DROWNED FROM.
A SMALL SlOOF

II. C. Halverson and John Halverson,
two brothers. and man named Nelson
borrowed a small sloop of Charley
Costa, of the garbage department, yes
terday and in the afternoon started on
a fishing trip towards Molokal. When
about opposite the Moana hotel 1t was
decided to reef the sail. The two Han
verson brothers were in the forward
portion of the craft doing this work
and Nelson was at the helm steering
The boom was caught by the wind and
swung around, knocking Nelson into
the sea. The two men made diligent
search for him but failed to find his
body. The above facts were reported
at the police station last night but 1t
was impossible to get complete details
concerning the drowning.

as soon as the chance for somebody to
get an appointment appeared but did
not want the fact known until every
thing had been fixed up with kepoikai.
1t is probable that II Kepoikai APP
points Gear in opposition to the wishes

appointment would bring a variety of

heads of departments.

that Gear supported the Home Rule

THE SCHOOL QUESTION

mother wanted to say that | had too
much school work at home, but | told
her if she said that, that should be
ashamed to go back to school, because
they would make such fun of me-" Her
mother was persuaded to yield to the
girl. Others said I'VE couldn't make
our mother say So She said she didn't
believe in school work at home at all.
We told her we should be laughed at,
and we were'
boosted candor of the answers, when
we know OF one case where the parent
has been persuaded into expressing an
opinion contrary to her own, in order
that her child should not be ridiculed !?
Who shall blame her in view OF the
children who were ridculed and suffer
ed for their mothers moral courage?
| would like to suggest to the teachers
interested in this discussion, that they
never will get the true answers to their
questions, as long as they bring the Sub
ject before the children themselves, in
the way that has been adopted this time.
To imply that parent is actuated en-
tirely by the conditions in the case of
her own child. is very narrow view.
Those who really have the question most
at heart, think not only of their own
children, but of innumerable others who
have been victims of the system.
The whole school question is one that
has agitated the minds of all thoughtful
people for years. and all information
and suggestions for remedying the evils
we all recognize would be as interesting
to the public as to the teacher We
should be pleased to have some authori-
tative statement from Punahou embody-
ing those interesting answers to the
practical questions.

He says that Mr. Dillingham;, who act
ed for the company in the transaction,
is the father-in-law of the Chief Justice
and the Chief Justice is also n stock
holder and trustee for the bondholders
of the Oahu Railway & Land Com
pany.
Now. as n matter of fact. Davis was
hu railroad out of $1,000 or any amount.
No such charge was made or proved
against him and the only thing about
the railroad was lugged in by Davis
himself. That is the manner in which
Galbraith arrives at his criticism of
Frear. The whole attack on Frear is
based on that point"
The attorney pointed out further that
one distinct point against Galbraith is
that he takes far more pains to attack
his fellow judges, than to discuss the
merits of the case. He has gone out
of his way in many of his opinions to
make personal attacks upon them.
THE reason is very apparent" he
continued, that he is seeking political
capital for denomination for himself
and others of his ilk, in the hope that
the other members of the Supreme
Court will not be reappointed so that
he can make political bench of ii.
one of the chief requisites On the bench
is courtesy towards fellow members,
but following the lead of Humphreys

bench has been nothing but scurrilous
abuse toward the judges with whom he
is associated. This was one of tho
marked features of Humphreys ad-
ministration on the circuit bench"

Honolulu. Jan. IA, 100


Editor Advertiser: l have read with
great interest the numerous complaints
in your columns, which were entered
against the excess of home work 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 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 uaiy for study. The
pupil naturally falls behind in some of
the studies, and when bad report
comes 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.
rd-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, |
would say that it is my opinion that
in few cases, the teachers are little
too ambitious to put the children ahead,
and often tax them too severely with
homework. However, when | was in
the grammar grades, / seldom if ever
had occasion to complain to my parents
about any excess in homework.
| think that in many cases the COM
plants are wholly due to the fact that
children are taking work which is too
advanced for them. i'll both age and
development of mind.
Before bringing this letter to a close
I will submit the following data:
The following papers were distributed
to the pupils of both the upper and lower
grades of the Honolulu High School,
with instructions to carry them to their
parents or guardians:
