THE PROPOSED HIGH
SCHOOL CREDIT PLAN

The recent State Sunday school
convention, meeting in Lakeland,
adopted emphatic resolutions en-
dorsing the High School Bible Credit
Plan, and suggesting it's early adop-
ton in Florida
The resolution originated in the
West Florida Convention held in De-
Funiak Springs, and was conveyed
by General Secretary R. C. Weidler
to the lakeland meeting where its
presentation caused much enthusi-
asm among the delegates represent
ing every denomination and almost
every county in the State.
The resolution is as follows:
Whereas, the public school is the
recognized state agency for secular
education, and the Sunday school
the recognized church agency for
religious education; and
Whereas, true education re-
quires coordination of secular and
religious education, therefore,
"Be it resolved by the West Flor
ida Conference of the Florida Sun
day School Association, that we en-
drse the tendency toward Academic
recognition of religious education in
the Sunday school by the public
school authorities, and recommend
that the State Sunday school con-
vention appint a committee of five
to survey the situation in Florida
and to take such steps as may be ex-
pedient to develop schools and Sun
day schools of ur State, and,
"Be it further resolved, that the
Florida State Teachers Association
be requested to appoint a similar
committee to act with the above
State Sunday school committee in
the survey of educational conditions
and the mapping out Of co-opera-
tive plan for public school credits
for religious education
The plan is now being successful.

ica's specialists in this line. In the
meantime the committees called for
in the resolution will be named, and
after the meeting of the State
Teachers Association in Arcadia, the
joint committee will meet often to
survey the field and be ready for the
actual pushing of the work when de-
tails can be arranged.
R. C. Weidler, general secretary
of the Florida Sunday School Asso-
citation said in connection with this
move: Never perhaps has great
err task been undertaken. The plan
ought to be endorsed by every loyal
American citizen. 1t means the i'm
provement of our youth and a larger
preparation for life's problems. 1t
means adding dignity to the high
schools and the charging of the
scope of Sunday school usefulness.
All denominations are in accord.
Jewish organizations have agreed.
Even Catholic prelates, high in au-
thority, have conceded it's value and
are preparing to cooperate. 1t is a
splendid forward step. Florida, If
our present plans carry, will be in
the forefront when the nationwide
plan is adopted. The committees au-
thorized will be representative both
of secular education and Of the de-
nominations. We are taking time
in the selection because the task is
grave. With this movement Florida
takes advanced ground along educa-
ton lines"

MOVIE PICTURE ETIQUETTE

|
Perhaps many of those who. ha-
bitually attend the movies think
that because there is no spoken
word coming from the screen, con-
versation does not annoy others in
the audience, if that is what a
crowd at picture show can be
called.
But, all the same, it is gross vio-
klation Of the proprieties for attend
ANTS to carry on a lively convensa-
tion during the course TO the enter
tainment. 1t distracts the attention
OF those who desire to follow the
istory in all its variations and incl
dents and makes the hour an un-
pleasant one instead of what it
ought to be, a real pleasure.
1t is probable that the takers in
a movie theater do not realize just
how much of an annoyance they are,
land If the management could. in
some way, possibly by a simple re-
quest on the screen, call attention
TO the desirability of silence, the
nuisance could be very much abated.
Then, again, there are those
who seem, in some way to have alb
sorbed the idea that those around
them cannot read the running text

Cherries Regime at Institution
Condemned BY Grand Jury:
5.> Personal Touch Needed

I'VE very strongly condemn. the
principle which seems TO perVade the
whole atmosphere-that the boys are
put there for the purpose Of working
rather than of making better citizens
of them."-From territorial grand
jury's report on Boys Industrial
School, Wsialee.
A feeling which appears TO prevail
At Waialee that the inmates of the
school are placed in the Institution TO
turn out the greatest possible amount
of industrial products is strongly de-
nounced by the members of the terri
torial grand jury in their final report
presented to Circuit Judge Ashford
today.

weeks ago the grand jury indicted. -

full assembly or alleged ''mutiny. The
boys We're acquitted after a trial, and
it was largely ON account of their tes-
timony regarding conditions at the
school that the grand jury's personal
investigation was made.
The first thing to which the jury
calls attention is the lack of care of
the schools grounds, and recommends
that some effort be made TO clean
them up; also that attention be given
to keeping the woodwork and tables
in the dining-room clean. -. -. -.
Find Feeling of Enmity.
Emphasis is laid on the proposition
that. in the minds of the jury, the so
called insubordinatioH at the school
has come largely through lack of
proper administration While this
fault is not laid at the door of any
particular individual, it is borne out
by testimony, the report says, that
there is feeling of enmity between
the administration and inmates of the
institution.
I'VE are of the opinion that only q
certain degree of reliance should be
placed on the statements of the boys
of the institution the jurymen say.
butts nevertheless some eredence
should be given their story and their
appeal should be listened to-

lndeterminate Sentences.
tin the indeterminate sentence, the
statute fixes the maximum penalty
man shall receive, while the court
fixes the minimum. For instance, the
court may sentence a person to serve
one year in jail in case where the
maximum sentence is i've years. Upon
the expiration of one year, the per-
son is eligible for parole. However,
should he not be paroled, he might be
compelled to spend any number of
years. not exceeding five. in PRISON.
Considerable emphasis is laid by
the grand jurors in their report on
the matter of indeterminate sentences,
and attention is called to what they
think is IAN excess of leniency in
sentences imposed by our courts upon
convictions under felonious charges
and the granting of paroles upon
the minimum sentence" Appended to
the report is a tabulated statement
showing the number of convictions
upon which the parole prerogative has
been exercised during the last two
years.
The tabulated statement shows that
there is a large proportion of first de-
gree burglary cases and several of

The report calls attention to the fact
that cases of assault and battery with
a weapon, assault with weapon with
intent to commit robbery, and assault
with intent TO commit murder. are Of
lenses against the person. and that
the general average of the term i'm
posed by sentence for the commission
of these offenses is less than two
years, while the maximum is from
five to 10 years 1t is pointed out
that, in many instances, persons con-
victed of these offenses have been pa.
rolled in less than two years after the
beginning of their sentence.

Too Much Politics Principal
Trouble, and Work Too Tenn
porary, Grand Jury Says

That too much money Is being spent
on road work in tire city and county
OF Honolulu which, al best. is only of
a temporary nature: that too little
work OF a permanent nature is being
done, and that conditions along these
lines might he relieved in some
measure by the application of the
frontage tax, are some of the conclu-
sions reached by the territorial grand
jury. after an inspection OF tile high
ways, as outlined in its report IRE
scented TO Circuit Judge c. w. Ashford
today.
Appended 10 the grand jury report
Is a report of the city engineer cover
ing the period from January, 1913, TO
May, 1915. Attention is called to one
item OF $35 900 for maintenance in the
Honolulu road department, which
shows that, for each dollar expended
in the period, il cost 50 IL cents
This is bad enough showing. tho
grand jurors declare But take into
consideration that the money actually
spent for maintenance is probably not
more than 50 per cent efficient and
you have a state Of affairs that is ap-
paIling."
II is pointed out that. in the district
OF Honolulu, where il cost $500 to
spend every 500. there was expended
in May $5720 for equipment. Specific
Instances have been brought to the at
tention of the roads committee. the
report says, where road work was be-
gun, and in fact completed except for
the surfacing, and then allowed TO
stand for extended periods until IL was
washed out by rain, necessitating
THE work being done over again. The
report adds that there are cases where
ordinary prudence and the expendi-
ture OF a few dollars at the time would
have saved the city considerable sums
Of money.
The conclusions reached by the
grand JURY in its roads investigation
are as follows:
Too Much Temporary Work.
First: Too much money is being
expended for work which at best is
only OF temporary nature. much OF
which Is only begun and then allowed
TO drag along until washed out by
heavy rains, and has to be done again.
and too little work of a permanent
character. This condition may be re
lieved. In some measure. by the APP
plication Of the frontage tax.
Second: That efficiency rather
than party affIliatlon be made the
qualifications for employment in the
read department. This principle
should apply from the engineer to the
man with the pick and shovel. Re-
suits should be the only criterion. The
laborer who loafs on the job should
be displaced at once; the oyerseer
who fails to keep his men busy should
be fred, and the engineer who can
not make good. lose his official head
wfthf equal promptitude.
Operate the road department on
the same principle that any private
business is conducted. Eliminate
