Grand Advance
In Educational
System Of Hawaii

never attend the high school, These
boys may be the first to enter the agri.
cultural school.
The desire of the plantation, which
is financing the new industrial school,
is to get boys who will make good,
and who can take advantage of the
agricultural education they will get.
The lads who graduate from the agri-
cultural school will be the lunas and
skilled mechanics of the future.
ITO Round out Education"
THE establishment of the Kahuku
agricultural school will round out the
educational system of Hawaii" said
Inspector Gibson this morning, and
boys who, in the ordinary course of
events, do not go from the lower
schools to the high schools will be
able to enter the agricultural schools
and learn to cultivate the soil

LYLE BACK WITH SCHEME
FOR FLOATING DRYDOCK

Mr.. Lyle will put his recommends
tions before the directors OF the
Inter-Island company, and it will be
for them, of course, to say what class
of drydock if any, will be built here.
The lease of the land on which is sit
uated the marine railway will expire
in about a year from now, and, as
this is said to be owned by the naval
authorities, it is not likely that the
lease will be renewed Anyway, the
marine railway is too small for pres
ent requirements, for it is taxed to
its fullest capacity when the Mauna
Kea is hauled up; in fact it is almost
straining the structure to haul the
Mauna Kea up. Not long ago the
affair broke and the Mauna Kea ran
down the ways into the water again,
but fortunately doing no damage.

Within short time from now it is
certain that the secondary industrial
school for boys will be started at Ka.
huku plantation. Inspector Gibson, OF
the education department, is working
on the details of the scheme at pres
ent. He is writing to, and interview
ing, parents of boys who are desirous
of entering the school. Fifty boys are
required for a beginning, and it is
thought that there will be little trou-
BILE in obtaining that number.
In the vicinity of Kahuku plantation
there are some boys who would, it is
thought, be very suitable, and an eff
fort to get them will be made. Boys
from IA to II years of age are thought
to be the best. These boys will be Sc
lected, therefore, and win be of a good
type. At the Kahuku school there arc
at present boys who will probably

Alexander Lyle, when seen this
afternoon on his return to Honolulu
by the Lurline, explained that he had
been to New York and elsewhere
looking into the question of obtain
ing a suitable floating drydock for
Honolulu on behalf of the Inter-Island
Steam Navigation Company.
He stated that he had seen some.
thing that would be suitable to the
requirements of the growing trade
here. He had in mind the recon-
mending OF a dock that would accom-
modate steamers right up to $500
tons. The Sierra, for instance could
be taken on this drydock If necessary
The structure is so built that it can
be enlarged as the trade warrants it,
without very much trouble, or having
to reconstruct the whole affair.

FREAR Will
REPLY AT AN
EARLY DATE

There are several things that are
very surprising about the Kuhio
charges" said Governor Frear to a
Star representative this morning,
"and the first is that the Delegate
should be so careless in making state
ments which anyone at all familiar
with the situation would know could
so easily be refuted and that, too, by
records and not merely by oral testi-
mony
"The Delegate should have known
that the charges would not be acted
on favorably to him, without first Civ
ing the other side an opportunity to
be heard.
Another surprising thing is that,
after all this ransacking of the Ter
ritory for cases that could possibly be
set forth as apparently against me,
on a presentation of one side of the
facts-or fiction, as the case might
be,-the Delegate has been able to
produce so little.
ut is, of course, perfectly clear who
had most to do with furnishing the

Mr.. M'CLELLAN'S
POSITION STATED

Supervisor w. H. Mcclellan, refer
ring to his change of position on the
road ordinance vote last night where
by Murray was thrown down and a
new big four created, stated to Star
reporter this morning that he had all
along been in favor of centralized au-
thority in road matters.
81 frequently told the board that
whenever a proper ordinance was in
troduced to bring this about | should
vote for it. So when the measure now
passed first reading came up last night
| simply kept my word
"As originally drawn, the existing
ordinance placed the power in the
hands of the city and county engineer,
but Murray himself proposed an
amendment that carried, which gave
the district road overseers more
swing.
Everybody knows l was not for
Charles Wilson, but when the major
ity got legislation taking the appoint
ing power from the mayor they did
things to suit themselves That change
was obtained on the plea that it would
stop quarreling between the mayor
and board about appointments and ap-
pointees.
81 don't suppose Gere will keep Viii
son on, as Wilson has never accepted
advice or direction from him

and specifications.
'I expect to reply at an early date
to the charges and, in order to do so
as quickly as possible will limit my
hours for receiving visitors consider
ably. On account of the number OF
specifications, and the time it will
take to look up records, will have to
have considerable time to myself"
The heads of different departments
were called in by the Governor this
morning, and they were instructed to
get all the records bearing on the
charges against the chief executive
ready, so that answers to the various
specifications may be made

After Ex-Governor Carter's depart
ure for the Coast this morning the
Bulletin came out with this purported
interview:
[ believe that Governor Frear's
reappointment would be tactical
mistake. Understand me, do not
mean, in saying this, that l am
in sympathy with all of Kuhio's
charges or that am lined up with
the forces supporting him. AS l
have previously stated in private,

IS GEORGE CARTER A
CANDIDATE FOR FREAR'S JOB?

the reason why I believe his ap-
pointment would be a mistake
lies in the fact that he is not
close to the people of the Terri
tory.
1t was laughingly suggested on the
street that Carter always copied Roose-
welt when he was Governor and that
since Roosevelt had apparently begun
feeling for another term Carter could
only follow suit.
The Governor, when called up, had
no comment to make.
