NO HANDICAP
FOR SCHOOLS

Editor Advertiser: In your issue of
May "a l notice that some members of
the Senate are endeavoring to handicap
the Board of Education.
1t was stated by one of that honorable
| body that there was no necessity of
having so many inspectors;" another
went still further by intimating that
there is no use of having any at all,
as the present inspectors did not have
anything to do, throwing all their work
on their subordinates."
/ If the enlightened class of people re-
siding in this Territory desire to see the
rising generation become worthy citi-
zens, it is natural to suppose that the
best possible means should be employed
to gain satisfactory results. Give ade-
quate assistance to the Educational De-
partment, so tnat its endeavors in this
respect may be carried out. Sufficient APP
preparations to meet all contingencies
must be made. The number of children
attending school is increasing and, when
we take into consideration the Porto Ri
cans who have already arrived, and may
probably continue to arrive, it Is an I'M
doubted fact that more money must be
available. School buildings may have to
be enlarged, new ones built, and more
teachers employed to carry on the work
be scattered throughout the different dis
tricts, and who have attained the proper
age for attending school. If the propos-
ed appropriation be reduced (and such
idea has entered the minds of one or
more of the legislators), the number of
inspectors decreased, we shall soon find
that the old adage, Penny wise and
pound FOOLISH" Is in this particular in
stance fully illustrated. Again, speaking
of the school agents, 1t would, l think,
be an unwise step to dispense with those
officials. IL the inspectors are to shoul
der the duties of the school agents, as
one of our Senators suggested, he
should also have proposed to increase
their salaries. Consider the amount re-
CURED for travelling expenses, especially
on the Island of Hawaii where trans
portation is in many cases an arduous
undertaking. Now, If school inspector
and agent We're invested in one official,
the travelling expenses would be largely
increased, on account of additional trips
having to be made, for the inspection of
school buildings and repairs, attending to
the pay rolls of teachers, and other bus
mess which would necessarily have to be
attended to, and probably cause extra
expense. When we take into consdera-
ton all those matters, I think 1t would
be an unwise step to change the present
system. | would suggest to ''let well
enough alone"
The present method of carrying on af-
fairs appears to be satisfactory. Let us
hope that no change will be made.
Thanking you for the space allowed,
am, sir, yours respectfully

POSSIBLY A SCANDAL.
Queer Things the Attorney-General
Is Looking Into.

The Attorney Generals department
is investigating the conduct of one of
the district magistrates of the Island
of Hawaii in connection with his al
legged collision with Japanese named
Hirano, who practices medicine there
without a license. The physician" has
been once convicted and evidence is
piling up against him, as several deaths
have been directly attributable to his
bungling ignorance. 1t is charged that
the Japanese openly claims that he
cannot be again convicted, assigning as
a reason that he and the judge are a
firm" the judge supplying the drugs
for the apothecary shop which the Jap
anese runs. Startling disclosures are
said to have been made thus far in the

Poultry in Maui.

There is bushel of money in poultry
raising on Maui. With practically un-
limited demand for eggs at from thirty
to sixty cents IA dozen, and for chickens
a dollar apiece, why should there not
be? The only drawback to such an en-
terprise is the prevalence of disease
fowls on Maui but it has been
that the exercise of prop
er care will largely obviate this diff

on the island for those of small means
and a taste and talent for this indus

Salary Reduction.

There has been a considerable reduc
ton in the salaries of officials by the
Legislature, but not more than was
needed, and in some cases not SO much.
The amount for the police force on
Maui was reduced from 100000 to $35, 600,
and in justification of this it can truth
fully be urged that the volume of Grim
inal business has been largely reduced
on Maui within the past year or two.
The News does not favor the reduction
of the salaries of the policemen, but
the chances are that there will not be
so many police needed in the future on
