OF the 134 persons who took exam
nations at the Normal school last
week for teachers certificates, about
Sc will receive permission to teach,
and IS failed.
This is according to Henry W. Kin
ney, superintendent of public instruc-
ton. who said today that the work of
looking over and grading the examina-
tion papers is about completed.
About 20 of those who passed will
be given primary certificates. while
about Is will receive first permits to
teach. Twelve will receive second
permits, it is estimated. There were
eight persons who took and passed a
part of the grammar grade certificate
examination. -
The summer school examinations
are open to almost anyone with an
ordinary education" Mr. Kinney said.
But they are made sufficiently strict
to prevent the summer school being
used as a short cut to the teaching
profession" ~, -.- -. - =. = T.
The examination papers show that
a large number of those persons who
took the examinations and failed found
the greatest difficulty in the hygiene
test. Others failed in spelling. The
majority of the higher marks were in

PROMOTION BODY
ANDCHAhBERT TO
TAKE Up SCHEME
tcontinued from page one)


tistics. The company is working Oh
these figures, which they needed to
determine whether the volume of
business done here and general ship
ping conditions would justify placing
the Great Northern on this run. / ex-
peet to hear from the company very
soon as to what it's further plans are. .
President Fred l.. Waldron of the
Chamber of Commerce, when asked
today what the chamber is doing in
the Great Northern matter said it is
up to the Promotion Committee to
initiate action on the situation.
THE matter will be brought up in
formally by the chamber at its next
meeting August Is" he said. 1T
would be very good thing if the
Great Northern can be secured for
passenger service between this city
and San Francisco, and ] should
rather think that it would be natural
to encourage the plan"
AS to the question of sharing freight
business now handled by the Matson
Navigation Company, with the Great
Northern, MIR. Waldron was of the
opinion that the big liner should take
care of passenger business and leave
freight to the Matson people.
Personally / would rather have
seen the passenger business taken
care of without the entrance of freight
competition" he remarked. This for
the reason that our freights are well
taken care of at present at reasonable
rates by the Matson people.
The Great Northern will have to
have the. support of at least 1900 tons
and more likely 1000 tons of freight
before her owners will consider hav-
ing her make this city port of call
for passenger business. The Great
Northern has about 2100 tons maxi
mum freight capacity"
Secretary Raymond c. Brown of the
Chamber CT Commerce said this morn
ing the Great Northern proposition
will be taken up in connection with
the meeting to be held August Is for
the purpose of discussing and taking
action of the coastwise shipping law
and the La Toilette Seamen's Bill.
TT will be suggested for considera.
ton at the same time as the other
topics are" he stated. ...--... -

SUNDAY 100000
DAY FOR AUTOS;
MANY ShASHlPS
Thirty Persons in Cars Which.
Were In Collisions, But Only
Three Suffered Injury

Six automobiles and one motorcycle
were partially wrecked in accidents in
various parts OF the city yesterday
Out OF all the danger, however. only
three persons were injured, although
the lives of more than 80 were endan-
gered.
Most spectacular was the piling up
OF four automobiles and the consequent
blockade Of the road for nearly an
hour, at Pukaki hill, on the curve
above the Moanalua polo field, when
an automobile became disabled and
stalled in the middle of the road.
A few minutes later an auto owned
by I'd Lieut.. Percy Deshon came along.
To avoid collision the brakes were
thrown on with such violence that the
auto turned turtle, pinning the Occur
pants under the car. Pvt. Homea of
the 55th Company. Coast Artillery, and
q sergeant Of the same command were
slightly injured.
A third auto, driven by NJ f. Frei-
tas. came dashing around the curve
nearly piling up on the other two. The
brakes held, bringing the car to stop
within 10 feet OF the overturned auto.
James H. Kawaauhau, coming along
in his car q few seconds later, did
not have such good fortune. His car
collided with Freitas' machine.
BY the time the road was clear 40
machines we're lined up waiting to get
by.
On the Waialua side of Kipapa gulch
another auto came to grief last night
1t was driven by J. Kishiwada, and
contained five persons The car skid
ded and went into a ditch. It was
badly smashed. The passengers were
.uninjured.
Seu Fun ran his auto into a tele-
graph pole along Hotel street, near
Maunakea. He was later arrested for
failure to obtain q chauffeur.s license.

MAYORSOF MAINLAND CITIES
WRITE ON COMMISSION Plan

public, ! feel safe In saying that IL Is
growing In favor as our work goes on.
The commission form was, however.
adopted by q very narrow margin,
some few hundred votes. A strong
fight was made against II and II was
attacked from every side, and by some
who did not disclose from whence

the fight; some undoubtedly opposed

lieve II was fought by the profession

they we're well satisfied with things

Public improvements in Portland are
not related to. the question of charter

that feature Is not important, but the.
new charter facilitates improvements

the next ensuing year 1t has been set

is working very well, as view It; and
It is a plan which brings the people
into closer touch with their officials.

construction Of a charter, but gener-
ally speaking 1t is big step in adj

ton, who were selected in the East re-
Gently as the new principals for the

meha girls schools, respectively, are

MANY DONATIONS
Of SMALL SIZE
MOST DESIRED
Gift of Japanese of Fountain for
Honolulu Win Then Mean
More to the City

at is my wish TO get every Japanese
man, woman and child living in Ha-
vail to take an interest IN the big
fountain which We are to present to
Honolulu next November" says Con-
sui II. Arita, who is in charge of the
committees that have been named to
secure subscriptions to the funds ne
cessary for purchase of the gift.
1t was with this idea in mind that
the Japanese consul appointed large
number of prominent men of the is
land to handle the subscription work.
He desires many small donations rath-
er than a few large ones, as he feels
that the gift will thus mean much
more to the giyers and to the city as
well.
AS the complete plans have not yet
been made Consul Arita does not know
what the exact size of the fountain
will be, but its general dimensions are
to be modelled after the fashion of
the huge crane which stands in the
park at Hibiya, Japan. The bird itself
win be about 10 feet high. and will
stand upon a foundation of the same
height. The basin formed below the
bird will be from 20 to 80 feet in dia-
meter.
Subscriptions taken now are payable
up to November 10, the date set for
the placing of the fountain.

Commission government has been in
