WATER CONTRACT
ISNOf LEGAL,
SAYSW.W.TH THAYER
Caldwell Not Empowered to
Enter Agreement for Harbor
Board, Ayers Opinion

That the superintendent of public
works has no power to bind the city
and county of Honolulu by making a
contract between the water works de-
partment and the Board of Harbor
Commissioners for an independent
water supply for shipping, is the
status of an opinion handed down by
Attorney-general Wade Warren Thay-
er to the harbor board and presented
at the meeting of the members of
that body this morning. The opinion
was offered by the attorney-genera
in reply to a letter from the special
committee of the board on an indie
pendent water supply, consisting of F.
B. McStocker, chairman; James Wake
field and J. w. Caldwell, asking the
opinion of the department. regarding
the legality Of the methods advocated
in the committees report to the
board.
The committees receipt of the at
torney-generals opinion does not mean
that it will cease in its efforts to Sc.
cure this independent water supply"
said Committeeman F. B. McStocker
this morning. The committee will
take the matter up with the Board Of
Supervisors during the period when
that body is considering the water
rates. The supervisors have appointed
a committee to investigate the matter,
and the harbOr board also will appoint
a committee sometime prior to the
meeting"
The opinion of the encouragement
calls the attention Of the board to an
error on the latter's part in the as
sumption that the title to the wharves
is vested in the board. The opinion
says that the title of the wharves is
vested in the United States govern
ment in trust, however, for use, pos.
session and benefit of the territory of
Hawaii. which, in turn, has delegated
the Board of HarbOr Commissioners
the care and control thereof

subjects, not the least of which was
what he considers an undue margin
OF profit charged by some local busi-
neSseS.
Mentioning no names, yet with a
reference or two that most of the Ho-
nolulans understood, the admiral, In a
brief introductionSto his prepared ad-
dress, said that Honolulu should see
to it that the government trade, spe-
cifying the army and navy purchases,
should not be forced to seek San
Francisco but should be able to do
business here.

freight rate from San Francisco" He
said that on account of meeting GER

mean more than a reasonable profit

LOCAL SCHOOLS
mel ting POT, IS
VISITOR idea
w. G. Hartranft, Former Edu-
Gator of Seattle, Addresses
Honolulu Teachers

Hawaiian schools as a melting pot
where the children of the world are
put, where they are assimilated, where
they are turned out young Americans,
was touched on yesterday afternoon
in an address to the teachers of the
public schools by w G. Hartranft. for
merly the-~Superintendent of public
instruction of Seattle, now a well
known educational lecturer on the
coast and the representative of a
large publishing firm.
"The Spirit of Teaching" was the
subject of his talk. He began with a
tribute to the. schools Of the territory,
which he has been visiting for the last
fortnight. He compared them to a
melting pot, where children of many
nationalities are put, at last to emerge
as young Americans. The problems of
teaching, peculiar to the work here,
and general, he pointed out; and he
emphasized the power and duty of a
teacher.
And the teachers. he said, should
mix, using slang but expressive
word. The man should be a man
dHICuS IlSu, lRS "OIudu d WOMAN
among women. They should be active
and alert for the interests of the COM
munity, be a part of.it, in feeling as
well as in presence.
Mr.. HaTtTanft brought Ia the name
of Martin Luther with his declaration
that he would rather be a former than
reformer; the speaker said the same
spirit should be in the hearts Of the
teachers-the desire to form the char
acter of their pupils along lines lead
ing to good citizenship. For there
are, he said, three things pupil de
mands:
Something to love,
Something to do.
Something to hope for"
And the teacher who allows a pupil
to pass from his or her room. with TIC
demands unmet, has failed in one CT
the essential obligations of the WORK
has taught without the spirit OF teach,
ing, he said.
The address was heartily applauded
Mr.. and Mis-. Hartranft will leave by
the Matsonia tomorrow, returning ia
San Francisco.
