FROM PRESIDENT WILSON,:
A LETTER TO TEACHERS IN
HAWAII. r.. -.

The White House, Washington.
The war is bringing to the minds
of our people new appreciation OF
the problems of national life and q
deeper understanding of the meaning
and aims of democracy. Matters
which heretofore have seemed COM
monplaee and trivial are seen In
truer light. The urgent demand for
the production and proper distribu-
ton of food and other national re-
sources has made US aware OF the
close dependence of individual and
nation on nation. The effort to keep
I'D social industrial organizations In
spite of the withdrawal Of men for
the army has revealed the extent to
which modern life has become COM
pick and specialized. -.
These and other lessons OF the war
must be learned quickly If we are
intelligently and successfully to de-
fend our institutions. When the war
is over we must apply the wisdom
which we have acquired in purging
and ennobling the life of the world
In these vital tasks of acquiring a
broader view of human possibilities
the common school must have large
part. / urge that teachers and other
school officers increase materially
the time and attention devoted to in
struction bearing directly on the
problems of community and national
life. . -
Such plea is in no way foreign to
the spirit of American public educa-
ton or of existing practises. Nor Is
1t a plea for temporary enlarge
ment of the school program appro.
pirate merely to the period OF the
war. It is a plea for a realization In
public education of the new emphasis
which the war has given to the ideals
of democracy and to the broader con-
ceptions of national life.
In order that there may be definite
material at hand with which the
schools may at once expand their
teaching ] have asked Mr.. Hoover
and Commissioner Claxton to orga-
nize the proper agencies for the pre-
paration and distribution Of suitable
lessons for the elementary grades
and for the high-school classes. Les
sons thus suggested will serve the
double purpose of illustrating in a
concrete way what can be under
taken in the schools and of stimula-
tirg teachers in all parts Of the coun-
try to formulate new appropriate ma
terials drawn directly from the com.
munities in which they live.
Sincerely yours,
WOODROW WILSON.

TEAcHERs AND PUBLIC HEALTH

TEACHERS AND PUBLIC HEALTH
Teachers in the elementary and
secondary schools of Hawaii, partlcu-
larly in the public schools, have a
peculiar and unacceptable RESPONSE
bility in the matter of public health.
They have exceptional opportunities
for drilling those who are to be the
citizens and homemakers OF the next
generation In the fundamentals OF
sanitation.
The literature on the subject or
public health is very large, and mucn
of it is not available or adapted for
use in the grades. However, several
of the state departments OF health,
Of which New York state Is a nota-
BILE example, have Issued circulars

THE PROPER SPIRIT

The success of any nation at war depends upon the patriotism loyalty ana service of its subjects It depends upon the efforts of each individual bound in united action with common purpose and for a common end.
 Such patriotism as was displayed at Sundays mass meeting shows the throb of the nations heart Our na- tionaI life and honor would cease to exist without it.
 To the veterans of the Spanish-American war, who have been tried and found true, must go the credit for awakening the patriotism of Seward to expression And to them must go the compliment for their quick reaza tion and response to duty.
 The formation of public safety and defense com- mtee is master stroke in local preparation and if the success of the committee must depend upon the patriotism of the people of Seward its efforts cannot fail

A ROTHSCHILD TO THE
RESCUE.

The discontinue of the Board
of Deputies of British Jews is a
first-class incident in modern Jew
ish history. In some ways, it paral-
lels what happened at the Hotel
Savoy, New York, on December
10Th last. New forces have come
to play their part in Anglo-Jewish
history, and they are new forces
even though they were assembled
under the leadership of Roths-
child. The Board of Deputies has
behind it some real history and
much tradition. Lawyers of stand
ing have always guided it's for
tunes. It has the prestige of an old
charter and on paper, it always
was representative body. In prac-
tise it was close corporation
very ponderous and most precise.
It's power was in resistance, not in
action, except in small matters.
David Lionel Alexander, R. c.,
it's president, has held office for
about twenty years. He is an old
man and must have been out OF
touch with the current events that
stir Jewry. But age was not the
cause of his retrogressive attitude,

LIEUTENANT ENDEL'S PRO.
MOTION.

The list of promotions made by
President Wilson in the army and
navy contains two Jewish names,
those of Jacob Jacobowitz, who was
promoted from clerk to Second Ju-
nior Lieutenant, and Sol Endel, who
was elevated to the rank of Senior
Lieutenant of the Navy, which title
corresponds to the rank of Captain
in the Army. The promotion of
these two young men is in itself
not sufficiently significant perhaps
to justify comment. But in the
light of EndePs career, his promo
tion assumes an aspect of import
ance.
Endel is young man of thirty.
He was born in Sealy, Texas, and
educated at Brennan, Texas, where
he graduated with high honors
from the local high school and won
a scholarship to the State Univer-
sity. His uncle is Major Abe Har
rison, of Beaumont, Texas, who
commanded regiment in the
Spanish-American war. Shortly
after his graduation from high
school, EndePs family removed to
Lake Charles, La, and Sol received
