Mr.. Lydgate asked if resolutions
again endorsing the high school
were desired.
Mr.. Brandt replied that both he ,
as commissioner, and Mr.. Gibson,
t h e Territorial superintendent,
wanted to obtain a line OIL the
wishes of the people to be affect
ed. There was not only the ques-
ton of the school itself, but also
the matter of the character of the
school upon which he would like
an opinion. Personally, he dislik-
ed the term and idea OF a select"
school, and yet at the same time
he felt that the people who paid
the taxes of the island should be
given fair proportion of school
advantages. Owing to the unusual
condition of things in the country
districts (aud particularly on Kau-
aD, the people who paid the least
in taxes were receiving the bene-
fits from the school funds, while
the real taxpayers were being de-
MED any benefits whatever. He felt
that matters should be so adjusted
that Justice to all would be done.
The speaker suggested that a Lam
guage qualification should be an
important factor in determining
the character of the proposed high
school
w. H. Rice, Jr,, asked that the
law providing for a high school be
read.
Mr.. Broadbent, who had already
gained the floor, dcclated that the
public of Kauai should not hesi-
/ tate a minute in giving the COM
missioner all the endorsement de-
sired. Sentiment was practically
unanimous on a high school, and
that without delay.
At the request of the chair the
secretary thereupon read the law
as follows:

GENERAL MASS MEETING
ENDORSES HIGH SCHOOL

Pursuant to the call of Comm is
sioner of Education 7. Brandt
made through the columns of THE
GARDEN ISLAND a week ago, quite
a representative audience Of Kauai
people gathered in the library of
the Lihue Union church Thursday
evening to discuss the subject of
the proposed high school. Com
missioner Brandt officiated as chair
man of the meeting and L. d.
Timmons as ecretary.
In stating the objects of the
meeting Mr.. Brandt called atten-
ton to the fact that meetings had
been held in the past on the same
subject, 1t which differences of
opinion had been expressed. Since
then, however, public sentiment
had been crystallized, and he was
hopeful that he might, at this
time, receive a unanimous endorse
ment of the high school idea. He,
personally, felt that there was no
longer any question of the need of
a high school; and, in his opinion
the pupils for such should De
drawn, as far as possible, from
what might be designated as En-
glish-speaking homes.
Mr.. Lvdgate inquired just what
the commissioner wanted the pub.
lie to do. What is required OF
us?" he asked.
Mr.. Brandt replied that the De-
partment of Education was in favor
of establishing the high school. AT
the same time, owing to the pro,
bable stringency OF funds, on ac,
count of a reduction in receipts
from taxation sources, there would
be a disposition in future to eCono'
mize at every hand; and if the
Kauai public were not over .entbu
siastic on the high school matter
there would be an inducement tC
side-track the item until bette
conditions existed.

only by separating pupils from
| their work, now satisfactorily pro-
vided for, can any adequate show
ing be made for high school, and
then it would be only a compro-
mise.
AS the expense of arranging
the present courthouse to meet the
requirements Of a high school
would be insignificant, it occurs to
me the sensible course would be to
put i'll the partition or two that
are necessary and proceed to try
the experiment of a high school
under limited tenancy of the
courthouse and grounds.
Should the location and ex-
pertinent prove desirable and sue
cessful, transfer of the property
can be made to the county.
If unsuccessful the Territory
will not have alienated unwisely
its property.
II SCGlllS lllil lllC SNllOOl dSCOlll"
odations At Lihue are deemed
insufficient and the grounds too
limited and the buildings are de-
teriorating.
1t occurs to me that the whole
school Question at Lihue will, at
some time not i'll the long future,
have to be readjusted both as to
location, grounds, buildings and
grading of schools.
1t would be wise to act delibet-
ately, and when the various phases
of the problem are known.
/ presume that the officials,
people and press Of Kauai, will
duly consider the above sugges-
tions.
f- Very respectfully,
(s) L. +. PINKHAM,
Governor of Hawaii. -

GOOD START FOR
HALL At KALAHEO

The concert and dance given in
Eleele' hall Saturday evening for
the benefit of the new public hall
which it is purposed to establish
at Kalaheo was a great success in
every way. The sum of S68.OO
was taken in at the door, with the
large number of tickets sold out
side still to be heard from. The
hall was crowded, and the picture
program was excellent.
After the pictures the hall was
cleared and dancing begun. The
party was an unusually large one.
Outside, the Kalaheo brass band
played between dance numbers,
while in the hall a stringed orches-
ira supplied accompaniments to
the terpsichorean stunts.
The people of Kalaheo Ct h c
Homesteads) have been trying for
long time to provide themselves
with a public hall; where meet
ings, dances, concerts, motion pic
ture shows and entertainments OF
all kinds NAV be held. This enter
tainment Saturday night was one
of the several planned as a means
of raising money for the purpose

pointed on entertainment to the

Lihue at 1:3O p. M, Thursday to
over the bills of expense as sub.
mitted and act in regard to the
same. Chairman Nahum had al

finds that the total sum to be paid
will amount to more than $4,000.
The sum CT $4,000 has been re-
ceived from h Honolulu A d
Club as the net proceeds from ex-
cursion tickets, and that amount
will beapplied against the accounts.
The committee will recommend to
the Chamber of Commerce on an
hour later as to how the remain
der (about S25O.OO) may be pro.
vided for.

GOVERNOR P|NKHAM'S OWN
VIEW ABOUT HIGH SCHOOL

At last the Governor has spoken
with definiteness regarding h e
proposed Kauai High school, al
Lihue. In a letter dated April II
addressed to Superintendent I. II
Gibson, he outlined his opinions
Mr.. Gibson sent III letter to
Chairman n. D. Wishard, of the
Kauai Board of Supervisors, who
received it this morning. In his
own letter Mr.. Gibson says:
I am enclosing a copy of a
letter received from the Governor
relating to t h e proposed Kauai
nigh S c h o and also to the
question of additional grounds for
the primary and grammar grades.
AS it seems a difficult matter to
enlarge h present school lot
satisfactorily, would it not be we'll
to plan for an exchange of land
for new school site?
In regard to the high school;
l believe a school f or English
speaking children wi h a high
school department, such as the old
Fort Street school, will meet the
requirements best.
Yours very truly,
IT. H. Gibson
Superintendent, P II bile In
struction."
MR. PiNKHAM' LETTER
The Governor letter to Mr..
Gibson is as follows:
Will you convey to the proper
authorities of the Island of Kauai
the following views as to the high
school situation, and general school
situation at Lihue, to wit;
1t appears there is a division
of opinion as to the necessity of a
high school and as to the patronage
such an institution is likely to re-
ceive, and further opinion that

RIGHT OF WAY At
WAIPOULI TRACT

The report fr ON Honolulu,
(Which was guardedlv repeated in
these columns last week. to the
effect that the Makee Sugar Com
palv had been granted a railroad
righto ofway over the lands of Ka-
paa and Waipouli", was followed
by all inquiry by this paper as to
just what the report meant. The
government official having h c
matter i'll hand has replied as fol-
lows:
This is not for railroad pur-
poses. 1t is the wagon road which
leads to the Waipouli Tract and
which crosses the Makee Sugar
Company's lands, the Territory
giving them a right of-way for
bitches in the Waipouli Tract" "
The statement is still a little
vague. 1t is assumed that what is
meant is that the Government ac-
quires the right of way of the Wal
pouli road through the company's S
lands, and gives in exchange right
of way for bitches in the Waipouli
tract.

Mr.. BRANDT SENDS
IN RESIGNATION

T. Brandt, Commissioner o f
Education for the island of Kauai,
last week submitted his resignation
to Governor Pinkham To Super
intendent Gibson he also wrote,
submitting his reasons for wishing
to retire, they being entirely per-
sonal.
Whether or not the resignation
will be accepted forthwith is prob
lematical, some of Mr.. Brandt's
friends being of the opinion that it
may not be acted upon at all until
after the new superintendent comes
into office.
In submitting his letter of re-
siguation, Mr. Brandt recommend
ed Rev J. NJ Lydgate for appoint
ment as his successor.
The office of Commissioner is an
honorary one, carrying no salary,
The commissioners receive only
their travelling expenses to and
from Honolulu, and the glory"
of ofice-holding is presumed to
offset an immense lot of work and
worry involved in the duties of
the office,

CANNERY SITE IS
STILL IN DOUBT

Mr.. Horner, of the Kapaa can.
merry enterprise, was a weekend
visitor to the island, being accom-
panied by John Fleming, of the
James F. Morgan Co., who is also
interested in the cannery project
They returned to the city by the
steamer sailing Saturday afternoon
At the time of sailing, it was un-
derstood that conferences would
be held with the Governor in Ho-
nolulu yesterday or to-day, at
which some definite plan in regard
to the much debated and much
delayed eannery would be agreed
upon.
From the rather hazy explana-
tions made here it appears that
the cannery people have them
selves changed front as to just
what they want and what should
be done. 1t was generally under
stood on Kauai that they were sat
isfed with the site near the beach
Lihue-inakai of the mill; and that
they would proceed with the erec-
ton OF the cannery upon the terms
in regard to site sanctioned by the
Land Board.
1t now appears, however, that
they have e II discussing. a
change of site altogether, the place
selected being about fifteen acres
of land on the trdm-waY, mauka.
between the schoolhouse and the
reservoir.
The whole question seems to
have become quite complicated;
statements in regard to it. even by
men on the inside" appearing to
vary according to individual view
points. It is to be hoped, however.
that the conference with the Gov
ernor will result in the shaping
out Of plans satisfactory to all con-
Cerned.

ASSAULT CASES
IN KOLOA COURT

Two rather unusual cases came
up in Judge Kapahee's court, at
KolOa, yesterday. In the first, two
Filipinos appeared 10 answer to a
charge of assault and battery on
Ben Lee. 1t appears that Lee had
been sent by the owners to eject
the Filipinos from house in which
they had been living. and was
jumped upon by the little brown
men. In court the Filipinos were
fined 81 and 81 so court costs each.
S. K. Kaeo and J. H. Coney for
the prosecution; Mikaele for de-
PENDANTS.
The second case was one in
which Kuwaawaa, Jr., had been
arrested for assault and battery on
his father, Peter Kuwaawaa, man
about 81 years of age. 1t appears
that last Friday old man Kuwaa-
waa looked too long upon the wine
or, at any rate, so long that his
fighting blood was coaxed up, de-
spite his years, and he started in
to give his wife a thrashlng. 1t
was there that young Kuwaawaa
came upon the scene, and took his
mothers part against the O Id
gentleman.
On promise that the Kuwaa-
waa family would drink no more
and would be good church people
in future, the case was dismissed.

THE NAW|L|W|L|
ITEM DEFERRED
Definite News That Harbor F or
Kauai Must Wait Until
Next Year

1t will be remembered that the
Chamber of Commerce, at spe-
cial meeting held at Waimea in
March, adopted resolutions urging
upon Congress the passage of the
item, then before committee, max
ing appropriations for a breakwa-
ter and harbor at Nawiliwili, Kau-
al.
The very next day, and before
the resolutions had been placed
in the mail, advices were received
from Washington that both h e
Nawiiiwili and Kahului harbors
matters had been left out of the
bill by the committee and would
not be taken up again before the
next session OF Congress.
After comforting with the direc-
tors of the Chamber, however, the
secretary forwarded h resolu-
tons. By last Fridays mail the
following acknowledgment w S
received from Mr.. Desha, secretary
to Delegate Kuhio, which Presi-
dent Rohrig, of the Chamber of
Commerce, has given out for pub.
lication, in order that all members
and the public generally may be
informed of the situation, as it
now appears, prior to the meeting
of the Chamber at 2:3O Thursday
afternoon:
Washington, d. c.
March 28, 1914.
Mr.. L, D. Timmons,
Secretary, Kauai Chamber of
Commerce,
Kauai, Ty. of Hawaii.
Dear Sir:
l have your letter of March
18th, with resolutions enclosed. In
reply would state, that same will
be sent to the Vice President for
presentation before the Senate.
As you know, the House refused
to consider Nawiliwili harbor un-
der the plea that they were carry
ing out a plan of economy, and
under this plan would not consider
new contracts, but only those
which were already let, hence,
they allowed an appropriation to
Honolulu, and also to Hilo, as
these were contracts now i'll force.
The Rivers and Harbors Bill
passed the House the other day,
and is now before the Senate for
consideration AS l stated in the
preceding letter, l doubt whether
any action would be taken by Con-
gress this session, and that l was
assured that action will be taken
next session.
Very truly yours,
John r. DESHA,
Secretary to the Delegate.
