SCHOOL DAYS
And STUDIES

To most children of school age the
opening day OF the school year is in.

College OF Hawaii and the Punahou
schools convened there were many
heavy hearted girls and boys, partic-
ulanly among those who were enter.
ing upon the first or second year of
college and the junior or senior year
in the high school II would be
wrong 10 say that the average school
child is over bright, for he seldom is.
The cause OF the heayy-heartedness
In the girl and boy is that many OF
them feel that they will never make
enough points to graduate.
The poinl.making in college and
high school Is often the bane of the
students life. The taking up and
dropping of subjects, too, is a hind.
rance to the pupil. In Ahe days OF
our grandparents there was little
choice in the selection OF subjects,
and as for receiving a passing mark,
well every student knew that he must
have q certain average, and as rule
they made the average and when pos
sible scored IL In those days more
attention was paid to the subjects
that counted. and not to the little
frills that might just as well be learn
ed out OF the school hours. The dead
and foreign languages seem to pre-
sent many OF the difficulties to the
average student These subjects Of

aged aud give up their high school
work because Of them.
Some years ago there was q boy
who was unable to really master any
OF his subjects In school and was
often told kby his teacher that he
never would make anything OF him.
self. This worried the chap to such
an extent that he finally decided TO
give up his school work and try to
fight his way and gain recognition In
the business world, backed up by the
grounding received In grammar
school. At first he was opposed by
his parents and teachers. Some who
knew him well said that like every
thing that he tried to do, the venture
would "fall through
The remarks made by some Of his
friends reached him, and to use q
slangy expression. his fighting blood
was up, and he decided that he would
make good. no matter what obstacles

of success at any price in his mind he
secured position and even his en-

work would be satisfactory

RECREATIONS
FOUR GOOD FILMS
AT HAWAII TONIGHT

With four good films the Hawaii
theater last night again more than
held its own, both from the standpoint
of the audience and the management,
and clearly demonstrated that a pro-
gram of good, clean films will receive
the patronage it warrants.
A very amusing picture was "Roped
In" cowboy film full of funny situa-
tons, which proved strong antidote
for the proverbial blues which give
Monday the title of Blue Monday. If
there were any blue persons after the
picture was thrown on the screen 1t
required microscope to find them
The other subjects were all careful
~ selected and included the most
popular subjects of film life. The
same program will be repeated to-
night.

This article Is not supposed to be
a history Of the success OF an unedu.
Gated man but only shows that even
If student is unable to master Ger.
tain studies II does not necessarily
follow that he will never succeed in
the business world.
Many who fail In their subjects are
girls. It is not likely that any zone
can give the reason for this, not ever
the students. 1t is seldom the case
that a girl will excel in mathematics
still in English and in history she Is
often at the head of the class. Some
girls will do well in the modern lam
guages, yet when 1t comes to one OF
the dead ones she is at loss, and is
apt to wish they were buried, too.
In Some OF the high schools on the
mainland there is literary course
which exempts many of these pupils
from the more difficult subjects and
includes thorough grounding in his
tory and English. OF course this is
only suitable TO one who does not
look forward to commercial career
and in these days most every girl
plans to earn her own spending
money at least.
II the student will, at the opening
Of the year, start out determined to
pass In all subjects and select sub
jects within the scope Of his abilities,
and will make out in his own mind q
certain schedule that puts lessons
first and pleasure second, there is no
reason why he should meet with fall
ure. 1t is not always the student who
has succeeded In having an "A" rec
ord In school who win do the best
work after graduation Often the
pupil who has q steady, even record
neither high nor lows the one
who has the best knowledge of, his
subjects, for he does not have to
cram he does not study too hard,
and while his recitations are seldom
perfect, every day he is usually more
perfect physically than his classmate
whose record is far higher than his
own.
Many girls are subject to nervous
breakdowns at the termination Of
their high school course and are
forced to rest for q year or two be-
fore entering college, and then are
not strong enough to complete their
education. This breakdown is very
often caused by the relaxation that
follows the long years OF struggle for
points and fear that graduation will
not be forthcoming after all. II the
pupil would only remember that grad
uation is not the only thing In life,
and that Il Is not absolutely neces-,
sary, more Of them would probablyl
be more rational about the selection

In 1906 Jones was manager of

the unexpected when he led the
Sox to victory over the Cubs, in
the worlds series.
That year Jones led all league

BOTH SIDES CLAIM
MASSACHUSETTS
Eight Delegates Elect
ed For Roosevelt.

The state of Massachusetts held its
first presidential preferential joint pri-
maries, and William H. Taft ap-
pears to have been the popular choice
for the Republican nomination for
president by a plurality of from 1000
to 1900 over Colonel Roosevelt, al
though the latter's managers also
claim the state.
Owing to the presence on the ballot
of nine names for delegate-at-large, all
pledged to Taft, the regular slate,
headed by Senator W. Murray Crane
and former Governor John L. Bates,
appears to have been defeated. How
the district delegates stand is prob
lematical.
Champ Clark won in a canter over
Wilson, and LaFOllette was scarcely
heard from. The speaker of the house
beat the governor of New Jersey by
$500 in Boston. but in the western
part of the state it was not quite as
bad. The vote was light all over the
state, probably not more than 40 or
As per cent of the total strength of the
state being cast.
When the returns are in from the
districts it is believed
they will show that Taft has two

LINCOLN WANTS SHARE OF
COUNTY ROAD MONEY.
Fires Destroy Homes and Buildings.
What Our NeighbOr Is Doing.


Lincoln has never asked for an act
from the Legislature to permit of incor-
poration, and a share of the money set
apart for the care of streets, which is
usually given to incorporated towns, by
the Levy Court of Sussex county. Such
small places as Roxana, Millville and
Ocean View, which are really only cross
roads, with few people dwelling around
them, receive from one to two hundred
dollars annually from the Levy Court for
up-keep of the streets, or roads, within
the incorporated limits, while Lincoln
not having been incorporated, does not
get one cent, and the many streets and
roads in Lincoln are kept up by the
county supervisor appointed for the roads
in this vicinity. In this instance the
roads are in very capable hands { far more
than they were in his predecessors), and

Dr. Walter Harvey Weed Is making
