tsI am going back to the States today
but my daughter will remain to finish
the school year at Oahu College. / am
opposed to the breaking of a term es-
pecially at such an excellent institution
as the college. At many schools have
had experience which L wouldn't so

So spoke E. L. Farnsworth, visitor
to Honolulu, VINO returns to his home

Alameda today. leaving his wife and
daughter behind. Mr.. Farnsworth in
tended to stay longer but has been
called back by the news of the sudden
DEATH of his father.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Farnsworth have
had considerable experience with edu-
catfenal matters on the mainland and
have visited nearly all the local schools
from the kindergartens up. Mrs. Farms
worth and Miss Grace FarnsWorth ar
rived here last September and Mr..
Farnsworth three months later.
you have less to bother with with
your schools than we have in the
States" said Mr.. Farnsworth last
night. Heating and ventilation prob
lens don't occur here but where come
from these questions add about thirty
per cent to the cost of school build
ing.
1--WE were both surprised with the
facility with which the different races
are handled here IN the schools. 1t is
one of the first things that appeals to
the stranger, for we have nothing like
it at home.
I'VE were especially pleased with the
music and surprised at the way the
little japanese and Chinese take hold
of it, Of course we expected to find
the Hawaiians fond of music but not
the Orientals.
you seem to be well on the way
toward solving the race problem Race
distinction seems TO be disappearing
through the medium of the Honolulu
schools. Twenty years from now the
school boys and girls of today viii De
taking part in public affairs and their
experience with other races gained at
school today will stand them in good
stead and they will be better fitted to
decide race questions than even the
present generation are.

ABOUT STATIONARY

Several Issues Showed Slight
Advances at Close.

New York, Sept, 30.-Prices on the
stock market We're practically motion
less today and such slight mobility
| as WAS shown was due entirely to the
shifting efforts of class of small
broom traders. There We're no large
Operations perceptible and no sign of
any outside interest in the market.
The class of operators responsible for
Tie firmer speculative activity We're
passive, or confined themselves TO
protective measures against any eff
fort to depress prices. The stability
of the market corroborates the suppo-
3i|ion that support is offered on de-
cline This show OF stability in itself
helps to keen pressure off the market.
Sepl-stagnation is quite generally "a
trituted in the financial district, 10
the desire to await the passing of the
elections before taking a position in
the market. This market attitude is
partly a reflection of the commercial
world, from which come reports Of

known as the "School Section" celebrat
edrheir golden wedding, they having been
united in marriage fifty years ago in

pastor The celebration of their golden
wedding took place out upon the farm
which their labor developed from the
primeval forests Five sons were born
to them, all of whom are living and all
were present to help celebrate the glad
anniversary, together with grand child
rem, relatives and old neighbors and

Editor Realizes Situation,

1t has come to a time when tho
business man must take note OF the
mail order concerns. They are con-
tinually growing larger and taking
more trade out of the smaller towns.
or course we all know that It is not
right for Williamsburg people to send
their money to Chicago or New York
or other places for their groceries,
dry goods, etc, when we have people,
neighbors and friends selling the
same goods right at home The local
merchant has no one to blame but
himself for the condition which now
exists. This may be a little hard but
1t is true. Many of the local mer
chants do not let their old customers,
and prospective new ones, know Of
the articles they keep by advertising
them. The mail order houses are the
largest and most successful advertls-
ers in the world, and without adver-
tising they could do no business Now,
II they can afford to spend hundreds
OF thousands of dollars a year to keep
their old customers informed and to get
new ones, the local merchant could nut
