lieve the situation. We must have
money for the school department from
some source. The Supervisors cannot
give us any, although they are to re-
eeive school money, and L do not know
whether we could safely promise that
the Legislature would refund subserip-
tions if we were to start around with
paper to private individuals. That
would depend upon the complexion of
the Legislature, which is at present an
unknown quantity.

The school difficulty is the talk of

they are concerned, than it was before

order of the Directors, wrote that let

the request for an opinion from County
Attorney Douthitt. That opinion was
adverse, as everybody knows.

DOUTHITT'S OPINION
IS IHCOhCLUS|VE

Editor Advertiser: The opinion of
Mr.. Douthitt, the County Attorney, on
the use -of-eaunty funds for school pur-
poses is interesting and in it's state
ment of law accurate, but inconclusive.
1t overlooks the fact which Mr.. Girvin
has permanently called attention to in
the Advertiser, that the opening SEN
tence of Act 93 providing funds for
the expenses of the county provides,
"Seetion /. Fifty percentum of the
total amount of poll and school taxes
and taxes on property and income col
lected in each county shall be paid by
the Treasurer of the Territory of Ha-
waii to the Treasurer of the county in
the following manner
Dillon in his Municipal Corpora
tions,'' the work cited by the County
Attorney, cites numerous authorities to
show that the care of the schools and
the building of school houses are mu-
nicipal purposes, (Section 567 to 500
and this includes a county. (Bell
County vs. Alexander, % Tex. $500

school purposes is a proper municipal
purpose, and it has also been laid down
in Massachusetts and elsewhere that it
is proper for a town to raise money
for a State school located within it's
territory, (Merrick VS.. Amherst, II AL
len 500); and in California, where
school districts and boards of eduea-
tion are separate corporations from the
under general law
authorizing money to be raised for
purposes, it has been held
that a municipal corporation can raise
for school purposes within its
limits. although the school district by
law is granted like powers. The court
in that ease says that all these cOrpor-
ations are but branches of the State
and that the maintenance
of public schools is as much an incl

TRUANCy To
Be STOPPED
Bad Boys Must Not Play
Hockey Any
More.

An earnest movement to put an end
practically, to school truancy and child
vegrancy in Honolulu took shape yes
terday afternoon at the Education of
flee. A conference was held there by
Superintendent w. H. Babbitt with the
probationary officers serving under the
Juvenile Court Act.
Senator C. H. Dickey, father of the
Ryder, Theodore Richards, c. r. Hem
enway, Rev. E. 3. Turner, Rev. Faith
er Stephen, Rev. j. A. Rath and Lyle
A. Dickey, probationary officers, at
tended.
In the course of remarks giving in
formation, Mr.. Babbitt produced lists
of city schools showing their respect
i've capacities, numbers in attendance
and vacancies for pupils at present
existing. There is accommodation al
together for about 100 more pupils.
of various phases of the question in
the large, the following conclusion was
reached:
That the lists be distributed among
the different school principals and that
the principals furnish lists of truants
to the probationary officers of their
respective districts. who will use their
discretion about taking action with re-
gard to bringing the truants under
probationary surveillance"
1t was agreed, further, at the sug-
gestion of Father Stephen, that the
principals should be directed TO use
their discretion so as not to report
children absent from school merely for
d day or two.
Another outcome of the meeting was
an agreement of the proba tionary Off
GERS to visit the Boys Industrial
School at Waialee in a body next Mon
day. Superintendent Babbitt under
took to try to make special arrange
ments for transportation of the party
by train. This expedition was also
Father Stephens idea.
THE CONFERENCE.
Mr.. Babbitt, in introducing the busi
ness of the conference, explained a
system of merits and demerits which
MT. GIBSON ndu put into SUCCESSFUL
operation at Waialee. He had asked
Mrs. Dexter to frame a similar system
for the Girls Industrial School. Under

W orked we'll nothing but favorable re-
ports of the boys having been receiv-
ed. 1t might be harder to find homes
for the girls in town.
Answering Senator Dickey, the Su-
perintendent said that habitual tru-
ancy or vagrancy cases should be
brought into court, but there might be
cases of casual truancy here the pu-
pills would place themselves on parole
without legal proceedings. At this
point he submitted the lists of schools
4bove mentioned.
Senator Dickey said he would be glad
to do all he could in aiding the move
ment. He explained hat the c act OF

Congress hearing the request of Ha-
waii for a refund to the Territory of

Nh. Gait. Mr. Chairman and gentle
men 1 am connected with the Hawai-
ian Trust Company, of Honolulu, as
treasurer. 1 just wish to touch on and
emphasize a few points that have al
ready been brought out, and also to
answer more fully few questions
which have been asked by different
members during the sessions-princi-
pally day before yesterday.
Before touching on these points [
would like to impress upon your minds
the fact that in many of the argu-
ments and statements which have
been made the impression may have
been given that we are in an extremely
bad condition there, that we are al
most insolvent and on our last legs.
That is not true. At the same time
we do feel in our hearts and in our
judgment that our position is now such
that we are in need of assistance. We
feel that we are asking for what is
fair and just. AT the same time if we
do not get it We have no idea of throw
ing up our hands. We are going to
stand just as straight as ever and go
back and fight just as hard to keep
up to as high a standard as we pos
sibly can.
In answer to a question day before
yesterday a statement was made, L
think inadvertently, that our sugar
owned most OF the land
under sugar cultivation. This is not
so. 1t is far from being SO. The great
majority of the lands under sugar cul-
tivation are owned in fee by the gov
ernment, by estates, and by individ-
uaIs
Take for instance the plantations
right on the island of Oahu, on which
is located. The Eva planta-
ton, which is our banner plantation,
produces the largest number of tons
Of sugar to the acre of any planta-
ton we have in the islands, and Ow-
ing to that fact has given a wrong
impression on the outside that all our
produce as much. Eva
produces between thirty and forty
thousand tons of sugar a year and
hold its lands under Ieasehold, Then |
there is the Waialua plantation, pro- !
1ucing 10000 tons Of sugar now. with |
4 strong prospect of increasing her |
to that of Eva. 1t has
under its control about $4,000 acres OF |
and. About 1000 acres Of that land
it owns in fee. and the entire balance |
S under leasehold.
1t is the same way with Kahuku |
plantation. All of its lands are held /
Inder leasehold.
Another is the Waimanalo planta-
ion. which is smaller. The lands be-
ong entirely to the government. and |

There are several funds in the Treas

but whether any of the money thus
accrued can be diverted to school Pur-
poses is matter for serious cOnsldera-

and that means almost everybody
was the diversion of the school funds
