1.-THE payrols from January on will
in all probability equal or exceed the
pro rata. If in excess. will draw from
the $4907.24 and IL not in excess will
add slightly to this amount
The estimated expense for the sum-
mer vacation months of July and Au-
gust, 1906. with our present salary
roll, is S22,20S.60 for each month, or S44,-
! 4l1.2O for the two months, while the
! pro rata for these two months will be
! SA5,S33.34, leaving a balance of $1416.14.
This is on the assumption that the
payrolls remain as they are at present
! AS matter of fact, the payrolls win
| increase and this balance will be very
considerably smaller. Therefore it can
only read as an approximate estimate.
! This balance, sl4l614, plus balance
saved, namely, s4907.24, will give a bal
once of $6,323.3S to obtain new teachers
needed within the year.
Mr.. Babbitt then gives the facts re-
garding the new teachers required on
or before the beginning of next school
year in September, which were fully
set forth in Mr.. Atkinson's interview
III the Advertiser excepting only where
Mr. Rabbit mentioned that the MoIc.
kan settlers We're "also going to call
| for teachers" After giving the num-
Der of teachers needed as eighteen and
| stating the estimated balance, il the
present status were not exceeded, as
S63233S at the end of the period, Mr..
! Rabbit concludes as follows:
II believe that it will be patent to
you that these figures are presented
on the most conservative estimate and
that the needs are likely to be very
! much greater rather than less. For
this reason it has not seemed wise to
me to plan on using this present bal
! ance of $490724 at the present time
IF you add to the figures above the
, probable needs Of new teachers at IA
anapali, in Hilo as soon as the new
High School is completed and on Ka-
uai with the new buildings to be erect
| CO there, as well as the new Molokan
| problem, you will see that there Is a
| still greater need for economy If we
are to keep within our appropriations
made in the payrolls for the support
of schools"

ster up their argument with a fancied
dread of ''yellow INVASION of Amer
lea. There are at present less than So
600 Chinese in the United States, which
! is less than one to a thousand of popu-
lation. Surprising that in 20 years it
was possible for 100000 to arrive
| (Which is an absurdity), they would
still be not l per cent. of the popula-
ton. Another argument against them
is that they work for extremely low
wages. | have found that they are as
solicitous as any other people to get all
they can for their services. Another is
that they send all their money home to
China. This argument is oftener made
by those who forget to speak of the bill
lions which have been sent to Europe
and also that it is one of the prime
rights a man has. viz: to do as he
pleases with what he has earned An
other is that they do not amalgamate
with Americans or become citizens. the

UNJUST REPRESSION.
The unexpected blanketing of the

Clusion laws of the United States in all
their harshness was blow to us as sur

and who absolutely refused to allow
countrymen, who had been abroad tenn

businesses.
Judging by what I read in the public
press of the United States, the exclusion
laws are thought by great many of
the people of the country to lie abhor

which the word America is synonym.
