SWEEPS RECORD AWAY
LOO, 900 Quarts Received
in New York, So Prices
Take a Big Tumble.

All records for a days receipts Of
Strawberries in this city were broken
yesterday. There were at all the docks
100 cars. with loads averaging 225
crates. Figured In quarts the receipts
amounted to 100000. making one-half
pint of berries for every one of the
greater city. OF these cars ~eighty-seven
were on the Pennsylvania docks. OF
which forty-seven came from North
Carolina and forty from Virginia. The
balance of the fruit came from Mary
land and Delaware, and was scattered
among the various docks.
The quality Of the berries was ex-
oellent and tho price low. ranging from
3 to 7 cents a quart. Taking an
average OF 5 cents a quart this made
the value of the berries in one day
$4,000. With berries reaching the re-
tail grocers at an average OF less h n
5 cents a quart housewives in Greater
New York should be able to get a crate
OF thirty-two quarts OF good berries for

CITIZENSHIP AND THE SCHOOLS.

The winning of College of Hawaii scholar
ship by young Korean student of Mills School
is chiefly noteworthy as emphasizing the inter
est in American history and institutions by the
children of Oriental parents growing up in
Hawaii. 1t is splendid prophesy, for the fu-
ture citizenship Of these islands. =..
Long ago the Oriental students in public and
private schools of Hawaii showed their ability
to acquire and retain knowledge. So that it is
no surprise to find one of Oriental birth win
ming a scholarship. The circumstances under
which it was won, however, deserve mention
Several students of Punahou, eligible to com
pete for the scholarship, decided not to do So
their decision being admittedly due in part to
the belief that they would probably be outdone
in tests of American history. Their own his
tory eourses were elective and it is stated that
they had preferred ancient to American history.
Not so the Oriental student in Hawaii. He is
eager to know American history intimately.
And being eager, he studies, ponders, remenl-
bers. And he inevitably gains the American
viewpoint. .=
The interest of these young Oriental students
in the history of the country which is their by
birthright if not by blood is an assurance of
good citizenship in the future. And it is an
other illustration of the fact that the best cti-
zenship of the future is being developed in the
schools of the present.

Sir: If the morning papers triple

the proceedings of the board of super.
visors with due civic honesty he
would have refrained from shooting
a broadside of detraction at that body
for neglect of action on sidewalks. A
general sidewalk ordinance, amend
ing the defective old one, has been
passed by this board, and resolutions
for carrying out its provisions, in re-
gard to particular streets, are In
course of enforcement. >.- u.
Also, the attorneys department has
in hand, by instruction of the board,
an ordinance to compel owners OF
property on streets already having
graded sidewalks to make or main
tain, as the present lack may be, prop
er sidewalk paving.
Moreover, the matutinal Jeremiah

structed under the auspices of the

of similarly good new footpaths made
in the same short period can be seen

upon the car route the writer takes to
and from his daily avocations-and
probably fike exhibits may be seen on
other streets, the board itself being
responsible for one such example un.
der way on frontage in its charge.
At all that. the campaign has been
retarded somewhat from the fact that
early this term, the supervisor having
principal oversight of sidewalks was
stricken down by his last illness, and
his successor in that role has not yet
been officially announced.
