Be Modest.

Never seem to affect the character
in which you wish to shine. Modesty
is the only sure bait when you angle
for praise. BY modesty do not
mean timidity and awkward bashful-
ness. On the contrary. be inwardly
firm and steady. know your own
value, but take care to let nobody dis
cover that you know 1t. Whatever
real merit you have, other people will
discover and people always magnify
their own discoveries. as they lessen
those Of others.-Lord Chesterfield

Goat Proved Poor Sailor.

While a man temporarily abandoned
his skin along the banks OF the Ches-
ter river in Pennsylvania the other day
a goat jumped into the craft. The
animal chewed the shore line. The
skin swung around in the current and
was some distance away when the
owner returned. The goat ran from
stern to PROV and back again until
one Of its hoofs punctured the craft.
The skiff quickly filled with water and
sank, taking the goat with it. The
goat was drowned.

CHILD LIFE At

A mother Of three or four children
often finds That before the day is
over she is almost al her wits end
in search Of some sOI' o. amusement
for the kiddies. but just imagine
spending the whole day with from
twenty-five to a hundred children,
who are neither your own nor OF your

Alice OlesOn does day after day. Miss
OlesUn is In charge Of the Children's
Playground at the corner Of Smith and
Beretania Streets and she gives her

children in that district who wish to
make use of the play ground. Miss
Oleson is a much-loved big sister to

half-grown girls who spend a large
part of the day there. She is hardly
ever spoken of or addressed as any

MORE TEACHERS
CRY FROM ALL
TERRITORY
Department Finds Estimates
of Last Legislature Handi-
cap Work This Fall

From all over the Territory the cry
for more teachers is arising. but. as
stated in yesterdays issue, the de
mand can not be met, because the
limit of the appropriation for payrolls
has been reached.
Excessive wisdom of the last Leg
islature is said to be the cause of this
undesirable state of affairs. On the
heads of the school commissions re-
port. an attempt was made by the
administration to have a system for
the pay Of teachers which should be
elastic enough to provide against any
demand for teachers that a normal
increase of pupils might create. In
the scheme for financing the schools
which was evolved, it was thought
that this phase Of the educational
problem had been satisfactorily de-
termined.
AS the proposals came from the
department, the proportion of teach
ers to pupils was one to twenty-five.
Members of the Legislature. however,
thought this was a high average num-
Der of teachers and they managed to
have the proportion changed to one
teacher for every thirty-five pupils.
The trouble with their estimating, or
rather guessing, it is now claimed, was
that they took no account of the high
schools and industrial schools, in
which necessarily each pupil comes
under the sway of several teachers.
The proportion, also includes super
Vising principals. These overlooked
or ignored considerations make a ma
terial difference in the situation. Thus
it comes that the appropriation for
teachers was made too small to meet
the increase of attendance that lhas
occurred at the opening of the pres
ent term. AS stated yesterday, the
limit has been reached.
Besides this condition on Oahu, it
exists on the other islands. Inspec-
tor T. H. Gibson said this morning
that there is cry for more teachers
from Hilo, Laupahoehoe and Hama
kua, no less than four additional
teachers being wanted in Hamakua
district. What the entire deficiency.
incapable of being supplied until the
Legislature meets, amounts to. will
not be known until reports are re-
ceived from all of the supervising
principals.

the photographer who took it disap-

the characteristics Of each race were

Chinese was absolutely correct in his

The Japanese was more artistic, both
in the building Of his house and in
the planting of his garden Miss Ole

playground affords wonderful oppor-
tunitieS for the study of race charaC-
teriStics.

Fairgrounds and each day the iron
floors and sandbOXes are hygienically
cleaned. When the little ones go
there with cuts and sores, Miss Ole

bandages them but watches each day
for Improvement in them.

has been much improvement in the
children who gather there day after

pride in being noticed by their big

wish to be looked upon favorably.

Since the old-fashioned theory Of cur

given up by scientists. many different
SalveS have been tried for skin diseases.
But it has been found that these salves
only clog the pores and cannot penetrate
to the inner skin below the epidermis
where the eczema germs are lodged.
This-the quality of penetrating
