Perhaps the most notable specinen
of self-watering plants is the so-cailed
'water barrel" which, of about the
size and shape of an ordinary beer
keg, is in fact nothing more or less
than a living water tank. It's whole
interior is composed of storage cells
so admirably arranged that the pulp
which they form contains something
like 90 per cent pure water.

CENTER on THE SURVEY.

! Half a dozen "freak" bills relating to public
school education in Hawaii are lowering around the
legislative halls. Some of them may be introduced
| Most II not all of them express in some form the
vague dissatisfaction of many people over the
courses of instruction. Particularly, there is q
feeling that Hawaii's public school pupils are not
getting firm enough hold on English speaking
English reading and English wrifng.
Several of the measures suggeStsd in an indefinite
way actually drafted for introduction are plainly
natgrowths of the College Clubs issue with the adj
ADMINISTRATION. for that is what the situation now
amounts tO-an issue between the College Club and
hf0vernor Pinkham.
In the opinion of the Star-Bulletin, which has
heard from all sides in this controversy the efforts
of all interested in the public schools should be CEN
tered on one Object-to obtain the federal survey.
1t is unwise ii is foolish, ii will be disastrous to
begin fights on details, to 60 off on educational
tangents. to stop and argue about sidessues. The
present legislature should pay heed to bills pur-
porting 10 revise the principles of common school
education here. 1t is dangerous to tamper with
school structures particularly by those entirely out
side the educational field.
The legislature has one cIean-cut proposal before
Representative Cookies resolution which will
nem6riafize to direct fhe making of fed
eral survey here.
This plan has received widespread support. 1t is
not radical II is not blow at the administration.
Ii is not criticism of the present department of
public instruction. 1t is merely the answer to an
inquiry Is Hawaii going the right route in its vital
problem of public-school educations
True, criticism of the department of public in
struction has developed But that Is one of the side
issues over which Hawaii should not now stop to
fight. 1t will never be settled by local argument.
Within the past few months many bulletins from
the e. s. bureau of education have been issued show
ing the extent to which states and cities have used
their opportunity of securing the advice of the fed
eral experts. That is all Hawaii is asked to do
Uncle Sam comes in not to find fault but to find
ways to help Isn't that fair? Why should it be
opposed?

This remark was made today by businessman

Undoubtedly many a businessman who reads this
will feel that he cannot spare the time either to find
out what is be done do il after he finds out.

ihe Joint civic committee has branded as reactonary
will move easily. smoothly, triumphanty through
the legislature and the shrewd political generals be-
hind il will easy, smooth, triumphant smiles.
And they will have the smiles coming to them.
The Chamber Of Commerce has legislative com
mittee which is watching legislation. But anyone
who moves around the Capitol halls these days and
senses the atmosphere knows full well that watch

hind the convention charter.

Than the fight any one or two committee members
can put up.
Legislators look 10 the sentiment of the people as
Expressed by voters. They are sent to fhe legsla-
ilre by voters They listen TO voters They are in
fnenced by voters. That is fundamental OF Amer
lean government eyerswhere-on the mainland as
well as in Hawaii.
Now it is up TO the civic organizations 10 show
that they speak for rofers.
The membership of the Chamber of Commerce. the
Civic Federation the AID Club, the Rotary Club, the
commercial club, the Mems League-all of which
have gone over this matter of new city charter
represents probably from 1000 to 1900 voters. ..I

Sir: Il do not agree with you In
your editorial in today's Star-Bulletin
On Milk Inspection Under Fire :"
There Is no question that diaries on
Oahu have improved over 100 per cent
in the last five years. But why all
talk Of the. danger Of tuberculosis in
the milk and no mention of other just
as dangerous contagious diseases
which are more apt to get into the
milk than tubercular germs? Has any
one shown the public that it is fact
that tuberculosis is transferable from
the bovine to the human being? It is
surely not transferable from the boz
vine to its offspring; then why to the
human being? But for arguments
sake, let's allow that the contention
Of the board Of agriculture be true,

is only one absolute way to destroy all

"Hoard's Dairygien' OF February %.
1917, as follows:
Pasteurizaticn is not intended TO
take the place of cleanliness and care
in the production OF milk, but to make
milk absolutely safe Il prolongs the

greatly reduced The death rate in
that city. which was formerly 230 per
thousand amongst children under five
years of age, has been reduced To 80

the fact that 90 per cent of the milk
consumed in New York City has been
