EDITOR
SECRETARY THAYER'S WAILUKU
SPEECH.

Secretary of the Territory Thayer does no
criticise bitterly the campaign made by The
sugar producers in Washington last year. Be
cause of a misunderstanding as to what Mr.
Thayer said in his Wailuku speech, the Star
Bulletin prints in another column today the
speech in full In it will be noticed this salient
section:
But let ME not be considered as criticizing ad-
versely those who represented Hawaii in the sugar
fight last year The fact was that all in a
panie-we none of knew exactly what to do and
if the wrong policy adopted, then 1t adopt
ed in good faith and there is need Of saying any
about it But just because pursued what
believe to have been wrong policy year there
is no need Of our continuing it now, and sincerely
believe that If a change Of tactics is followed,
shall have greatly better prospects of success
than by adhering to the plan heretofore made Of
And SO say If we hope to keep any tariff On
sugar ii is time to take account of stock, it is time
to take a look back at what has been accomplished
in the fight against the removal of the sugar taril,

the administration in
81 do not mean to go to Washington suppliants,

err Thus believe we shall get hearing and per-
haps relief"
It seems quite plain that Secretary Thayer
does not impute to those who went to Wash
ington to fight for the prosperity of the terri
tory any illegitimate or unfair efforts-for IL
Legitimacy denotes fraud or attempted fraud,
and unfairness signifies conscious trickery or
dishonesty. The secretary of the territory be-
lieves in the good faith of those who went to
Washington and in this he is with practically
everybody else in Hawaii. Whether or not the
effort to save a reasonable tariff on sugar ac-
complished anything, it was made in good
faith. ..........

LOOK AFTER THE SCHOOL CHILDREN

Overcrowding in Honolulu S schools is q
condition so familiar that somehow it is ac
cepted as something to be endured without any
strong movement for a change and even with
ont much of protest.
Yet it should not be endured
A special report made to the Humane So
ciety yesterday by Miss Lucy Ward, the eff
icient officer, brings the subject sharply up be-
fore the community.
How long is Honolulu willing to tolerate con-
ditions detrimental not only to the education,
but what is even more important, to the very
health of the boys and girls! How long until a
searching investigation is made and response
bility fixed and remedial action taken!
"A few days ago it was reported to the Star
Bulletin that the pupils of an Oahu country
school were forced to sit out under the trees,
some needless delay having held back the com
pletion of a school building. Nor is this an ex-
ceptional case Some city schools have been
pointed to as horrible examples of overcrowd-
ing and lack of facilities for decency as we'll
as for teaching.
In 1911 the Legislature went on record with a
schildren first motto, making the school-fund
first charge on the revenues of the territory.
And that is the proper spirit. 1t should be
observed by seeing that the public school pupils
are properly housed.
A statement from some responsible official
seems to be in order.

Some of you may say-perhaps a

are wrong in that. do not believe
that you have gagged accurately the

Japan's quick assurance to Secretary Bryan
that the Nipponese have no permanent designs
on the Caroline island group is another guar
antee that the Pacific is not to be disturbed by
the Mikado's empire. Neither the United
States nor Great Britain could with serenity
see Japan take the Caroline or Marshall islands
for permanent occupancy. Great Britain would
obiebct on account of their proximity to Aus
tralia. 1t may be taken for granted that before
Japan got into this war, she assured Great
Britain satisfactorily that she would not at
tempt territorial expansion at the expense of
German possessions in the Pacific.

THE WAR AND EDUCATION

American colleges, reopening their peaceful
educational season amid the horrors of a great
war in Europe, may observe how favorably
their condition compares with that of most of
their fellow institutions across the sea and
profit by it. In Berlin, in Dresden in. Eienna,
ID Leipsic, in Paris, in Petrograd, throughout
central Europe generally and to some extent
in the English universities, the machinery of
education has come to complete standstill.
ORGANIZED destruction has taken the place of
peaceful progress. Libraries have given place
to arsenals. Scholars and scientists as well as
yoemen and factory hands are fighting for their
several ends and are being slaughtered by the
thousands in the most incredible butchery in
history But, even if militarism had by this
time been followed by national safety and pros
perity throughout Europe, there would be few
men to teach and few to be taught. Not to
mention the loss in men and the drain on pri-
vate finances, the economic needs of Europe will
for generation to come call upon its young
men for work in rebuilding what has been torn
down Whatever the outcome of the terrific
struggle, the crippling and destruction of each
colntry's resources viii hamper in a score Of
ways the reconstruction of the universities and

It will be generation before the lossesof this

Intangible but greatest loss Of all, cultural
standard won by a half-century's peace, can
even thus be replaced It is with such situa-
ton abroad that American higher education
begins another year. Here andgthere will be a
vacancy in the ranks of teacher and student
due directly or indirectly to the war. But, in
the large, the colleges will renew their routine
of study and sport and social training as if
nothing were happening. They are fortunate,
as are all branches of activity in America. It
may be questioned whether all of us adequately
appreciate it. 1t is an excellent time to meas
ure such wayward tendencies as may have crept
into our educational life in the light of what
has been lost to Europe, and why it has been
lost 1t is an excellent time to correct such
tendencies The reason why thoughtful men
and women in this country should study their.

les across the Atlantic are great and many, and

Beginning tomorrow, there will be marked
change of base in the war situation. A sharp
engagement at Philadelphia will open a new
series of conflicts followed by another hot
battle at Boston. The tide of war will ebb and
flow between these two cities for at least four
days. While the forces will be small, nine men
or so on each side, it is estimated that at each
battle there will be close to 10000 spectators.
