SCHOOL TEACHERS
RETIRING FUND

! Plans are on to ask the next legis-
Hawaiian Teachers Retirement Fund
The matter was brought before the
meeting of the Honolulu branch of the
Territorial Teachers Association, held
/ last night at the High School. Reports
have been received as TO the manner
in which such funds are started and
maintained in Massachusetts and Cali
fornia. The fund is for teachers who
may realize from ii when they become
disabled, i'll or incapacitated. The plan
was outlined at the meeting by Prof.
Law on blackboard as follows: The
fund TO be controlled by a board of
trustees, consisting of the Superintend-
ent and Secretary of the Board of Edu-
cation. ex-officio members. and six
teachers. The Territorial Treasurer is
TO have charge of all moneys. The
funds are to be obtained from a deduc-
tion of $50 annufly from members
salaries. grants from the legislature,
donations. legacies, interest. etc.
2 The membership is open to all teach
ers and others drawing regular salaries
from the Education Department, pro-
vided they contribute $40 yearly for 80
years. or 5000. or a part of 5000 at any
time. A member retired or incapaci-
tated may draw from the fund in any
amount proportionate to the sum paid
in. Those who retire from the profess
sion shall be allowed To withdraw the
amount they shall have paid in.
Prof Law endorsed the proposition
heartily. He said that in Boston con-
tributions to the fund were compulsory.
There the teachers paid in SIS year,
and in San Francisco the annual dues
were SI5. In Boston only half the
amount paid in could be withdrawn if
a teacher retired from the profession. |
In San Francisco a series of concerts
to aid the fund had brought in $4,000 !
Dr Rodgers. secretary OF the Board !
OF Education favored the organization |
OF such a fund. He thought the gov
ernment should pension all teachers
who had spent the best part Of their
lives in the training OF children. There !
were some here who had taught for 80 |
years There were 2TO teachers in the
Islands, and they were not all paid the
best OF salaries. The greater number
did not have much of an opportunity
to keep a deposit in the banks. and
fund Of this nature would be an ad-
vantage. Miss Felker. principal Of Ka-
shumanu School. favored the estab-
fishing of the fund. There were philan-
-hropists in Hawaii whom she thought
y ould willingly contribute toward 1t.
The regular program for the evening
consisted OF singing by rhe pupils or
school. and a violin solo

The Mule Kicked.

An amusing scene was witnessed yes
terday on Kewalo street, in which a
Japanese and a mule were the prin-
cipal actors. The mule was attached
to dump-cart loaded with dirt. The
animal refused to bulge when the Jap
wanted him to start, and the latter be-
labored the brute, the only response be-
ing a lowering of the ears, and an evil
CLEAN appearing in the mules eyes.
The Jap finally reached the mules
head in his essay at corporal punish
ment. There was just one blow when
something happened. The mule woke
up. gave leap and jumped clean out
of his harness, leaving the cart un0al-
anced. The latter tipped over back
wards. spilling the load and the driv-
er upon the street. The author of the
trouble ran for short distance ana
then stopped and faced about. Per-
sons who witnessed the affair state
that the mule wore broad. malicious
grin as he viewed the wreckage.

= Attorneys, preachers, teachers, pol

need very little exercise beyond what
they get in the way of their business.
But people run down in health should
talk very little, as 1t takes too much
out of them.
The natural inclination to shout Is
50 strong that there can be no doubt
tnat IT serves q useful purpose. It
mas a wonderful effect in producing
and intensifying enthusiasm, as may
be observed at theaters, public meet
ings, etc.
Boys cannot play without shout
ing. Probably the reason of this is
that, when making any great effort,
we usually hold out breath-a very
injurious thing to do. Shouting pre-
vents this and, as boys cannot be ex-
pected to know the laws of health, ma
ture has given theme the instinct to
shout
Even signing has it's advantages.
The belief that at every sigh the
heart loses a drop Of blood is far from
being correct. On the contrary. what
happens is that long and deep
breath is taken, and the blood is well
aerated. Signing. in fact, arises from
shallow breathing.
w AAC1A VIC oil QSpT0SSGQ OF weary,
or when our attention is much en-
gagged, we take very shallow and in
complete inspirations. Soon the blood
becomes impure, and, to remove that
1mpurity, we take greatly prolonged
breath. which is signing.

else. 1t produces a strong contraction

dozen ydWnS on getting llD in the

the whole human race, showing, prob
ABLY, that they are necessary to good
health. The more civilized we become
the less we indulge in them. And it
is not at all unlikely that that mysteri-
Gus decay of great nations which sets
in when they have. reached a high
stage of civilization is due to their
neglect to shout, cry, laugh and yawn
enough.

A GOOD MOTTO.
In "redding up" a room, In good old
Scotch parlance, it became suddenly

been showing to a friend, and so on in
an almost endless chain. If, in each
case, the one using book, paper, pencil
or picture had striven to restore things
to exactly the condition they were in

Sunshine? What is it? 1t is the true
light of love shining out from the heart
of God and radiated through every willing
disciple. 1t is that which impels US to
little acts OF Kindness, little kindly deeds

out. No life is complete without it. 1t is
the fortitude of invalids and shut-ins. 1t
keeps our natures buoyed above the IA

see life through glasses that need no pol

to embrace it. If it isn't Fart of you
now, get it quickly.
Say only kindly things about every one;
learn to smile; overlook the petty injuries
to your sensitive mind, and above ALL
keep doing something for others. What
better motto could we take than the

months later she leased her big town
house and took up her residence in one
of the new apartment houses on the
Lake shore drive, where a large domes-
tic establishment is not needed.
Then followed the women of Will
mette, a fashionable suburb on the
North shore. They decided that what
their cooks and maids lacked was a
wide acquaintance with literature and
music. A club was organized, which
met at the houses Of it's members,
whose servants were all invited to at
tend and listen to programmes of class
ical music, and readings from Shakes
peare and Browning. The plan prom
ised well, and failed only because, after
the first few meetings, the maids failed
to come.
Last of all is the Chicago Housewives
association, formed recently on the
South side, with designs on the re-
mainder Of the city if it's work proves
successful. 1t will establish a course
of lectures on domestic science for the
benefit of the servants of it's members,
and will also erect and furnish build
ing where maid servants out of en-
ployment may find temporary accom-
modations. A system of references,
which shall be standard among it's
members, is also planned.

unique experiments in an effort to
put domestic service on a thoroughly
scientific and satisfactory basis. If it
is still necessary to write an interro-
cation point after the "hired-girl ques-

given these women who were not afraid
to face the problem and attempt to
solve it.

trio to state her theory and put it into
practice. Within the year announce
