The HOUSE and ITS ROW,

The statements made in this paper
regarding the clerkhire and the
translatlons and the automObile-hire
and the various lines of economy or
graft or public-service performances
in the House of Representatives con-
stitute fraction of the broad asser-
tions that have been made by MEM
bers of the House in connection with
the general administration of that
branch of the legislative body.
The sooner the members of the
House stop talking about each other
and proceed to develop what they
claim to know of what the other fell
low is doing, the better II will be for
them and the public service.
The B let II has always taken
the position that a man is assumed
to be innocent until he is proved
guilty. This applies to members of
the Legislature Notwithstanding their
t-ldency to more or less frequently
TX off their discontinue by fool
iah remarks concerning the newspa-
/ 2rs. 80
The House of Representatives has
started its own row and should finish
IL by sitting the charges Of its own
members.
It is to be hoped that a thorough
investigation will find that no one
has talked recklessly and no one is
guilty OF big graft or little graft.

AGRICULTURE IN The SCHOOLS.

Teaching agriculture In the public
schools is becoming more and more
one of the accepted necessities of the
school curriculum throughout the
mainland.
II is to be hoped that the members
of the Legislature of Hawaii who rep
resent an exclusively agricultural
constituenCy-the foundation of Ha-
walls prosperity Is agriculture-will
be sufficiently wide awake to keep
pace with practical education. Here
tofore Hawaii has had the proud dis
tinction of setting the pace for the
mainland in many school matters. But
II will go backward IL the Legislature
holds to the folly of refusing to APP
propriate for manual training in
which agriculture must take prom
inent place.
A writer in the Progressive Educa-
tor referring to the new interest
in teaching agriculture says that
while the agricultural teaching is
not his hobby. the subject will be
agitated until justice is shown the
hundreds of thousands OF children
on the farms In America who will de-
vote most of their lives to farm work.
with only n little additional ex-
pense on the part of the State. agri-
culture can be taught in a practical
way In the schools of every county.
Only a small per cent, of the children
in public schools will ever go abroad.
They care little about the geography
of China or Central Africa, and they
need not devote very much time to
mastering facts in regard to the nu-
merous bodies of water on the globe,
but they need to know something of
the soil upon which they walk every
day and of the nature of the plants
which they will cultivate for many
| years.
"A large number of the people
now engaged in farming are cropping
in the dark. They know absolutely
nothing of the best methods of mod
ern farming. one grain or corn OF
wheat, or one seed of cotton is about
the same to them as another. They
know that one field will produce
more of one product than It will OF
another, but do not know the reason
for this. They know that q crop OF
peas on poor land benefits 1t, but dc
not know why. All of these things
are easily taught, and few simple
plain lessons on practical subjects
taught each month would be of I'M
told benefit to the children in public
schools.
Many Northern States, both East
and West, now teach agriculture in
a practical way in a large per cent. 0!

Indeed, catarrh of the kidneys is more
serious than catarrh affecting some Of
