Suggestions to School Offic.

Plan to remodel and improve
your school building. Build the

vide IA heating and ventilating

York and Spring Lake town
ships take the lead in installing
the modern heating and ventil-
ating system in their schools.
Avoid cross lights, purchase
new seats and desks wherever
they are needed. Replace the
old, worn out dictionary with a
new one. You can secure the
Wvbster's international Dictiou
airy for ten dollars and eighty
cents, $50 so. Provide good,
slate black boards. If you have
not a book case, you can get one
for seven dollars a d fifty
cents and about two dollars
freight. If you are short or
maps, you car get a set of eight
m asp in an oak case for
nine dollars and thirty cents.
Provide a flag and pole for your
school. Fast %colore, good wool

three by five feet, will cost you

Agricultural charts are very

The charts include discussions Of

plants, insects, animals, cereals,
root crops, horticulture, crop ro-
tation and animal husbandry.
CISTERN
Provide a cistern, fill it with
a tank of good we'll water two or
three times during the term of
school. A cistern complete and
large enough for your school will
not cost more than thirty dollars.
Have a bee, have the big
boys and the patrons of the
school help tc excavate for the
cistern. Throw away the COM
mon water pail. Provide a wat
er cooler with a faucet.
BY all means provide good
drinking water for your school.
Children cannot be we'll and
happy in a school where the wat
er supply is short. Your water

is far better than the water sup.

EDITOR

ChillingwOrth, on the police officers statement
recommended to the court the suspension of sen
tence, and upon the recommendation of the
prosecution and the officers statement the court
suspended sentence.
1t should be noted that for case to be drop
ped, as this one virtually is, there must be con
currence Of the court i'm the motion of the prose
cution. .:. .-. .-.... ..
In the opinion of the Star Bulletin, the dis
trict magistrates ruling in this case has opened
the way for all sorts of excuses to be presented
in court for those who violate the recently-pro-
mulgated rule of the police department against
driving toward Waikiki on the left-hand-the
smooth road.
The public generally will take and in fact
has taken the suspension of sentence in the
Quinn case as the making of an exception by
the court District Magistrate Monsarrat to-
day declared emphatieally that auto-owners
must follow out the police order, and he him
self, when driving his own car, follows those
orders, though he says cars should not be re-
quired to traverse this rough and uncomfort-
able stretch of road. He declares that no exep-
tions are to be made Of any who are brought
before him for attraction of this order.
1t is to be hoped that the police department,
the prosecuting attorneys and the district mag
istrate will work in entire cooperation to see
that the traffic rules strictly and impartial
ly enforced Otherwise the orders might as
well not be issued And obviously the police
officers should not arrest driver unless they
have cause sufficient enough and plain enough
to stand by when the case comes into court.

able to crowd themselves into the

eral lines which he followed in all his
addresses, urging that at the coming
elections the city ard county of Hone
lulu should place in charge Of the adj

COHEN SLATED
FOR ATTACK BY
MORN|NGPAPER?
Mayoraity Candidates Plans to
Use BilIboards Believed to
Have Started Fight

joel c. Cohen, candidate for mayor,
is the object Of threatened attack by
the Advertiser, according to Cohen s
friends today, because he contem.
plates using the billboards to get his
candidacy before the people.
Cohen recently purchased through
the Pioneer Advertising agency num-
Der of large-siZed portrait posters to
be placed On local billboards. The
fact that he intended to use the bill
boards became noised around. This
morning the Advertiser said editorial
ly: ...s -:
"A candidate who has no more re-
gard for the beauty Of Honolulu than
to use the billboards in his campaign
is net a fit man to be the mayor Of
Honolulu. 1t may be taken for grant
ed, too, that a candidate who makes
use Of billboards notifies the fourth
district that he has no use for the
four thousand cdd votes of that part
of the city" ==..~..
Cohen's friends and Cohen himself
understand today that ne is the can
didate for mayor referred to- Cohen
declined to talk for publication to-
day or do more than to say merely
that he knows no other candidate for
mayor who had contemplated using
bsllboards. ~ ~.
His campaign. however, is being
made very largely on the declaration
that he is controlled by no person or
corporation and is entirely independ-
ent and indications today were that
he expects to use the billboards for
his portrait posters, one of which
was put up at the Bijou theater last
Surprise was expressed today at the
reported imminent break between Co
hen and the morning paper. as up to
the present time the Advertiser has
appeared ito be distinctly friendly to
Cohen and his campaign and referred
to his candidacy as IN line with a
movement for efficient and business
like government
