EDUCATING YOUTH ABROAD.

The bill to provide for and regulate
the education of Hawaiian youths
abroad contains in section the fol-
lowing regulation:
The Secretary of the Territory with
the Board Of Education are hereby d.
rected to send the youths only to be
taught in the following occupations:
First - The Legal Profession"
"Second-The Medical Profession"
"Third-Surveying and Civil Engin-
eering." "Fourth-The Art OF Teach
ing"
The measure as whole Is quite con-
trary to the spirit OF American institu-
tons. 1t carries out the old paternal
idea OF Hawaii's more recent form OF
government and when the Secretary Is
called to select candidates from among
poor" young men whom the measure
is meant to assist. 1t Is likely that
whatever Interpretation he gives the
term poor" will certainly give rise
to considerable i'll will The Bulletin
believes the Territory and its people
would derive greater benefits II the
same amount Of thought and money
were devoted to raising the standards
OF our own educational institutions.
At all events the measure should not
pass In such form as to confine the
youth of Hawaii TO any particular line
OF study.
Hawaii has lawyers galore and rep
resentatives OF the medical profession
on every other corner. Surveying and
civil engineering and the art of teach
ing are the only lines Of study in which
the youth would not be subject to the
sharpest possible competition after his
graduation and return home to go into
business for himself.
And what of the course In agricul-
tural chemistry that is a compulsory
department OF every State university OF
the Mainland? Hawaii is prominently
an agricultural country. The nation
gives sufficient Importance to this
DldnCn Ol sluuy W tsb''idily tiiuo"
colleges OF Agriculture and Mechanic
Arts, from which have developed the
State Universities. Our own public and
private schools have added special in.
struction in agriculture TO the curricu'
lum. Yet the youth going abroad for
study is by this measure, as originally
offered, excluded from taking a course
that will fit him for work in the chemi
cal laboratory of any of the sugar plan
tations or will enable him to make
specially in any OF the branches of d.
versifled agriculture.
This measure as finally passed ought
to be free from any direction whatever
OF the course of study any of its bene-
ficiaries should pursue. Let the young
man make his own decision and not
be hedged about by any regulations
which shall force him into a line OF
study for which he is not fitted. Give
him a freedom Of action to follow his
own inclnations so they are directed
toward a higher education Of any char
acter.

COMPULSORY VOTING.

Whenever any great reform is to be
instituted in me government of a city
in he United States, the chief duty Of
: the reform party is centred in the as
sembling of the better class ,of voters
at the polls. 1t is recognized that once
the best citizens are induced to use
their franchise the hoodlum element
can be outvoted. The Christian ele-
ment, the home-loving man of the res
idence district, can usually be counted
upon to vote intelligently and for the
best interests Of the municipality.
So far no city nor State. has been
able to force voters to the polls. It
has remained for Belgium to practi-
cally do this and in a way that is
both efflcacious and free from criti-
cism. Perhaps politics in that country
is not absolutely pure, but, according
to one writer, the standard has been
raised.
In this country the percentage of
those absenting themselves from the
polls is between Is and 40, depending
on the importance of the election ana
the hustling abilities of the candidates.
Previous to 1897 about 16 per cent of
the voters OF Belgium remained away
from the polls, a very small number,
considering the density of population.
In that year, a law was passed max
ing it compulsory upon every qualified
voter to cast his ballot at every cleo
ton. The only excuses that are &C
cepted are sickness and absence from
the country. Last year, out of the
5000 or more who failed to vote, about
half presented valid excuses to the
courts when brought to trial. In the
cases of first offenders, a simple warn
ing was given. Where there had been
previous neglect, a small fine, not eX-
ceeding 25 marks, was imposed and
the privileges of the franchise taken
away for a period of ten years. In
that time, the recalcitrant is not allow
ed to be a candidate for Office, to hold
any official position nor to vote on any
proposition. He is actually barred
from enjoying a privilege that he ne
elected.
The effect of this system has been
to reduce the percentage of those stay
ing at home on election day to 81 per
cent. Instead of opposition to the law,
it is said that voters take pride in
keeping their record straight. Rich
and poor have received an impetus
for choosing officials. The man who
grumbles that politics lis so dirty is
silent
A Western contemporary concludes,
and we heartily agree with him, that
this is a state of affairs that should
exist in this country, where spasmodic
reforms are such a feature of life.

WORTHY OF NOTICE.

Within the past few years the prob
lem of municipal Improvement has
been brought forward with increasing
force both through the persistent ad-
vocacy of its friends and by the in
fluence that has been wrought through
the practical results efrected in large
cities.
f. Yet the problem has not been solved.
From an artistic and social point Of
view, the modern city is an evidence
Of barbaric caste and Inconvenience
The building laws make no uniformity
in construction possible. Streets that
should be broad bOuleVards are hard
ly more than alleys. The whole
scheme of material construction is out
of joint. There is little harmony be-
tween the component parts Of what
should be one great picture.
Up to this time, the discussion has
been confined to learned magazine ar
ticles and lengthy speeches in conven-
tons. At no Worlds Fair has there
been a practical demonstration Of
means and effects that may be secured
by an application of principles along
artistic and methodical lines.
At the recent conventin of the Ma
tional League of Municipal Improve
ment Associations a resolution was
passed faVOring such a display at the
Louisiana Purchase Centennial EXPOSE
ton. This suggestion has received gen.
eral and generous mention by the
Eastern. press. AS showing the in
'terest aroused by the discussion, other
organizations are taking up the mat
ter. One Of the recent actions was
taken by the Committee on Municipal
improvements of the Architectural
League Of America, which passed reso-
buttons commencing the suggestion of
the National League of Improvement
Associations. '-'- g,
There is no doubt that the subject
will be touched in some form in the
coming Worlds Fair, says the st.
Louis Republic. Just what shape it
will take remains to be seen. It is a
subject that promises to assume great
er and greater proportions within the
next few years.

CONTROLLERS REFORM.

FlOrida'S new Comptroller, non. A.
4. Groom, has dropped a bomb into
the court houses and newspaper Offices
Of the State, especially of the Southern
counties, that has thrown these centres
of activity into state of thunder
struck cOmmOtion.
Mr.. Groom is taking advantage of
the new tax law to save the State be-
tween 100000 and $4,000. He is abol-
ishing the tax list as lucrative feat
ure Of journalism. He is introducing
startling reform. In a series of
eight circulars addressed to the as
SCISSORS, collectors and clerks, he puts
construction on the new law that
wipes out the old practice of selling
and advertising the same piece Of land
year after year. He has ruled that
every piece Of land against which there
Is an outstanding tax certificate. held
by the State must be taken on the as
sessment roll. AS the percentage of
lands sold to the State every year is
about ninety per cent, this ruling will
cut down tax sale lists to almost
nothing.
Moreover, he insists that this ruling

work on the officers. The ASSESSMENT
books are far advanced at this date.
The assessors will have to revise their

this, the collectors will have to do

their report Of errors and double as
sessments. There IL no escape, for the
Comptroller will refuse to pay out a
cent to any officer or newspaper upon
a single piece Of land covered BY a
tax certificate. 49,

a heavy loss on the newspapers that
have hitherto been lucky enough to
secure the tax list, and It will also en-
tail extra work for less pay. on the
assessors and collectors, but ftTmust

payers great deal Of money.

BRYAN ON sCHI.Ev

When the news first reached the
American people concerning the San
tlago naval battle the impression was
that Admiral Sampson was the real
hero OF the occasion. This was due Ia
the act that Admiral Sampson sent 10
the President a message in which he
said that the feet under nv COM
mand" offered the American nation the
Santiago victory as a Fourth of July
present. But as soon as the newsDaper
reports and the statements of eve
witnesses came in, It developed that
Admiral Sampson, while theoretically
In command of the American fleet. was
at leas. twelve miles from. .bne scene
OF battle, and that it was Admiral
| Schley who commanded and led the
splenuid fight. Immediately a sys-
tematic attack was opened upon
Schley, although the great sailor did
not indulge in boastings of any char
acter. In reply to a question he said
there is glory enough in this victory
for all OF U.s." Since then the adher-
ents Of Sampson and the administra-
ton politicians have kept the news
papers filled with things intended to
discredit Schley, but that officer has
maintained dignified silence.
Finally, because of formal and ser
ious attacks made upon him, Admiral
Schley has been forced, in defense of
his manhood, to demand a court of in
quiry. His statements to the news
papers after having demanded a court
OF inquiry are characteristic of the
man. He said Its very great pity
that there should be a controversy
over matters wherein everybody did his
best" How different this from the
attitude assumed by the enemies of
Admiral Schley.
1t is indeed very great pity thai
there should be any controversy over
a matter wherein the world has given
credit where credit belongs. It is in
deed pity that there should be any
controversy that seeks to discredit a
brave, honorable and modest sea-fight-
er, who successfully led the American
forces in one of the greatest battles in
the history of the world. 1t is indeed a
very great pity that the politician and
the bureaucratS having the favor of
the administration should insist on

OF the most prominent clubs in Balti-

ington had himself been largely in
strumental in bringing into existence.
It now develops from a letter writ

friend of his family, residing in At,
lanta, that he did not utter the words
attributed to him. That he was an
preached time and again for an inter-
view, but that out Of respect for the
dead, and being unable to forgive GER
tain acts of the President while Iiv-
ing, he had refused to say anything.
Notwithstanding certain outrageous
sentiments had been attributed to him
and published broadcast over the.
country, the Journal, desiring a little
notoriety for itself, seized uponf the
incident to make a big powwow, and
demand his expulsion from the United

methods of such journals in time of
