MANUAL TRAINING
IN SCHOOLS HERE
BEINGFURTHIERED
500 Boys Enrolled in Vocational
Classes Which Are Prac-
4 ticalIy Self Supporting

An effort TO make Honolulu's voca-
tional training classes self-supporting
is meeting with unqualified success,
saws Ken. G.. Bryan, vocational in
struetor for the island OF Oahu. Dur
ing the present school year it is ex-
pected that the vocational classes will
turn out sufficient salable material to
nav for lumber and other supplies
used in the making, he adds.
Vocational training classes now are
being conducted at Central Grammar.
Kaiulani, Kaahumanu, Liliuokalani,
Kalihiwaena and Royal schools under
Bryan's personal direction. Consider
ably more attention is being paid to
this work this year, FIVE vocational
teachers and one substitute teacher
being employed. .F ..
The work now is practically on
selisupporting basis" Bryan says.
''The territory is not required to fur
nish lumber or other materials. The
students are making articles that find
a ready sale. These are purchased
by friends of the students and the
teachers, and sometimes by the stu
dents themselves. Among the arti-
cles being made are chairs, tables,
lunch baskets and some mission fur
niture s...=.-
Bryan points out that there are
about 500 boys taking vocational train
ing in Honolulu, and this is gain
of about 200 over the number of stu.
dents last year. Interest in the work
is keen, making 1t necessary that
some of the shops open at 8 o'clock
in the morning and close at 3 O'Clock
in the afternoon. &-..-.@
A new feature of public school work
this year will be furtherance of the
school garden plan, these gardens to
furnish vegetables for the domestic
science classes which prepare the five
cent noon lunches for the pupils.

led ConsuI-General r. Moroi of the
local Japanese consulate, says: That
the consul is investigating labor con-
ditions on the island Of Kauai with

where he went he has advised all
laboEers that If they are to reside in
this country permanently they must
try to assimilate American customs
and develop the brighter point Of their
natural character as Japanese to be
truthful, faithful and industrious.
The consul Is also giving food ad-
vice to the wives and daughters OIL
the laborers by pointing out that a
majority of divorce cases in the
courts of this country are from the
Japanese, that they should be asham-
ed Of themselves and that they are a
disgrace to their sisters in their own
country. ..:.-
He also emphasized the fact that
all japanese children must attend the
public schools, even they are living
in incon7enient places. The parents
must not neglect to educate their
children. II. ...-..-...., ..... j. :.

mails by the entente allies was dis
cussed today at a conference between
Dyke, American minister at The
Hague Information brought by DIR.

States in framing the note to Great
Britain on contraband.
DR.. Van Dyke said embargoes against
re-exportation have been placed by the
Netherlands on practically all articles
on the contraband and conditional con-
traband lists. Increased American trade
with European neutrals was due
largely, he thought. to the shutting of
of other sources of supply.
American Trade Flourishes.
DIR. Van Dyke took the position that
America trade with Europe was flourish
ing in spite of the obstacles thrown in it's
way 1t is understood that he has pre-
pared for presentation to- the State De-
partment complete figures on American
trade with which the United States can
meet the contention OF Great Britain that
goods of contra band and a conditional
contraband nature are finding their way
to the Teutonic powers.

a formal report on the removal of mail
by Great Britain from the steamer Rot
terdam has been made to the State De-
partment by DIR. Van Dyke, who came
home on the ship. 1t is expected that the
information will be used in a note to
Great Britain when that country formally
replies to the American protest against
mail seizure.

try until March ).

talon, D. c.. on River Flats
Near Fort Foote.

While out ON practice cruise yester-
day. the U. S. S. Sylvia, training ship
of the Naval Battalion of the National
Guard of the District Of Columbia, un-
der the command Of Commander Joseph
A. Dempf. ran aground near Broad
creek, just below Fort Foote. Efforts
of the naval tug Choctaw from the
Washington navy yard last night to
pull the vessel off the flats failed, and
this afternoon at flood tide two naval
tugs, the Choctaw and Tecumseh, will
make further attempt to float the YES
sci. According to report received at the
yard, the naval militia vessel is very
hard aground, and it probably will take
the combined efforts of the two power
full tugs to pull her back into, deep
water.
In addition to Commander Dempf and
the enlisted personnel there were on
the vessel Harold l.. Crawford, naviga
tor; Ensign Charles S. O'Connor. COM

p. D. Johnston, commanding the 1st
Division.
Due to Return at 5 Pm.
The vessel was due to arrive at her
y !,
according to plans which were an
nonnced before she left. When the
young men did not return to their
homes on time. calls began coming by
telephone to the naval militia head
quarters, at the foot of Water and O
streets southwest. and the stream of
inquiries poured in all night and dur
ing this morning.
Details as to the grounding of the
ship are meager. consisting principally
of the official reports and appeals for
help from those aboard the vessel Re-
ports received here indicated that the
vessel was well out of the channel,
and this, together with the very low
strong northwest wind. will make The
job of floating the Sylvia a difficult
one.
Reports received at Washington last
night said that arrangements had been
made to put the men ashore, but this
is doubted. as those known to have
been on the vessels have not reported
at their homes. The entire compile
ment probably will be kept aboard the
SILVIA until she arrives at her dock
this afternoon. if the naval tugs are
successful in their efforts to pull her
off,
Men May Be Short of Rations.
AS the trip was only to be for one
day, it is probable that arrangements
only were made to ration the men for
one meal, as is usual on such trips
Whether the ship had enough on board
to carry her over two days is not
known, but she is said usually to carry
only enough for the particular duty
on which she starts out to perform.
The men probably are not suffering
any from the cold. as none of the re-
ports gave any indication that her
heating plant was out of commission,
or that her boilers could not be used

to pull her off the flats. Whether the
ship is in any danger cannot be de-
termined from the meager reports
which so far have come to Washing

on her homeward-bound voyage when
