HARD TO GRAFT TREE OF KNOWLEDGE

tFrom the San Francisco Daily News
The public schools of Hawaii have developed
further than the rural schools of many of our
states.
The reason is clear. Hawaii never had any
schools, and when a system of public education
was finally taken up, the educators had no ira
ditions to hamper them They could use brand
new twentieth century stock.
The fight for better ways of teaching children
in this country has not been for the recognition
of progressive educational ideas. The main
fight has been to destroy old and WORKOUT
methods in order to make room for the new.
Many educators approve the Gary plan, but
do not know how to graft it on the tree of
knowledge. They trim and prune the precious
old tree and brace it up, but it continues to
bear the same old fruit.
Wouldn't it be better to begin, like Burbank
with Seeding plants, and by careful selection
develop a new fruit suited to modern condi-
tons? T.. s.:.
This suggestion has one fault-it is founded
on wrong premises. Hawaii had schools so far
back that in the old days Californians sent
their children here for an education.

A REPLY ON CHRISTIAN SCIENCE.

Editor Honolulu Star-BulIetin,
Sir:-I note with interest reply to
our recent letter respecting Christian
Science. The subject is most inter
esting one to me, for If Christian Sci
ence is correct the whole fabric of
Christianity as outlined in the Scrip
lures is false, and If this is the case
1t would be pity for so large pro-
portion of the world to be misled
The very absurdity of the state
ments of Christian Science has adver-
tised them. People have said, What
does 1t mean, there is no death no
sickness, no pain, no sorrow Of any
kind? Absurd! Later they have said.
We will see how Christian Science ex-
plains death, sickness, pain, etc. This
curiosity led some into the metaphy
steal labyrinth which Mrs. Eddy has
skilfully constructed. Having no in
telligent knowledge of the Bible they
fell an easy prey to such errors: If

FoRD's PEACE PLAN PREMATURE.

Henry Ford S peace plan, though presumably
inspired by high, if mistaken, ideals, is prema-
ture, illogical and almost certainly destined to
failure 1t is hard to see how a shipload of
pasifsts sailing into the war-zone could be re-
ceived with other than rebuffs, polite, perhaps,
but rebuffs just the same.
The Allies are not ready to talk peace and
the Teutons would not agree to the only terms
the Allies would even entertain. The Entente
Powers, though their losses have been tremen-
dous, have tremendous resources. These re-
sources are being organized now as never be
fore. Great Britain, France and Russia simply
cannot afford to quit at this stage of the con-
fict Though in each of the countries there
has been political friction, nothing approach
ing real dissension among the members of the
Entente group has come to the surface
To the Teutons peace talk might have
pleasant ring because their land campaign has
won them much territory which might be re-
tanned, or put up against huge indemnities.
But the Allies will not talk peace this year, nor
perhaps next year unless the situation is
greatly changed.
Exhaustion is far distant. Encouragement
is warded off by the new factors the Allies can
constantly bring into play. And Henry Ford
has as much chance of changing this situation
as pebble flung into river of changing that
rivers course.
The president cherishes no illusions. He
does not intend to- intrude his good offices
when neither side even pauses for breath The
prospect is very good for F6rd's ''peace ship"
to stay tied up at her dock. lie hasn't any
thing approaching a load as yet.

"A PERFUNcToRY GRAND JURY REPORT.

Rumors of an insistent element on the terri
torial grand jury determined virtually to
exonerate the county Jail administration are
borne out by the jury's report, presented to-
day. 1t carries internal evidence of much di-
vision of opinion. ...."= T..
The report finds careless and laxness'' in
the Jail but has little blame for the officials
who permitted and encouraged it. Reference
to them is dismissed with the comment that
''they perform their various duties as, from
their standpoint, they see them, but that stand
point is not the best The jury is also of the
opinion that the sheriff should devote more at
tention to the conduct of the Jail.
In its polite reference to conditions and to
the officials, in its rather perfunctory tone, and
in its almost timid recommendations the report
is distinct disappointment to those who be-
lieve that only a vigorous ventilation OF Jail
affairs will end the incompetence displayed by
the officials That incompetence is acknowl-
edged in the grand iury's report, but ac
knowledged with a careful Difference which
will at once be seized upon by the officials
themselves as proof that they have been ex
onerated.
In fact, the report is so worded that thesmen
responsible for Jail affairs will claim to have
been absolved of blame, which is evidently not
at all the intention of the jurors.
The report appears to be the result OF con-
tradictory evidence before the jurors which
was not sifted closely enough and not probed
deeply enough to get at clean-cut verdict.
But it is quite evident that even with all the
Jail officials virtuously declaring that the ad-
ministration is good and denying the specific
claims of their accusers, the weight of proof
is against them, and the jury has recognized
it, even though with remarkable caution.
1t must be remembered that the witnesses
before the jury were in several cases men
whose uncorroborated statements the jury
hesitated about accepting. That these wit
nesses in the main told the truth seems to be
confirmed by the jury's report.
The disappointing thing is that the report
is so perfunctorily written that no Jail clean up
may be forced. Either the supervisors or the
civil service commission might have carried
further an investigation brought to vigorous
stage by the jury That either body will do sol
now is doubtful. We have no hesitation in
saying that the community is entitled to all
more detailed and specific report than that
rendered today. After the weeks of investiga-
ton which have been in progress this brief
and polite document is an anti-climax.

The United States cannot tolerate, on the
one hand British agents who recruit soldiers
for the colors; nor, on the other hand, German
agents who plot to burn and blow up plants,
wharves and ships. The activities of such
agents betray strange lack of foresight on
the part of their masters. What they can do
to enlist soldiers for themselves or block sup
plies for their enemy is of infinitely less inn
portance than the hostility and disgust they
create in the minds of good Americans.

BOOZE FIGHTING"

Gan interesting suggestion taken from THE Illinois
Steel Company Safety Bulletin" July. 1915.
For the married man who cannot get along
without drinks, the following is suggested as
means of freedom from bondage to the
saloons: /
Start saloon in your own house. Be the
only customer you'll have no license to pay.
Go to your wife and give her two dollars to buy
a gallon of whiskey, and remember there are
sixty-nine drinks in gallon. Buy your drinks
from no one but your wife, and by the time the
first gallon is done, she will have eight dollars
to put into the bank and two dollars to start
business again Should you live ten years and
continue to buy booze from her, and then die
with snakes in your boots, she will have
enough money to bury you decently, educate
your children, buy a house and lot, marry a
decent man and quit thinking abeut you en-.
tirely.

list. Reason for letting out Dr.
Claighead as ascribed by majority
of the board was that there had been
friction among the directing teach
ers which the board believed could
only be eliminated by retiring the
president. The resignation Of J. M.
Hamilton from the presidency Of the
State college was also received.
Mary Stewart, dean of women, and

to be about the biggest thing ever
pulled off in the Wild West line in
Montana. The entries for the big
contest have been coming in rapid
ly and it will be necessary to use
every available minute in order to
handle all of the contestants. Mon
received, but there will be many
states in the northwest.
In addition to the wild west fea-
ture there will be many events of
interest and ample entertainment
will be afforded from early morning
until late at night. The University
of Wisconsin Military band of so
pieces, the Anaconda Copper Mines
band from Butte and several other
musical organizations have been Sc
cured for the celebration. OF big
interest will be the historical pag-
cant concentrating Missoula's 5Oth
anniversary. This parade is being
made a feature in every sense of the
word.
The state rifle tournament is to
be held in MissOula on these four
days and fifteen teams have already
signified their intention of being
in competition. Special aerial stunts
are to be given by one of the best
ayiators on the Pacific coast. Indian
dances will be held every morning.
Some of the best costumed Indians
in the world will be here for these
dances.

ment is to be found within it's gates.

Now that the school year is draw

plans for repairing, remodellng and

superintendent Fl. A. Davee is liter
ally besieged with letters asking for

In many states the department OF
education has issued bulletins, Civ
ing suggestions on this subject, but
since tne meagre appropriations
made by the last legislature for the
benefit of all the boys and girls Of

State Department of Education to
do this, Supt. Davee is calling atten-
