Franklin, Sept. t2.-Mrs. Loena Re
becca Gates, 81 years old, September
|, widow of Harrison Gates, died ear
ly yesterday morning after an Illness
OF several weeks. She is survived by
two sons Gov. Charles " Gates and

Gates left the night of August 81 for
Oakland, Calf, to preside and deliver
the opening address at the annual
convention of the American Road
Building association and the Ameri-
can Highway association which con
venes tomorrow. He was in some
doubt about making the trip on ac-
count of the state of his mothers
health, but her condition improved
sufficiently to appear to warrant his
going September she suffered a
stroke of apopleXy from which she
rallied we'll, but last Wednesday she
suffered a second stroke, more ser
ious, and Friday she began to fail rap
idly.
Gov Gates was notified yesterday
of his mothers death and today Il

HIGH SCHOOL IGAIN
C0MPELS HIRING
NEW TEACHER
Classes So ,Large That Another
Teacher Was Necessary
FRESHMAN CLASS OVER 100
improved Bennington High School
and New Courses Attract Big
Gain in Students.

AT meeting of the school board
Saturday evening at whidh all mem
bers were present ii was unanimous
ly voted to engage another teacher
for the high school to assist in the
teaching of English and history.
The board hesitated to take such
action, but after careful considera-
ton of the conditions they were all
convinced that it was unavoidable.
Bennington high school is offering
a broad and complete curriculum
The college preparatory course has
not been curtaied by the introduc-
tion of the more popular and practi-
cal courses in the Industrial arts, and
as these courses have developed into
two and three years work, the- num-
ber of subjects taught has been large
ly increased.
Last year considerable difficulty
was experienced in arranging the pro
gram SO that each pupil could obtain
the subjects he desired, and at the
opening of school last week with an
entering class of one hundred it was
found impossible to make satisfac-
tory program. Glasses in English
and in history numbered over forty
each and algebra divisions were near
ly as large, Teachers cannot do JUS
tice TO pupils in classes of such size
and the end of the year would neces-
sarily bring more than the normal
percentage of failures
Setting aside the far more import
ant feature. the loss OF Il years work
by these pupils. and considering only
the financial aspect OF these failures
it is evident that Mt per capita cost
per pupil of $50 per year ten failures
avoided will more than Offset the cost
of another teacher
Considered in its relation to tuit-
ion pupils the conclusion reached was
that an additional teacher will enable
the school to better serve our own
pupils while the increased tuition will
more than pay the increase In eX.
pense, no account being taken of the
general advantage to the town in the
way of business brought in by out
side pupils.
The total high school enrolment is
23G. OF these 10 are exclusively un-
der Miss Hoffman in the teachers
training department maintained by
the state, leaving 22l in the regular
courses under eight teachers, or nine
counting the additional teacher Two
of these are wholly engaged in the
industrial arts courses and kindred
subjects and give part of their time
to the grades where this work begins.
The average number OF pupils per
teacher in high school for the coun-
try at large is "a. on which basis
nine teachers call for PIG pupils
The large entering class is due to
the increasing tendency for all gradu-
ates from the local grammar schools,
both public and parochial, to desire
advanced education Doubtless the
iiberalized courses of the high school
are more attractive and are drawing
more pupils from neighboring towns.
The more general advanced, popular
education becomes; the greater the
efficiency of the community. The
school board proposes to hold the
schools up TO the highest possible de.
gree of efficiency so long as the pub.
lie will stand firm in its support

Word has been received at the Of
fees of Fred L. 'Waldron, Ltd. from
the Great Northern Pacific Steamship
Company's San Francisco office that
the Great Northern will have accom-
modations for 100 persons in the tour
list class cabins, which correspond to
second-class on ether lines. :..s
These accommodations are excep-
tional and are something which has
never been possible on the San Fran
cisco Honolulu run before" said Mr..
Waldron today. <.-2.
Every cabin has an electric fan,
there is special dining saloon aud
a smoking room. For inside rooms,
$45 each way will be charged. and FOR
outside, $50. The dining-room menu
for this class is of exactly the same
quality as the first cabin, the only
difference being less variety.
Where the first cabin passen-
gers have the choice OF three soups
or entrees, the tourist class has one,
and the rest of the menu accordingly
There are tables for four, six and
eight persons.
I'VE expect these facilities will APP
peal to a large number Of Honolulu
people who cannot afford first cabin
prices, which. on the Great Northern
will range from S65 up These cabins
are located on G deck. and are finer
than the average first CABIN facilities
used to be a few years ago.
Mr.. WaldrOn has had numerous ap-
plications here in the last few. days
for accommodations on the Great
Northern's first trip from this port to
the coast. The big liner will make
her first departure from here for San
Francisco at IL o'clock the might of
December 6, and will arrive there four
and d half days later, at IL o'clock the
morning of December IL.
Cal E. Stone, in a circular letter re-
ceived this week by the local agents,
says the Great Northern will have
freight space for approximately 5000
tons measurement, which includes $50
tons of refrigerator space and
garage for 40 automobiles, set up.
