ANT1-M1L1rARY IDEAS IN SCHOOLS

1t is to be expected that the heads of military
carnations in this country should differ in their
opinions from ardent persons having anti-military
sentiments The former object to the latter's ac-
tons, which they say tend to put soldiers in dis
repute in this country during times of peace, al
though they have not yet shown that such actions
really affect the soldiers.
a major in the New York National Guards for
instance does not like the popular song, Il Didn t
Raise My Boy to Be Soldier nor does he ad
mire the familiar painting in which little girl is
represented piteously asking her soldier-father
if he is going away to kill some other little girl
papa. He has found that both the song and the
painting are being used in Brooklyn public school
building for the purpose of preiudicng pupils
against militarsm and has reported the matter to
the Board of Education, protesting against the
anti-miltary propaganda in the public schools in
general.
The principal of the school in which the obiec-
tionabe song and painting are used for the forming
of pupils opinions matters military admits that
he has made the song part of the regular singing
exercises. tie frankly asserts that his object is to
teach the children the honors of war His activi-
ties in this direction happen to have come to pubic
notice, but he is only one teacher among many who
are these days mparting to their pupils anti-mili-
tary ideas, in hope that they may do their part in
preventing future wars.
The National Guardsman contends that the agi
tation against militarism will discourage young men
from enlisting in the State militia which, accord
ing to the State constitution shall consist at all
times of ten thousand armed, equipped and trained
soldiers. He is surely giving the teachings of the
anti military faction credit for plenty of effective
ness In case the Influence of the lovers of peace
is great he considers it to be- he has cause to
worry. 1t is almost too much to hope however,
that that Influence could be so powerful

CURRENT COMMENT.


Somebody has discovered that the
number of automobile owners in our
country is nearly equal to the number
of baseball patrons. In this connec-
tion 1t is suggested that, while the fans
haven't the same cause for pride. they
don't worry any over tire trouble. On
the other hand, the car owners are not
annoyed by outlaw leagues and um-
pires.-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

To avoid the of panic the officers and crew
OF the sinking Lusana appear to have gone the other
extreme and told the passengers there no danger with
the result that of the passengers failed to realize
peril in time and perished The difficulty in such ter
oie circumstances seems to be in the necessity getting
the people frightened enough seek escape without
becoming too much frightened seek escape in too pre
cipitate way.

Honolulu star-bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1912-2010, 1915-08-10
GEORGE HAMLIN FITCH.

George Hamlin Fitch, veteran newspaperman
of San Francisco, whose death is reported in
the overnight press dispatches, will be well
and favorably remembered in Honolulu. He
visited this city and made a tour of the Terri
tory about eighteen months ago. While here
Mr. Fitch contributed number of interesting
travel articles to the Star-Bulletin and upon
his return to the mainland he arranged for an
additional chapter to his two travel books.
1.-THE Critic in the Orient and 1.-THE Critic in
the Occident' dealing exclusively with Hawaii
He also gave to Hawaii considerable publicity
on the mainland and was one of the very good
friends of this territory on the coast.
The death of Mr.. Fitch will prove severe
shock to his numerous friends throughout the
entire United States and even in many remote
corners of the world. With his passing jour
nalism has lost one of its cornerstones. For
the past thirtv-five years he had been asso-
ciated with the San Francisco Chronicle, hav-
ing reached the coast few years after his
graduation from Cornell and following a short
journalistic apprenticeship in eastern New
York state H.. 81:
During his long and faithful service on the
San Francisco newspaper he occupied the posi-
ton of news editor and literary reviewer, his
reviews of current literature being considered
the equal of any of his contemporaries. As a
matter of fact Mr.. Fitch was probably the dean
of literary critics in the United States at the
time of his retirement from active journalism
few months ago. This retirement came only
after his health had become impaired through
tire many strenuous years in harness and it is
undoubtedly true that the vigor which he threw
into all of his undertakings had much to do
with his untimely death.
Aside from his active newspaper work Mr..
Fitch found time to add several standard works
to the literature of America. He also enjoyed
the honor of being one of the several editors
of the Call Examiner Chronicle published in
Oakland the morning following the earthquake
and fire in San Francisco.
