whether she is not paying too high for
her prominence in this respect. The
strain upon children in the elementary
schools, in particular, is excessive. A
writer in a German paper recently made
the remarkable statement that during
the ten years ending in 1896 not less
than four hundred and seven school
children, of whom three hundred and
thirty-one were boys, committed suici-

German forcing system in education is
fully developed. Without a single eX-
ception, it is stated, these children were
pupils of elementary schools and schools
where professional training is given. AS

food in abundance, it is possible that
insufficient nourshmenr combined with
severe demand upon the brain was
the chief cause why these children took

ST. LOUIS COLLEGE.

st Louis College celebrates the seven
teenth anniversary of the arrival of the
Brothers to take charge of the school.
Since the Brothers have taken charge
St. Louis College, as an educational in
stitution has been growing in influence.
Up to the time of their arrival it had
practically no influence, but under them
it has gradually increased until it has
taken rank among the foremost of the
independent educational institutions in
the Territory.
The Brothers come from Dayton,
Ohio, where there is a training school
and where those who choose to enter
the brotherhood are educated for their
profession. Schools under charge of
the members of the brotherhood are
found in all parts of the mainland, from
Texas to Wyoming. In the Territory,
besides the main school in Honolulu,
there are branches in Hilo and Wal
luku and all are in a fiourishing condi-
ton.
During the seventeen years of their
work here, there has been ample time
to judge of the results. A large num-
Der of young men have passed through
the hands of the Brothers and many of
them are occupying prominent positions
in business and stores and have a high
standing in the community.
The Brothers not only educate the
boys but they have an excellent in
fluence upon them when they become
young men, and keep up a pleasant re-
lationship with their former pupils. De-
batting and dramatic societies have
been organized among the old pupils,
who assemble in the main hall of the
institution, and other social amuse-
ments are kept up.
st. Louis College and its off shoots
have done good educational work, filling
a want and reaching some classes of
pupils which might not be content in
the public schools

The order of the Auditors Depart
ment against the practice of assign
ments of Receipts of warrants" is a
good one. For long time the govern
ment was made use of by collectors as
a means for ensuring their collections
This was discontinued some years ago
There was a time when a collector
would lodge with the paying clerk Of
a department list of those who owed
him, and would expect the clerk to de-
duct from the various salaries the
amounts mentioned. Then in day or
two he would call round for his cash.
There has been since the above plan
was abolished, a means of advancing
money on assignments, and this the
Auditor has stopped. This is In strict
accord with methods in Federal offices.

The Aala squatters have at last been
removed Why they have been allowed
to remain so long there is by no means
clear. The matter was reported long
ago by the Board of Health inspectors,
but received absolutely no attention.
The Star brought the matter before the
public a fortnight or so ago, with the
result that action has at last been
taken. 1t remains to be seen whether
the squatters will only move from Aala
to encamp themselves in some other
locality A pretty sharp eye should be
kept upon them.

The religious question is going to
complicate educational matters in Porto
Rico. At a recent meeting on that ISL
and, the Roman Catholics and the Lib
erals engaged in a very rancorous de-
bate, and the Bishop thumped the table
in very unepiscopal manner. In
countries where the Roman Catholic
church has had full control in educa-
tional matters, there will be a good deal
of heat evolved before the American
system of unsectarian education is set
to working smoothly.

The idea is suggested that it would be
d good thing for each club to own a
house boat and let the crews sleep
there. Indeed the idea of house boats
for families might be initiated with
advantage. There are plenty of places
in the Pearl Lochs where house boats
might be anchored and an enjoyable
outing spent. House boats are popular
on the mainland and in England.
