A young lady from Australia has
just won a singing scholarship in

From her colonial home she sent to
a well-known professor in London a
record" of her voice, with the re-
quest that he would test 1t on the
gramophone, and inform her wheth-
er he thought its qualities sufficient
ly good to justify her in taking SO
long a journey for an examination Cor
a scholarship. The professor listened
to the record" was duly impressed
by the possibilities of the voice, and
wrote to say he thought she might
try. Encouraged by this report. she
reached England just in time for the
examination, and was one Of two sue

HOW NIBLACK FELL FOUL
OF NAVY DEPARTMENT

The Army and Navy Journal says:
I'VE observe with qualification that in
the Navy there is a tendency toward
greater freedom in the expression of in
dividual opinion, particularly with re-
gard to administrative methods and
questions of general policy. Lieut.
Conldr. Albert P. Niblack, U.S.N., an
officer of most enviable Qualifica tions,

Institute, that writing by Navy offic-
ers for publication still has it's tribula-
tons. He says: An article on tactics
by the writer, under the title, The
Jane Naval War Game. in the Scien-
tific American written at the request
was required by the Navy Department
to be first submitted to it for consid-
GRAFTON, and several paragraphs were
officially stricken from it before it was
allowed to appear. Subsequently an
article by the writer entitled Golfers
and Coaling Stations, reluctantly
written at the request of the Secretary
of the Institute, received the condem-
nation of the Department, and the
writer was officially reprimanded. The
next contribution of the writer to the
pages of the Proceedings, Operations
of the Navy and Marine Corps in the
Philippines was expurgated by the
Board of Control, and the part which
expressed the writer's opinions on
medals and letters of communication
was not allowed to appear

FATHER SYLVESTER
DIES At WAILUKU

Early yesterday morning the Catholic
Mission was informed by wireless of
the death of Reverend Father Sylvester
at Wailuku where he had sojourned
for a few years on account of his poor
health. His many friends will be
grieved over the death although it was
feared for weeks that he would not
survive his illness.
Reverend Father Sylvester was born
at Turnhout in Belgium and entered the
congregation of the Sacred Hearts when
quite young. He commenced his priest
ly studies in Louvain and was sent by
his scperiors to this mission in 1870
and arrived here with Bishop Maigret
on the latter S return from Rome on
the 18th of October of the same year
Father Matthias is the only survivor
of this band of missionaries On the
23rd of December of the following year
Father Sylvester was ordained priest in
the Cathedral by Bishop Maigret and
was sent at once to Kauai where he
labored for many years. After a few
years at Ahuimanu he was appointed
chaplain of the new St Louis College
where he remained until 1895, when
he accompanied the late Bishop Gull
stan to Rome. On his return and on
account of poor health he was sent once
more to Kauai, his favorite place, but
his health broke down and he went to
Waikiki where he entered the hospital
under the excellent care of the sisters
Since that time he accompanied the
newly elected Bishop Libert for his
conservation in San Francisco.
For many years Father Sylvester was
obliged on account of poor health to
give up all active work and has been
lingering up to the time of his death.
He was nearly sixty years of age. May
his soul rest in peace.

him for his utterances were all in &C
cord with the authority of the Navy
Department, and consequently the lat
ter is not to be criticized for its action.
The fault, if there be any, is in the
system itself rather than with those
who applied it. If the effect Of the
system now in vogue is, as it appears
to have been in this case, to stifie the
freedom of individual thought and ut
terance on subjects relating to the
i naval Service, it seems most unwise.
| Whether the passages officially strick-
en- from one of Commander Niblacks
papers We're thus treated for prudential
reasons, and whether the paper for
which he was reprimanded amounted
to a criticism upon his superiors or
violation of regulations in other re-
spects, we have no means of knowing,
but the fact remains that here is an
officer of high attachments and profess
sional zeal who has been made to suffer
severe hardship for expressing his in
diVidual opinion on questions affecting
the Service to which he belongs. 1t is
furthest from our purpose to pass any
criticism upon those who inflicted this
hardship upon, him. Our objection is
not against them, but against the sys-
tenn under Whlcn Iney acted-d system
which seems calculated to suppress
freedom-rof thought and expression,
stif1e the spirit of professional zeal and
foster Indifference among those sub
ject to it's authority.
1.-The officers both of the Navy and
Army can safely be trusted to discuss
Service topics with dignity, discretion
and proper reserve. They should be
encouraged to do SO to the fullest ex-
tent compatible with their profession
al duties and the public interest. Hon
est criticism will harm no legitimate
interest Free discussion will lead to
the truth. No broad-minded, progress
sive administration has the slightest
reason to dread it."

CROSS-D|ALECTS IN
SCHOOLS ARE FATAL

Editor Advertiser: There is little
doubt that the best results along edu-
cational lines are not being obtained
by the present complex system in the
public schools where all races in the
Hawaiian Islands mingle in school
rooms and classes on common and
equal basis.
With Hawaiians, t-Hawaiians,
English speaking children, Chinese,
japanese, Portuguese, Porto Ricans,
Korean and other nationalities grouped
in the lower grades, each with its own
peculiar pigeon English dialect, English
instruction by the teachers is nullified
by the babel of dialects. One dialect
overlaps another and the most de-
termined instruc ION in English fails
to eliminate the "pigeon' element
from the entire assemblage. Progress
by this method is necessarily slow and
certainly most unsatisfactory.
DISCRIMINATION may not be CLAIMED
in a method where the endeavor is to
eliminate the overlapping of pigeon
English dialects. Take the entry
grades for example. Let there be re
ceiving rooms or classes for each ma
tionaIity For the first year let there
be direct instruction to each nationality.
1t is within the zone of possibilities to
batter down to some extent. the pigeon
English expressions where but one dia
iect has to be dealt with by teachers.
Better grammatical construction and
better ideas of English ''as she should
be spoken may thus be gained, than
where half a dozen nationalities are
crowded into one room and permitted
to be grouped in cosmopolitan classes.
The second year the pupils may be
graded according to progress made, and
cosmopolitan classes might have their
beginning the second year. if necessary.
Under this system the charge of dis
elimination could hardly be made
