FALSE ECONOMY.


Great CONSERVATION has been caused
In the ranks of Hilo teachers by the
announcement from Honolulu of the
proposed reduction of 20 per cent in
school teachers salaries. Retrench-
ment by cutting down the present
meagre salaries of the splendid corps
Of teachers of Hawaii is a very short
sighted policy. There is no royal or
rapid road to learning and teacher
must spend several years of study and
application to prepare himself or her
self for the work of educating the army
OF children growing up to manhood and
womanhood. A school teacher Is
Obliged to perform a period of proba-
ton in teaching before he or she re-
ceives fairly remunerative salary,
and the present scale of wages for this
class of skilled labor Is entirely too
small a compensation for the training
and preparation required of public
school teachers. The Hawaiian Islands
have established for themselves an en-
viable reputation In the matter OF pub
lie schools. and the high standard Of
education of its youth. This has been
possible only by means of a splendid
school system of employing only the
best teachers to preside over our pub
/ lie schools. The unfortunate school
teacher, aside from the annoyance and
embarrassment of being unable for the
past several months to collect their
earnings on account of repudiated
treasury warrants now is confronted
with the prospect of a cut in salaries.
which will force many to seek employ
mont I'm nj hpr. walks pf life This is
heaping insult upon injury and the
teachers have good cause to be indig-
nant. The Territory can i'll afford to
economic by substituting cheap teach
ers for the present high grade Of learn
ing which has marked the teaching
force of the Islands and made ignor-
ance In all classes in Hawaii the excep-
ton and not the rule.

THE SALARIES OF TEACHERS.
tSan Francisco Chronicle.l

San Francisco Chronicle.l
The Board Of Education has asked
the Supervisors for sufficient NOV o"
to make the minimum salary Of teach
ers $50 per month instead Oh SOJ. IneIe
can be no question of the justice OF this
request. No teacher can pay board In
this city, dress neatly, as is expected OF
teachers, pay street car fares and pro-
vide herself with such reading matter
as Is essential to successful teaching on
$50 per month. Much less can she
take part in the general life of the
city. which broadens the mind by con-
tact with men and women, and Offsets
the narrowing effect OF constant asso-
citation with children. Neither does
that salary justify mourning the cost
Of the education and equipment now re-
quired of teacher. AS matters stand
there is no inducement to any enter
prising young lady to enter our
schools, for they can do much better
elsewhere. Those who have homes
here are constantly tempted to do 1t,
but they became dissatisfied the mo-
nent they are in the department, for.
with every care possible, they cannot
lay by a dollar unless largely support
ed by relatives. The present minimum
salary is neither just to the teachers
nor is It for the good of the schools,
The younger teachers, who should
have most enthusiasm. are all discon-
, tented, and disconnected teachers
make lifeless schools.
Another gross injustice Is the long
period-ten years-required to reach
the maximum salary. No such ar
arrangement, 1t may safely be said, ex-
lists in any other city in the United
States. A teacher of two years expe-
rience is as good teacher as she ever
will be, and should receive the full sal
airy. Every one familiar with our city
schools can point out numberless cases
where, of two teachers, working side
by side in the same building, doing
equally difficult work and doing 1t

PRIMITIVE HooSIER CABINS.
Dwellings Constructed by tho EarH
er Settlers In Indiana.

Dwellings Constructed ~ t20 RoLnsS
er Settlers In Indiana.
In the primitive Hoosier cabin-rough,
uncouth, simple abodes-more genuine
happiness has been enjoyed than In all the
fine, costly mansions in the great city Of
New York. Thousands Of wealthy, re-
spectacle men and women are living to-
day who were born, reared and married In
such humble cabins. And there are mil
lions of people living today who have no
idea how these cabins are constructed.
The pioneer from some Of the old east.
ern or southern states, with his wife, SIX
or eight children, gun and dog, would
come to Greene county In bis covered
wagon, which was the family abode until
he erected his cabin, which was construct
ed thus: Cut about 40 logs or 10
inches in diameter, 20 Of them 16 feet long
and 30 of them IA feet long; slope the
ends of half and notch the other half to
flt; put chunks in the cracks Of the logs
and daub them with mud The gables
were made of shorter logs until reaching
what Is called the comb, the ends sloped
down to suit the pitch Of the roof.
It being now ready for covering, cut
poles 5 to 8 inches In diameter, 16 feet
long, or the length of the house, notch
them down on the gables about 81 feet
apart. Cut down large oak tree, square
the butt and saw cuts four feet long, split
than In blocks about six inches square,
take frow and rive boards half an insh
thick, lay them lengthwise on the afore-l
said poles or rafters, breaking joints;,
weight them down with small poles. You
are now ready for the floors. Cut poles
six inches in diameter, length the width
Of the cabin, for lower joists; place them
about four feet apart; cut atree-general-
ly linn or some soft wood-saw logs about
six or eight feet long; split into slabs
about three inches thick; hew smooth.
With these make the floor. The door 10

longer. The fastening Is q wooden Latch.

Ore window, IA by 16 inches, has greas.
ed paper for glass. The ceiling Is. made
with poles for joists covered with clap
boards.
Now comes the most scientific meohan-,
ical part of cabin bu!lding-the fireplace
and chimney. Saw out about six feet
wide out Of one end Of the house, SIX feet,
high from the ground; case up the aper-|
ture. Inclose this aperture, extending,
back far enough for the back wall Of the.
fireplace and as high as the aperture.
Now dig yellow clay, dampen and with q
small maui beat down and form the,
hearth, jambs and back wall Generally
the jambs and back wall are about q foot,
thick Now split sticks the proper length
for the size Of the chimney-the sticksI
about an inch thick and ~ wide. Mako,
mortar of the yellow clay and build your,
chimney to the desired height. This makes
comfortable dwelling without nails,
glass or paint. Move in and have q "hoe'
