CAMPAIGN FOR EDUCATION.
Prominent Educators Will
Conduct the Rallies Be-
ginning Next Week.

Another great campaign for education
has been planned by Superintendent of
Public instruction r. L. Jones and
within few weeks people in every sec
tion of the state will be attending big
educational rallies in which the fore
most educators in Tennessee will par
ticipate. Rallies will be held IN every
county in the state with the exception
of the four large counties, other ar.
rangements having been made for
them. The services of the most promi.
nent educators have been enlisted. The
plans have been worked out on large
scale and if they prove successful the
campaign will eclipse all previous eff.
forts in that direction.
For the sake of convenience the raj
lies will be held simultaneously ia the
three grand divisions OF the state. The
East Tennessee tour will begin at Sc
visrville, Sewer county, August 8 and
will close at Decatur, Meigs county,
September 4. The work in East Ten
nessee will be in charge of former State
Superintendent S. G. Gilbreath, OF
Chattanooga, and S. A. Mynders, Of
Knoxville. W. j. Brister and Sam e
Hill, of Knoxville, and other well
known educationalists will participate.
The educational rallies in every in.
stance will be held at the county seats.
The dates for the East Tennessee cam.
paign and the itinerary is IN part as
follows: Greene, Aug. 10; Washington,
Aug. IL; Unicoi, Aug. II; Garter, Aug.
10; johnson, Aug. IA; Sullivan, Aug

CONNECTION IS MADE
Steel Ribbons Extend
Across Blue Ridge
JOHNSON CITY TO MARION
Within Thirty Days Tracks
Will be in Condition for
Regular Traffic.

Yestei day at a point about % miles
south of AltapasS, N. c., the last spike
was driven along the dark blue steel
ribbons that extend across the Blue
Ridge Mountains from johnson City
to Marion, N. c., and the Carolina,
Clinchfeld & Ohio railroad is now q
reality. The track was laid by the
company's own forces, but Macarthur
Bros. had the contract for the grading.
As fast as the work train can haul bal
last the track will be put in proper
condition for traffic and early in Sep.
TENDER it is calculated to have trains
operated regularly between this city
Marion. This Is the end Johnson City
has had in view since 1889 and there is
every reason why our citizens should
feel elated, and this is not all. AS fast
as human agencies can accomplish il
the line is being pushed to the ocean
on the south and the coal fields op the
north and ere long the coal will flow
continuously to the Atlantic for points
beyond.

LIVELY DOINGS IN
PALAMA DISTRICT

Young Kai takes great pleasure i'm
riding a wheel. Yesterday, attired in
his Sunday best, he paid few neigh
borhood calls. going from place to
place on his bicycle.
AS ne was emerging from Auld's
lane he collided with hack driven by
a Portuguese and going along King
street in an Eva direction. The wheel
was smashed and the Chinaman got
tangled up in the wheels of the hack.
He was considerably shaken. but
appeared to be otherwise unhurt. He
is free in expressing his opinion that
the hackman who figured in the affair
is no gentleman, to say the least.
While the neighbors were discussing
the accident a Chinaman in nearby
poi shop hit an old native over the
head because in the excitement of the
moment he had tried to get away with
q package of poi without having first
paid the poiman.
The old mans son arrived on the
scene and proceeded to trim the vendor
of taro-roots. He was doing a good
job till she crowd surged round the
combatants, making accurate fistwork
an impossibility.

following to say regarding a former
resident of Honolulu:
You enquired about Billy Cunning
ham. He has some good property about
so or 100 miles from here. He is out
there at this time. I think he Will
make some money out of it. His fam
lily resides here in town. His boy is
a bright little fellow and runs a mes
senger express here. His daughter is
a stenographer and / think, has
steady employment, also here I'm

bill has not made any big money
during his time here. but ne is always
rustling, and that means, in this coun-
try, that he may strike 1t any day,
because this is surely a great coun-
try; and while there are great many
broken men here, as elsewhere, / still
think that this is the greatest country
for opportunities in the world"

that although the school is richly en-
lowed, fee of fifty dollars is charged
each student for board and tuition
Native Hawaiians, as well as whit,
folks, appreciate the thing that cost,
money more than the thing given out,
right. The curriculum emphasizes
English, mathematics, history, nature
study, and agriculture There is also
training in hygiene and nursing. Man.
ual training courses prepare the stu

needs. Among the teachers it was my

Close by Kamehameha Schools is the
Bishop Museum of Polynesian Eth
nology and Natural History, founded
by Mr.. Charles Reed Bishop, in memory
of his wife PauaAi. This museum con-
tains most excellent collection of
specimens Illustrating the life and arts
of the Polynesian race. 1T is very in
tcresting to see, almos: by the side of
a facsimile of the ancient hale pill, the
grass hut of the native Hawaiians, be-
side images with human skulls and bar
barrie implements, the enormous feather
kahilis carried at high ceremonials in
recent years, and the ieweled crown
and other gorgeous insignia of Kala-
kaua, the last King of the Islands. Not
much of Hawaiian history is known
before l778, when Captain Cook dis
covered the Islands and called them
Sandwich Islands, in honor of his
friend and patron, the Earl of Sand
witch, who was the First Lord of the
British Admiralty at the time. Since
Cook IS advent, the Hawaiians have
made history too fast Aided by the
arms of the white man, Kamehameha
was able to subdue rival kings and cep-
tralize the government. He could not
tell, however, that the coming of the
whalers, missionaries, and other enter
prising white men would mean the ex-
tinction of his race. Gra'ius lily the old
native customs disappeared, such as
human sacrifices, the dreacei tabus,
idolatory and Inflntieid, Tie natives
proved exceedingly adaptahie to new
things-but not sturl v The census of
1896 shows 31,nl9 lIawailaps in the
total population "f 19.c-0. In 1920,
when the missionaries arrived in the
Islands, the native population amount
ed to about 100000. In Hawaii, as in
America, tho red man has gained a
