A very stimulating and, readable
publication, that will be of special in
terest to rural school teachers in Ha-
waii, has recently come from the ag-
ricultural experiment station Of Wis
consin. 1t is entitled Some Eco
nomic Factors Which Influence Ru-
raj Education in Wisconsin" and en-
bodies the results of a scientific state
survey. Many of the findings are d.
rectly applicable to conditions here in
Hawaii.
For example, t was clearly demon
strated that farm-tenants have a far
less vital interest in the rural school
than do the farm-owners 1t is the
permanent rural community that
counts most in building up effective
rural schools and rural citizenship.

PLANTATION ARITHMETIC

Two elementary school texts, re-
Gently issued by prominent mainland
firms, illustrate the modern trend ii
making education connect with real
life and real JOBS. One is an Agricul.
tural Arithmetic, by Stratton and
Remick MACMILLAN co.,. It's purpose
Is to present the basic principles OF
arithmetic by making use Of problems
met in daily experience in rural CON.
munities.
The other is a Rural Arithmetic, b.
Thomas american Book CO.., design.
ed as an auxiliary text in either gram.
mar or high schools. 1t gives the
principles of arithmetic as applied to
the material with which the farmer
comes in daily contact.
An arithmetic that includes the
problems commonly met with in WORK
upon Hawaiian plantations-suga' :,
pineapple, rice, t2ro, coffee-ranches,
and other distinctive local industries,
would undoubtedly be widely used in
the country schools.

OBITUARY.

H. G. Calvert suddenly passed
away at the Dr.. Teeter Sanitarium
at Davenport Friday May the 5th.
The cause of his death was weak
heart which developed into dropsy.
Interment was made at the Fair
mount cemetary at Spokane after
short funeral services conducted by
Mrs. Matte Grippe. Deceased was
born near Toronto, Canada, in the
year of 1841. He came to St. Clair
Michigan when II years of age and
held position there for some time
as an engineer in the oil fields. In
1886 he was married to Miss Julia
E. Pace and moved to Missouri in
tn T! year where he engaged in farm
ing. To this union was born four
children, two ne &,si-sA have preced-
ed the father in death. Those sur
viving are Chas. E. of Everett and
Josephine of Mold. In the year of
1900 the family removed to the Big
Bend country in Washington where
they settled near Mold and engaged
in farming where they have lived
ever since. Mr.. Calvert was loved
and respected by all who knew him
and the bereaved ones have the
sympathy of the entire community y.

Juniors.

The Juniors will probably have
an attendance holiday some time be-
fore school is out Judging from the
rate at which their stars are in
creasing but if they don't get one
now they can hold over their stars
until next year.
The high school now has music
fifteen minutes each day.
1t seems to be impossible to in
vent a perpetual motion machine SO
we wish those who are spending
their time trying to do this would
turn their efforts toward inventing
scheme whereby all high school
pupils could make their grades
without having to study during the
spring fever period.
Both German classes had tests
last Friday. The cause of the poor
grades received can be accredited to
the ever ready excuse-spring fever.
The Juniors have begun to pre-
pare for the Senior Reception. They
are thinking of buying the necessary
articles now in order to economize.

AN ANTIDOTE FOR U-BOATs

WASHINGTON, May 9.-Addition-
al information of experiments with
devices for combating German sub
marines came to the navy depart
ment from scientists who have been
working independently of the naval
consulting board. A number of con-
ferences were held, while the board
members, who were present at the
meeting last night at secretary Dan
iels' home, also remained in the city
to continue work with naval ex-
perts.
Neither the secretary nor any ma
val official would discuss the results
of the meeting last night further
than to say that progress was being
made and that further experiments
would be carried forward without
delay. In some cases expensive
practical tests already have been
made with striking results.
One official explained that what
was being done would probably re-
suit in adding several different
ways and means to the anti-sub-
marine crusade. 1t is upon the cum
ulative effect of all the proposed
new devices, as well as new meth
DDS of operation against submarines,
that the feeling is based that some
thing can be accomplished toward
checking the ravages of the U-boats
