GIRL IS KILLED
ABOVE HANAPEPE

a little Chinese girl named All
Gncw, aged II, daughter of one
Dang Chce, living mauka of Hama
pepe, was shot and killed between
4 and 5 O'Clock Saturday afternoon
by Portuguese boy, aged about Is,
named Manuel Costa, a resident of
the Kalahco district.
Costa was sitting down on a hill
lock between two rice patches when
three girls came along. While talk
ing with the girls he was handling
the gun, which went off, and little
All Gnew dropped. The other two
girls corroborated the theory that
the shooting was accidental.
The accident was an unusual one
and Deputy Sheriff Crowell, of Wal
mea, is making a most thorough
investigation. As far as has thus
been brought out, however, the facts
are substantially as above stated.

Mr.. Avery's Paper
EDITOR GARDEN ISLAND:

EDITOR GARDEN ISLAND:
We would most heartily commend
the high ethical quality Of the paper
read by Mr.. Avery at the Teachers
Convention at Waimea. In the
struggle for intellectual efficiency
in our schools, we are apt to forget
that, after all, character is the end
of all education, and where it is
wanting in the teacher it is apt to
be wanting in the pupil.
We would also commend Mr..
Avery's contention that the duty of
the teacher does not cease with the
Threshold of the school room, but
that she should be an important
factor of the community life. The
intelligent teacher has had the bene-
fit of advantages and endowment
above the average, and she should
not hide her talents under buShel.
In this connection we are glad to
bear witness to the fact that in
many instances she does not. We
have in our midst many teachers
who are graciously responsive to
every call, and who add very much
to the interest and enjoyment of
life, and we are very grateful to
them for their generous contrbu-
ton to the social welfare. If there
are some of whom these pleasant
words cannot be spoken, we would
commend to them the good example
of their ncighbors and bid them go
and do likewise.

ONE BOARD FOR
THE TERRITORY

The Accident Board of Maui has
figured out that one board can do
the work Of the entire Territory and
will recommend to the Cove rnor tn; I
the Legislature abolish all the other
boards and have the one board take
care of all BUSINESS. OF the matter
the Maui News say:
If the recommendation of the
Maui Industrial Accident Board is
followed, the coming legislature will
so amend the workmcn's : cOmpcnsa-
ton law of the Territory so that
one board will handle the work
which is now handled independents
ly by the several county boards.
The Maui board held meeting
last Monday morning at which this
and various other changes in the
law were suggested. The board be-
licves that the work could be better
administered by a single body de-
voting most of their time to the
work, and with paid clerks on each
of the islands. The board also urges.
that uniform form of policy be
prescribed for insurance companies
desiring to do business under the
act. 1t would also have the COM
panies required to furnish insurance
to small employers at much lower
minimum than the present SO rate.
Want A Territorial Insurance
Department
The Maui board is also strong for
a territorial insurance bureau, to be
administered on business lines, but
designed to furnish compensation
insurance at as low a rate as posi-
ble to those required to carry it.
The board does not believe that
such territorial board should eXer-
else a monopoly Of this class of in
surance, but that it should serve
rather as a check upon the indie
pendent companies.
Various other recommendations
are also to be made in the report
soon to go forward to the Governor.
Among these clearer definition Of a
lahorer entitled to compensation,
should be given in order to avoid
disputes. The fact that the $50

TELLS OF
SCHOOL CONTEST

II. Fl. Brodic, principal of Elccle
school, has written the following
letter concerning school garden work
at his place:
We took a piece of the school
yard that has been into trees for
eight or nine years and the pupils
dug up some 100 trees. 1t was hard
work, but | had to do no driving.
We have nearly an acre. Later
will have a pupil make a drawing
of the plan of the grounds.
Every boy in the fifth, sixth,
seventh and eigth grades (nearly
100), has a piece of garden for him
self and it is a good-sized piece The
eighth grade has a piece about 3Ox25
feet.
The Interest.
have been in the work of teach
ing for 30 years, but | had no idea
of the interest children take in this
matter. | came out one day at
little recess and counted SO pupils
on the garden grounds; at noon of
the same day | counted 80. They
formed a regular mob when issued
seeds. No child must step on an
others bed or in any way interfere
with it.
Policy for Shape Of Beds-What to Plant and
Irrigation.
| was not just pleased with the
way they formed their beds. |
wanted them formed for sub-irriga-
ton and took them down to observe
Mr.. Creevcy's beds. which were
formed in inverted "V" shaped
ridges. They said, "No good; you
Just wait till we have real hard
rain, it will wash the ridges down
and wash the plants out. u" | saw
their reasoning. So | am giving
them almost an absolutely free
hand. When results mature | will
call their attention to the failure or
success or why. \ number want
to plant muskmelons. They will
do nothing. But let them go to it.
Their failure will teach them more

Academic Part.
Every pupil in the grade must
write results or observations. This
forms the basis of our composition
work.

Bombing Hospitals

w HEN German airmen first began drop
w ping dynamite upon allied hospitals in
France, 1t was charitable to assume that they
were unaware of the target beEeath them;
that they supposed they were attacking mill
tary depots, and that they had been unable
to find the Red Cross signals indicating the
presence Of sick and wounded men.
But these assaults from above have per-
sisted. Not once or twice or even three
times has the brutality Of such warfare been
exhibited. but again and again and again the
flyers have. with apparent elaboration.
bombed hospitals This leads to the in
evitable conclusion that new form of ter
rorism has been devised by the German
forces A new means Of murder has been
discovered and is being employed with all
possible effect. French commanders have
acted wisely, therefore, in sheltering German
prisoners of war in all military HOSPITALS.
This may seem cruel toward the prisoners

day they may be called upon by their sur
ViVlng countrymen to pay precious urice
for their barbarity. We have wished. for

the stories which have come across the water
of German atrocities. We felt this way when
the nrst Belgian cries OF agony went up We
chung desperately to the hope that other tales
were exaggerated when the French women
IN invaded territory poured out their story
OF rape and rapine. But when the Lusitania
was sunk. our faith began to fade, and now
we know that we are engaged in war with
the most ruthless and heartless military ma
chine Christendom has ever known. The
bombing of hospitals. of course, can have no
military value to Germany. Nor can the air

mer resorts. These things are simply part
