton, perspective, mechanical, crayOn
and water color WORK. Inc Bodru Oh
Education and the public are to be con-
graduated that this branch of educa-
ton has been so successfully inaugu-
rated
We may look for further evidences of
progress at future exhibitions, and if
the private institutions of learning will
in turn contribute their share of what
is included in their line, the League
and the schools will be united for the
common ends avowed by both. The
next step to be anticipated will be an
exhibition of the pupils own work, and
then the purpose of the League will
have attained a still stronger hold upon
all whom it is intended to benefit.

never defaulted in the payment of in
terest or principal, and the public loans
have never been made to such large
amount that the country is loaded down
with a public improvement debt that
the internal resources will not more
than cover.
The principal trouble with Hawaii's
credit is that it has been classed with
the Tom, Dick and Harry booms of
Spanish America. The refunding meas
ure will put the country where it be-
longs in the financial scale, besides rem
dering an indirect benefit to private
enterprises, by the success of which the
treasury is to reap the reward for ex-
tensive public improvements. The ten
days extension granted the Legislature
will undoubtedly give the law makers
sufficient time to straighten out the
loan bill and refunding bill tangle and
put our finances in such businessIike
shape that there can be no discounting
the fact of the solidarity of Hawaiian
enterprise.

a SMALL DUTCH WAR.

a little war about which next 10 Nc
notice is taken in the press has been
going on pretty steadily for the last
/ twenty-three years on the Island of Su-
matTa. Twenty-three years ago the
/ Dutch annexed the province of Atchin
and during the whole of the time there
! has been constant fighting. The war
has, up to the present, cost $15, 900, 900.
In the course of the struggle the Dutch
employed native Prince, Tuku Umar,
as one of their generals. He enabled
them to gain some of their strongest
positions, and in the course of the cam
paigns they supplied him with plenty of
arms, ammunition and funds. Suddenly
this dusky chieftain has swung round
and is now using the Dutch treasure
and arms against themselves. Moral
don't trust dusky chieftains.
Atchin is a territory of about 10000
square miles in extent and has popu-
lation Of over !, 900, 900 souls, SO Holland
has quite contract on her hands.
How far out of our sphere are those
islands of the Southern sea to which
Sumatra belongs. In touch with Euro
pean civilization a couple of centuries
before the Hawaiian Islands were dis
covered, they remain three centuries
behind us. The people are classed as
semi-civilized but are really barbar-
Gus. They are pirates and kidnappers.
The appliances of civilized life, which
to us are necessities, are unknown to
them. 1t is odd to think how some pOr-
tiOns of the earth go forward rapidly,
and how slowly others advance. The
fault lies with the colonizers. The Dutch
are more apt to be pulled down to the
level of the people they cOlonize than
are the Anglo-SaXons Wherever the
AnglO-SaXon puts his foot there he es-
tablishes his own customs, his own laws
and his own theories of government
And yet the Dutch have no mean col
Onial empire. The Netherlands, with
less than $4,000 square miles of terri
tory and $780, 900 inhabitants, rule over
colonial dominion of 100000 square
miles and a population of 80, 200, 900.

The people of San Francisco are rails
ing a rumpus because the japanese chill
dren are crowding the American chill
dren out of the public schools. This is
an extraordinary state of affairs. In
every other city of the American Union
the schools are put up and enlarged to
suit the number of children, rather
than children crowded out to fit the
size of the school house. One Of the
excellent features of the American
school system in this country is shown
in that however mixed our present
population of adults may be from
racial and educational standpoint, the
children of every race have equal edu-
cationaI opportunities, and an ANAL
gamation is thereby being brought
about that will result in stronger and
more united people. If San Franciscans
had a little Hawaiian common sense
and foresight they would stop grum-
bling, and build more school houses.

WILL RAISE OUR STANDARD.

A recent issue of the London Pal
Mall Gazette deprecates the immense
amount of English money that has been
invested in Argentine, money that has
been sent to that country never to re-
turn. 1t sets forth that comparatively
few undeveloped countries have had the
same amount handed over to them for
Dublic improvements, railway construc-
ton and opening up new districts. The
Government alone, between the years
1881 and 1892, took over f55,00O,0OO di-
rectly. and it is estimated that in all
some $500. 900, 900 of English capital has
been sunk in Argentina, half of which
has been lost.
With such an example fresh in the
minds of investors. it is not surprising
that some capitalists look askance at
Hawaiian securities. There is one re
deeming feature about this country,
however; when capitalists will take the
trouble to look over our past financial
record. both of the nation and of pri-
vate corporations, they find that the
country, though small, is as sound as

For once the Hilo Tribune comes to
hand without it's usual two columns
of editorial kicks" on the Hilo public
improvements. OF course it doesn't
like the way in which the Government
has held onto the water in Wailuku
river instead of giving the Hilo Electric
Light Company free swing. But this is
a minor affair. The clique behind the
Hno Tribune would not feel natural
without offering some sort of a weekly
wall. So far as public improvements
are concerned, Hawaii takes every
thing. The next thing in order is for
some one on Maui to start newspaper
and begin a public improvement cam
paign for the next Legislature.

Section II of Chapter XXXIV of the

upon the said railroad shall not exceed
five cents for each passenger using said
cars up to and within Judd street, tho
Industrial School, and to and within

The above are two paragraphs taken
from the law under which the tram
