COMPULSORY EDUCATION.

SONf lcIoCh IoAN
That facts are stronger than theory
and that truth outWeighs false charg-
es are we'll illustrated in a letter of
Supt. Frank lEvanS. or the Spartan
burg city schools. to the Spartanburg
Herald, Healing with Gov. Blcasc's
speech in opposition to medical nspec-
ton of school children. His letter is
found elsewhere in this issue. Mr.
Evans takes the example Of the in
spection OF school children as car
ried out in Spartanburg to show that
the children have been greatly bcne-
flied by it and that they have not been
subjected to any measures which
would jar the most delicate senSibli-
ties. In fact. Mr.. Evans states that
the only parental objection met with
came from Christian Scientists, who
do not believe in the effectiveness Of
medicine at all. He goes further and
submits an inapcctiu blank in use to
show that medical inspection Of school
children does not imply any encroach-
IHcntS upon pafcnLhl auJnOrlLy.
Why tho poorer people Of this state
deceive themselves about this meas
ure or allow themselves to be decciv-
ed we arc at D. loss to understand in
the face OF such arguments and facts
as havo bocn put up to support its
need.
Medical inspection Of school chill
dren is nothing more nor less than
the states providing that supervision
by trained physicians for all children
which only the children Of rich par
ents can now afford and providing for
the protection Of the healthy child
from the diseased.
We often hear about the states
right in this matter and the parents
tight, without a consideration Of the
child's rights when hfs are most to be
considered. He has a right to expect
the state to prepare him to assume
tho obligations Of. citizenship and
thoughtiess or needless parents should
not be allowed to deprive him of this
right. 1t is the child which has the
right whiIe the state has the obliga-
ton

company with her brother, and who
registered under the name of Mrs.
Bernon Ogden GLIB, has been granted
an interlocutory decree of divorce
say newspapers reports from San

which Mrs. Gibbs affixed before her
name was that of her first husband,
who died lately on the mainland, and
who made her heir to property worth
nearly million dollars.
1t was intimated that Mrs. Gibb
left San Francisco for Honolulu in a
more or less hurried manner, and
while the coast newspapers were tell
ing of the surprise which James Win
ton Glib displayed at the departure
of his wife, Mrs. Glib told her newly,
found friends in Honolulu that she
had chosen her first husbands name
in order to escape notoriety," saying
that she was so well known socially
on the ocast that her friends would
be anxious as to her whereabouts. At
that time she denied the rumor of
trouble between herself and Mr. Glib.

TO REBUILD ON
ORIGINAL SITE
After Almost Years Delay, the
Wheels Again Are About
.... To Turn

The Pearl Harbor drydock is to be
rebuilt on the original site, and ae
cording to the original specifications,
Word to this effect has been received
by the Hawaiian Dredging Company
in a brief cable from officers of the
concern now in Washington. Although
nothing Is said Of financial adjustment,
it may be inferred that the loss will
fall more heavily on the contractors
than would have been the case had
the specifications been changed, or
the site found impracticable for a
craving dock.
Work of dredging section 5 of the
dock will be started as soon as pos
slble, probably next Monday, and after
almost years delay the wheels will
again turn ON the big project. The
word to resume work was followed
within a few hours by another set
back and disaster for the Hawaiian
Dredging company, which has caused
at least weeks delay, in getting
down to work again. The dredger
George p Denison, which was ordered
from Honolulu to Pearl Harbor yes
terday afternoon soon after receipt of
the Washington cable, turned turtle
off the entrance of Pearl Harbor chan
mel. and it will be necessary to put
another dredger, the B. F. Dillingham;,
into commission, before starting dry
dock construction.
The Pearl Harbor drydock blew
up on February II last, when the
walls and bottom failed to resist the
pressure of water from without. when

entire structure of false crib work
rose in the air like an enormous five

causes of the disaster, and THE most
practicable and economical scheme for
rebuilding. After , the disaster the

LOCAL ACTIVITY
New York Reports of Decided
lump Has a WsoIesome
Effect Here IL

Another leap In sugar quotations as
shown In messages from New York
received late yesterday afternoon gave
new Figor this morning TO the stock
trading. The last quotation shows
that sugar is selling on the basis of
2.4S, with a firm market.
Messages received from New York
Tuesday gave the price of sugar for
that day as 3.31, This difference be-
tween this quotation and today's has
puzzled sugar men here to a great ex.
tent, and several explanations are of.
fered TO account for II.
According to the theory held by
some, the sharp change in price can
be taken 10 mean that the weak hold!
ers OF Porto Ricos have sold out. and
the market Is now in the hands of
strong holders who are insisting on
better prices. Another theory to throw
light on The 331 is that the Porto
Rcans are now giving away practi-
cally all the projections they now en-
JOY over CHbans under the present
duty. Alexander & Baldwin has made
rp figures to bear. out this theory.
These figures, which are self-eXplan-
at8ry, are printed below.
Yesterdays quotation of 3.4S is the
figure which ruled for January of last
year. Only short time ago sugar
was offered around $50, and the fact
that the market is gaining at a time
when the prodnet is rapidly entering
the market Is taken as a very good
sign that it will continue to increase.
At 3,4S the sugar will bring 500 go

A decision by the supreme court OF

The decision in brief is that the
provisions of the immigration act of
