BY THE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC
INSTRUCTION.
An Appropriation Will be Asked for to
Secure One-Examinations to be In
troduced in California.

The physical examinations of school
children should be done by a special
physician of the Department of Public
Instruction, says Minister Mott-Smith,
president of the Board of Education.
The facts made public yesterday re-
garding the manner in which the work
is done were a subject of very general
discussion. According to the opinion
of Mr.. MottSmith there should be in
spections every three or four months
and a physician in charge should see
that the children are properly looked
after as regards health.
IF we can get an appropriation" +"
said Mr.. Mott-Smith, Il shall endeavor
to have doctor appointed as school
physician whose duty it will be to do
all the examining and he will have
time TO do it properly. There would
have to be woman physician as well,
to look after the girls.
THE examinations need not be so
thorough if they are held oftener The
physician would know the pupils he
was looking after and probably would
not want to examine some of them
a second time. The system may be
unpopular with many people but it is
certainty necessity in this part of the
world"
The public schools of California are
likely to adopt a rule compelling ply
steal examinations, though it will be
mainly with a view to the proper di-
rection of physical culture. Every
student of either sex is examined on
entering the State University and the
authorities of that institution which
| leads the entire school system of the
state, are moving to introduce their
system into the lower schools. Prof
| w. e. Magee, head of the State Uni
versity department of physical culture
has already done a good deal of cam
paign work in the matter, with the
result that some private and High
schools have followed his advice ard
| soon physical examinations are likely
J to be the rule all over California as lr

WANT BONDS CANCELLED

The Cabinet this morning considered
a petition of the Hawaiian Planters
Association to eliminate the clause in
immigration rules requiring that ten
per cent of all contract laborers
brought into the country shall be Eu-
ropeans or Americans. The point is
that bond is required for the compli-
ance with this rule, and the same is
forfeited If the proportions named are
not adhered to. The planters want
this bond requirement annulled.
In their memorial to the Cabinet the
planters represented that they had eX-
pended every effort to carry out the
provisions of the law but were wholly
unable to do so. The troubles with
Italy and with Portugal recently were
cited as instances of the hardshps en-
countered.
The Government decided that, while
the planters had acted in good faith
intheir endeavor to provide European
or American laborers, it did not feel
that it had authority to eliminate the
clause referred to, holding that that
authority rested only with the legisla-
ure.
Consideration of the application of
the Hawaiian Tramways Company to
use the fiat rail on it's lines in Homo
lulu was taken up and approved.
The offer of Brewer & Company to
sell land in front of the new May build
ing on Fort street, required for street
widening purposes, to the Government
at Sc per square foot was accepted.
c. W. Spitz, at Nawiliwili, Kauai,
was granted a wholesale liquor licnse
for his town.
The matter of E. w. Barnard, for
mer district magistrate in Hamakua,
was discussed but no action was taken.

SOLDIERS HIDDEN ON THE
TACOMA.
Men Stationed Here Who Want to Get
to Manila-Many Desertions From
the Sixth Artillery.

Major Wood of the Sixth Artillery
and two Honolulu police officers went
aboard the transport Tacoma this
morning to make search for five SOL
diers of the hospital corps stationed
here, who had slowed themselves away
on board the Tacoma in the hope of
getting to Manila. The five deserters
were missed this morning and it was
at once surmised that they were trying
to get to Manila. After a careful
search three of the men were found In
the hold and placed under arrest
When brought up they were black and
grimy and disappointed. They were
marched to Camp Mckinley and placed
in the guardhouse there.
1t is thought that the other two mis-
sing men are on the Tacoma, but a
diligent search failed to discover them.
If they are on the transport they are
in fair way to attain their desire and
reach Manila where they will have to
stand sentences for deserting their
posts.
The Sixth Artillery batteries station
ed here have lost between twenty and
thirty men in the last few days. All
the soldiers here are anxious to go to
Manila, when the rest of the Sixth S
batteries, more than half, now are.
The men think they can steal aboard
| the officers of the Sixth at Manila and
| get off with a slight punishment There
would be a sentence of thirty days in
the guardhouse, or something like that
and after that the new comers would
be assigned to places in the batteries
at the front. The soldiers are willing
to stand thirty days in the guardhouse
for the sake of getting to the scene of
war.
| The police are also being kept busy
by men who want to get off the trans
ports. This afternoon a number of
officers are searching for deserters, al
civilian employees such as firemen, coal
passers and cooks, from the Grant and
| Tacoma both.
There was an exciting fight this
afternoon when four of the desertine
| firemen were returned to the Grant

TRAVEL TO THE ORIENT ALMOST
STOPPED.
Two Hundred and Fifty Chinese and
Japanese Cannot Secure Tickets
Prospects for Future Travel

Travel from Honolulu to the Orient
is almost at a standstill as a result OF
the Chartering of passenger steamers
for use as army transports The Cop
tic leaves this afternoon with the
largest load she ever carried, being
packed to the extreme limit that the
law allows, but enough would-be pas
sengers are left behind to more than
take all the room there will be on the
next steamer. HaCkfeld d Company
refunded the money to hundred and
fifty Chinese who had booked to leave
on the Coptic today.
The COptic leaves this afternoon with
a hundred and five cabin passengers
and with her steerage crowded to the
limit. The room is occupied to such
an extent that baggage had to be
placed on deck. At the offices Of the
agents, however, there was a constant
stream of enquirers all day today try
ing to secure passage on the vessel.
They were all told that no more tick
cts could be sold As a result, about
25O Chinese and japanese who want
to go to the Orient are not able to
secure passage and there is a prOba
bility that many of them will fare no
better when the next vessel arrives.
The America Maru is expected from
San Francisco on the 22nd. She Will
| not call here, say the agents, on her
| way from Yokohama. 1t is expected
that she will be crowded at San Fran
cisco as the Coptic was and still
larger number of intending travellers
may be left behind here.
The conditions at San Francisco are
much the same, so that passengers for
| Honolulu have difficulty in getting
bookings, travellers for the far east taxi
| ing all the room. This accounts for
the Coptic's small list for here and will
send a good deal of the business to the
! ( "a 1fnt ipA l.. I,.1t.

| crowded though not so badly. A num-

1t is not always best to wait until it
Is needed before buying a bottle of
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and Diar-

remedy is required in the very busiest
season or in the night and much incon-
venience and suffering must be borne
before it can be obtained. 1t costs but
a trifle as compared with it's real worth
and every family can we'll afford to keep
it in their home. 1t Is everywhere ac-
