THE BOOK CONTRACT.

i ~ f-sse
A. f. Gums proposal to bind the pu-
pills of the public schools of Hawaii to
the publications of the American Book
Company. otherwise known as the
Book Trust, is still pending with the
Commissioners of Public instruction.
1t was taken up early in the school
year, and after the evils of the propos-
ed contract were fully exposed in the
advertiser, committee of leading
teachers was appointed to make rec
concentrations OF textbooks deemed
most suitable for the needs OF present
day instruction.
Since that committee was appointed
| it has not held meeting to consider
the proposal of other book concerns.
nor has it been possible, it is under
stood, to have meeting called by the
chairman of the committee. who is the
inspector general of schools. Members
of the committee have often asked that
the chairman call a meeting, but for
one reason and another the call has
been deferred, and today the depart
ment is still clinging to the old con-
tract with the American Book Com
pany, whose contract in reality. how
ever, expired last February.
only publications of the trust were in
troduced in the schools. The trust has
had a monopoly, and the schools are
dependent upon it entirely for their
text books. According to the contract
none but the trust publications could
be introduced here, and as a result the
schools of Hawaii, as has been pointed
out in the Advertiser, are using text
II; at, o;,,I, 70,
ern class work. and which are out Of
date.
Mr. Gum, the agent of the trust for
the Pacific Coast, was here last year
with a proposal to renew the contract.
The character of that contract was ex-
posed by the Advertiser but the adop-
ton of the new contract offered by the
trust was apparently defeated, al
though the matter is still pending be-
fore the commissioners. Until action
is taken by the committee and the COM
missioners the advantages of the pres
ent dilatory tactics remain with the
trust and the disadvantages with the
school children of this Territory.
The committee of teachers was ap-
pointed to recommend new textbooks
for the schools of the islands. That
committee has never reported upon any
changes to be recommended, and this.
1t is understood, is not the fault of the
members of the committee, for the
reasons stated.
1t is understood that most all of the
teachers on the committee are in favor
of having the best and newest text
books for the school children, which
they cannot get from the American
Book Company

The statement of Senator McLaurin
that the Republicans may begin to win
the South over of they will affiliate
with the responsible classes there, Is
gospel according to all the saints. No
party ever made anything by allying
itself with ignorance and vice and de-
handing that they shall rule the land.
The carpet-bag lesson after the war
should have taught the Republicans
wisdom, not only at home, but in the
Colonies. The Democrats of the North,
by tying themselves to ignorant Euro
pean peasantry have lost several good
chances to carry Northern States. The
same causes in both political parties
have brought the same results.

UNEASY LEGISLATURES.

The Home Rulers have found another
mares nest They think the records of
the late Legislative session have been
tempered with, and they propose to
have a committee go and see. If they
| find that the Journal is now in Wash
ington, perhaps they will send an en-
bassy there at once. That would be like
them, providing they did not individ-
ually have to pay the transportation
/ bill.
! What the Home Rulers fear is that
the truth about their simian absurdities
has been injected into the expurgated
account of routine proceedings which
| the Legislature approved from day to
day. The impression is not true, of
course, but that does not allay the
nervousness of men who had rather do
consideration, than to have the truth
about them go to Washington in Off
cial black and white.

easy solons that Washington has plen-
ty OF sources of information about
them and that If any one In the Gov

wholly unnecessary. Since the House
expelled Secretary Cooper, not only
from the floor, but from the spectators
end of the hall, Washington has used
other eyes and made scrapbook of the
newspaper reports. All the Legislature
has done and left undone is known at
headquarters: moreover, the ashland
anti-fowl scheme of the Home Rulers
to be anti-Republicans in Hawaii and
pro- Republicans at the Federal capital
is as well known to the President as it
is to Governor Dole

Representative Beckley is due to ar

Eggs Should be Sold by the Pound

Eggs Should be old by the Pound
| The North Carolina experiment sta
ton a issued q strong argument
tagainst the custom of selling eggs by
the dozen instead Of by the pound. It
lis strange that We should cling to this
foolish and unfair method Of market
ling eggs. France, and in act all Of
Europe, sell them by weight rather than
lby count
And why not? The North Carolina
experiments show hat where a large
number OF eggs were weighed they
Ishowed a difference of 100 per cent. be-
tween the largest and the smallest. If
"a small egg is worth m cent, 1T is per-
lfectly onable that one twice its size
lshuold bring two cents. The food value
OF the egg depends upon its size n
weight, but the market value merely
upon the fac that it is an egg One
might as well buy his potatoes by the
dozen

the eggs we must buy to have them sold

lays small eggs Of inferior quality gets
