The following is a review of Ha-
wall school affairs, with draft of
bill to aid industrial schools, by
Superintendent Pope:
INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION.
In Hawaii, as well as in America, in
dustrial education forms a very inn
portant part of our present system of
education. For more than quarter Of
century it has produced dominant in
fiuence throughout the United States.
In Hawaii the influence of industrial
education was felt much earlier on
account of the peculiar needs of the
people. AS early as 1926 Industrial
education was a leading feature. 1t
taught the Hawaiians the civil and
domestic arts. The story of its de-
velopment in Hawaii is not only inter-
esting, but marvellous. In eighty years
it has changed an almost savage peo-
pie to a highly civilized state. A
careful examination of the school re-
ports from the beginning of a school
department in the Hawaiian govern
ment to the present day shows that
the famous educators, Richard Arm
strong, William Richards, c. r. Bish-
op and A. T. Atkinson were ardent
advocates of industrial education. One
of these most worthy educators says:
81 believe that the industrial system
that has taken root in our education
plan, and that is making such fine
progress, will, in the end, prove to be
one of the greatest blessings socially
economically and industrially, that
could ever come to the American peo-
pie"
In 1881 Hawaii could boast of hav.
ing one of the foremost industrial
schools in the world, the Lahainaluns
school on Maui. In those early days
they taught, aside from the regular
work, various branches of practica
agriculture, such as the growing o
taro and other useful crops. The pu
pills constructed irrigation bitches
practised surveying and printed many
of the early textbooks and much 9th
er printed matter used throughout the
Islands. For some years the pupils o.
Lahainaluna have been publishinf

five in number, each division
being in charge of a supervising prin-
cipal whose duty it IS to direct and
help the teachers OF their respective
districts in every way toward keeping
the schools throughout the Territory
operating according to the course Of
study.
There is one school inspector who
investigates all matters pertaining to
the work, receives reports from super
vising principals and principals, and
keeps a complete check on much Of
the work that cannot receive the at
tention of the superintendent
By centralising a number of schools
i'm Honolulu, and that of Hilo there is
more uniformity of grades and larg-
.er number of pupils can be educated
with less number of teachers than
would otherwise be required. With the
slight change in plan it has been pos
sible for the department to place elev-
en- teachers.
1t has been the aim of the admins
tration to make the educational sys-
tenn complete throughout, progressive.
and to conduct it as a signle unit in
a businesslike manner by persons who
are expert
A bill has been drafted, which if
passed, will materially assist the de.
velopment of industrial schools in the
Territory. 1t is proposed to have It
introduced by a Senator at an early
date. The bill in it's present form is
as follows, but, of course, is subject tc
amendments:
Whereas the welfare of Hawaii is
largely dependent on the development
of her agricultural resources and the
industries related thereto, and where.
as according to the school regula.
tons of the Territory, there is a
period between the age when compul
sorry attendance at school ceases and
the age when boys and girls become
productive workers in the commune
ty. Consequently there is a para
mount need of Continuation Schools
of Agricultural and industrial type.
Resolved, therefore, that there be
established on each of the four is
lands, Kauai Oahu, Maui and Hawaii
schools contiguous to important cen
ters of industry that shall give in
struction in agriculture, home econo
mics, the trades and industries. This
instruction shall be given in fields

shall be of such a practical nature

War on Mosquitoes

War now being waged by the State
of New Jersey against it's local ban
ditti, the mosquitoes, has brought out
facts about these pests that have been
unknown, even to Government ex-
perts. The best-known works on the
subject state without reserve that
mosquitoes are purely a local pest
since they are weak of wing and can
not fly far; hence local measures are
successful in exterminating them Jer-
seyites have never been satisfied of
the truth of this dictum, and now Prof
John B. Smith, under whose direction
the State work is being carried on,
tells us that 30 per cent of the most
annoying mosquitoes breed in salt
marshes and fly as far as forty miles
inland, leaving the remaining 10 per
cent to- be dealt with by local option,
Professor Smith has therefore devot-
ed himself to the salt marshes, the
home and the nursery of the State
wide insect The following paragraphs
are from an abstract in the Engineer
ing Magazine of an account of his
work contributed by Professor Smith
to Engineering News. We read;

problem, it was found that instead of
a few, there were many species OF
mosquitoes; instead Of great uniform
ity, there was great diversity of life
history; instead of being home bodies,
some forms were great travellers, and
that a locality might be almost I'M
bearably afflicted without breeding
single specimen.
Another vitally important fact
brought out by my investigation was
Che says). that two species bred
abundantly only on salt marshes
along our coast, and that both these
species were migrants, flying as far
inland as forty miles under favorable
conditions. Furthermore. that there
might be from six to eight broods an
nually on these marshes, out of wat
er ranging from pure salt tide to fresh
rain In New Jersey alone there are
over 10000 acres of salt marsh. and
over half of that is. or until recently
has been, mosquito breeding ground
My work demonstrated that 80 per
cent of the pestiferous specimens in
the State we're of the salt-marsh spe-
cies, and the Importance of dealing

MANY PEOPLE INJURED WHEN
BIG GRAND STAND COLLAPSED
ERROR MADE IN GAME LAW.
Wild Turkey Hens, Pheasants and
Grouse Can Be Shot Any Time.

Atlanta, Aug. 26.-Expert lawyers
declare that the new Georgia game
law. as signed by the governor and
filed as a statute with the secretary
of state, is absolutely powerless to
protect will turkey hens, pheasants,
and grouse, and that these birds, un-
3er the letter of the law, may be
shot in Georgia now at any time. in
and out of reasonable season, until the
year 1916, unless the legislature
amends the law.
1t wasn't intended to be that way.
The law as passed by the legislature
roNided that no wild turkey hens or
pheasants or grouse should be killed
at ell prior to 1916, but the copying
clerk passed it up. and by the sub
stitution of from" for the phrase
prior to-" changed the whole mean
ing of the section.
Technically, under this botched law
wild turkey hens could be slaughtered
from one end of the year to the other
and wild turkeys be practically ex-
terminated in Georgia, but it is be-
lieved that Game Warden Jesse Mer-
Ger will find some adequate way to
stop up the glaring gap until next
year when the legislature can amend

IN JUST TWO MONTHS BRUINS
WICK WILL PULL OFF HER
QUIET CITY PRIMARY.

Nineteen eleven has been an Off
year, politically, the voters not hav-
ing been called upon a single time in
Brunswick to express their prefer
ences at the polls, but in just two
more months the first election of the
year will be held, when four alder
men will be first nominated and then
elected.
1t is not expected, however, that the
people of the city will witness any
campaign and it may occur for once
that there will not even be any op-
position for the places.
One alderman is to be elected from
each ward. Those whose terms ex-
pire, at the end of the. present year
are: G. H. Cook, from the First ward
A. j. Nicholson, from the second, L.
Ludwig, from the third, and A. H.
Boyle from the Fourth. Whether OF
not these four aldermen will offer for
reelection is not yet known. None
OF the quartet is discussing the mat
ter and it is safe to say that not
one of them knows just at this time
whether or not he will again seek the
office.
The registration books will open in
about month and the primary will
probably be held between November
20 and 25.

ST. SIMONS MAY
HAVE new HOTEL
REPORTED THAT BIG BRICK HOS
TELRY WILL BE BUILT
ON ISLAND.
Present Successful Season May Mean
Another Big Hotel for the Island
Next Season-WeIi- Known Hotel
Men are Interested.

A handsome new 150-room brick
hotel for st. Simon next summer!
One good thing always brings an
other. For years st. Simon, the
most popular resort along the south
Atlantic coast, was without a suit
able hotel, and, as a result, people
from al sections of the South, who
desired to spend the summer on the
island, went elsewhere. This season
a handsome new hotel, with ample ac-
commodations for many guests, was
opened, and ever since the opening
day the hostelry has been crowded.
The owners of this hotel have already
announced their intention to add 100
room addition during the coming
winter.
But right on top of this announce
ment comes a well-founded report that
next season st. Simon will have an
other new hotel. According to this
report it will be a brick structure,
two stories and containing $50 rooms
with additional cottages.
The News is not in position Just at
this time to announce who is behind
the movement for this new building.
but those who are interested and who
have almsot definitely decided to
build the hotel, are people already
interested in Brunswick and who are
among the best-known hotel people
in the country. They have already
carefully looked into the situation and
have arrived at the conclusion that
| another hotel on the island will be
paying investment. They have ar
rived at the decision that two up-to-
date hotels at the resort can be kept
filled to their capacity during the
season.
1t is pointed out by these people
that during the present season the
I Accommodations at ST. Simon, even
with the new hotel, have been inade-
qnate. and they point to the fact that
with another hotel ON the sisland
yisitors would come to the island
knowing that they could be accom-.
| modated,
While the question of the new brick
hotel has not as yet been definitely
decided upon. from present indications
| 1t Will be constructed during the COM
ing winter and will be ready to receive
guests at the opening of the season
next year. ~
