COLLEGE TEAM WINS
Commercial College Boys Defeat Y. M.
@. A. Team by a Close Score

In the fastest basket ball of the sea
son, the College Of Commerce won from
the Y. M. G. A. Wednesday night.
Both teams played very fast and al
though the checking was hard, the
game was free from the usual rough
ness.
The college started off with a rush
and scored 5 points before the Y. Nc.
G. A. boys scored. With this lead the
college was able to maintain it to the
end. The game from then on was truly
a grand battle and to the victor belongs
the spoils and to the vanquished great
deal of credit. Each and every man
played a great game O'Donnen was
easily the star with Haag and Kent
next.
The score was College %, Y. M. C..
A. 10.
The loss of Elmer Smith through in
jury probably cost the Y. M. G. A. the
game.

tive in saving waste and in getting
better results, why is not combination
far more important in philanthropic
work? In this question is set forth
Rockefeller, head Of the Standard Oil
interests published in the current is
sue of the Worlds Work The gem
eral subject of Mr.. Rockefeller's arti-
Gle is The value of the cooperative
principle in giving
Mr. Rockefeller expresses the belief
that the general idea of cooperation
in giving for education scored "a real
step in advance" when Mr.. Andrew
Carnegie consented to become a mem
Der of the General Education Board,
for in accepting a position in this
directory he has, it seems to me,
stamped with his approval this vital
principle of cooperation in aiding the
educational institutions of our coun-
try"
He goes on to describe i'm some de-
tail the work of the General Education
Board which he said has made or is
making a careful study of the loca-
ton, aims, work, resources, admins
tration and educational value. present
and prospective, of the institutions of
higher learning in the United States.
The Board, he says. makes it's contri-
button averaging something like 81
100000 year, on the most careful
comparative study of needs and OPP
portunities throughout the country.
Its records are open to all. Many
benefactors of education are avaiing
themselves of these disinterested in
quiries, and it is hoped that more will
do So"
Some interesting general remarks
on the subject of benevolence illumi-
nate Mr.. Rockefellers point of view.
For instance he says:
"To help an inefficient, ill-located,
unnecessary school is a waste. I am
told by those who have given most
careful study to this problem that it
is highly probable that enough mo-
ney has been squandered on unwise
educational projects to have built up
a national system of higher education
adequate to our need if the money
had been properly directed to that
end"
OF Roman Catholic methods Mr.
Rockefeller said that he has "seen the
organization of the Roman church Sc
cure better results with a given sum
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1908-12-31

of money than other church organi-
cations are accustomed to secure from
the same expenditure 1t is unneces,
sary to dwell upon the centuries Of
experience which the church of Rome
has gone through to perfect great
power of organization"
Commenting upon the great mass
of appealing letters received Mr..
Rockefeller says that four-fifths Of
them are requests for money for per-
sonal use, with no other title to con-
sideration than that the writer would
be gratified to have it."
Mr.. Rockefeller pays a warm tribute
to the memory of the late DR.. Will
liam r. Harper, president of the Uni
versity of Chicago. and makes without
qualification the statement which will
be surprising to many persons, that
during the entire period of his presi-
dency of the University of Chicago, he
never once either wrote me a letter
or asked me personally for a dollar OF
money for the University" He goes
on to explain that in this as in all
other cases the gifts to the University
were the result of the presentation of
its needs made in writing by the Off
GERS of the University whose special
duty it is to prepare its budgets and
superintend its finances. It is not per-
sonal interviews and impassioned APP
peals, but sound and justifying worth
that should attract and secure the
funds of philanthropy. The people in
great numbers who are constantly inn
portuning me for personal interviews
in behalf of favorite causes err in sup
posing that the interview, were it pos
sible, is the best way, or even a good
way. of securing what they want"
In the course of his article Mr.
Rockefeller says of himself: "Criti-
cism that is deliberate, sober and fair
/ is always valuable and it should be
welcomed by all who desire progress.
have had at least my full share of
adverse criticism but I can truly say
that it has not embittered me nor left
me with any harsh feeling against a
/ living soul. Nor do I wish to be cri-
teal of those whose conscientious
judgment, frankly expressed, differs
from my own. No matter how noisy
the pessimists may be, we know that
the world is getting better steadily
and rapidly and that it IS a good thing
to remember in our moments of de-
preston or humiliations."

SAILING SHIPS
COMBINE ENDS
ASSOCIATION WHICH MADE RATES
FOR WINDJAMMERS ALL OVER
WORLD Is DISSOLVED.

SAN FRANCISCO, December 21.-
The International Association of Sail
ing Ship Owners. controlling three
fourths of the sailing vessels on the
seas, and representing a combined cap
ital of many millions of dollars. ha1
been dissolved Word to this effect war
received yesterday by Page Brothers,
ship brokers of 80 California street
in a cabegram from London The eX-
port business Of the port of San Fran
cisco will be directly affected by the
change. Heretofore the shipping com
panies in the association have main
tanned a minimum rate. but henceforth
every concern will operate on an in
dependent basis
The effect has already manifested It
self in a decline in charters. Rates on
barley and flour cargoes have fallen
from % shillings 8 pence to 20 shill-
ings, This vii be reflected further, it
is predicted, in a more active movement
of grain from coast points.
The International Ship Owners AS
ISOLATION embraces in its membership
the leading companies of Great Britain,
France, Germany Norway anu Sweden
and includes many companies of Italy
and other countries An agreement was
entered into seven years ago in which
minimum rates were established for the
business from Portland, Tacoma, Seat
tie and San Francisco on the coast of
the United States, from points on the
west coast of South America and from
Australian ports.
This agreement remained in full
force until recently, when the financial
panic began to cut into the business.
Then the large number Of tramp YES
sells and the ships which followed the
fleet around the Horn interfered SET
ously with the regular shipping trafiic
and a unique system of rate cutting
came into existence Special allowances
would be made on insurance and ficti-
tious sales of wheat and other commO-
dities made in a manner that amounted
to rebating. This practice continued
until the agreement remained an agree
ment in name only. A decision was
thereupon reached to dissolve. Every
company will now seek business indie
pendently and establish its own rates.
