passage of the House bill creating a leg

NEW IDEAS FOR THE SCHOOLS.

The country is DubbIinw over with new ideas about the public schools. Not all of them are practical. some are probably foolish, but their mullipliriIy proves that people have at last got rid of the notion that ihc schools are perfect and have be- gun to think on the subject. The school committee of the NaiIun- al Educat ional AsSuriaiiun re- ported at ills last meeting that Inc studies pursued in the com mon schools were SimHularly ir June and worthless. How to in- frodlcr SuIn"iliinS more profit able lS nilr of Lhr great uurS- lions of the day. PrrhapS il is the greatest of all questions. for IL is being admitted even h$ pnli- tlclans and p"nagOgueS that the education of the young Is about inc most important work IhiS generation has on hand.
 Some novel thoughts which ought to rXriIe discussion are contributed tn the school qucs- tion by Superintendent William Wirt, of Gary, Ind. To begin with, he advocates making the schools "ilrXiblc." SO that they will suit the needs of the indi- ridual child. He would cut the school to fit inc child instead of cutting the child 10 fit the school, as the current practice is.
 But that is an old, story. It is one of the things which every body cOnfesscS ought l0 be done, but which nobody ever expects to see done. We pass to some of his suggestions which are less hacknNcd. For one thing. Mr. Wirt wants the schools kept open all the time. all through the year, W" take il. and evenings as well as mornings and afternoons. Why not? At night the elders of the district could resume fhrir hlh-ilnlr studies and dn SmlS in the rule of Ihrrr and square root as they hi.I in yrSirrHrar. No doubt they would enjoy il, and If the children went along they would attain another advaiaye which Mr. WirI wishes for them. that of asSocialing in school with persons older and wiser than themselves. The grading system has many advantages but it. has in" disadvanIag" of drpriving the young of the cnmpaniOnship of their big brnihcrS and sisters.
 lii city schnnIS Mr.. W'irl wants tO sec illtlr stores started where the children can spend their pocket money under proper influ- "nrrS. Then h" advocates giving inc pupils d chance In entertain their friends when they viSii inc school. These ideas sound cry sLraugr. bul are they nnd Guud?

WHEY OUR MEATS ERE HIGH.

The way, of Ihr trusts lia>" been illustrated hy I!Ir sale in New York a few days ag" of AIucrican beef which had been shipped io England and then shipped back here mad sold chcap- rr than il . could have been bought in New York nripiually. The cost of transportation both ways and Inc duties levied were paid and the dcalrr still got bargain over his rivals who bought at first hand.
 How does Ihis happen? IL is an economic anomaly. The meat supply of the Argentine and Oth- CT South American fields is close at our hand. All we have to do to avail ourselves of this great food supply for our people is to open Inc doors and let it come in. So long as the door is closed by the tariff upon direct impOrtatidns, the people living in this "pro- tected" land must pay just what the great meat trust, controlling the sources of this food, may please to exact.
 In the final analysis it. appears that the beer trust makes it's money not only by legitimate competition abroad but through

IeVe ne is good President for the Nation as whole
Hawaii cannot sit in judgment on all the acts of omission
and commission committed by Mr.. Taft since he has been
n office. 1t is the duty of the Republicans in this part of
Inc country to draw their conclusions on whether Mr. Taft
or one OF his known opponents will best serve American in
ereStS in this part of the world As this paper sees there
can be but one answer.
The b u II Ell n ConfeSSes to a great admiration for
Senator La Toilette. He has solved in his own State manv
problems that are now National issues. Hon. lanes R.

But the TACT still remains that the attitude of the Proures.
sveS as thus far expressed absolutely rnols TO the f
ure OF Hawaii and American interests in the Pacific Thew
want to XII Hawaii to its ills. Generally speaking the
leaders OF the ProgessWes arc against the protective tariff
they believe in the reduction of the army and thew can't en-

that is practical for building up the merchant marine in COM

statesmen who DO not seem to realize that the United
States OF America has waterfront.
Perhaps they not all that they SEEM but that's the
way they size up from this distance and from the meas
ureS they are supporting or opposing.
President Taft the other hand rings true on every pont
affecting American interests in the Pacific. He has been in
this part OF the world and knows the great future that is
before u.s. He understands that the United States bv

attitude of Hawaii the Philippine tariff For this reason
some of our people speak Of him as nrendy It is about
time they should forget that idea. The Philippine tariff has
been accepted and Hawaii not only still lives but the cause
for Presidential prickIy heat has ceased to exist
Now the question arises whether Republicans in Hawaii
are to act the facts as they appear to Americans in a
wall and the Pacific are supposed to pass judgment the
whole United States
1t Mr.. Taft had done anything radically and vicoIsy
wrong there could be but answer to this question We
should join with the decent of the mainland and assist
in ousting him.
But we must admit there is at least an honest difference of
opinion on this point.
We know Mr.. Roosevelt is disappointed in Mr. Taft and
Roosevelt was and is good friend of Hawaii We know
that Mr. TAFT is being most generously attacked and seems
to have lost some friends This is hard to understand
But is this any reason why we of Hawaii should desert Mr.
TAFT when we know that far American policies in the
Pacific are concerned he has been ABSOLUTELY RIGHT?
