THE TEACHER QUESTION.

In the following rambling remarks
their is no intention of argument for or
against anybody's theories or ideals, but
just to note some facts that are patent to
-everybody's observation.
theoretically, there is no institution Of
more practical importance than our pub
lie schools. They are the foundation OF
our Americanism, though. as a matter
of fact, until within the last score of years
one half of this country had but few com.
mon schools, and even yet the little red
school house IS rare sight south OF the
Mason and Dixon line, as we'll as in 9th.
er large sections Of our country.
The schools of the present day in cost.
teachers. books and other paraphernalia
are far in advance of those of fifty or a
hundred years ago, but the standard Of
scholarship Of the pupils is not very
much, if any, greater. than then, though
the number taught in proportion to pop
ulationis undoubtedly greater.
There is very properly desire to ele-
yate the common school system to a
higher plane educatlonally, until the >city
high school is now sort of academy or
the beginning ola university. There is
a determined and marked effort to com
pei teachers to complete the higher
branches and to graduate from the nor
NAL schools. #
But the high schools contain but few
of the pupils who enter the lower de-
partments.
Three quarters Of the public schools
have from six to sixteen pupils whose
ages range from six to sixteen years and
whose highest probable requirement isto

A STRANGE BUSINESS MATTER.

There's man or two in almost every
community, who, from November to
August, can't get trusted for cheap suit
of Clothes who has no regular means of
support, fiddles around during the spring
and summer at various odd schemes that
he thinks will pay big, but which always
fail, but about the first of August he buys
$1,000 threshing outfit, hires about ten
teams and twenty-five men, and goes
threshing. Sometimes he makes enough
to pay his men and his store bills for pro-
visions, and if anything is left it goes to
pay for the machine. Generally, about
the third season, the manufacturers take
back the outfit on the chattel mortgage,
after perhaps $500 has been paid on the
principal, and the machine is now worth
about the same amount at second hand
prices.
But that don't phaze the thresherman.
Next season he will go and buy new
machine and do the same thing over.
Ofcourse, there are a lot of incidental
matters. which go with this style of doing
business, which will occur to the mind of
the farmer reader, and often to his pock-
et-but what we wonder most at is how
the threshlng machine manufacturers can
stand it?
Nothing is more certain than that only
few of the best managers can make
threshing pay, and vet the manufacturers
will sell a machine without money-to
fellows who have failed anywhere from
one to half dozen times at the business.

Inflicted With Suicidal Intent

The coroner's jury who investigat-
ed the death Of the japanese woman
Ito, returned the following vrdict
yesterday: "That the eaid Kihu Ito
came to her death at Iwilei from a
gunshot wound Inflicted by a bullet
from loaded revolver held ia the
hands OF said Kiku Ito, SAID wound
being inflicted with suicidal intent" !"

THURSDAY, MAY Is, 1902.
SETTLED, BUT is IT oLcs1DP

The incident is closed, for the
time being at least.
The Board OF Health yesterday
rescinded its former action and
granted Father Wendehn permits
sion to remain at the Leper ST.
tlement, son the distinct under
standing that Father Wendelin at
tends strictly to his clerical duties
in the future"
Yesterdays action OF the Board OF
Health has been declared as "per-
fectly satisfactory" to the citizens
committee, but whether it will
prove to be "psrlectIy satisfactory"
to the Catholic citizens of this
community is another story.
However it may be, it is we'll now
that the famous controversy has en-.
tered upon a new stage to pass in
review certain things for which the
case will remain notorious.
First OF all comes the question::
Why did the Board OF Health re-
quest the removal OF Father Wen-
delin? AS tie Board OF Health has
not seen fit to give anything ont for
publication in this matter, the pub
lie is compelled to guess and Judge
for itself Up to this very minute
not single charge Of misconduct
or breach of regulations has been
brought forward against the priest.
We have the word Of Ambro7e X.
Hutchison (aud wa believe it with
out reserve) that Father Wendelin
had nothing 10 do with the charges
brought against M. Reynolds aneut
the Pilipo Mikila matter; we have
the assurance OF the priests OF the
Catholic Mission that Father Wen
delln has not done anything else
but his plain duty,
Why was his removal requested?
Then we have the mysterious
actions Of the Board of Health,
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1902-05-15

Again, in the courae of human
events, another friend has been
removed from our midst by death
in the person OF the late Robert
Lishman, aud very sad ending at
that, which is most painful! to re-.
cord. The Hawaiian people have
again shared an ir'epara6le loss in
his dramatic ending OF a most
worthy and useful career, and who
have raised worthy scious OF a
worthy man aud father. Ee wa,
indeed a tried and worthy friend,
and withal true and stauuch against
