Resolved, That the sense of this
meeting be conveyed by letter TO the
widow of the late Mr.. All. and that this
resolution be spread in full upon our
minutes"
The foregoing resolution was unani-
mousIy passed at the meeting of the
Board of Education yesterday immedi-
ateIy after the opening routine. 1t had
been presented by superintendent w.
H. Rabbit with whom were present
Mrs. J. NJ. Dowsett, c. ]. Hutchins and
T. T. P. Waterhouse, Commissioners.

details of teachers for the next term
was the main business of the session.
This will be thoroughly reviewed by
the teachers committee before final ac-
ton is taken by the board. Many
changes are already certain, from res
ignations, transfers, changes of ac-
commodation, health of individuals,
etc.
Inspector King was called in and, re-
spending to the superintendent re-
quest, gave an oral report on little
trouble at Pahala. This was the pun
ishment of a little boy with undue Sc
verify as had been alleged. The matter
was settled by the release of the child
from school on condition that he was
to be taught at home. There were no
charges" Mr.. King said, and the father
of the child was annoyed that so much
fuss had been made, considering that
the case was not one serious enough to
have caused the inspector to have been
called from Hilo to investigate it.
A letter concerning a difficulty in one
of the Honolulu schools was submitted
by the Superintendent, but as confiden-
tiaI matter.
man Gray as a teacher in Kaahumanu
School was accepted.
Frequent meetings for further consid-
Grafton of the teaching list were de-
cided upon until the business is fin
ished. There being three vacant seats
at the board, there are not more men,
bers remaining than are needed to fin
the teachers committee. Next meet
ing will be held this afternoon.
It is not merely a matter of select
ing teachers, but, as Mr.. Rabbit en-
phasized yesterday, a remodeling of the
system of grading teachers has become
necessary. There is no distinct grade
now for primary school principals or
for normal or high school teachers. a
vagueness also EXISTS in the ranking
of teachers for salary allotment on the
grounds of experience, class of certifi-

THE WOMAN NOT
ALLOWED To LAND
Came on the AmiraI Duperre
as the Second Wife
OF Takei.

Another question OF the validity OF
marriage and divorce according to
japanese usage, has arisen. One Takei,
a japanese laborer on Maui, came over
to Honolulu to meet his wife who ar
rived by the S. S. Amiral Duperre.
But when the immigration authorities
began to Look into the matter they
found that when Takei came to Hawaii
two or three years ago, he left wife
in Japan from whom he has since been
divorced in Japan by Japanese pro-
cedure. In the sane way he was mar
ried TO the woman who came by the
Amiral Duperre, though he has not re-
turned to Japan. The immigration au-
thorities held that no divorce could be
valid while Takei was residing in Ha-
waii, which was not procured in Ameri-
can courts according to American law.
The woman was therefore refused
landing.
A similar case occurred some time
ago in which the japanese Consul Cen
eral entered a formal protest against
the ruling of the immigration depart
ment in order to get the matter formal
ly before the japanese government for
diplomatic decision between the two
countries.

cause to remember Mr.. J. Dutoit Bon

Iery, who is now manager for the store
of A. Isaacman & Co., of Branfort,
o. r. c. His endeavor to check the
ravages of dysentery which was so
prevalent in the war camps brought re-
lief to many suffering men. He says:
IT cured dozens of cases of Diarrhoea
and Dysentery during the war out here
with Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy. I never knew 1t
to fail if used according to directions.

Good Advertising and

ment of the Blish Milling Co., of Indiana.
one of the largest corporations of its
kind in the West. In it was an ad cut
from the Hustler to which reference is
made, and is one more instance of how
a good newspaper advertises town.
Mr.. Sandan says:
Noticed enclosed ad in Hustler to-day,
::'By the way The Hustler is mighty
good booster. Their write up of your
town in issue of 18th is splended. He
pictures your town so prettily think I

Definite Plans Submitted To
the Business Men. Good
Results Are Sure. Much
Interest Shown by All.

able to get seats.
The concise and businesslike reports
of the advertising committees were
read and adopted without amendment,
after an interesting discussions.
The report provides: For the print
ing of booklet at a cost of not over
S40O. Definite specifications for the
work was submitted, and it must be an
absolutely first-class piece of work in
every particular.
There are to be no pictures of indi-
viduals, illustrations to consist of busi-
ness blocks, scenes hotels and board
ing houses. No names are to appear
under the pictures. Only those board
ing houses which pay fiYe dollars for
their illustration are to appear, but In
the back of the book will appear the
name and rates charged by every hotel
and boarding house In town. No charge
is to be made for this, and EVERY
proprietor of such a business should
send in their name at once to Mr.. G.. E.
Wilson, chairman of the committe.
There will be very little reading mat
ter in the booklet, being practically all
illustrations The plates will be the
best money can buy.
Other separate pamphlets will deal
with such subjects as the climate, the
resources of the county, letters from
those who have been benefited by their
stay here, and other matters of interest
to prospective visitors, or home-seekers.
About 500 will be spent in magazine
advertising from which good results
will undoubtedly follow. A list of the
best mediums has been prepared and
copy sent to them for Insertion.
The meeting was an interesting one.
Some good, short talks were made by
men who have only the best ipterests
of the city of Hendersonville at heart.
Mayor schenck talked earnestly on
unity of purpose. John L Orr, 81, S.
And erson, W. A. Smith, Dr. ]. Steven

Water Meters.

You hear q good deal about water
meters these days, and it is the opinion
of many of our business men that meters
would go long way towards solving
a somewhat vexatious problem, which
sooner or later must come before the
Esople for final settlement. 1t has been
suggested that were the livery stables,
boarding houses and hotels metered,
they would pay for only what water
they actually used, which is proper,
and that possibly large waste would be
done away with. What do you think
about it?

EDITOR HUSTLER: l attended the
last meeting at the court house when
the question of how best to induce peo-
pie to come to Hendersonville was dis
cussed and wish to say that I think
none of the speakers hit the nail squar-
ely on the head. In the first place south
ern people are not going to come here
in the winter at all for winter climate,
and northern people will not come for
the benefit of a winter climate except it
be to find relief from Asthma, Bron-
chitis, Catarrh, or some of the incipient
or advanced stages of tuberculosis.
Now l think the best way is to recon-
mend Hendersonyille highly to both
northern people and southern people
alike as the finest climate to be found
for an all the year residence for both
northern and southern people alike.
And this we can do honestly and truth
fully for know it to be fact from a
long and careful personal investigation
of large portion of the southern states
during period of more than two years
that there is no place further south in
the United States where so fine a sum-
mer climate can be found than right
here while the winters her, are much
milder than in any of the northern
states where the heat Of summer is as
great as it is here; and in very many of
them it is very. much greater. Take
for instance such states as Illinois, Iu-
diana, Ohio, Penn. Kentucky, Virginia.
Maryland and West VirginiaS and such
cities as New York, Philadelphia, Balti-
more and Washington. In all of which
states and cities the mercury frequently
indicates 100 degrees or more in the
shade, while here by careful observ-
atiod noticed it did not 60 above 81
degrees last summer except in very ex-
posed places.
Now it is not convenient to be all the
time migrating like the birds, and be-
sides it is very expensive; and many
people cannot afford to do so; and as by
coming hither from the low hot local
tiles of the south, people can enjoy
delightful summer, they can afford tt
have a little colder winter by staying
all the year, as the discomfort OF
slightly colder winter are not to b'
compared with the stupefying and de
bilitating effects of hot climate IL
summer. And the northern people
have everything to gain and nothing t.
lose by coming here, as they get mild
er winter, and delightful summer Gil
