BUSINESS IS
TO BE TAUGHT

Professor Scott was interviewed last
the High School system of a commercial
department, which was determined upon
some weeks ago by the Board of Educa-
ton.
1.-THE arrangement for this additional
department" said he, SIS simply mark
of progress and of Honolulu's advance
ment in modern methods; the commercial
department is a regular part of the High
School systems of the Mainland cities,
and in addition to keeping apace with
other cities in educational matters, this
city has peculiar reasons for adding this
department. There are many pupils that
come to the High School who have not
the time to complete the course, and
probably have not the inclination to do
so from a scholastic view pCint. Some OF
them do not care, or have not the time,
to acquire the different languages of the
course, and many of them are DESTROYS
of fitting themselves for the beginning
of business careers without undue loss
of time For these the commercial course
is a great advantage. These young PEG
pie must have means Of earning liyeli-.
hood, and the commercial course famil-
iarizes them with general business meth
DDS and offers them the opportunity of
learning typewrIJing and shorthand,
through which they may earn liveli-
hood AT the same time the pupils can
have the benefit of such part of the reg
ular High School as they see fit.
The practical benefits of the CONNER
cial course are many. One who takes it
up learns the peculiar vocabulary of the
courts and of business houses, and they
learn the proper forms of legal and bus
mess documents. The course puts them
| in touch with the commercial world,
which they are compelled to meet in the
battle for livelihood. Without a bust
ness training of this kind young man
| or young woman who goes forth to earn
| d livelihood, is at great disadvantage,
and 1t takes them long time and costs
them serious hindrance, before they have
learned what they may learn in the few
months of a commercial course.
| Honolulu particularly should have
| this department in her High School. for
| the reason that the boys and girls leav-
| ing the school must earn a living in some
| way, and the positions offered by the
| business houses and offices of the city be
long by right to them. AS 1t is, these
positions are nearly all occupied by tran
sients from the Mainland.
| THE commercial department will oper
| with the regular course in September
and it will be in charge of Mr.. Arm
strong, of the University of California
at Berkeley. He is young man thor
oughly competent to teach this course il
all it's different lines, and I am sure thu
new department of the High School sys
tenn will prove great success"

INCREASED
BY $4,000
Kapiolani Estate
Before Tax
Court.
OBJECTION TO
THE BIG RAISE
McCIanahan Declares the Action
of the Assessor to Be Unwar.
ranted and Outrageous.

TT HE valuation of the property re-
h. turned by the Kapiolani Estate
has been increased by Assessor
Pratt nearly third of a million dol
lars The estate, through Attorney Nc
CIanahan, appeared before the Tax
Appeal Court yesterday to introduce
evidence to prove that this increase
was Outrageous and unwarranted," to
quote the words of their representative
NearlX the entire afternoon was occu-
pied in hearing the Kapiolani appeal,
and the hearing is to be resumed to-
day,
The bulk of this enormous increase is
in a tract of 1926 acres in Mokauea
near the Kamehameha Girls School,
which was increased from 100000 to
$500, 600. This was returned by the Es
tate last year at $4,000 and accepted by
the assessor at that figure.
The increase. is accounted for by the
big raise in the value of property in
that neighborhood
Another piece of property had been
increased from $3.50 to $50, 900, and a
piece of land at King and Alakea streets
from $4,000 to $4,000. The Kapiolani
property in Kalihi-uka was raised from
s. GOO TO $4,000. This is d tract of 40. 26
acres.
Mr.. McClanahan objected strenuously
to- these increases, introducing evidence
to show that the action of the assessor
was not warranted. In closing his ar
gument he said:
1T seems to me there must be some
thing the matter with the present adj
ministration, which has increased
taxes generally all over the city. l
don't think the conditions warrant any
such action. Why, the property of the
Kapiolani Estate has been increased in
some cases from one to fourteen times
that of last years return. which was
accepted by the assessor. can see no
reason for this outrageous increase"
The. total increase in the assessable
valuation of the Kapiolani Estate is
1891. 1000, not quite third of a million
dollars. The hearing on the remaining
appeals of the Estate will be held this
afternoon.
The appeals of Emily Mehrtens and
c. r. Rookie were also considered yes

The settlement of fifteen appeals was
announced by Mr.. Pratt to the court a

The Republican nine will challenge
the winner of Saturdays game. 1t has
been suggested that the contest be
brought off in the Jail yard and that

the roofing in the press games will be

spective circulation editors. Such a
course is very commendable, for if the
circulation editors kept score, they
would hardly be able to preserve their
regulations for veracity in the face of
