THE SCHOOLS OF HAWAII
BIENNIAL REPORT OF MINISTER
T-SMITH.
The History of Education and Schools
in These Islands by Inspector General
Henry Schiller Townsend.

The report of the Minister of Public
Instruction for the biennial period just
ended has been issued. The report is
made by Minister b. A. Mott-Smith. 1t
contains a summary of the two years
work, with the recommendations made
for the coming period. There are
large number of statistical tables
showing the increase in attendance on
the public schools. One of these shows
that the number of pupils attending
have increased from $50 in 1885, to
1890 i'll 1899 There has been an in
crease in attendance of children of ev-
cry nationality except Hawaiians,
where there has been a decrease of 277
But there has been an increase of 1,474
in the number of part Hawaiian chill
dreu.
Inspector Geneial Townsend in his
report presents a resume of the history
of education and schools in the Hawaii
an Islands, beginning with an account
of the extent and character of the
education of the ancient Hawaiians.
In this article he traces the history of
the school system of the Islands. He
gives credit to Richard Armstrong, II
r. Hitchcock and A. II. Atkinson, for
having been the directing minds each
in his own time and under the circum-
stances which surrounded him, that
have brought the school system up to
its present status. OF his own work he
says: 'Since my appointment to this
office have devoted myself to the task
of making our school work more cdu-
cative."
In conclusion he says: school facil-
tiles have been made more commensu-
rate with the needs of the community.
Teachers, for the most part, have in
creased their efficiency in the work of
real education. The attendance OF pu-
pills has increased as facilities have in
creased But on the other hand this re-
port offers abundant evidence that our
tasks are not yet performed. Large
numbers of new buildings must be
erected If our educational facilities are
TO keep up with our educational needs.
And If these new school houses are to
be built the problem Of a suitable sup
ply of teachers will be by no means
small"
The report is illustrated with several
half-tone engravings Of school houses
in Honolulu.

THROUGH NEW CHINATOWN
SECTION OF PALAMA OCCUPIED
BY ORIENTALS.
Shaping the Place to Look Like the Old
Town-settlement Spreading Down
Liliha Street.

New Chinatown is an interesting part
of the city just now. on King and Lii
liha street from the railway depot out
and down to Vineyard, the thorough
fares are as full of Japanese and Chi
nese as the streets of Chinatown ever
were. They pass up and down, jabber-
ing away i'm their respective LIMOGES.
Many of them live there. Others occu-
py the detention camp on Vineyard
street, but come on in the other streets
to see friends and transact business.
From the lumber yard of the Oahu
Building Company to Palama chapel
there is being erected almost a contin-
uous block of two-story houses, of con-
siderable depth. Three of them are
already finished. Down stairs are stores
Upstairs are the conventional verandas
of the Orientals, and an almost inter
minable continuation of living rooms.
These buildings belong to Cross broth
ers, and are rented already. They have
cement floors, and are inspected daily
by DR.. Pratt to see that the regulations
of the Board of Health are compiled
with.
On the mauka side of King street a
new two-story building has gone up on
the Aala track and is occupied. on
Aala Lane is a picturesque sight. II
is line of tents, each one of which is
a meat or vegetable market. The keep
eGS nave immense boxes IN WnlCn they
store their belongings at night. Tents
are occupied in lieu of buildings.
Farther along is the extension of Ber-
etania street Blasting has already be-
gun for the extension. The new street
line will take out a portion of one OF
the new buildings.
Back of this point is the building leas-
ed for the Pauahi street women, ana
about which there has been so much
talk. 1t is a long single story affair
with cement floors. The women occu-
pied the building for five days, but W ere
then arrested, and have now removed
to Iwilei. The owners of the building
will turn it into a lodging house for
men and families after this month.
From the Chinese hospital to Liliha
street there are several residents who
are trying to hold their own against
the invasion of Orientals, but this will
probably not last long, as bids for their
| property are already being made. At
the corner of Liliha and King is anCth-
er immense two-story building which
shuts in the residents at both sides.
! In Liliha street buildings are rapidly
| going up. Others are being moved
around and altered to suit the Oriental
taste. The sound of hammers in the
neighborhood is deafening during the
working hours of the day. Stores, res
/ taurants, markets and the like of old
Maunakea street, are being duplicated
along this thoroughfare by the same
| proprietors. The new Chinatown will
he an immense Improvement in SAM
/ tary way, but appearances are that 1t
will look much the same.

Mayor Moir has lately had numerous
complaints about a speakeasy con-
Quoted at 1412 Cumberland street by
Patrick McCafferty and yesterday he
decided to arrest the gentleman, hav-
ing sent out several of his agents the
night before to secure the evidence.
The aforesaid agents observed that
Mrs. McCafferty did the dispensing at
the bar, and. upon being informed of
this, his honor, in order to make no
mistake, issued warrants for both Pat
rick and his spouse.
They were arrested early last even
ing and were arraigned before the
mayor who expecting their arrival,
came down shortly after o'clock. The
two prisoners were very indignant.
They sell intoxicating liquors! They
Mr.. and Mrs. McCafferty, conduct, u
speakeasy!
Why, the very idea of the thing was
absurd. Yes, positively ridiculous. 1t
was spite work pure and simple. They
were not prepared to say that they
didn't sell intoXiCants some time ago,
but they hadn't sold a drop for twelve
long months. Yes, they would swear
to that. Twelve long months. And
so on, and so on.
Their protestations of innocence
might have convinced the mayor If
he didn't knew a few more things than
they thought he knew.
You're sure you haven't sold any
thing for a year," he asked.
Yes. were sure" replied Mr.. Nc
Cafferty.
well, perhaps this gentleman will
inform us differently" said his honor
as he directed Sergeant Deter to bring
in from another room one of his two
witnesses. The couples faces grew long
when they saw him and they grew
longer still when he testified to having
bought beer and ale from Mrs. Nc
Cafferty at Q o'clock Monday night
The other witness testified to the same
facts.
Yes, and we've got a little of the
ale" said the mayor, as he pulled out
bottle of that beverage from under
his desk. That's the shortest twelve
months l ever heard Of"
Mrs. McCafferty averred that she
had never seen either of the two wit
nesses, but her liege lord, realizing that
they were up against it promptly paid
over the $50 fine imposed by the mayor.

DEATH OF WATTS COOKE
He Was General Superintendent of
the D., L. & w. Company in This
City Thirty Years Ago.

Watts Cooke, of Paterson. n. J.,
president of the Passaic Rolling Mill
company and formerly general super
intendent of the Delaware, Lackawan-
ma and Western railroad in this city.
died yesterday, after several months
illness. He was very we'll known in
this city, where he spent between six
teen and seventeen years of his life,
during his connection with the Della
ware, Lackawanna and Western. He
came here when twentyone years
of age, as master mechanic, and
n few years later was promoted to the
general superntendency.
L. Z. Kingsbury, who is a brother
in-law of the deceased was notified of
the death yesterday afternoon and left
for Paterson. Mr.. Cooke leaves many
friends among the older residents of
Scranton, and in Paterson his death
has cast a gloom over the entire city,
as he had endeared himself to all by
his many philanthrOpic acts. He was
founder and president of the Passaic
Rolling Mill company, one of the lead
ing industrial organizations of Pater-
son, and was also prominently identi-
fled with several of the large banks of
the city.
During the last thirty years he ac-
quired a name as one of the most
popular citizens of the New Jersey city,
and one term was elected to the board
Of aldermen, which corresponds to our
councils, and gave his district able
representation. Among his many we'll
known deeds of benevolence and ma
terial contributions to the growth Of
Paterson, was the establishing of a
church in a section of the city.
Mr.. Cooke is survived by his wife
and eight children, and two married
sisters. He was born sixty eight years
ago in Paterson, and spent his early
childhood there. Even as a boy he was
of a mechanical turn of mind, and
when he became old enough to choose,
decided to enter the great mechanical
world, and there battle to gain himself
name. He served his apprenticeship
at the Paterson Locomotive works and
when tWenty-Oue years of age came to
Scranton, as master mechanic of the
Lackawanna.
He was followed a few years later
by his brothers, William and James,
who accepted responsible positions at
the Dickson Manufacturing works. His
brother John was the founder of the
Cooke Coupling and Machine works,
at Paterson, which bear a national
reputation.

HARTFORD FAIR OPENS MONDAY
1t Is One of Leading Events of the
Kind.

The Hartford fair begins today. This
is an annual event looked forward to
with great interest by the residents of
Susquehanna, Wayne, wyoming and
the upper portions of Lackawanna
county. 1t is always two days fair
and this year will commence this
morning and close tomorrow night. 1t
is held in the borough of Hartford, Sus-
quehanna county. situated four miles
from Kingsley on the Lackawanna
railroad, which is it's shipping point
The road from Kingsley to Hartford is
over a succession of steep hills, but the
good road from the two places makes
1t an interesting ride and one filled
with enjoyable sights. running through
rural scenery and allowing lungs to be
filled with pure mountain air.
This great annual event Is looked for
ward to by from five to six thousand
persons with pleasurable anticipations
and 1t is no wonder to one who has
ever attended it, 1t is a country fair,
pure and simple. There are no horse
races, no games of chance allowed and
liquor is placed under a severe ban.
The buildings and grounds are among
those which are considered to be the
forty-third fair that has been held in
tie grove away up on the hilltops and
prettler spot could not be found.
The exhibition of horses. cattle,
sheep, swine and live stock of all
kinds: the fruits of the field, orchard
and vine; the display of fancy things
fabricated by deft feminine fingers, are
all set forth to the best advantage.
In tn IA,
at an agricultural exhibition the Har-
ford fair is always sure to introduce
some novelty in the way of competi-
tion, such as pulling matches, contest
for ladies hitching up a horse, a bal
loon ascension or some like attraction.
Prof. l.. b. Heighes will this year de-
liver the annual address.
Scrantonians who intend to visit this
fair can take the $50 or 1925 a. m. train
to Kingsley, where there will be found
numerous stages and hacks. The D..
l.. & w. management will sell excur-
sion tickets at one fare for the round
trip at all stations between Scranton
and Binghamton. These tickets are
good going today and tomorrow and
for return until Friday. The day Of
most interest undoubtedly viii be to-
morrow, as there are a number of In
teresting events on the programme for
them.
As The Tribune has large and
constantly increasing circulation in
Susquehanna county, IL will detail
a reporter from the office to attend the
fair during its continuance, and It will
present to its readers each day a full
and interesting description Of It,
