COELHO FAYORS
TUITION Charge

William J. Coelho. employe In the
territorial land office and former
senator from Maui county, faNors a
plan OF charging tuition in all public
schools for children above the third
grade.
Coelho will make no effort to get
his suggestion before the legislators,
but he expresses the belief that SUI Q
a bill II passed would be OF much
value.
He would charge a minimum rate
of perhaps 81 for each child per
month. the money to go into the
school fund for the general building
up OF the school system. lie believes
that in most cases now the private
schools outstrip the public institutions
n actual teaching value.
Many citizens at the present time
are sending their children to private
Schools" says CoeIho. The public
schools are largely filled with children
Of non-citizens. Japanese patronize
the public schools to give their chill
dren English. but they also see to 1t
that those children go to private
Japanese schools. I believe that q
charge would keep them in the pub
lie schools alone and would make
better Americans Of them"

told me she would like for me to
go uptown and get some groceries
for the next day. We were going
to have company for dinner. So
got ready and went to get them.
When got back my mother told
me to open the parlor door, and as
stepped into the room there were

prised me very much, at first l
wondered what they were there for
and then | happened to think it

The Boy Who Did Not Mind

Once there was little boy who
wanted to go fishing. His mother
would not let him. But this little
boy ran way from home and went
anyway. When he was sitting on
the edge of the bank of the river
the earth caved in the water with
him. He got all wet. He went
home then and told his mother.
But his mother only said, Il told
you to stay home"
That evening his father came
home. His mother told his father
what he had done. His father gave
him whipping for not Winding his
mamma. And after that he never
ran away or went anywhere unless
he got permission from his parents.
