Still NEED $500
FOR Y. v. BUDGET

Lass than 500 must be collected w
the Y. W. c. 4. to complete the budG-
ct of $1,000 which was lLauned at
the beginning Of the campaign. 70
date the largest amount given by a
corporation was $3.50, which was cen
tribUtad by Alexander & Baldwin. OF
this amount 1869 is a yearly COntri|U-
ton, and $3.50 was given as a special
gift for this year.
Ii is not expected that the report
on the actual al cunt received will
be given out until the cad OF this week
as number of business firms who are
expected to contribute will mold di-
rectoTS' meetings late in the week. A
few campaign workers have been call
ing on some of the people who gave
last year but the teams have rracti-
cally given up the work on a large
scale.
The committee is not certain that
the full $4,000 will be raised by the
last of the week, but is confident that
by the end of the month the entire
amount asked for will be in the hands
Of the treasurer. The workers have
been tireless in their work and the
committee in charge has only pleasant
words for the help that has been
given by the members Of the associ1.
ton and their friends.

REPUBLICANS Of

Republican leaders on Oahu are
evidently asleep at the switch, &C.

not aspire to be leaders.
Under the party rules the county
committee should have called for

last week and the Nominations should
have been voted on next Saturday
The delegates thus elected should
make up the county committee and
county platform convention.
This is preliminary to the spring

no overt ACTS" YET, COMMITTED.

The absence-up to this writing-of amy over1
acts Of war on the part Germany, and the evident
intention of the United States exercise every
ceivabe forbearance in handling German subjects
and property in this country give ground for hoIf
that actual hostties may be arcrIed.
With this the reported Welding of the German
government the demand for the release OF Amer
lean sailors on the YaIrowdalc is Il ray of light
through couded sky. d.
IL WAS This formal demand which the United
States voiced in breaking diplomatic relations With
the German government. What effect the yielding
Of GermIpy on fhs point will have on the general
situation remains TO be seen. \ mere surrender Of
the Americans who taken To Swinemunde as
prisoners of war scarcely begins TO meet American
demands. But il is an indication that Germany
may meet those delnands--at least far enough To
prevent acts that would nccessitate declaration
OF war. @..".
Our chief demands of course. are moi for the sur
render Of the. American sailors On the Yarrowdale
They are thar Germany shall adhere to her pledges
against ruthless submarine warfare, and shall
adhere to other assurances safeguarding American
Nnd heritral rights on the seas.
Observers point out that even the wreckina Of the
machinery in German merchant ships here and the
burning OF dlp Geier very far from hostile acts
Ii doestnot Of course require imagination To show
that those acts potentially imperiled the safety of
the port. The fires might have gotten beyond con
troll; adjacent whaIves and nearby shipping endan
gered: possibly explosion from orerheated boilers
threatened No one outside the Germans has known
how far what was done menaced the port, nor what
else might be planned TO disable the ships or for
other purposes. ::. ~. " IT,"
As events SO far have turned out, the wrecking
was only partial and damage to other property
was doRe. Hence the superstition that the Germans
underwriters tseommit no acts of hostility even
while pntting their ships out of business for early
0pePatioIs- s-esass
The extreme care aud deliberation exercised by
all American officials here federal, territorial and
local--and their method of handling the German
crews and ships possibly indicates that their orders
from Washington are for the utmost crcumspectOn
in dealing with the situation.

THE BENEFITS or A SCHOOL
~. SURVEY

x
Honolulu, Hawaii, Feb. 2, 1917.
Editor Honolulu StarBhlletin. -
| Sir: In the last number of the ed
.ssiSatfbnsH fhasga me entitled, School
and Society,"" there is a very inter
esting article on the '''Fruits of School
Surveys" which might be of interest
to your readers I should advise any
one Interested in the subject to read
this article.
The article is Daseo upon letter
sent out to % superintendent in 10
ealities where surveys hadbeen made.
Eighteen replies we're received and the
author summarizes the benefits which
the superintendent felt were received
from the surveys. Some of the more
important of these were as follows:
1st. The interest Of the public was
aroused in the school systems and
in almost every case this resulted in
more adequate financial support for
buildings, equipment and teachers sal
aries. To quote from the article: 1T
is dawning upon school people that
the greatest function of the school sur
vey is to acquaint the community with
the status of its schools
End. The interest of the teachers
in their work was increased and the
schools became more efficient for that
reason. H..
3rd. The administrative control and
conduct of school business has been
greatly aided.
One statement in the article is of
particular interest: Even after the
needs of a school system have been
pointed out by the survey, the pro-
gram must be carried out very large
ly by other agencies than those that
made the investigation. These agen.
cies should come in for a few, IL not
for most, Of the credit for results. No
one can contend that survey fruits
will follow automatically upon recon-
meEdations without subsequent exren-
diture Of energy by school officers
and other members of the community
whose schools have been surveyed
but calling the attention Of the school
staff and the community to the school
needs of community in the striking,
convincing manner possible to the sur
yey, makes the school improvements
that follow" the fruits of the survey
The author declares from the re-
ports of these Is superintendent that
school surveys are emphatically JUS
Honolulu star-bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1912-2010, 1917-02-05

titled by the interest aroused and the
results which have come from them in
these communities. 1t must be re-
membered that many of these surveys
we're not federal surveys, and If the
results Of these surveys were worth
while how much more worth while
will be a federal survey.
Very truly yours,

Though the spectacular and exciting events Of
yesterday brought Honolulu to Il realizing sense of

or her stay because of fear that Hawaii is unsafe.
The possibility that German submarine will oper-

worry, and the possibility that such Il submarine
could interfere with transportation between here
and the mainland is still remOter. The possibility
that German activities locally will occasion any real
unpeasantness is even Feinoter than that. The
rumors and reports are exciting and at times
tiora but cause no inconvenience and hardly any

Indeed. this feassuring situation was realized on
Saturday almost as soon the first impulse to
hurry home arose, and the visitors quite universally
now preparing TO stay here and enjoy themselves
as they originally planned.
