Young School Making Rapid
Strides-Athletic Field is
Among Generous Gifts

The Mid-Paclfic Institute has opened
this week-the last of the city schools
to begin the seasons work. The insti-
tute has practically abolished Christ
mas and Easter recesses and increased
the length Of the summer vacation.
This gives larger opportunity to self
supporting students to earn money and
keeps the months Of study continuous
and earnest.
In Mills school the boys, department
has a record attendance. Last year
the board Of managers decided to abol-
fish day attendance. There were then
nearly 40 day students. Some friends
Of Mills thought the school would srf-
fer. AL, however, are now satisfied
that the principals recommendation
was wise, and so popular has the
school become that the full capacity
of the school is tested and a, large
waiting list established.
There VIII be 25 more boarders this
year than there were boarders and day
students combined last year. Even
one Of the farm cottages has been
filed with boys Further, there are
several students of the Bible school
under Rev. ]. p Erdman who are al
lowed to live in the city. In this Bible
school a young lady has for the first
time been admitted, Miss Wal Hong
Loo, who is fitting herself for mis-
sionary career.
During the summer the building was
extensively repaired and improved and
the equipment Of beds, dishes and. 9TH
er furnishings increased by so per
cent The building never appeared so
complete and attractive.

MUCH SATISFACTION Ex-
PRESSED THAT CLEM0NS
is TO REMAIN ON BENCH

Wide and hearty satisfaction was
expressed by Honolulu attorneys this
morning when the Star Bulletin -receiv
ed cabIegram from its Washington
correspondent that Federal Judge G.
f. Clemons is to be retained after an
Investigation of his case by the new
Eattorney-general, Thomas w. Gregory
|of Texas.
Gregory has shown that there Is no
politics in his office,
"Clemons is vindicated."

.eral bench lent additional interest to
the developments tha: came with ra.
pid ity soon after Mr.. MeCarn was
called to Washington to discuss his
own case with the department Of jus.
tice.
A day or two before Mr. McCarn
reached Washington q caSfegram came
from the attorney-general to Judge
Clemons requesting the judges resig-
nation. While the cablegram said in
effect that this action was mot on
account of charges which must be ans
wered," it was coucned in peremptory
Language. Judge Clemons and his
friends felt that as no charges were
made, his resignaticn was demanded
for political reasons and that he was
to be replaced by a Democrat.
It was felt also thar the district at

Judge Clemens.
On the day after Clemons received
the cablegram the Star-Bulletin am

ordered the new attorney-general to

was on September Is.
When Mr.. McCarn reached Honolu-

the Star-Bulletfn as to the status of
