HONOR MEMORY
Of THE MOTHERS
Honolulu Men Invited to Take
Part in a Mothers
Day" Event.

A committee has been appointed, at
the suggestion of the Y. M. G. A., to
promote the observance of next Sun
day, May 9, as Mothers Day in Homo
lulu.
Letters are being addressed to the
different corporations of the city ask
ing them to post bulletins urging their
employees to join in the observance and
suggesting that they provide each of
their employees with white carnations.
Last year many corporations in other
cities did this.
The various fraternal organizations
will be asked to cooperate, and the min
listers of the churches will many of them
refer to it in their sermons on Sunday.
The four things that every man in
Honolulu is asked to do in memory of
his mother on that day Sunday, May
81, are:
1. Every young man should wear a
white flower in his coat lapel, prefer
able white carnation.
2. He should write a letter to his
mother, if she is living.
3. He should attend church services
in the morning, and spend the whole
day as he thinks his mother would have
him spend it.
4. He should do some definite kind
act.
In city like Honolulu, filed with
men away from home, in Office, shop
store and barracks, such a movement
should meet with hearty response.
Let every man who reads this consider
himself committee of one to promote
the day. Tell your friends and get
them to do this in memory of mother

THINKS EDUCATION
IS RUNNING HAWAII

A correspondent in the Washington
Herald of April -, complains that the
systems of education in force in Hawaii,
the Philippines and Porto Rico are
spelling the people and running the
countries. The letter, which is signed
by Francis B. Livesey, states:

"A commission was appointed to in
vestigate the industries of Porto Rico,
and the chairman, Louis Manor Rivera,

report before President Taft.

than under our rule, and that since our
occupation the coffee industry-the
most important of all-has been ruined

Ayres was the superintendent of edu

result.

The same educational mistake is beini

"Thus we see that all our insular pos

results in education that we have Ion
witnessed here, as Mr.. Carey says in t.
same connection:
As education increases in TIN
