EDITOR
A VISITOR HAWAII SHOULD SECURE.

An excellent suggestion has been made that
Dr. A. c. True, director of experiment stations
in the department of agriculture, should be In
vited to Hawaii with the party of Congressman
and other officials coming in May. n
A visit from DR.. True would be distinctly in
order at any time, since the federal government
maintains an important experiment station and
allied branches in this territory. A visit from
him at this particular time would be highly
beneficial There is on foot plan to amalga-
mate the experiment station and the College
of Hawaii-to work out system in conjunc-
ton with the territorial work The arguments
for the plan have been ably presented and
passed upon by the Chamber of Commerce.
Congressional action will be needed to perfect
the plan and it may not meet with favor IN the
department of agriculture unless good deal
of first -hand information is placed before the
office of experiment stations. 70 secure a visit
from the director Of that office would be the
best possible move.
The federal government S interest in Hawaii
is close and vital 1t may be taken for granted
that the department of agriculture or any other
department desires to do what is best for the
territory. If there is an argument as to what
is best in the present instance, personal IN
spection will be the quickest and most salts
factory way Of getting theory and facts co.
0rdinated.

TEAoHERs' PENSIONS.

Theoretically, at least, the teachers pension
idea is a sound one. The present bill before the
house of representatives may or may not CON
tain the best method of administering it but
the general principle is good and eventually
some sort of system should be enacted
School teachers are proverbially underpaid
and overworked. On their salaries they mani
testify are unable to save enough to support
them when the terrible strain of the classroom
has compelled them to retire. The alterna-
tives for those without an independent income
are dependence on others in their old age or
change at an early age to some more profitable
occupation The first is repugnant because the
pauperization Of public servants must be re-
pugnant: the latter is detrimental to the school
system because teachers efficiency in most
cases is in some proportion to his or her length
of service.
The mechanical problems of administering a
pension are difficult, however, and the legis-
lature should 60 slow Thousands of dollars
of the pubIc's money and public employees
money has been wasted IN other communities
because systems have been established without
any study or knowledge of conditions. Let the
LEGISLATORS find out first whether the teachers

lawmakers can devise fund that will stand
This probably means no legislation at the
