Editor Advertiser: have read with
great interest the numerous complaints
in your columns, which were entered
against the excess of homework given
! by teachers. Let me say that the last
| four years of any high school cover a
great deal of work which cannot wholly
be done in school, and I think that any
reasonable person ought to understand
| that a good deal of outside work must
be done by the students. No boy or
girl can expect to graduate from any
| high school and qualify for an entrance
to college without doing vast amount
of work out of school hours.
Many students take up more studies
than they can possibly do justice to, and
which require an average of one hour
or more for study Now four studies are
sufficient to graduate any pupil from
high school. Still many ambitious
students are not satisfied with this num-
Der of studies, and insist on taking six
or more studies. This is without doubt
going to excess. as each one of the
studies requires, as have already stated,
one or more hours oaily for study The
pupil naturally falls behind in some of
the studies, and when a bad report
cores home, he complains of not having
enough time for home work.
Now, | think that five studies are
quite sufficient for any boy or girl to
take at one time Allow me to suggest
the following studies as an example:
First-English.
Second-French, German, Latin or
Greek
Thiro-Mathematics.
Fourth-History
Fifth-Chemistry Physics or Physical /
Geography.
These studies are quite sufficient to
allow a student to enter any college in
the East.
Concerning the grammar grades, I
would say that it is my opinion that
in a few cases, the teachers are little
too ambitious to put the children ahead,
and often tax them too severely with
homework. However, when 1 was in
the grammar grades, seldom if ever
had occasion to complain to my parents
about any excess in homework.
I think that in many cases the COM
plants are wholly due to the fact that I
children are taking work which is too
advanced for them, in both age and
development of mind.
Before bringing this letter to close
will submit the following data: !;
The following papers were distributed
o the pupils of both the upper and lower
trades of the Honolulu High School,

arents or guardians:

CAUSE OF FALLING HAIR.
Dandruff, Which is a Germ Disease
Kill the Germ

Failing hair is caused by dandruff,
which is germ disease. The germ in
burrowing into the root of the hair,
where it destroys the vitality Of the
hair, causing the hair to fall out, digs
up the cuticule in little scales, called
dandruff or scurf. You can't stop the
falling hair without curing the dan
druff, and you can't cure the dandruf
without killing the dandruff germ.
Destroy the cause. you remove the
effect" Newbro's Herpieide is the only
hair preparation that kills the dandruf
germ. Herpicide is also a delightful
hair dressing. Sold by leading drug

Sale OF Opera House Tickets.

Tickets for the attraction to be
seen at the opera house next Mon
day night, will be placed on sale at
Hood d Martins drug store this
afternoon. There has already been
a big demand for seats and they
would have been placed on sale
sooner, but Manager Shelton has
been waiting for hisiregular house
tickets to arrive from Chicago. The
tickets falling to reach here this
morning, Mr.. shelton had a supply
printed for Monday night. As has
been announced before, the prices
will be 81 so, $500, $3.50 and S1.00.
These prices are little above reg
ular rates, but it should be remem-
bered that Pretty Peggy"Is very
high class attraction and comes
here under a heavy guarantee.
While the above prices may seem a
little high they are moderate as
compared to what it would cost one
to go from here to Dallas or Fort
Worth to see this or any other first
class attraction. Manager Shelton
says that under the circumstances
the prices quoted are the very

To Improve Church DBildina.

The third quarterly conference OF
this station was held in the church
August 81. The principal business
of the conference was to inaugurate
a movement 10 oking to extensive
| improvements. IL has been appar-
ent to all that such improvements
were absolutely necessary, hence it
was not surprise that those pres
ent were enthusiastic in their COM
mendation of the enterprise. But
little has been expended since the
construction of the building. Those
who had charge of its construction
planned wisely and did the work
well which accounts for it's standing
so long without much expense to
the congregation. Without a dis
senting voice the time was regarded
as propitious and a committee was
appointed TO take the matter In hand
at once so that all improvements
should be completed before cool
weather.
The ladies of the church have
money To place an elegs mt carpet ca

rum is ready to receive IL.

marriage, it came as o surprise to
their numerous friends in this city.
The affair was planned and carried
to successfu.N Elimination without
becoming very Ayenerally known be-
forehand. The ceremony was per-
formed last evening about Z O'Clock
by Rev. J. G. Smith at bis residence
on Oldham avenue, whittier the
young coupleihad quietly gone after
procuring license. After the cere !.
mony they were driven to the Katy
depot, where they boarded a north
bound passenger train for Dallas.
A trip had been planned for the
Worlds Fair, but the newly welded
pair may return from Dallas this
afternoon to receive the congratula-
tion of friends.
The groom is a son of Colonel
and Mrs r.. H. Connally, and is a
most worthy and deserving young
man. He at present has employ
ment with the Ellis County Inde

pal did not. It will be remembered that there was an abrupt raise in the valu- ation of the property of the United Verde but the company did not pay on that valuation.
 The JohnstOne- Robertson matter was brought up in the supreme cCure yes Cerday rather unexpectedly. This is an election contest which had been de- cided in this county against the ap- pellant. On Tuesday the appeal was dismissed on the ground that one of the papers had not been filed within t.-e time allowed. It was shown that the filing of it within that time was not essential for the case did not come be- fore the court for a long time after.
 On the same day a. motion to dis miss an an appeal in another case on the same ground was denied, though it was shown that none of the papers had been filed until thirty days after the expiration of the time. In that case the appellee was represented by Thomas D. Bennett who thereupon took an abnormal interest in the case of Colonel JOhnstOne. With the per mission of the attorney for Colonel JOhnstone he arose yesterday morning and said he desired to call the atten- ton of the court to a seeming incon- sistency and he recited the facts of the Two cases. After a brief consultation, the court said that the order dismiss ing the appeal would be vacated today; that it would have been done yesterday but for the absence of Associate Judge Davis, there being on the bench at the time only two members qualified to act.
 A motion to dismiss was granted ir the case of James Shirley. appellant, against George Mitchell, appellee. from Yavapai county This dispute had it's start from the Cobre Grande litigation. Shirley was in some way connected with the Cananea property before the organization and even before the sa'e of the property by Greene to Mitchell. Shirley claimed certain shares which Mitchell had promised to give him for his services in bringing a rich mine and capital for it's development togeth r.
 In the case Of William Kline. appel i2nt, against Clay Hockett, appellee, from Cochise county, a motion to af- firm on the short transcript was grant, ed The case of the United States against W. K. Meade from Cochise county, was submitted on briefs.

THE COPPER QUEEN SUIT
It Came Before the Supreme Court
 Yesterday for the Second Time.

One of the most important eases of the calendar was before the supreme court yesterday for argument It was Cochise county and N. D. Scribner, county treasurer of Cochise and ex-of- f!cio tax collector, appellants, vs. the Copper Queen Consolidated Mining company, appellee, from Cochise coun- ty.
 This case had it's origin in 1901 when the board of supervisors Of Cochise county, under the act of the legislature which had just been passed, raised the valuation on eight claims of the prop erty of the Copper Queen, for taxable purposes. to $2,9O0,0OO. Previous to that time the company had paid 8 an acre in addition to tax on a val uaticn of improvements at S4OO, ,OOO That year, however, the supervisors let the tax of all other mining prop critics in the county stand as formerly at $a an acre.
 The company brought an injunction suit against the county and against NJ D. Scribner, the treasurer, to restrain him from an attempt to collect the tax and from including the property of the company in the delinquent tax list The
 
 three supervisors were on the stand Two of them admitted that they had no knowledge of the value of the prop eTty but that they had "assumed' that 1t was worth the amount at which they had assessed it. The third member Of the board admitted that they had guessed at it. Judgment was rendered for the company. This trial took place in December of 1901 and the county took an appeal. The case was heard in the supreme court at the January term of 1903 and the judg- ment of the court below was reversed. which was granted. and the case was again argued yesterday by Colonel Herring for the appellee and by w. C. Mcfarland for the appellants
 The history of this case is not with cut interest. The legislature of 1901 had a considerable admiXture of pop ulism and antipathy 10 corporations. Some of the mem bers Of the legislature summoned the supervisors of all the counties to Phoenix in a secret con clave to "cincE the corporations" It was proved at the trial of the Copper Queen case that one of the members of the board who attended that concIave had been heard to say in a barroom at Tombstone that they were going to "cinch the corporations" That was af- te- his return from Phoenix
 The supervisors of two-thirds of the counties weakened on their return home, but those of Cochise and Yava-
