RAISE TEE
Not SO ManySchools, but Better
Schools-A Suggestion.

Should our schools be fewer in nun

yes and l think, as many others, that
by consolidating" our public schools
it will give us the thing we wish.
| have been teaching for the past
seven years, and never before was this
so forcibly impressed upon my mind
as it was a few weeks ago, when a gen.
tleman of this county told me hat he
was sending about $500 to Benton
county this year that his boys might be
educated. There are other fathers
sending, even more than that. The
parents of this county are sacrificing
much that they may educate their chill
dren. No few of them have sent their
loved ones to some far-away city to be
schooled, but because their well laid
plans have failed to bring in the neces.
sary means, their children are com
PEELED to be brought home, thus de-
priying them Of the opportunities
which would make them u solid rock
in the wall of national usefulness.
Now, if our rural districts will unite,

ers the state affords, they can do it
with the same money that is expended
IN The several districts which make up
the one. This will give them at least
eight months school curing the year.
Then this great expense will be cut
down, the boys and girls can be kept at
home and still have the advantage OF as
good schooling as can be obtained in
any Of our secondary schools.
Looking Mt things just rs they are,
we can see other reasons why the dis.
tricts should bc united. One of these
is Co keep from squandering the school
funds. Many Of the rural boards are
compelled 10 hire some little girl. with
Il very limited experience, for from $50
to 500. 80, and sometimes less, per month.
Such teachers soon tire OF their lot,
and poor work is the result. Often
they leave for their valley homes before
their three months are up, aud the
directors OF the poor, unfortunate dis
trict are compelled to run hither aud
thither, like the hunted fox that is
chase hy the hounds, for some Que to
teach enough TO make out the three
months, 50 they will not lose their dis
trict.
Consolidation is the bridge that
spans all such streams to be crossed.
Don't tell me that the pareuts could
not arrange for their little mes to go 50
far as they would have to ii this plan
was carried out, for in this district 80.
~ at present families from six OF the
surrounding districts and some Ave OF
six families who live in the remote part
of this one have moved 20 the little
burg that their children might attend
more than tho three months school

What is Doing in
Fourth and
Fifth.
Sizing Up Candidates.
McCants as a
Judge.

Not for many years has Honolulu
seen so much excitement prior to an i'm
portant political convention as has been
experienced this week. At every street
corner, and at quarter spaces between
the corners, politicians, statesmen and
the would-bes have been busily grouped
IN little knots wire-pulling for their
friends who have already proclaimed
themselves as candidates and for those
more tinlid who would like to be candi-
dates.
For the Senate there are three va
'cancies, to fill the expiring terms of
Senators Brown, Crabbe and Kalauo-
16alaui The Republicans hope to elect
all three of their successors and, as the
indications are that this will be great
Republican year, the Republicans have
wisely determined to put good men in
the field. thus strengthening their pros
poets of success Crabbe has retired
from the Legislative field content with
the laurels he has gained, and is now
hoping TO distinguish himself In some
Federal or Territorial Office. Cecil
Brown, who has served the Territory
under the monarchy. under the provis-
ional government and under the United
States flag, seems to have lost. some of
his popularity with the workers of the
Republican party. His friends, however,
have made gallant fight for him and
claimed yesterday that his nomination
was a certainty and that he would take
the place of lack Dowsett as the Sena-
torial candidate from the Fourth.
On the other hand, the friends of E.
Faxon Bishop and Dovsett are both
equally certain of victory for their ia
vorites even though they have been OPP
posed by men Ike Alex. Robertson and
Frank Thompson, with the support of
Plumber Quinn thrown in. The only
real sign OF discord evident last night
was in the Ninth precinct OF the Fifth
district which has a candidate for sena-
foriai honors, Ned Adams, in opposition
to Tohn Lane It is conceded on all
sides that Lane is by far the stronger
party man and that he can secure and
hold good many more votes IN the
Fifth than Adams will be able to do.

Farr's case has been under eonsidera-

RAIN FELL LAST
NIGHT IN TORRENTS

shortly after eleven o'clock last night
there was heavy downpour of rain
resembling a cloudburst. In five min
utes the streets in the business section
were anoat. The storm came just after
the Said Pasha audience had got out
and scores OF people had their clothes
ruined. There was a general rush for
shelter. It was the first heavy down
pour of the season and it brought tbe
recent drouth to a sudden end.

teurs last night under the direction OF
Hugo Herzer and James Dougherty for
the benefit of the Myrtle Boat Club,
proved distinct success and delighted

The opera with its scenes cast in
Orient lands of Egypt and Hindostan
where imagination may run riot among
Jewels and silks, satins and laces, half
beauties whose charms are enhanced by
the splendor and fashion of their ma

withal an expensive one to stage, but the
production of last evening was lavish in
every detail of its presentment. The
choruses were larger than any yet gath
cred together on a local stage and
changes of gorgeous rairnent were fire.
quent The spectacle at all times was
brilliant one and must have made ex-
tersive inroads on the receipts. The
Myrtles have undoubtedly literally
shared their benefit with the public.
The performance throughout was
smooth, with practically no bitches, and
aside from the singers, reflects great
credit on Messrs. Doughertv and Her
ger who made their bow as producers
last evening. The chorus work was
markedly good, both in volume and
quality, evenly balanced as to parts and
showing every evidence of long and
careful training. Not all the regular
stage business of the opera was utilized
but there were no dull moments and no
waits. The orchestra under Kappell-
meister Berger was effective. Mich OF
the polish of the general performance
was due to the action OF the ladies
choruses and the introduced dances, to
which credit. I believe, should be ex-

Il want to suggest to YOU that you
let our friends understand that our
prospects for success in the nation
are very brigt.
The outlook in the state is very
bright L see no reason to expect any
falling off in our majority in the Leg

majority will be, in my Judgment, as
large as it WAS in our last election.
There is every reason, however, that
full vote should be polled. First, as
a protest against RoOseveltism: and
second, as an endorsement of the
splendid work the Democratic party
has been and is doing in the state.
Yours truly.

PARIS, Feb 3.-A Washington dis patch printed here saying the United States, France and Great Britain were likely to take action having tha effect of isolsting Japan if she persisted in being intransigent attracted much at tention and comment. Some of the pa pers gave 1t sensational prominence, sa aying peace would become certain if Great Britain and the United States abstained from supporting Japan.
