overthought work, the examining ne
cessary to pass the examinations. No
one has laid the blame vnur. part
of it certainly belongs, The general
public-the parents of the pupils. 1t
is evident that the schools cannot be-
gin to educate a pupil before he en-
ters school, nor can his lack of educa-
ton be laid to the school, after he
has left it. Under ideal conditions,
the school has nine years in which
TO get a pupil through nine years of
work-the W. years necessary to
V the work of the first grade. and
the seven necessary for the other
seven years work. Unfortunately
these ideal conditions seldom prevail.
Since the school population is in
creasing at the rate of about 1900
a year, we should naturally expect to
find the number at the age of six,
much greater than the number at
seven; the number at seven in like
manner should be far in excess of
that of eight years Of age. AS a mat
ter of fact, however, the enrolment
of pupils seven years old is often found
to be less even than that at eight,
and the enrolment at six far below
that at seven. In December, last,
the figures were 1905 enrolled at six
and 4477 enrolled at seven. In other
words, the law is evaded by hundreds
of parents each year, and the natural
result, r~etardation of pupils, is laid
at the door of the teacher.
More Boys Than Girls
Nor is this the whole story. Hun
dreds of japanese children come to
this territory every year, who have
who are utterly deficient in the use
of the English language. These find
their way into our first grades at the
age of from ten to fifteen, and swell
the rolls of the apparently retarded.
Maui's enrolment of first graders
shows 4, Is years old; IA at IA years;
II at 10; "a at ~; A at IL; 1O6 at
10. Many of these are recruited from
the class of the Japanese immigrants
just mentioned, others are pupils who
have been kept at home as baby
tenders. Right here it might be not
ed that Maui has over 200 less girls
than boys in her schools, while the
discrepancy for the Territory is near
ly 2000. On Maui, at least, it is
mostly the japanese who keep their
girls at home. l have a, mental pic
ture of 200 girls, each with a baby
strapped on her back.
But it is not only at the intake that
the water is lost; there are leaks all
along the line. In 1910, Maui had
3SS pupils at the age of seven Eight
years later, at the age of Is, this
class had dwindled to 17S. In 1912,
the Territory had 317J pupils at the
age of eight. Six years later, this
identical class could muster but 24O1,
though not one could have been re-
leased, legally, during that period.
Thanks to the good work of our
Police Department, our attendance of
those on the roll, is excellent. But
the old recipe for making rabbit stew
which begins, First catch your rab-
bit" applies to conditions on other
Islands as well as Maui, and until the
cook if there is no stew.

lion miners in the United States more

and have been instrumental in saving
many lives in and around mines. It
Is said to be frequent occurrence for
hospital surgeons upon receiving an
injured miner to declare that the first
aid treatment received in the mine
from the miners had undoubtedly
saved the mans life.
These first-aid teams are scattered
throughout the United States where
mines are found, and are the results
of the pioneer work of the bureau of

Ice covered with salt. This was

covered with asbestos was employed
to lead the cold air into the tank.

the walls and then I felt the level of

it came over my head. The tank was

In Home.

Washington.-Dr. Alexander Ora
ham Bell, inventor of the telephone,
has found a way to cool house and
make it comfortable on the hottest day
of the year. Recently while other
Washington people were sweltering he
worked in room which had been
cooled to 65 degrees His plan, which
can be used by anybody, is to store Ice
in the garnet and conduct the cooler
air to rooms below.
Explaining his discovery to the Ma
tional Geographic society, Doctor Bell
declared: "You heat your house IN
winter, why not cool it in summer?
We get up to the arctic regions and
heat our houses and live. We 60 down
to the tropics and die.
II have found one radical defect in
the construction of our houses that
absolutely precludes the possibility of
cooling them to any great degree. You
will readily understand the difficulty
when you remember that cold air is
heavier than warm air. You can take
q bucket CT cold air, for example, and
carry it about in the summer time and
not spill drop, but if you make hole
in the bottom of the bucket, of course
the cold air will ali run out.
His Tank-Room Felt Cool.
Il began to think that it might be
possible to apply the bucket principle
at least to one room in my Washing
ton home and thus get a place of re-
treat in the summer time. 1t seemed
to be advisable to close up all open
ings near the bottom of the room to
prevent the escape of cold air. and
open the windows at the top to let
out the heated air of the room.
"Now 1t so happens that 1 have in
the basement of my house a swim
ming tank and it occurred to me that
since this tank holds water it should
certainly hold cold air. So 1 turned
the water out and made q room Of it.
The. tank seemed to be damp and the
sides felt wet and slippery.
IT reflected, however. that the con-
densation Of moisture resulted from
the fact that the sides Of the tank
were cooler than the air admitted.
Water vapor will not conGense on
ANYTHING that Is warmer than itself,
and it occurred to me that If l intro
duced air that was much colder than
wanted to use, then it would be
warming up in the tank and becom-
ing dryer all the time. 1t would not
deposit moisture on the sides and
would actually absorb the moisture
there.

Chicago, July -. - Eleven We're
killed and twenty seven injured when
gigantic dirigible on its test flight
caught fire and fell 800 feet, crashing
through the glass roof of the Illinois
Trust and Savings Bank. Most of the
dead We're employees of the bank,
trapped and burned to death in a with
erlng rain of fire caused by the ex-
plosion of the balloons gasoline tanks
as they hit the floor of the rOtunda
of the bank, where more than 200
boOkkeepers and clerks, nearly all
girls, were working.
The "blimp" had been flying in the
sky above the loop for several hours
when the accident occurred
When approximately 800 feet above
the bank n squirt of flame was seen
to shoot from the top of the gas bag
near the center of the aircraft. The
crowds gathered on the street to

with a crash audible throughout the

1t seemed. according to the surviv-
orS, that the entire bank was on fire.
Breaking through the iron supports
holding the glass overhead, the fusi-
lage of the blimp with two heavy rO-
tary engines and several gasoline
tanks smashed to the floor.
Instantly the tanks exploded, scat

feet. \ panic cnsued. There were
only two exits through which they
could leave the wire cage which sur
rounded the rOtunda.
Girls on the second floor ran scream
ing to the windows and several jumped
to the street below
In an instant the marble rotundn
was cleared, except for the dead,
whose bodies were buried under the
flaming mass licked to a white heat
by the gasoline blaze, and the dying
who crawled feebly away from the
burning off.
The intense heat made rescue work
impossible until after the fire depart
ment arrived 1t was thirty minutes
before the bodies under the crafts s
fusllage could be dragged out. They
were burned beyond recognition.
Meanwhile ambulanceS from every
hospital and undertaking establish
ment near the loop came and the po-
lice threw Gordon about the place.
Dozens were found to have been more
or less seriously cut by the shower
of glass which preceded the explosion.
The rescue work was watched by Il
crowd of 10000 on LaSalle street and

buildings near by.
