THE OPPORTUNITY OF 1918 4 go

The legislature CT 1911 did Il grand work for
| the public schools of Hawaii ~ -=
The legislature of 1913 has the opportunity
to do as great work, perhapsa greater, since it
offers mere chance for foundationaI develop
.mcnt
This opportunity is in the establishment of
Vocational training an essential part Ct the
system of public instruction in the territory As
to the value of vocational training that has long
been proved elsewhere-and in communities far
less dependent upon manual industry for sup
port THAN is Hawaii AS to the specific plan that
the lawmakers will be asked to pass upon, that
will soon be presented. There is now at work a
special committee Of the board of education and
q special committee Of practical and interested
citizns, cooperating on the details of plan of
action The plan now discussed is that of a Sc
RIGS of supervisors for the various public schools
of the counties under one supervisor in general
charge Of the work, all of which, of course, is un-
der the department of public instruction.
Vocational training, in spite of its somewhat
formidable name, is perfectly simple, workable
scheme to teach the children of the public
schools some of the things that will help them in
life,-scme of the plain, everyday, home tasks
and duties that give them an insight into the
forces of production. For instance, boys may be
taught the fundamentals of agriculture, girls to
sew neatly skilfully, helpfully. Some of this has
been done in Hawaii. Now it is proposed to
organize the teaching, to give the children great
en- opportunities.
The great work of the legislature of 1911 was
in passing large appropriations that put the
school system of Hawaii on its financial feet,
that extended the benefits O. education to thou
sands of eager young minds. .se
The legislature of 1911 now has the opportu-
nifty to turn these enthusiastic, fresh, inquiring
and aggressive minds to the inspiring truths of
life growing from the soil, of handiwork grow
ing under the skilled touch. And this lesson
leads on and en- to a wonderful system of train
ing to make the childrensof Hawaii citizens of
the productive kind, of the useful kind.

WORKING TOWARD JUDICIAL REFORMS

New York state lawyers have taken up in
earnest the matter of reform in judicial proceed
urC, subject that from time to time has come
before the attorneys of Hawaii While Hawaii
has not the tremendously burdpnsome and com
plicateI civil procedure that New York has
struggled with for years, the principles that are
guiding the mainland attorneys in their efforts
to simplify the code are applicable here or any
wher, else :..".:
New Iork's troubles have largely arisen from
excess Of zeal on the part of codetnkerers Of the
various legislatures. At every session some wor-
thy scion would propose and succeed in passing
an amcndatGry act or acts until the code is now
labyrinth through which the most learned of
barristtrS can scarcely proceed. =.~.:
The New York bars special committee has
rendered report which deserves attention here
The committee suggests that all matters relating
to substantive law and special practice shall be
eliminated from the new code and be incorpor-
ated in appropriate consolidated laws or in the
rev statutes. 1t is urged that the bulk of the
rules Of practice be made by the courts them
selves, to provide SO far as possible for but one
form of action one trial of facts and one course
of appeals. Changes undermining proceedings in
courts Of general jurisdiction are suggested, and
several important recommendations relate to ex.
pcliting cases. For instance, it is urged that all
the cases be classified and distributed among the
various trial judges that all preliminary mo-
tons i'm a case be made before the same Judge. 1t
is claimed that by this method judges will be able
to arrange their calendars according to the
urgency of the respective cases. Other recon-
mendaticns are along the line of disregard of
ltechnicalities where the substantial rights of the
parties are not hazarded, and of doing away with
the lengthy and useless forms Of documents that
now cumber the files. 1t is recommended that,
las in many other Jurisdictions, the demurrer be
abolished.
There is now pending in the lower house of
the territorial legislature bill by Representa-,
tive Sheldon which is a move in the right direc-
ton, inasmuch as it would prevent the settpg
aside of court decisions on errors that do not af-
feet the essential rights of the case Hawaii is
up with New York in agitating this subject.
The committee is proceeding on a theory that
is becoming as well recognized in Hawaii as III
New York, namely that the wise plan of proceed
ure is to have the most general and fewest rules
possible and SO framed as to require the fewest
applications to the court. ...# IL:

BANANA CLAIMS AND CLAIMANTS

There does not seem. mitch chance of passage
for the Democratic measure calling for the ap-
preparation of money to pay the so-called "ba-
mana claims, and there is no reason why the
measure should pass when the Republicans have
measurably better
The Democratic plan would probably work
out as a lump appropriation with numberless
chances for graft and waste of public funds.
Since the newspapers of Honolulu, led by the
Star Bulletin, exposed the manner in which Rep,
resentative "Jack" Kalakiela working up
banana claims and pulling down snug fees for
doing it, there is not much confidence in the
Bourbon program for paying these claims so stri-
IDENTIFY and fIamboyantly put before the voters
at the last campaign.
Under the bill proposed by the Republicans,
the governor is to name a commission and the
commission to appoint appraisers to pass upon
the merits of all claims, with the assistance of
the board of health, the board having collected
much valuable information on the number Of
banana-trees DESTROYED during the antimosquto
campaign and the damage claims later filed with
it, Thus competent body will take sworn testi-
meny-at open hearings-and will sift the multi
tudinous claims down to those cases in which
actual loss was suffered
This kind of bill will protect the territorial
treasury from greedy and INSCRIPTIONS fingers
and will do ample Justice to claimants. As be-
tween the Republican and Democratic measures,
there is not even room for doubt The Repub-
Iican bill should and will be made the basis for
action.

A full pint of cough syrup-as much
as you could buy for S2.50-can easily
be made at home You will find moth
ug that takes hold of the ordinary
Ough more quickly, usually conquerins
{ inside of "a hours. Excellent, too, for
spasmodic Group whooping cough, bron-
chial asthma and bronchitis.
Mix one pint of graduated sugar with
z pint of warm water and stir for
minutes Put "a ounces of Pinex go
cents WORTH in a pint bottle, then add
the Sugar Syrup 1t keeps perfectly.
Take a teaspoonful every one, two or
three hours.
This is just laxative enough to help
relieve a cough. Also stimulates the
appetite, which is usually upset by
cough. The taste is pleasant.
The effect of pine and sugar syrup on
the lnfiamed membranes is well known.
PineX is a most valuable concentrated
compound of Norway white pine extract,
rich in guaiacol and other natural heal
ing pine elements. Other preparations
will not work in this combination.
This PlneX and Sugar Syrup remedy
has often been initiated, but the old
successful mixture has never been
rqualed IT is now used in more homes
than any other cough remedy.
A guaranty of absolute satisfaction, or
money promptly refunded, goes with
this preparation. Your druggist has
