might 80 further and fare no worse.
The Japanese sovernm >nt. with digniled
masnanimity, disclains any Intention OF
making war on the little republic, but il
seems TO have rocko1ed without the
Jijis. The Jijls the .aw-Jaws and .ls
Jingoes are always ready to have some
body else fight. The warlike press does
not suffer from any sense of responsible
ity, and its threat that IL can and viii
whip all creation on the slightest provo

all through il.
There VIII be, however, no Wa betw cen
Japan and Hawaii. there will be no war
between England and the United State
The principal parties are too busy with
the troubles they have on hand and the
task of attending TO their industrial de-
velopment. Japan viii not enter upon any
hosulties with Hawaii because that would
ntcessitate the interference OF this coun-
try. Preparing as We are for annexation,
we should not want q hsavy war indemnity

Japan has very properly interposed in

treaty obligations OF Hawaii must be re-
spected. If they are onerous they can
be abrogated in the manner usual be-

end of 1t. and the JiJis Of Japan are likely

was only interested IN having ire children
taught English. AS ire tire occupied n
teaching German seriously inrerfered
with the other lessons. h was decided No.
10 teach German unless the parents ex-
presSly wished fer II. So few Germans
have made this request a $ TO occasion si-

can institutions; and thst the best types
. cf citizenship are TO graduate from ths
public schools.
The composition OF hoard Of education
is a matter OF great diff suity. The wonder
is that our school system has become so
eminent in view OF The character OF so
many members OF school boards. When
ordinary citizens are appointed 10 the OF
! ace they suffer frorn lack Of a practical
knowledge OF pedagogy. They may mean
well, but teaching is a learned profession,
! and the training OF children calls for
special natural qualification and artificial
requirements. On The other hand tie So

intendents is likely 10 result In the per-
petuation Of Anticipated methods. 1t may
De said that the average citizen on
school board is competent 10 select

as TO select well qualified attorney TO at
tend to his important business interests, or
q doctor TO attend TO his health ana ne
preservation of his life, or OF manager
for any branch Of his business. This is
so near the truth. that notwithstanding
selfish interests and political influence,
the common sense and good faith OF the
common citizen has blilt UP the finest
school system TO DE found In any country
in the world.
This consideration holds out hope that
Louisiana will he enabled 10 ascend from
