PUBLIC OPINION AND OFFICIAL WASTE

This comment comes from the report of the
commission that Investigated Hawaii county i
financial tangle. 1t refers particularly to the
inexcusable waste of public funds and the pos
sible restriction on this waste:
Finally would say that the most potent re-
striction OF all Is enlightened and informed pub
lie opinion. The basis OF this is good methods Of
reporting and full publicity al the right time. Re-
etrictiye measures only fulfill their purpose ade-
uuately in the presence of a watchful and alert
citizenshp equipped with knowledge of essential
details and. therefore, in position to eriticse per-
formance and demand results inteligently.
The observation is pertinent to the situation
on Oahu in view of the fact that the present
board of supervisors has spent hundreds Of
thousands Of dollars in the last two years on
aIleged street and road improvements.

1t looks like public sentiment
among the Republicans, indie
pendents and all other temper
ance people and law enforcement
wishers is that Gov. Hooper be
kept as the executive head for
two more years. Tt is admitted
on all sides that he is honest,
honorable and able. No one
doubts his determination and
ability to enforce the prohibition
laws in full. Some other laws
may be demanded, but he is do
ing good job under the present
laws. Heavens and earth will
be attempted shaken by the
liquor interests to elect a legis-
lature to repeal the temperance
laws. A complete victory by the
temperance people next Novem-
Der will forever settle the ques-
ton in Tennessee.

Gently, in the court of Squire C. E.

that his department has been some

violated this law for the protection

not been generally understood, but
that he will now give instructions
for the rigid enforcement of the law,
He also says that he is not only de-
sirous of enforcing the laws for the
protection of game and fish, but, from
the reports that have come to him
from farmers. and the government
reports, he believes that fur-bearing
animals are a great asset to farmers
in destroying pests, such as field

High Schools
By Harry Clark, University of
Tennessee

| ooohVy Ids d ulRL
school it is losing money There is
money set aside for each county in
the State Treasury at Nashville; and
if the county creates high school,
the state gives at least one-third as
much as the county. If the county
fails to create high school, that
fund goes to other counties.
| High schools have had a wonder
full growth in Tennessee. The num-
Der of pupils has nearly doubled since
1911. There was not a county high
school in the state in 1900, but now
one-half of West Tennessee, one-half
OF Middle Tennessee, and six-seventts
of East Tennessee counties have coun-
ty high schools. The movement is
growing so rapidly that you cannot
afford to ignore it any longer.
Here are some reasons for their
popularity:
Q) High schools improve the low
er schools: first, because every coun-
ty with high schools has better
country teachers, better educated
than they could be before the high
school started; second, all over this
state the attendance and interest in
the lower schools improves when high
schools start, because pupils work
harder to pass their examinations and
get into the high school. Both of
these facts are testified by numbers
of letters which received.
~ High schools, being free to all
the county, give rich and poor an
equal chance at an education. The
poor widows son may be capable of
developing his country if he can only
get chance for an education.
10 A county must have high
schools or lose population. While it
is true that some few counties with
out high schools have gained popula-
ton in the last decade, it is a fact
that most Of the counties with poor
schools have lost population because
families move to other counties with
better schools to educate their chill
dren. Williamson had lost 22l6
people in the last decade; but since
it has created six high schools in
easy riding distance of every ambi-
tious student, the county is regaining
its population, by immigration. We
need immigrants in Tennessee, but we
have found that the best immigrants
select the counties with free county
high schools.
"a High schools give more practi-
cal education: Chemistry, Physics,
Biology, Agriculture, Cooking, Sew
ing.
% Our educational ladder of free
schools in Tennessee consists of ele-
mentary school, high school, normal,
and state university at Knoxville If
your county has no high school, you
have one step in the ladder missing,
and your ambitious students cannot
climb.
(6) If Tennessee is backward in
high schools, our boys will not be
able to meet the competition of the
better trained boys of other states.
Of the AS states, we are the sixth
from the bottom in the number of
high schools.
CD High schools complete your
,ountY's system of schools. Unless
you have high school, your county
is body without head.
