AUTooRATIo COMMISSIONERS

The Board Of Education possesses
some very remarkable ideas of the
power vested in its members. There
is no other department under the
Government where the maxim, "the
public be damned" is 80 plainly
illustrated than in that presided
over by the commissioners of educa-
tion. 1t is about time that parents
and those having charge of children
within the school age assert their
rights and teach the commissioners
that they are the servants, not the
masters, of the taxpayers. If they
don't like the fact they can step out,
the education of the country could
certainly not suffer through o change
in the present personnel. Young
boys are arrested by truant officer
and forced to spend night in Jail
waiting hearing before a magis-
trate. What right has trusnt Off
Ger to arrest boy, who did not at
tend school, without first ascertain
ing whether he stayed away with the
permission Of his parents or guard
ians9 The ignorant truant officers
employed by the Board OF Educa-
tion have very erroneous ideas of
their duties. If taxpayer chooses
to keep his child at home for
reasonable length of time he is per-
fectly entitled to do so, the truant
officers and the Board of Education
to the contrary Notwithstanding.
There are certain rights under our
constitution Of which a citizen can
yet boast, and there are sufficient
provisions there which entitle par
ents to be the judges of when and
where their children shall go to
school. To lock up boys OF tender
years in cell at the instance of
truant officers, whose want of dis
cretion is often illustrated in the
courts, is an outrage, and even the
commissioners Of education should
be able to realize the inevitable evils
resulting from 'familiarizing chill
dren with prison life. The Board
goes further, however. In a certain
public school the children are or
dered to bare their necks and arms
for an inspection of their cleanli-
ness. Their heads are examined
carefully, and the boys and girls are
humiliated by such an inspection in
the presence Of the whole school.
We presume that the principal Of
the school is acting under the auth
ority of the commissioners, if not it
is hoped that she will be severely re-
buked for such an unwarrantable
action, which has caused some par
ents to withdraw their children from
the school, an example which will
be followed by others who Justly
consider it an insult to have their
children publicly stripped and in
spected in regard to the use in their
homes OF soap, water and clean
linen.
The commissioners are welcome
to meet every week, look important
and discuss methods of teaching-of
which they know very little. But
they should be made to understand
that they cannot interfere with the
rights OF the parents, and that any
autocratic action on the part of the
teachers or agents will be resented
by all citizens.

WHEN ANNEXATION COMES.

Whatever happens the sugar in
dustry of Hawaii will not fail. Indi-
vidual shareholders may be forced
to let go of shares for which they
have paid too much and for the
purchase Of which they have bor-
rowed money. Estates may change
owners, but the industry will not
die. With or without annexation
the methods Of conducting estates
will be changed, with more or less
of shock 10 individuals Shares will
be shuffled and new deal made,
but the game will go on.

An English exchange says: Con
siderable discussion has naturally en-
sued on the rise of bread, and it is sug-
gested that bakers are making more
than a legitimate profit. Taking the
statistics of the Labour Gazette, we
find that during the second week in
August the price Of wheat was 29s Sd,
and in the second week in September
it had risen to 33s Id per quarter. For
the same weeks the price of the four
pound loaf was respectively 497d and
5.68d, which gives rise of IS Sd per
quarter in wheat and II d in the four
pound loaf. It is estimated that 120
loaves of four-pounds each can be
made from quarter of wheat, SO at
the prices given above the August loaf
would, counting only the price OF
wheat, cost 2.95d, and the September
loaf 3.30d. There is therefore an in
crease of lid in the price of the Sep
TENDER as sold by the bakers as
against .35d per loaf, charging only the
cost of the wheat"

A more dramatic ending of the life
of public character and political re-
former could hardly be invented by
the novelist than the death of Henry
George four days before the great
municipal election in New York. It
was the sober tribute of the whole
community that he had laid down his
life for the well-being of his fellow
men, and men of wealth and envied
station We'd with workingmen in
speaking his praise and showing hon
or to his memory. Yet some years
ago, when his well-known work,
Progress and Poverty" was the text
book OF an active propaganda in favor
of the naturalization of land, it was
customary to denounce Henry George
as the prophet and apostle of the most
immoral and dishonest crusade against
established rights and institutions
that had been seriously undertaken in
modern times. How has it come about
that a writer who was then so COM
monty reprobated as charlatan
should now be treated as a lofty pat
riot, a moral hero, a true philanthropy
fist, prophet of Righteousness and al
most as saint to be reverenced? Only
one explanation can satisfy all the
facts. Well may we ask, will the an
archistsa OF today be the defenders Of
our country's honor tomorrow?
