to the pupils. Although this is a
small school, some of the scholars
have done excellent work, and the
average attendance shows that the
pupils here have been interested, as
some have missed only few days out
of the entire year. The register shows
no visits from directors, two from
citizens, three reports TO truant officer.
A better average attendance might be
had if all teachers were thus faithful
to their duty.
RIVER DISTRICT.
The spring term of school in this
district was taught by Lillian Fuller.
The number of pupils in this district
is only nine, and this term has an
average attendance of eight and
fraction, showing that a good interest
was taken in this term of school. Miss
Glenn Rowland taught the next two
terms and the pupils made good pro-
gress in their work. Miss Sadie Cor
ley was absent only one and one-half
days during the year and Gerald
Plunkett had no marks for the winter
term This district had no visits from
school directors and none from citi-
zens, and no truancies reported, and

and thirty-six days of absence by the

part of the teachers to report tru-
ancies.
SOUTH BARTON DISTRICT.
Miss Eva Martin has been teacher in
this school for the year. Miss Martin
is one of our best teachers. Most ex-
cellent work has been done by the
pupils and good progress has been
made. The teacher has also succeed
ed in grading this school as we'll as
possible. The winter term was some
what broken up by whooping- cough
and the school was closed for several
weeks. l have not been able to see
the register for this school since its
close. So can give no report as to
visits from directors or citizens. Susie
Lang, Dora Aldrich and Lloyd Kerr
have lost only one day each during
the year. The average attendance
| for the year has been ten and frac-
ton.
In conclusion, if there have been
any marks of progress this year, it has
been in the direction of grading the
schools. Three of the schools are
now somewhat graded. This is largely
| que 10 Tue competency OF Inc G0acn0rS
who have been employed in these dis
tricts. Excellent progress has been
made in writing. The superintendent
insisted on the pupils being taught to
write, and some, who at the begin
ming of the year could write but little,
can now write a fair hand. Most of
the school buildings are in good re-
pair and we'll furnished. Some of the
schools are lacking in maps and books.
AS citizens and parents we should
become greatly Interested in the edu-
cation of our children and no price is
too high to pay for talent, provided
that our boys and girls are getting the
proper training. I would say to the
directors, do not hire cheap teachers,
and do not let teacher 60 because
she wants dollar more per week, if
she is doing good work in the school
she is in. Keep her, by all means, as
long as she does good work. If this
method is followed, our schools will
become better, year by year.

YOUNG CHINESE
COMMIT I'D
SU|C|Dt
Lately Visited { hina But
Was Driven Out Be-
cause of MS Bow
Wong Record in no
nolu,u.

Charles F. Ali, respondent through
being driven away from his native
country, Bow Wong whom Chinese
officials prosecuted because they fear
ed his influence at home, committed
suicide about. half past ten o'clock
last night by shooting himself through
the roof of the mouth.
Ali was a highly educated young
Chinese. He wore no cue and dressed
in European fashion. Until a short
time ago he was employed by +. NJ.
Brooks to look after that lawyers
business with Chinese. Recently Ali
went to China with an idea of enter
ing college there. But his reputation
as a Bow Wong and a reformer went
with him and things We're made so warm
for him that he returned to Hawaii
week ago.
To some he told this story but to
Others he stated that he came back
Immediately because he feared his re-
gistration papers Were incorrect and
that if he remained away from Ha-
wall for any length of time he would
be unable to return but his friends
believe that he had to return from
China because of his reformer ideas.
Ali lived at a boarding house on
Vineyard street, Eva of Nuuanu
Stream. About a week ago one of his
friends bought new revolver Last
night Ali asked the friend to permit
him to inspect it. He took the revolY-
er to the door of the house as If he
wished to look it over there. In q
other Chinese rushed out, Ahis yody
was rolling down the steps of the
entrance to the house. But there was
a little life left in the body. The police
were telephoned and special officers
Renear and McDuffie responded in the
patrol wagon. The luckless Chinese
was placed there and the officers drove
for the Queens Hospital at breakneck
speed, but poor Ali died before that
place could be reached. Later the body
was removed to Williams undertaking
parlors.
An inquest will be held at which
some very interesting testimony re-
garding Ahi's connection with reform
ers and of his alleged persecution in
China may be brought out.

Talked to Napoleon.

Probably the only living man in
America who ever talked with Napole-
on Bonaparte is DIR. Johann Jacob
Eisenhut, aged 1903, of Denver. DR..
Eisenhut was born in Herisau, Appen-
zell-Ausserrhoden, Switzerland and
was farm boy. He grew up into a
stout, husky youth, looking older than
he really was. He was working in the
fields one day when. as he stopped a
moment to rest, after the fashion of
the man with the hoe. he saw soldiers
coming. In that quiet rural communi-
ty the flash of military uniform was
a novelty, and the farm boys blood
was at once on fire with the excitement
of the occasion. 1t was the army of
France on the march, led by the fight
ing Emperor, who carved continents
and whitfield out nations as cabinet
makers carved wood and sculptors
stone. Brilliantly the sun flashed on
the long line of uniforms and was re-
fiected from the polished caparisonings
of the Emperor's escort. The farm boy
leaned over the fence and looked just
as boys now look at passing troops.
The Emperor saw the boy and pulled
up his horse to speak to him.
you are a square built, stocky lad
the Emperor said. "You would make a
fine soldier
The keen eyes of the world conquer
or flashed down upon young Eisenhut
admiringly, and yet half in calcula-
ton, as If he had a mind to draft the
youth into his army. But DR.. Eisenhut
says he would have considered this a
great misfortune, He was somewhat
abashed and trembled little as he
spoke in reply to the worlds greatest
soldier:
THANK you, but have no wish to be
a soldier
The Emperor laughed. made some
joking remark to the members of his
staff and passed on. but Eisenhut al
ways remembered the meeting with
the conqueror and the look of power on
that imperial face. DIR. Eisenhut re-
calls every detail of this wonderful In
cldent.-Denver Post.
