REV. Plus AT ROGER WILLIAMS.
The Rev. Plus, of the Publishing
Board delivered a very sane and ap
propriate address before the student
body at Roger Williams the morning
of Thanksgiving. He presented to us
many beautiful phases of public life
that will not soon be forgotten by
those who heard him. His principal
thought was the idea of being thank
full. Rev Plus is a forceful speake"
in the first place, and to bring to us
this message of thankfulness at such
an opportune timer is a treat rarely
enjoytd by ardent hearers. We thank
him very much and hope he will come
again at his convenience.
The Y. W. c. A. of Roger Williams
has received many letters from the
delegates who were it's guests during
the conference rel here in Nashville
a few weews ago, expressing their
kindly appreciation for the hospitality
rendered them by the aforesaid asso-
cation. 1t is the purpose of not only
this organization but the school as

InStra action.

In the matter of instruction the
teachers have been earnest, competent
and progressive. Each teacner seems
to have been working with but one
end in view-thei intellectual and
moral advancement of the pupils.
The classes appear to be in better con-
dtion than at any time in their his
tory. This improvement is due to
the fact that the teachers have taken
pains to prepare themselves for their
important duties.

take delight In their work and are
happy when the hour for cooking ar
rives. The boys are equally enthu-
siastic over their wood work and Of

Need of Neto High School
While the excellent condition of
the school is matter of personal
qualification to me, who holds its des-
TINY in trust, candor compels me to
state that some features are not just
what they should be- The greatest
need Of the school is a new building,
planned and equipped for high school
work. The transfer of the seventh
grades from all over the city to The
first floor of the high school building
! has caused the transfer of the S-B
grade to the high school floor. This
has resulted in very crowded condi-
ton. The number of pupils in some
classes running as high as so and 60
to the teacher The seating and clas-
sification Of grammar grades on the
same floor with high school pupils is
a bad arrangement A high school
and grammar school are essentially
different. While the work of the
high school is an extension of the
work of the grammar school, the
subjects are different and the meth
DDS of instruction and discipline are
also different. A high school build
ing should be differently constructed
from a grammar school building. 1t
should include a laboratory in which
to do the work in physics and chem
istry. This we have never had and
the work in science has suffered ac-
cordingly. These remarks will show
that the need of new building for
colored children, planned and con,
structed for high school purposes has
become a necessity.
Obstacles to the Best Work.
Successful work in the high school
has been hampered to some extent by
two great obstacles-poor work in
F., grades below the high school and
poor attendance. Pupils sometimes
reach the high school who are def
cient in English. Time has to be
taken to teach things which should
have been learned in lower grades.
The question of attendance in the
high school is more serious than in
the grammar schools. The pupils are
large and old enough to work. A
large per cent of them are in service.
Their time is not their own. Some
times they are detained by their en-
ployers, few of whom do not al
ways manifest sympathetic disposi-
tion to let them off to school. This is
"a condition, however, which We can
not control and we are meeting it as
best we can.

welfare of the children of Pearl High

years the boys out-numbered the

and the exercises were witnessed by
one of the largest audiences ever as

terms of the popularity of the school.

PASADENA MAN HEADS THE
COMET EXPEDITION To HAWAII

CHICAGO, Feb. Halleys comet,
on which all eyes in the astronomical
world are now conferred, is about
100000 times as big as the earth"
is the statement of Prof. Edwin b.
Frost, director of the Yerkes Obser-
vatory, at Williams Bay, Wis, and
continuing, he says: "Yet although
the earths gravity may change the
orbit of the comet, the earth's path
through the sky will be unaffected by
the approaching proximity of the two
bodies"
This supplements information con-
tanned in a Circular respecting oD-
servation of Haley's comet, 191O,''
which has just been issued by the
Astronomical and Astrophysical So
ciety of America.
The circular that an expedition to
observe and photograph HaIley's
comet from the Hawaiian Islands is
to be sent out by the society, and set
forth that:
I'm view of possible large pertur-
bations arising from the close ap-
proach of the comet to Venus on May
and to the earth on May 16, merid-
ian observations are especially de-
sired during the period in which the
comet is sufficiently bright for that
purpose"
What are these possible large per-
turbations?" Professor Frost was
asked.
THAT merely means" was the re-
ply, that on these dates the comet
will be near enough the planets
mentioned to be affected by their at
traction"
Will that affect their orbits?"
ut won't affect the orbit of Venus
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1910-02-26

or of the earth, but it is likely to
affect the comets orbit. That is one
reason why we want to get meridian
observations, which will show almost
exactly these orbital changes.
There will be an interesting spec
tacle, by the way, on May 1, when
the comet is near to Venus. The
planet and the comet will be pract-
ically the same distance from che
earth and every one will be able to
see their relative size.''
'The comets bulk exceeds that Of
Venus about 100000 times. 1t is not
solid matter, however. It is gaseous
and its mass is comparatively slight.
Therefore, its attraction will not at
feet the planets, while the solid,
heavy planets are likely to affect it
good deal. The earth and Venus are
about the same size, so that the earth,
too, is about one-millionth of the size
of the comet"

servatory at Pasadena, Cal, will head
