Keep Schools Open.

While discussing the value Of STU
don't labor in the fields of the county
those who have the matter under
consideration should not forget the
,,ossible effect upon the educational
uursuits of those it proposes TO take
fro mthe schools during the midst OF
their courses.
Fducationalists know that one O.
the greatest pitfalls in the way OF
continued course of education for
Young men of high school age Is a
neriod during which the youth alb
sents himself from school, with the
intention to return later. Experience
has shown that large majority OF
those who leave, and take start into
either business or agriculture, seldom
return. This is due partially to an
awakened ambition toward the ultl-
r,ate occupation of life. induced by
the receipt of money actually earned.
and partially because the mind OF d
student is made Up Of mental attri-
butes that exist only during a course
Of educational training, and IS los
after the school days are over, or
foregone.
None doubts the necessity of har-
esting the crops of the county, but
the plan of taking the youths from
ne schools to do the work at least
,crits a serious consideration of both
.des of the proposition. If the propo-
t;7n is put into effect, and it results
in disrupting and demoralizing the
educational life of the county to the
extent that students will be lost to
the schools. the plan will effect merely
the substitution of suppositious sac
rifice OF crops for sacrifice OF. edu-
Gated manhood. This may not be tbs
result, but the fact that the govern
ment has appealed TO the colleges anG
schools to hold to the best of their
ability their students in attendance
during war times is significant.
Thus far the ranchers of the coun-
ty have not seen fit to support the
various plans submitted by the labor
reau for bringing into the county
available labor of the north.
ether this is result of lack of
ganization, or a sentient against the
-abor plan IS another consideration.
The fact remains that if labor of the
north is available, ana the Imperial
county rancher does not, by the vari-
Gus PLANS presented, avail himself of
the labor, the fault lies, more or less,
at home.
If the rancher can induce individu-
al students to work on the ranches,
plan for releasing them fro mthe
schools, giving them credit, may not
be amiss, but a general proposition
that suggests the closing Of the
schools of the county seems rather
an extreme measure, in view Of the
failure Of the county ranchers TO sup
port all other labor plans presented.

president of the Cincinnati Nationals

Matter Up TO Players
The club owners, Herman said,

is now up to the players TO make the
next move.
"The time for argument and explain
alton has passed" Mr.. Hermann
said. From now on this club as we'll
us every other club in the American
and National leagues, will let the
players severely alone. They have
our terms and the contracts which
were duly forwarded to them. It's up
to them to make the next move
Sought to Deal Fairly
Ever since this strike idea of the
baseball players fraternity was agi-
tated we have tried to deal fairly with
the players-tried to get them back
into line without trespassing on their
ideas of their own dignity.
I'VE are now satisfied that the
trouble of the minor leagues cut no
figure with the major leagues at all
that the whole thing is simply play

1t was a bright moonlight last
night and the city light department
is hoping that tonight is bright
moonlight night and that every night
from now on until it rains heavily is
bright moonlight night. The city
street lights were out all last night
and will continue to be dark until
Jupe PIuvius brings along his water
ing cart with a bumper crop of show
ers.
The city light department depending
on the Nuuanu Valley reservoirs with
which to make power and light is prac-
tically out of business owing to the
shortage OF water. This morning
there was only II feet inches in No.
reservoir, s feet in No. 2 basin. II
feet in No. 8 tank and 1e feet in No. 4.
This is barely sufficient to supply the
city with drinking water and as re-
suit the city has been without light
so far as the street lamps are concern
ed for the past three nights.
The Maole ditch from Hillebrand
Glen to No. 4 reservoir was unoffic-
tally opened the other day to bring in
water but the flow is not great al
though every little bit helps.
The BeretanIa street pump is still
working hard to keep the upper levels
Of the city supplied with artesian well
water and artesian we'll water may
have to be used to supply the lower
levels II the drought keeps up. 49,.

The exhibition that was almost

Kauai early this week. People pass

anese laborer carefully prepare the
telephone pole for the dying act. A
few Japanese, among them the man.
wife, gathered about, but showed only
a mild interest in the proceedings.
The Japanese took in the size of the
crowd and decided that the gate re-
