iege, which is under the direction of
Miss Margaret E. Clark, is planning
to give two courses in addition to the

tined to give the students brief
training in the methods followed by
teachers of piano ami familiarize
them with the teaching of gound chill
dren, is under the direction of Miss
Brawthorne and is being formed be-
cause so many Of the girls who fin
ish the course at the school are de-
sirous Of taking up the teaching of
small classes. The other course will
consist of classes for kindergarten
children and will be started for the
purpose of giving the youngsters a
training in elementary music. Miss

is possible, with very little additional

county administration, and at the

legislation and expenditures upon
public improvements. There are
many strong arguments in favor of
this course, but to my mind the
strongest Of all is that it would
greatly help to develop and stimulate

of interest which are the only sure
and solid basis OF communal rroaprt

LUMBER PRICES
UNAFFECTED BY
MILLS CLOSING

With reference to the closing of
lumber mills in the northwest, F. J.
Lowrey, president of Levers & Cooke.
Ltd, said this morning. that he did
not think 1t would have any apprecia-
BILE effect on the price of lumber In
Hawaii.
Some Of the mills have been shut
down for a wh:.e back" Mr. Lowrey
stated, and cur latest adyices are
that more are about telosing. The
closing d some mills win have ten
deney to raise prices, but when that
result occurred a number of the closed
mills would reopen All of the mills
will not close in any event and / don't
think prices here will be affected one
way or the other by. the closing of
some.'
The news on which AFR. Lowrey had
been asked his opinion is contained in
the following Tacoma, Wash, despatch
Of September A:
Warning was issued in the form
of a resolution, to the governor at a
meeting of the coast lumbermen here
today that practically all lumber mills
on the coast would be forced to close
by the European war, which 1t was
pointed out had cut OFF practically all.
foreign markets. Communications
were addressed to state, county and
city officials asking them to do all
possible work to provide for the thou
sands of men it was predicted would
soon be out of employment. The
West Coast Lumber Manufacturers
Association was sponsor for the meet
ing
