SCHOOL MATTER
BADLY MUDDLED
Mrs. Scott Supposed to Have
Seized Reins at
H0lual0a.

Who is principal of the school at
Holualoa, Hawaiig The Board of Edu-
cation and Superintendent Rabbit say
that Mr.. Wells is. Mrs. NJ. f. Scott
claims that she is. And it appears to
be up to the courts to decide the ques-
ton.
For the present, at least, Mrs. Scott
appears to hold the whip hand; like
wise the job and the sehoolhouse. When
the School Board, as result of its in
vestigation of the trouble between her
and Mrs. Maydwell, decided to GUST
both of them and transfer them to
other schools, both women rebelled.
Each has her home at Holualoa and can
not afford to leave-not even to please
the Commissioners. So. Mrs. Maydwell
refused to accept any transfer which
would take her away from Kona, and
she expects to GO back to Kona and
take care of her sick husband.
Mrs. Scott, however, was more canny.
She did not tell the Board what she
was going to do, but she calmly took
the Mauna Kea last week and went to
Kona, informing her friends before she
left that she intended to seize the
school and open it up yesterday and
defy the Board to GUST her. 1t is sup
posed that she has carried out her
threat.
What gives her the advantage is that

Scott was on the ground. Superintend-
ent Rabbit tried to save the situation
by sending wireless to Manuel De
Corte, telling him tt open the school.
What has really happened there is what
the Superintendent is waiting in fear
and trembling to hear. But he is say
ing nothing. When questioned about
the matter, he took refuge in flight
with both hands up.

Origin of Sailors Collars.

In the course of an after dinner chat
recorded in Sir Algernon Vests cree
objections, the late Admiral Sir Harry
Keppel, who served in the navy under
four sovereigns, said that the blue col
lars worn by sailors had their origin in
the dressing of the pigtails-which Sir
Harry recolleeted being in use-when a
blue cloth was put on the men s Shout
ders to keep the grease off their
jackets. The pigtails disappeared, but
the collars remain to this day.-London

Decrease of the Army.

The execution of the order limiting
$4,000 men by July l, 1910, will prob
ably be accomplished without difficulty,
and, it was said at the War Department
today. without the reduction having
any appreciable effect on the usefulness
of the military force. The decrease
will be distributed as evenly as pos
sible, in order that there may be no
undue lack of enlisted, men in any
branch. Most commanding officers be-
lieve they are in need of more men.
That is manifestly the case with the
Coast Artillery Corps, the head of
which, Gen. Arthur Murray, will make
recommendations to that effect in his
forthcoming annual report.
The reduction of 5000 men, accord
ing to the latest estimate of the enlist
ed strength, can easily be brought
about by a decrease in the number of
enlistments during the next few
months The rate of discharges in the
regular army by expiration of terms of
enlistment would accomplish the reduc-
ton in three or four months if it were
necessary to apply the order so soon.
Besides. there are nearly 5000 men at
the general recruiting stations not yet
assigned to the various branches of the
army.
The order naming July l next as the
date when the military force must be re-
duced is with view to having the es-
Inmates for maintenance which will go
TO Congress next December prepared
with that decrease in mind. Those es-
Inmates relating to subsistence, trans
portation. clothing and medical supplies
cover the next fiscal year, beginning
July 1. The reduction of the enlisted
force of the army will save the govern
,ment about 100000 in the estimates
for next wear and enable the Secretary
of War To meet the President S wishes
