Standardization of STATE
Schools is Dr.. Wagner's Idea

DR. Charles A. Wagner. Commits.
sioner OF Education. discussing IAN
Incidental Advantage Of Adopting A
Scale Of Standardization OF schools.
says:
"The FIRST benefit Of adopting such
a standard is. Of course that a few
schools will be brought up TO stand
ard requirements 40 once. and In
those schools the children will have
ideally favorable conditions and cir
cumstances for school work. A second
and closely following result will be
that In many other schools Efforts
will be started to change old and un-
satisfactory conditions 10 make them
conform TO standard requirements.
Perhaps few schools viii entirely
miss all benefits from the publication
of these requirements. Consciously in
most places. Nut also unconsciously IN
many other places. when changes or
improvements must be made, the
standard requirement Is not in item

generally even where there Is no at
tempt 10 reach full conformity with
standard requirements. Standard re-
Quirements will become fashionable
in Delaware schools. and then Will
be universally prevalent like straw

Queens Hospital Troubles

With a regularity almost equal to the certainty
of spells Of measles and humps running through
the community, the Queens Hospital affairs come
before the people for an airing.
The Star-Bulletin is not acquainted with the
facts in the particular incident subject to spe-
ca investigation. 1t voices at this time only feel
ing of regret. which is believed to be general that
this institution of such value and such broad oppOr
tunity for service is unable to avoid catawall up
heavals.
Speaking generally, the Queens Hospital is not
up to the standard that should characterize a gen
eral hospital in city of the size and wealth of
Honolulu. Also the Queens Hospital does more
with less money than any similar institution of
which records are given.
Those who wondered that Honolulu could exist
so long without ambulance and an emergency
hospital equally surprised when they learn that
the Queens Hospital is forced to worry along from
year to year with hardly enough funds to carry it
through. Add to this the old buildings and physical
arrangement typical of the old Honolulu houses
that grew through the addition of lanai here and
another there, and you have some idea of the handi
caps under which the hospital has struggled in
maintaining it's excellent record for the care and
cure of patients.
Judging from the record the Queens Hospital
appears to be all right. The trouble is with the
community that does not rally valantly in provid-
ing that which is required for proper development
Perhaps the Queens Hospital needs more or 9th
er men to run it. That may be left to the trustees
to determine OF one fact you may rest assured,
the hospital needs more money to enable it to fill
the natural field of general hospital in the city
Of Honolulu.

promotion Committee Business

Chairman Berndt is right The Hawaii Promo
ton Committee ought to be more intimately con-
nected with the organization OF the Chamoer OF
Commerce. The secretary Of the Chamber of Com
merce is the logical business manager Of the Pro
motion Committee, having under his direction a
staff made up Of individuals who can specialize IN
various activities for the development OF tourist
service.
To carry out this logical program, other logical
details should be included.
The Chamber of Commerce rooms and the Pro
motion Committee headquarters should be under the
same roof Those headquarters should be located
in spacious rooms on the ground floor of build
ing centrally located
Honolulu as a city bidding for the tourist busl-
ness Of the world should have its active agents OF
general tourist promotion housed in OF the most
modern buildings of the city. II city does not
think we'll of and dignity it's own business no one
else will.
The same principle should apply to the Promo
ton Committee that has been the guiding force be-
hind the improvements in the Office buildings, the
banks the present renovation Of the mercantile cen
ter on Fort street. the changes on Nuuanu street
and the type of new buildings North King street.
The reason for these changes is that it il good bust
to live and do your business and welcome your
customers in clean, modern, we'll equipped spacious
quarters.
Some day the Chamber of Commerce will actu-
ally emerge from it's shell and then besides talking
about ideals and possibilities it will in fact be the
broad live energiZing and driving force in the cen
ter Of developing business that horoscope OF its
mission in life should show.
These things cannot be accomplished in day
but every move toward the completion Of such a
program is another point gained for Honolulu as
city of business prosperity, comfortable homes,
contented people and splendid ideals come true.
That sort of work is worth the while of any man
who can find in his system a spark Of loyalty for
his city.

TO SAVE UsEFU1LY.

How to save usefully and how to buy wisely are
the great problems of the hour. You can get all
kinds of opinions from all kinds of men, but in the
final show down you must decide for yourself.
In line with helping you reach the decision, a
writer In a recent number of the Saturday Evening
Post gives lift that may be timely to anyone not
absolutely sure of his own mind This writer says:
One Of my friends was the secretary of the treas
ury in panic year. He managed the government
finances admirably and rendered great help to bust
ness in its time of need. He was overwhelmed with
coneratulatons after the crisis had passed l ven
fured to &dd mine to the food, and, at the same
time, took advantage of our relations to ask him
frankly where he had acquired the skill and the
knowledge..of finance he had so abundantly dis
played Prior to coming to the treasury he had
had no financial experience. Said he:
cit requires no more skill and no more sense to
expend two hundred million dollars Evidently and
wisely than it does to expend two dollars, once you
have clearly grasped the principle on which the ex-
penditure is based. have lived and maintained
my family all my working life on saIary-usually
q small one My wife and have had to count our
pennies. In the school Of experience learned to
apportion my small income to the best advantage
and with the smallest waste.
'sThe problem faced when this panic came upon

of my married life, when sat down with my wife
to 60 over our domestic accounts and determine
how much of my salary could be devoted to house.

children, how much to the entertainments was re-
quired to give, and how much to saving 1 never
had enough to allow any for frivolity and waste
HDuring these months of panic have conducted
the treasury finances on the same principle; and I
have proved what I knew-that there is no essen
tial difference between spending hundred million
dollars and dollar"
That, think, is the lesson businessmen seek to
make clear to all of us at this juncture. To be
Economical is good economics.

NATIONAL GUARD DUTY.

One truth is accepted as sef-evident in all mat.
tiers having to do with the relation of an American
citizen to his country-he wishes to be assigned to
the place and the work where he can do the
good.
The judge of mans value must be the officials
in control; the managers Of the task immediately
in hand.
Whether it is pleasant not, the path of patri-
otlsm may lead to period of inactivity If so, the
duty Of the individual is just as definite as it would
be If he were summoned to lead charge and die
CALAMITY on the field of battle
These sentiments are wholesome truths that need
be considered in the days we are now living through
They are brought especially to mind by the charac-
ter of the appeals sent by the National Guard of
Hawaii to the authorities in Washington asking
that our organization be called Immediately into
active service
The spirit of readiness for any duty evidenced
by an expressed desire to move to the front is
worthy of all commentator. One can forgive the
restless chatting at restraint.
But suppose you can best perform a service for
the country by remaining just as you are, always
alert, always ready always prepared and always
preparing?
Isn't that the thing for you to do? And while
doing 1t work hard and keep quiet?
The question answers itself There is work for
the National Guard of Hawaii to do. Lots of it,
The citizen soldiers must not think that failure to
call them Immediately into intensive service is the
signal to sit on the fence and do nothing till the
call is sounded. In few weeks the guard in Ha-
waii may be the only guard unit not in the federal
service. If this proves true the duty of the officers
and the rank and file of the guard is to enter with
renewed vigor into the work of perfectng every
single detail of the personnel equipment, individual
and collective efficiency.
That is the job on hand for the National Guard
Just plain drilling, day and night drilling the old
time routine intensified at every point where inten
sifcation will put officers and men in better cond
ton to fall into line at moments notice
1t may be tresOme. 1t may be unromantic 1t
may be drudgery and seem foolish to the guards
man who wants to do something. But this is duty.
Where is the American not ready to do his duty?
IT, after all this work the guardsmen are not call
ed upon to 60 to France or to be numbered as reg
uars at any stage of the game they still have the
greatest satisfaction that be enjoyed by any
American-the knowledge and the record that they
were ready for any service and they did the work
laid out for them by the officers of their govern
ment-and did it willingly.
So let's not indulge in any hystera about not BE-
ing appreciated but settle down vigorously to fol,
lowing orders
