THE TEACHERS PAY. - Many
teachers spend a good deal of money
on their schools. In some schools
they must do this in order to get
along with their principals. At one
school the principal insisted that the
teachers pay for a piano for the
school, and they did Some teachers
rent pianos for their rooms.
Many principals want certain
things for their schools and the
teachers feel they must supply them,
for, listen well to this, the teachers
are marked on their attitude toward
the school See?
Books are needed that the board
of education does not supply, and
the teachers do. Kindergarten teach
ers' expenses for supplies, that
should be furnished and are not, are
simply enormous.
Some schools run circulating libra
ries, and the teachers pay for them.
Again, most teachers travel a certain
amount. While it is not compulsory,
they are told they cannot teach,
geography, for instance, intelligently
unless they travel some, and travel
is helpful in keeping all teachers out
of a rut."
These are merely examples of "a
few things the teachers do in con-
nection with their school work, that
cost money, and they do them freely
enough too.
Teachers must dress well. They
are marked on their appearance.
Strangely enough, clothes cost
money, too.

BOY SCOUTS EVIL.-Tl

by the militarists. When the Boy
Scouts were organized in England in
1908 and in this country in 1910 it's
originators tried to make everybody
believe that their purpose was to
make all young boys by teaching
them the joys of outdoor life. AS
stated time and again, the scouts
were to be messengers of brother
hood. AS it stands today, the study
of trees and nature is giving way to

month, considering the years OF
preparation and expense in attaining
it, to the mechanics who started to
work at bricklaying or carpentering
at the age of IA?
The statement that the salaries Of
teachers are not subject to f1uctua-
ton is somewhat amazing in the face
of the salary cuts that are matter
of record and capable of verifcation
by any one interested. The small
raises sometimes given just prior to
an election for the sake of the moral
effect they would have do not seem
to have eQualed the cuts given at
other times. At the moment, l recall

teachers just before Mayor Dunno
went out of Office, to be Immediately
recalled when Mayor Busse took the
reins.
Those having full knowledge con-
corning the teachers salaries for %
years say: "There never has been
any stability" That is why there is
constant turmoil and dissatisfaction.
The teachers can never be sure of
what their income is going to be, and
it goes without saying that with
minds not at rest on the bread and
butter question it is impossible to put
their best efforts into their work.

THE TERRIToRY's SHARE IN PROMO.
TON.

Promotion work in Hawaii has reached a
point where it would be foolish to cripple it
by inadequate appropriations.
Indeed, if any change is to be made by the
legislature in the amount the territory con-
tributes to the committee the sum should be
increased particularly as there is very
definite sentiment on the other islands in favor
of larger committee and one more represent
alive of all the territory.
With this sentiment the Star Bulletin is
much in sympathy. The Promotion Commit
tee in the past has done its best, this paper
feels, to represent all the islands and there has
never been submitted any evidence that the
committee Disseminated against any island.
The charges of knocking" laid against Homo
| lulu by Hilo people we're laid against indlvld-
uals and private interests here, not against the
Promotion Committee.
But growth and expansion is the logical out
come of healthy progress for promotion work
in Hawaii. From all over the territory arises
the demand for ''home promotion by that
term meaning the development of Hawaii's at
fractions to make them more available for tour
lists, and more and better organized entertain
ment for tourists after they are brought here
by the advertising done abroad.
At least two factors must aid in this "home
promotion more funds and more personal
work on behalf of the various islands.
The $4,000 proposed in the senate amend
ment will be little enough for the territory's
share if this larger plan Of home promotion"
is to be carried out.
If the expansion of the Promotion Commit
tee to nine--the four new members to represent
Oahu, Maui, Hawaii and Kauai stimulate
general interest in promotion work; if it will
impress on all the islands the value Of team
pulling in island advertising; if it will satisfy
the individual islands that they are getting at
tention-t then let's have the larger committee.
The Star-Builetin does not believe the expert
ment will do any harm, even if it fails; and we
do not expect it to fail unless the committee
men themselves fail to measure up to their OPP
portunities.
But it must be borne IN mind that this new
scheme means expansion Of promotion activi-
ties and that is going to cost money. Eighteen
dollars would be better than 1000
as the territory's share.

KING ALBERT's BOOK.

King Albert of Belgium is 40 years old today.
1t is somewhat of a coincidence that the Star
Bulletin has just received from London per-
haps the most remarkable volume out of all the
hundreds published on the present war. 1t is
King Albert's Book, 2 an unique and eloquent
tribute to the gallant Belgian who preferred to
see his country in smoking ruins and himself
an outlaw rather than submit to what he de-
clared was violation of Belgian neutrality.
King Albert 5 Book is not dry collection of
diplomatic messages dealing in involved and
subtle terms with the European crisis. It is a
collection of individual and personal tributes
to the young ruler now fighting in his last re-
naming corner of Belgium. There is a fore
word by Asquith, an introduction by Hall
Game. And the pages contain scores of bits of
prose or poetry to or dealing with King Albert
and unhappy Belgium. It is finely illustrated
with reproductions of paintings, cartoons and
drawings ~ y . ISIS

IS THE Spring CAMPAIGN" ON?

Frances sudden offensive move along the
western battle-line from the Meuse to the Mo-
selle bears every indication, that the much
heralded "spring attack" of the Allies has
been launched.
Lord Kitchener in an unforgettable phrase
said that he did not know when the war would
end, but that it would start in May. Interpret
ing this to mean that the Allies in May would
begin an incessant hammering at the German
positions with all their strength it appears that
the eastern end of the long line from Dover
straits to the Swiss border is the first to be
tested. F.eFs 49,
An American correspondent, writing from
Netherlands on March Is, predicted that the
French would begin their real offensive on
April Is. 1t has begun sooner than he expected
or than the majority of American critics have
prophesied.
According to reports from French sources
which bear more than the usual marks OF au-
thority, the British and the French each have
created entirely new armies to throw against
the long-maintained German lines This new
British army is not a surprise. The recruiting,
the training of the recruits and even their
transportation across the channel have been
matters Of news that escaped the blue pencil Of
the censors But it is rather surprise to hear
that France has not only kept more than mil
lion men on the front but has raised 100000
new soldiers and groomed them for combat
Five hundred thousand of this new French
armywere secured from the 1914 class recruits.
The other 10000 came from the French colo

Regiments.

Many of them came to France with their
training largely in hand; camps of instruction
having been established In the colonies. 1t is
asserted that these 100000 men have been
chosen to deliver the first blow of the spring
campaign and if such is the case, these are
the soldiers who have suddenly been unleashed
against the Germans. Each regiment is said
to consist of three battaIions of natives and one
of French, most of the officers being French.
The Africans are looked upon as being espe-
cially valuable in the desperate sort Of work
the Allies now face.
The fight to dislodge the Teutons from the
positions they have stubbornly held all winter
will be q costly struggle. Both sides undoubt-
edly have large reserves at hand to rush into
the trenches. The spring campaign" will
probably result in greater loss of life even
than that of the fall.
