THE WAR AND McKINLEY HIGH SCHOOL.

Hawais schools well deserve the recognition they
have received tremendous factors in the melting
pot of races here The race tolerance exhibited at
the public and private schools never fails to
the visitor An illustration of this spirit of toler-
ance-an asset of youth everywhere, be it remem-
bered-comes in an editorial in "Black and Gold, .
the Mckinley High school publication. It writ,
ten, the Star Bulletin is informed by Marie T. Cor,
rea, editorin-chief of the publication. 1t follows
"Time and again it has been stated and proven
that Honolulu is cosmopolitan city. Harmony ex-
lists among all nationalities, not only in time of
peace, but also when the great world powers, of
which Honolulu shelters many representatives, are
engaged in momentous conflict such as the present
European war.
ITO illustrate this harmony, let us pick out our
own Mckinley High school, where you find students
whose near relatives are waging war with each 9th
er. Is the rancor and jealous NO obvious on the
battlefield evident here? No, never. The slightest
chance for showing luminosity is not afforded nor
desired Here you find the English pupil sitting BY
the side Of the German student, apparently unconr
scious of the bitterness which exists between their
mother countries, perhaps reading out of the same
book or using one another's pencils and TOOLS ].
Il wonder what an English or German leader
would think if he should be given glance at so cor
dial relationship? Would it touch his heart or
would IT cause his anger to wax stronger? / shall
not even attempt to answer this"

session. Will the house allow it? Will the house
play politics with moral measure? Is the intelli-
gence the character of the house of 1917 to be
measured in terms of petty dickerng and petty bar
gaining?
Or will the house strip off parasitic politics and
handle the abatement measure on its merits?
Is the abatement bill, which has the support of
public officials jurists, physicians. economists, TO
be handled by deals and trades or by plain observ
ance of the sworn duty of Legislators? ~.
No need again to reeite all the arguments which
prove conclusively that the bill should become law
No need again to recte the local situation and the
local conditions which demand the application of
such law to clean up commercial vice.
Now the issue is down to fundamentals. 1t is
squarely up to the house 1t is squarely up to the
sense of public duty, to the character, to the con-
science of each individual member of the house
Where do they stand? What is their vote?

STATES
HOMESTEAD VIEW

Over the question of homesteading
the Waiakea plantation lands, lively
argument waxed this morning in the
senate public lands committee when
Senator s. l.. Desha, arguing on house
bill Il, opposed the majority Of the
committee. .: E.
Desha argued that the Waiakea
lands should be drawn by lot, claiming
that this would give fair chance to
all classes of people. Single, who
led the argument for the majority Of
the committee, declared that the gov.
eminent should be protected by auc.
tioning the land and securing competi-
ton. ss4--.-. 81 -z@.z,s Is.
Shingles STAND on the question Is
voiced full in the following letter to
the chairman of the lands committee,
as. follows: -. H..
Il approve of bill somewhat on the
lines of that introduced by the Hon.
N. K. Lyman, but with the following
amendments: a.. -. I = -.
"First-The Waiakea Mill Company
should be induced to relinquish to the
government from their lease. the tract
Of 1000 acres Of cane land lying on

"Third-That in consideration of the
REIMBURSEMENT by the Waiakea Mill
Company of the tract on June /, 1917,
an application to lease the remainder

ton (about $500 acresl for a period
of Is years from June /, 1918, shall be
received from the company at an up
set rental of SIS per acre, the lease to
be put up to auction at that figure and
to be of the usual form under the law.
II recommend that the committee
should favor the passing of the bill as
introduced, with the above amend
ments.
81 am not in favor of including in
this bill any reference to rights OF
way for railroad or to camp sites, for
j believe that these are matters which
should be left in the hands of the
board of land commissioners.
Except by some such provisions as
my amendments proposed l see no
means of preserving the valuable cane
roots on these lands for the benefit
of the community while the policy Of
,homestea ding these, lands Is being
carried out. I am therefore in favor
of a bill drafted on the lines above
noted.

LEGISLATIVE ENCOURAGEMENT FOR
SCHOOL GARDENING.

Pending in the legislature now is an appropria
ton Of $4,000 for vocational work by the public
schools bf the territory The item will go to confer
ence between the two houses, since the department
estimate was reduced by the house and the appro-
priation passed there in a smaller sum. The senate
raises the amount to 100000 thus making confer
ence necessary.
Ii is to be hoped the house conferees will agree to
the additional sum- II the $60000 is voted, the de
pament OF public instruction will have at its dis
posal very mnehneeded fund for encouraging the
school and homegardening of public school pupils.
IN fact II is largely because of the new need that
has arisen since elegslature met that the senate
aereed to the increase as passed by the house
Representative Norman Lyman has shown him.
self friend of the schools and aware of the value
Of encouraging school gardening by his resolution
.lfocating small payment to teachers who take
charge Of the gardening.
The resolution passed the house but has been laid
81 the table in the senate several technical reasons
iof this action being offered. II would be simple
solution Of what sth houses are trying to do If the
enate should agree in principle with the Lyman
solution and the house should agree to the $4,000
item in conferences for out of this $4,000 the de-
|1rtment Of public instruction intends pay teach
RS adequately for their special time and energy in
The school gardens
There is no difference Of opinion between the two
|1nses. Il Il merely a difference Of method Mr..
<nan's resolution Is commercially directed toward
tkine il specific that teachers who give PIP their
|N hours Of spare time to personal work develop
0f school and home gardening should receive a
small sum in addition to their salaries. The idea is
sQintely correct and the senate makes possible its
.'ffations in another way, BY increasing the fund
0If Of which these small sums may be taken.
