INSPECTION OF SCHOOLS.

The hue and cry that has been raised
against the health regulation that re-
ouires the school children and teachers
tn obtain a health certificate seems en-
tirelv unnecessary, and in fact not IN
keeping with the best interests OF the
community at large. The health con-
ditions are such in many districts that
if is quite necessary to keep careIul
watch upon the children attending the
schools where they are thrown into
close contact with each other in their
play and also in the school room, where
hooks and states are exchanged pro-
miscuously. Some people may maintain
that thew can see no element of danger
in these facts. but at the same time
there are still others who have quite as
good a right to be heard who do see
possibIe danger arising from the min
Cling together of children of different
nationaIities and from homes where
the sanitary precautions are not up to
the usual standard of the more ad-
yanced Anglo-Saxon. This may be
classed as the sentimental side of the
proposition. but nevertheless the
guardians of public health are positive
of the necessity of protecting the school
children, and their opinion is by no
means based on sentiment.
Furthermore, the regulation of the
Board is not necessarily irksome, since
a certificate signed by any licensed ply
stefan is accepted Those employing
private physicians need have no fear OF
the interference of THE Government Of
ficials. The Government physicians ex-
anime those who are unable to employ
private physicians; and indeed the Gov
eminent has gone so far as to employ
a lady physician to assist in the school
inspection, in order to allay objections
that might be raised in many families.
Taken all in all, objection to the
school inspection seems to be only the
result of misguided judgment on the
one hand and on the other the natural
born tendency to endeavor to throw
the light of Misrepresentation upon any
act of any department of the Govern
ment. The inspection is necessitated by
the peculiar conditions that exist in the
country, and those who object to the
liberal Interpretation of the rule made
by the Board of Health are simply
lending their voices to bring about 9
state of affairs that will react to their
own detrin1ent.

John Cassidy, superintendent of the
Government electric lights, is one OF
the Honoluluites who wakes enthusiast
tic on the subject of horseless vehicles
In a conversation the other day ne re-
marked that "of all cities he had ever
visited none could excel Honolulu for
that character of carriages. The streets
and roads are adapted to them and be-
lieved it was a question OF but short
time when they will be in general use
here.

many ways he said, land the public
will not be slow to recognize it. Rents
of residences in the city proper will
come down, because with the aid of one
of these carriages a man can live with
his family on the outskirts of the city
and not be under the expense in keep
ing a horse. AS an inducement for
people to live in town property owners
who lease their houses will have to re-
duce the rents.
1T would not surprise me at all, he
added, ito see the prices of these new
ideal means of lOcomotion be so re-
duced that almost any family could
own one, nor would it surprise me TO
see them manufactured in Honolulu.
No. Electricity need not be the motive

Gently, during race by horseless carrl-
ages one propelled by one of these won
against those by electricity. Their
cost, too, is much less.
Il have great faith in the scheme,
he said in conclusion, land as soon as
they are proven a perfect success in
other cities they will be used here.
The people in Honolulu are reasonably
progressive once they see an article
that has merit. History shows that
during the past decade they have not
turned their backs on innovations.

ROAD WORK.

A feature of the New Zealand de-
in our previous review in the depart
ment report, is the Cooperative
Works" In opening up new road
ways the Government gives employ
ment to such men as are DESTROYS of
obtaining land holdings in the imme-
date district. The commissioner re-
marks that lit appears to be fact
that not only is the work as cheaply
done, but as perfectly done as by the
tender system More work in super
intendence is required from the Gov
eminent officers, but the cost of the
extra time spent by the staff in doing
this is more than made up by the elm
nation of the middle-man's profit.
should not be lost sight of; it is a
pleasure to watch men working
straightforwardly for themselves, and
not with a continual glance over the
shoulder at a master" While it might
not be easible to incorporate in this
country the New Zealand plan of taking
up lands, there is suggestion in the
foregoing that may be noted with pro-
fit in aIloting the construction Of the
new roads in outside districts. Wher-
ever it is possible preference should be
given the men giving their time and
money to the development of lands
along the roadway. Contract labor
and prison labor serves its purpose in
sections where the lands on either side
have yet to be reclaimed, but in many

breeze of excitement and interested an
ticipation of expected startling develop

Moore trial began.
The startling developments began as
soon as Judge Wallace had taken his seat.
He stated that he had some questions to
ask of the jurors, and requested them
to come in one by one to an adjoining
room until he could examine them.
..He examined them each separately
and ended by postponing the trial until
next Wednesday, ordering new panel
to be drawn. The trouble was caused
By articles p ublishsd in the Manchester
Union and Nashua Telegram which the
jurymen read.
Bail was fixed at $4,000 and furnished.
