LAND OFFICE MOVES
To THE CAPITOL

The Land Office was yesterday moved
into its new quarters in the Capitol,
the rooms formerly occupied by
the Road Supervisor and his force.
Since the county official was obliged to
move out, the rooms have been renovat-
ed and considerably altered to accom-
modate the Land Office and they now
present clean and fresh appearance.
As Marston Campbell, who is now
Land Commissioner as well as Superin-
tendent of Public Works and a few
other things, is at the other end of
the lower floor corridor, the new ar
rangement is much more convenient
than when the Land Office was in the
Judiciary building.
Secretary Tucker expects to have
things in shape in day or two, and
land Office business viii go on as
usual.

TEACHERS JUMP
ON NEW SYSTEM
Strongly Object TO Assignment
to Positions for One
Term Only.

The school teachers of Hawaii went
on record Tuesday afternoon, at the
meeting of the Territorial Teachers
Association, held at the Mckinley High
School, as being strongly opposed to
the new system inaugurated this year
by Superintendent Babbitt of appoint
ing teachers for one school term only
instead of for the full year as hereto
fore. This system is not at ali along
the lines Of the Declaration of the
National Education Association of the
United States, made at, the Denver
Convention July s, of this year. The
association in the declaration said.
"The National Education Association
approves the ever increasing demand
for better qualified teachers in the
common schools. This higher standard
must lead logically to longer tenure
and to a compensation more nearly
commensurate with the quality of prep
aration and with the nature of the
service rendered. "
This, in the opinion Of the Honolulu
teachers, is a step in advance, while
Mr.. Rabbit s move is a step back
ward. Instead of tending toward long
er tenure, it has just the opposite
effect, and therefore does not initiate
for higher standard
The subject was vigorously debated
by the teachers and hearty disapproval
| of the innovation was expressed by
many of them. Superintendent Bah
bitt, it seems, once more has a peda-
g0gic hornet s nest about his ears, if, by
| a long stretch of imagination, pretty
schoolma ANS may be hkened to hor-
| nets. The room in which the meeting
was held certainly buzzed, at all events.
The declaration of principles of the
National Education Association was
unanimously endorsed by the Terrific
| rial Association, which shows what the
teachers as body think of appoint
| ment for the term instead of for the
school year. The opinion was express
ed that the efficiency of the work
would be lessened by shortening the
tenure of appointment, Mr.. Taggard
speaking at length along this line,
Plans were made by the association
| to engage in an active campaign, in
conjunction with other educational or
CARNATIONS, to create more efficient
school system in the Territory. The
executive committee of the association
| will have direct charge of this import
ant work.
Officers for the ensuing year were
| elected as follows: President, Mr.. Gill
more; vice president, Miss Ruth Shaw;
secretary and treasurer, Lena E. Whit
| ford
Superintendent Babbitt disagrees
| with the teachers statement that a
| decided change in the term of appoint
ment has been made, saying the present
| system does not greatly differ from the
old one, except as it gives him greater
! latitude to make such changes and
| transfers as he shall think for the bet
terment of school conditions. There
is no intention, he says, to make a
general readjustment of school assign
ments at the end of the term.

WILD RUSH On TAX
OFFICE YESTERDAY

There was a rush on the tax Office
yesterday, about thirty citizens ap-
pearing before the window at which
money is taken in. and clamoring to
be allowed to contribute their mites
to the support of the government.
The thirty-odd eager ones who want
ed the tax office to take their money
were the Territorial employees on the
Auditor s list whose salary warrants
were to be held up yesterday because
they had failed to settle their indebt-
edness to the government. The little
'eminder in the newspapers appeared
TO have brought the matter suddenly
to their minds and they fastened to
get it off by paying their taxes. The
auditor was thus able to avoid the
painful necessity of holding up their
warrants

END OF THE FROLIC.

1t was a frolic. The fleet has re-
turned home after having circled the
globe and without meeting a single
enemy. At least no enmity was shown
while the fleet was present though
Japan seemed to become bellicose as
soon as the flees passed through the
Suez canal.
Now let it be hoped that the spec
tscle of 16 big battleships plowing
through the brine with the stars and
stripes at mastheads has done some
good The fleet represented the
country's good right arm. Let us
hope it impressed the word with the
idea that the United States may be
great in war as we'll as in peace.
There are many who do not be-
lieve in a good navy. They think that
the millinium is drawing nigh and
that battleships are a useless expense.
But they are wrong. The world is
still largely barbaric. The reign Of
might is still in force and all stories
to the contrary are fiction. It will be
many years before the nations of the
world give up their armaments. At
this time there are many who believe
that a war between the white and the
yellow races is inevitable Be this as
it may, it is well for the United states

big navies so can the United states.

THE TRUTH ABOUT THEM.

Facts presented by Senator c. j.
smith and given elsewhere in this pa
per show that before they were kill
ed ana since that time the normal
schools have been most ouuageously
slandered
Enemies of the school charge that
they cost $1,000 per annum per stu
dent But the figures show the cost
to be close TO SIS per annum. This is
a wide discrepancy Then it was
shown on the floor of the senate by
Senator smith. who fought hard and
consistently for the normal schools,
that the annual cost per normal stu
dent is far less than the per capita
cost for university students.
II the normal schools have been a
graft, then the angel at the door of
heaven is also a CRATER In the nor
nal schools heads Of departments
have been working for salaries that
would be scorned by store clerks.
They have been doing work Of the ut
most Importance on salaries that
scarcely meet their living expenses
At Monmouth the professors have Of
fered 70 work the remainder of the
school year for SIS per month each in
order that the students may complete
their work. In that school are some
of the strongest educators in the
state. They are showing a self sacri-
flee that is commendable. Yet these
men are called grafters.
In view OF all this, who can deny
that the senate committed a diaboli-
cal deed when It killed the normal
schools. That it was such the East
Oregonian fully believes. This paper
has claimed repeatedly that the nor
mails were being libeled. The figures
given by Senator Smith show that
such was the case.
The death of the normal schools
was due 10 several reasons. The Ore
gonlan. with it's hide bound pessim-
ism. had much to do with t. Then
many who know nothing about edu-
cation and care nothing about such
things as normal schools took up the
cry. other senator's took up the
fight because Of political animosities
and as a result the schools were kill
ed.
True. the fight is over now and fur
ther argument at this time may seem
useless. But the subject Of normal
education viii come up again. It Is
well that the people should know the
truth about the matter and it is for
this purpose the subject is treated
here. The substance Of the whole
matter is that the normal schools
were viciously slandered and then
killed, when they should have been
supported and encouraged. Some day
the people Of oregon will find this
out if they do not know the fact al
ready.

MINERS ACCEPT OLD. TERMS
Long Controversy Between Men
and Operators Settled.
Men Waive Their Demand. For the
Recognition Of the United Mine
Workers Union.

Scranton, Pa.-After weeks of con-
sfderation and much comforting the
anal stage in the work of settling
the differences existing between the
anthracite mine workers and their
anthracite mine workers and their.
employers has been reached. and the
controversy is ended. The tri-district
convention of the union miners in the
Court House here unanimously APP
proved the three-year agreement
reached by their representatives with
the operators and authorized them to
sign it in Philadelphia. The agree
ment is Identical with the one signed
three years ago In New York, with
the following additional conditions,
which the operators have conceded
the men:
"The rate which shall be paid for
new work shall not be less than the
rates paid under the Strike Commits
sion's award for old work of a similar
kind or character.
"The arrangement and decisions of
the Cancellation Board permitting the
collection of dues on the company
property and the posting of notices
thereon shall continue during the
life of this agreement.
IAN employe discharged for being
a member Of a union shall have q
right to appeal his case to the Con-
Citation Board for final adjustment.
ANY dispute arising at a colliery
under the terms Of this agreement
must first be taken up with the mine
foreman and superintendent by en-
ploye or committee of employees d.
rectly interested before it can be
taken up with the Cancellation Board
for final adjustment.
employers shall issue pay state
ments designating the name of the
company. the name of the employe,
the colliery where employed, the
amount of wages and the class of
work performed"
The United Mine Workers Union
under the agreement Is not officially
recognized, the miners having waived
this demand. The agreement will be
signed by the members of the miners
committee of seven without any off,
cial reference to the organization.
They will sign it simply ION behalf
OF tho representatives Of the anthra-
cite mine workers." as they did in
New York three years ago. The en-
| QAOJOA0 COAAA1IIC0 Vi ScVSu Will Sl&u
1t ION behalf Of the anthracite opera
tors"
The convention was harmonious.
While there were differences of opin-
lon on some matters and many of
the delegates were anxious to tell
their grievances before the agreement
was adopted, they were all unanimous
for the proposition when the final
vote was taken.
