TEACHERS SALARIES OUGHT
TO BE PAID BY LAND SALES

Editor Advertiser: In my frequent
early morning walks 1 had noticed the
industry displayed by a japanese JAM
tor of one of the large schools and had
formed a passing acquaintance with
him. The other morning he told me he
was ''pilikia." That he had received
notice that his services We're to be dis
pensed with because the government
had no more money. That he had sent
all his money to Japan, about $4,000,
and now could not get money enough
to go home. As he told me he had been
in the country a little above seven
years 1 thought he had done pretty we'll
to have saved so much money.
On being asked who was to take
charge of the large school and grounds
he said the teachers would have to
sweep their respective rooms and clean
the windows but he did not know who
would care for the grounds which had
been kept so beautifully. He also said
that he heard the salaries Of the teach
ers were to be reduced.
Poor Jap, how little he knew of
American institutions. If there is one
thing above another that we do appce-
sure none of us go to the schools to
show an interest and by our presence
to encourage the teachers. We take it
for granted they are all right. We place
on, in 10 of on
and women who act as teachers, and
are careful that their moral characters
are good. We think we have done our
duty when we have dressed and pack
ed off the children to school.
Education is the thing par excellence
the American does appreciate. Even in
its early days the people of the United
States, with a God-given wisdom, set
aside one-thirty-sixth of Ill its lands
to be devoted to educational purposes.
This, however, is nothing compared TO
the millions which the people have as
sessed themselves to maintain schools.
In a convention of either of the great
political parties, when it is in order to
nominate a school superintendent, it is
considered almost sacrilege ID advance
the name of one whose fitness in every
way for the position is unknown. AS
consequence whichever party is vic
torious a good man is invariably elect
ed. The millions of dollars in the con-
troll of the Boards of Education, of
which these superintendent are the
executive officers and advisers, is dis
pensed amongst the thousands of teach
ers with less political chicanery than in
any other branch of the government.
All of them have different methods of
determining the stipends of teachers.
In Hawaii teachers salaries are regu-
lated by a carefully prepared schedule,
and are based on, (a) grade and size of
school, OBJ class of certificate held, and
(c) length of satisfactory service. Men
and women filing corresponding posi-
tons, and having equal certificates and

TITLE CASE
is DECIDED
Ahmi Loses His Case
Against a Host of
Defendants.

Chief Justice Frear is author of a
unanimous decision of the Supreme
Court, affirming the judgment of the
Circuit Court of the First Circuit in. the
long-pending suit of S. Ahmi VS.. Annie
Waller, Lii Cheung, L. F. Alvarez, En-
incline NJ. Magoon, Emily K. Mehrtens,
Helen n. Rosa, Mabel c. Ladd, Emily
L. Laid, Chinese Young Mems Chris

kumaka Halualani, Liwai Koeleele and
Absalom Uululaula, minors, by their
guardian ad litem, Kakakumaka Ha-
lualani, Edward Hore and En- Syak
Aseu. The judgment of the court below
is affirmed. c. w. Ashford and T. Me-
Giants Stewart for plaintiff; Robertson
& Wilder, Kinney & Mechanism, j. a.
Magoon, j. Lightfoot and E. A. Dou-
thitt for defendants.
Following is the opinion of the court
in part:
1.-THE action below was statutory
action to quiet the title to a piece of
land at Kaakopua, Honolulu, covered
by r. p PIT, L. C. a. 1905, issued to
KaIaau The plaintiff claimed by deed
from Mrs. Rowland, who was kala-
aus devisee. The defendants claimed
deeds made by Kalaau to one
Alakema Naone, and by the latter TO
Kapika, who was Kalaau's wife and
who, after Kalaaus death, married said
Naone. These were the deeds that were
the subject of the decision in Rowland
VS.. Naone, Haw. 30S.
1.-TWO alleged errors are relied on,
namely, that the trial Judge erred %
in directing the jury to return a verdict
for the defendants, and ~ in allowing
the defendants to ask the plaintiffs
witness, Naone, certain questions, which
were objected to as not proper cross
examination.
1.-THE question of the propriety of di
recting the verdict resolves itself into
the question of the construction of the
iced from Kalaau. That deed of course.
in so far as it is effective, prevails over
the will The question is whether it

A FAIR EXCHANGE.

Large sums OF money are no
doubt realized from simple spec
ulation, but the great fortunes
are derived from legitimate and
honest business--where the goods
furnished are worth the price
they bring. Certain famous bust
ness men have accumulated their
millions wholly in this way.
Prompt and faithful in every
contract or engagement they en-

be advertised with a noise like
the blowing of a thousand trum-
pets, but it is soon detected and

experience, receive the same pay. 1t
has been our boast that the Educational
Department takes a justifiable pride in
the fact that its teachers are paid reg
ularly and promptly. Warrants on the
Treasury for salaries are dated on the
last day of the month and are always
paid on presentation. The average an
nual salaries of teachers is $3.50 but
more than half of them get much less,
in fact one-third of the whole number
receive less than $50 per month.
There would be neither reason nor
justice in reducing these salaries, and,
the rapidly increasing school popula-
ton demands more schools and more
teachers. Especial arrangements should
be made whereby teachers would not
be compelled to have their warrants
shaved by some Shylock or their limited
salaries reduced through any pseudo
economical process.
In its solicitude for education Con-
gress in passing the joint resolution an
nexing Hawaii came very near devoting
all the public lands of the islands to
educational purposes, and still has the
power to do so. Section of the reso-
luton reads: THE existing laws of the
United States relative to public lands
shall not apply to such lands on the
Hawaiian Islands, but the Congress of
the United States shall enact special
laws for their management and dis
position; provided, that all revenue or
proceeds of the same, except as regards
such part thereof as may be used or
occupied for the civil, military or naval
purposes of the United States, or may
be assigned for the use of the local gov
eminent, shall be used solely for the
of nh "a of he Ia
waiian Islands for educational and 9TH
er public purposes
The Organic Act empowers the legis-
lature to authorize loans for the erec-
ton of educational institutions. This
has been taken advantage of and some
schools are under way. The direct
school tax of $500 per capita is INSULT
cient to pay the salaries of teachers
and if there is a deficiency in the treas
ury to pay these under-paid servants of
ours, to whom we are indebted for the
moral and educational characters of
our children then other over-paid Off
GERS should be made to wait for their
monthly salaries.
1t is a question which requires con-
sideration whether it would not be wise
to go to Congress with the suggestion
that all public lands on the Islands
should be devoted to educational pur-
poses. We would then have a con-
tinually increasing income for the sup
port of our schools, could bond the Ter
ritory for the erection of the buildings
which our grandchildren are to inherit,
and could appropriate from other
sources Of revenue such amounts as
would be necessary, together with the
direct tax, to sustain them.
Any matters pertaining to education,
suggested to Congress, receive almost
universal support from its members and
it is the belief of the writer that if the
foregoing was brought to it's attention
Congress would Immediately pass an
act setting aside all the public lands.
and such escheats as may take place in
time, for educational purposes.

by the patent, as commended by the de-
PENDANTS, or only 15-1O0 of an acre as
contended by the plaintiff. The descrip-
ton in the deed TRANSLATED from the
Ha waiian) is, all that piece of land sit
uate at Kaakopua, Honolulu, Island of
Oahu, containing an area OF 15-1Q0 of
an acre and being the same described
by metes and bounds in Royal Patent
number 217.' The description in the
patent is a full description by courses
and distances, adjoining lands and a
diagram, and concludes (translated).
this piece contains 5-1O0 acre, more or
less The question is whether the de-
scription of the area in the deed or the
particular description in the patent
which is referred to in the deed, should
control"
After disposing of this question the
court goes on to the next, thus:
THE other alleged error relied on is
that after the PLAINTIFFS witness, Ma
one, had testified on direct examination
as TO the relationship of various parties
and as to who We're living on the land,
and, on cross-examination without OBJ
lection, that Kalaau had devised the
property to Mrs. Rowland and that the
witness had married Kalaau's widow
and had lived on the land, he was al
lowed to be asked further on cross
examination against objection, a num-
Der of questions, such as, how did you
happen to live on the land, when did
you marry her. did you not live on the
land after the death of Kalaau and be-
fore you married his widow etc
This second point is reviewed at
length, the court thus concluding:
Great care of course should be ex-
ercised in seeing that the cross-exam-
ination is not extended unreasonabIy
far and the rule that it should be con-
fined to matters brought out on the
direct examination should be observed,
but when, as here, no harm resulted,
this Court should not set aside the YER
dict. These questions are discussed
more fully in Booth VS.. Beckley, IL
Haw. 51S.'
AS to the law of the entire case the
syllabus speaks in this wise:
I'm a deed of all that piece of land
situate at =, containing 1900 of
an acre and being the same described
by metes and bounds in a certain royal
patent, the area of the land described
in the patent being 1 5-100 of an acre,
the description in the patent controls.
AN allowance of undue latitude in
the cross examination of one of plain
tiff's witnesses, resulting in bringing
put matters of defense, is not revers-
ible error, unless the plaintiff is pref
udiced thereby"
