THE WAR AND Mckinley HIGH SCHOOL.

Hawai's schools we'll deserve the recognition they

LEGISLATIVE ENCOURAGEMENT FOR
SCHOOL GARDENING.

Pending in the legislature now is an appropria
ton Of $4,000 for vocational work by the public
schools Of the territory The item will 90 10 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.
IL is to be hoped the house conferees will agree to
the additional II the 100000 is voted, the de
partment Of public instruction will have at its dis
pOsal a very muchneeded fund for encouraging the
school and home gardening of public school pupils.
In fact 1t is largely because of the need that
has arisen since the legislature met that the senate
agreed 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
advocating small payment to teachers who take
charge Of the gardening.
The resolution passed the house but has been laid
on the table in the senate several technical
for this action being offered 1t would be a simple
solution of what both houses are trying to do il e
senate should agree in principle with the Lyman
resolution and the house should agree to the 100000
item in conference for ont OF this $600Q0 the de.
paftmeut Of public instruction intends to pay teach
erx adequately for their special time and energy in
the schopl gardens
Fheresis no difference of opinion between the two
houses 1t is merely difference of method. Mr..
LYMAN resolution is eommeadaby directed toward
making 1t specific that teachers who give up their
few1hou1s OF spare time to personal work in develop
ing schopl and home gardening should receive a
small sum in addition to their salaries. The idea is
absolutely correct and the senate makes possible its
operation, in another way, by increasing the fund
out Of which these small sums may be taken.

REPRESENTING PUBLIC OPINION.


Once again the claim is made that the charter bill
as Il passed the legislature represents public opinion
On Oahu. That is utterly ridiculous. The charter
convention which launched the bill never represent
ed public opidlon 1t was elected at time of utter
public indifference to the ISSUE and ii speedily fell
into the handy bf little, active and politically I'M
serupulous faction Even that faction could NJ
muster a majority of the convention on the final
fote and had to put through trick in order to pass
the convention charter by minority-and in spite
Of repeated protests against other members who
were the victims 6f gagrue. When the charter bill
came up for public hearing in the house, political
fricksters had packed the hall of representatives

FOOD PREPAREDNESS TnE NATIONS FEED
(Popular Mechanics Magazine)

II = -
1t is becoming seriously apparent that Americans
must marshal their energies and utilize their re-
sources toward the production of food, With the
civilized world at war, waste must be curtailed and
supply increased. This means that unused ground
must be worked People in the cities feeling the
pressure of unprecedented prices To combat actual
want it is imperative that they modify their system
of living and become producers Back Yards, vacant
lots. and unoecupied tracts of land in outlying dis
tricts are available for cultivation. National Sc
curity demands that they be developed.
For two months the newspapers of the United
States as well as certain local and national organi
zatiQns have urged city garden plots The campaign
has not been for amusement or entertainment Ac-
tual need has prompted it, the department of agri-
culture has encouraged it, and far-sghted persons
have needed it. In France, Germany and England
public parks are being plowed. forest land cleared
and vacant areas planted. And yet there is hunger.
America with its vast territory have plenty. but
farming, both in the country and city must be pro-
NOTED in dead earnest.
In the present emergency food for the Allies is
important as food for ourselves. 1t must be pro-
duced, and every back yard and every fertile lot
made to thrive. t'
concrete illustration of what can be done is fur
nished by what has been done at Chicago in past
years through the endeayofs of the City Gardens
Association, phianthropic organization. The body
controls four tracts of ground in different parts of
the city and divides them into plots an eighth of an
acre in size. The little gardens are allotted to
needy men and women who are enterprising. The
soil is plowed seed is supplied the advice Of scienti
ic supervisors offered, for charge of only $150.
The rest of the expense is met by popular subscrp
ton. . -.

SHINGLE STATES
HOMESTEAD VIEW

Over the question of demonstrating
the Waiakea plantation lands, lively
argument waxed this morning in the
senate public lands committee when
Senator 5. l. Desha. arguing on house
bill Al. opposed the majority of the
committee. H.. -. IT,: ..t
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. ..... .-"= 49,
Shingles stand on the question is
voiced full in the following letter to
the chairman of the lands committee.
as follows:
Il approve Of bill somewhat On the
lines of that introduced by the Hon.
n. K. Lyman, but with the following
amendments:
"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
either side of Kilauea avenue. This
tract begins at the One Mile Post and
runs TO the Four Mile bridge, being
bounded on the makai side by the
lava flow, and on the mauka side run
ming in straight line approximately
parallel to the road at distance Of
three to four thousand feet. This re-
hnquishment should take effect on
June 1, 1917, subject, however, to the
harvesting by the company Of the big
cane for the 1918 crop now standing
on the land. ...- 49,. -:
"Second-This tract of 1000 acres
shall be used (a), for providing ad'
jacent to the road, house lots for Hilo
suited to their needs; (b) as to the re-
mainder, for distribution as home
steads in accordance with the law.
"Third-That in consideration Of the
REIMBURSEMENT by the Waiakea Mill
Company of the tract on, June l, 1917,
an application to lease the remainder
of the cultivated area on the planta-
ton (about $500 acres) for a period
of Is years from June l, 1918, shall be
received from the company at an up
set rental of S. per acre, the lease to
be put up to auction at that figure and
to be of the usual form under the law.
Il recommend that the committee
should favor the passing of the bill as
introduced, with the above amend
ments. 49,. ..-...
Il am not in favor of including In
this bill any reference to rights OF
way for railroad or to camp sites, for
believe that these are matters which
should be left In the hands of the
board of land commissioners. t.s@
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
homesteading these lands is being
carried out. / am therefore in favor
Of a bin drafted On the lines above
noted. -, Z.

play politics with moral measure? Is the intelli-
