We plead fer trained teachers in TIE
schools, not Iobs for islanders.
The Urinary grade throughout the
territory requires. admittedly. two
years or even longer in which TO do
the work Eng!ish-spe children do
in one year. which is not due 10 the
stupidity OF island children but TO the
fact that the entering class mist
master what is Practically a isn
language. at least so far as the ability
Ito sneak English goes. in our island
/ yernacular, this the children no can.
This fact makes still graver the fol
loving conditions: IS. +.
Our Normal school admits pupils
grade and graduates them with a
teachers grammar grade certificate
&ftcr a fouryear course. Now. Of the
3S mainland states, SO have rejected
this plan as unworthy of American
teachers. OF the pine remaining states
Texas requires better preparation OF
some Of its teachers. though not of all.
Delaware is this year undertaking a
more thorough course, and Vermont
and Florida are abolishing their old
systems, similar to ours. in favor Of
the system now generally established.
Six southern states, which. carry the
burden Of a double school system for
colered and for white children, still
/ hold to this plan. Three of these are
scattered and three constitute a group
lying in the heart of the Black Belt,
Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi We
have no right to claim equality with
them. however. for their backward
condition is in spite OF the desire of
their present officials and not because
Of official federation or support. No
states Of the Union are making great
er relative advance in the percent
age of school attendance, in the char
acter Of the curriculum, or in the adj
yancinS standards set for the teachers
The Americanization Problem
The Americanization OF the foreign
immigrant is now nation wide prob
lem that might easily become a ma
tiCnal menace. Hawaii has its own
acute form of this, and the type of
teacher to which we commit its hand
ling in the schools is unavoidably one
element in it's solution. We limit still
further the contact or alien elements
with the American spirit by our mar
row policy as to American teachers
from the mainland, and still more by
our insuIarity that refuses recognition
to our students unless they choose the
short cut to an education prescribed
by the Normal school. Read over the
lists OF Normal school graduates and
notice how largely they are drawn
from social groups the least American
in blood and bringing up. That these
groups should share in all forms of
our island life is best, but that they
should dominate our schools seems
doubtful. Surely in these days no
American need justify most serious
interest in public education and it is
upon this gravest of considerations we
base this protest.
Departments Policy
"A realization of these matters
makes still more significant speech
delivered by the superintendent of
public instruction at the graduation
exercises of the Normal school, where
in. as orator of the day, he announced
the policy of the department of public
instruction. 1t was correctly reported
in the Advertiser of June % in form
which the superintendent writes he is

died Yesterday in the Melrose hospital.
Mr.. Parker was born in Highgate and
at the age of Is years went to Lee. Mass,
where he learned the paper making in
dustry. He moved to Holyoke, Mass.

gagged in the making of paper. desire

GOV. GATES VISITED BARRACKS.
But Could Not Review Vermont Troops
Because of Rain.

Burlington, Sept 30.-Gov Gates in
spected the barracks of the First Yer
mont infantry yesterday instead of hold
ing a review as planned, the latter ar
having been prevented by the
rain. Possibly review will be held
later.
The detail work of releasing the lst
Vermont from active duty in the federal
service, which as Colonel Reeves has
stated is neither a mastering out nor the
discharging of the regiment, but rather
granting the troops a furlough, until such
time as they may be needed, is progress
ing steadily and it is hoped that the reg
iment may leave the fort next Wednes-
day. The rechecking of all government
property used by the regiment is huge
task and the one which is causing the
greatest delay, although there are a
myriad of papers to be filled out Tor
other things. 1t is thought probable that
candidates for the rife team viii be Sc
lected for the rifle team within a day or
two and sent at once to Jacksonville,
Fla. where the national rife matches VIII
take place on Oct. 20. :.
Even the most casual observer could
not fail to be impressed with the init
mate acquaintance of Col Reeves with
the men Of the regiment and the inter
est shown by Coy. Gates in all details
of the Vermont soldiers life. II there
was a man of any company who had
done especially meritorious work, Col
Reeves mentioned him to the chief ex-
ecutive, telling of his service. The com
manding Office also explained the vari.
ous parts of the soldiers equipment ana
knew lust how everything should be
placed, from kitchen to attic of the bar
acks. There were many feminine visitors

II. S. PLANS NO PEACE MOVE.
Will Not Offer Mediation Until Both
Sides Are Willing.

Washington, y. G., Sept 3o--While
the "hands off" statement of David Lloyd
George. the British war minister, through
the United Press aroused great interest
on the part of Secretary Lansing and
other officials of the state department
Yesterday, it was regarded by them more
in the light of confirming this govern
ment's attitude than as sounding warn
ing against steps England believed were
.nnder way.
The decision of the administration not
TO intervene until it was certain that
peace overtures would be acceptable to
both sides was reached some time ago.
1t is regarded as significant that the
LLOYD George statement should have foi-
lowed closely on the heels of reports
from England that Germany might be
expected to "set another peace kite fly
ing" in October.
American officials are, therefore, in
clined to feel that the statement of the
war minister was intended to forestall
anv possible move that might result from
the expected German peace feeler. rather
than prompted by actual belief that the
United States was about to intervene.
