Korean students who go to Japan
o complete their education are adj
vised to attend trade or technical
schools, but are practically barred
from higher institutions of learning.
1t is almost impossible for a Korean
student to specialize in such subject
as law, history or economics at the
imperial university in Toxic, and no
Korean student is permitted to go to
Europe or America to complete his
education.
What argument can the Japanese
adduce to support their contention
against state regulation here in view
of the arbitrary and sweeping pro-
nunciamento of the Japanese govern
ment relative TO Korean educational
institutions?
Can they claim discrimination
against Japanese in Hawaii in the
light of the situation in Korea?
HIwaii wants schools that will Am
%ericanize our future citizens, not in
stitutions that will perpetuate mikado
worship nor lead the Hawaiian-born
Japanese youth to place the Japan.

Editor Maui News
Dear Sir:

japanese at Waikiki, on the 7th day
Of March, 1919, to discuss the foreign
School Bill now in the Legislature.
The Japanese Schools have never
O. against the education of Ameri-
can Citizenship. They are now help
ing towards ~Americanizing and will in
the future pay more attention towards
Americanizing the Japanese Children.
As we believe hat the Japanese
Schools will not interfere with the
education Of American Citizenship
We strongly oppose the passage of the
Foreign School Bill now pending in

The Man OF Ideals

The common criticism of President
Wilson, both at home and abroad, is
that he is an idealist, a mar who lives
In the clouds, a dreamer of dreams,
and hence a man whose dreams may
be discounted and neglected. Your
young men shall see visions, and your
old men shall dream dreams"-this is
to be the dawn of the Millennium.
The world is full of practical men,
men who fly low, and know all about
the obstacles and difficulties of flight,
and hit most of them; blessed is the
man of such broad range and high
flight that he overlooks a lot of the
obstacles, and sails above them.
The peace conference at Versailles
is full Of practical men, very wide
awake to practical issues, and very
inslstant on sectional interests. They
may be trusted to clip the wings of
any wild and erratic idealism. More
valuable, and more significant to the
interests of humanity and the world
at large, than all these practical men,
is the n master idealist, with the
wide range of vision and the large
faith in the possibilities and destinies
Of mankind; the man who can see be,
yond the immediate interests and ad.
vantages OF any race or class, and
work for the ultimate benefit of the
world.
The brakes of the practical are
very necessary, but after all the i'm,
pulse of the ideal that moves things
to that good which shall be the final
goal of ill-this is the essential and
indispensable factor of progress

Hawaii And Korea

Attention of those Japanese ele-
ments in Hawaii which are putting
forth vigorous opposition to the pro-
posed legislation whose aim is to
raise the Japanese language schools
TO American educational standards,
Is drawn to Japan's attitude toward
educational matters in Korea. In view
of the repressive methods of the i'm
Serial Japanese government to stamp
out all Korean nationalism in the
schools of Korea, the agitation OF the
Japanese in Hawaii comes with i'll
grace.
Japanese opposing the proposal to
require a knowledge Of English on the
part OF teachers and familiarity with
American ideals and institutions OF
democracy are raising the cry Of rae
ial discrimination and a systematic
campaign to abolish the Japanese
schools, which of course is not true.
Bishop ImamuTa Of the Buddhist
mission admits that the Japanese
Hongwanji mission controls the edu-
cation of Hawaiian-born Japanese
through the teaching of that religion
in the japanese schools; yet Japan
has issued a decree forbidding religi-
Gus services and the teaching OF his
tory or geography or the Korean
language in the schools OF Korea.
Furthermore as the New York
Times says in a special article devot-
ed to Japan's rule in Korea, the Jap
anese regulations provide hat all Ko-
rean schools shall be under the strict
supervision OF Japanese educators and
that the Korean children shall be
taught to salute the Japanese flag

Moral L.epers In Schools

II there are school principals and
school teachers who can't be trusted
with the handling of public money,
are they fit to serve as tutors to the
children and moulders of juvenile
ideals? If We are to raise our educa-
tiOIal standards we must have honest
men and women, honest in character
as well as principle. Moral leprosy is
just as contagious as the physical all
ment.-Star-Bulletin.

ENEMY PROPERTY
PAYS EXTREME
TAX ENALTIES

Washington, May 23 - Enemy
owned property valued at approx
mately $700,000,000 was taken over
by the alien property custodian's Of
flee during the sixteen months it was
directed by A. Mitchell Palmer, now
u. S. attorney general, according to
a report of that official covering
his tenure of office from his APP
pointment in October, 1917, to Feb.
ruary, 1919, inclusive.
The number of separate trusts be-
ing administered by the office at the
time the report was made was 1926,
with an aggregate value of $502 ,945,-
724.75. About 5000 of these cases
were covered by reports in which the
administration had not reached the
stage of valuation. 1t was estimated
that when the entire number of trusts
reported were opened on the books
and readjustment of values conse-
uent upon appraisal were completed,
the total Of enemy property in the
hands of the custodian would be $780,
100000.
The amount of government funds
expended during the sixteen months
was approximately $1,000,000 Thus
the cost of administering nearly 49,
coo trust estates Of total value of
$70OOO0,O00, located in every state
in the Union and in the insular pos
sessions, was only about one-seventh
of one per cent of the principal of
the trust estates for a period of six
teenth months, record of economi-
cal administration never approached
by any trust company in the world.

AMERICANIZE
L. S. MERCHANT
MARINE FLEET

Washington, May 23.-Hundreds of
discharged naval reserve officers and
men are entering the merchane ma
rine service, the United States Ship
ping Board reports. Having learned
to love life on the high seas while
in the naval service during the war,
the fact that the merchant marine
service affords opportunity for per-
manent employment, for travel to
every quarter of the globe, and for
liberal pay, is inducing them to en-
roll in the merchant marine service by
the hundreds.
From January, 1913. to April /,
this year, 30,G0l Americans entered
the merchant marine service. Of these
%, ,523 were accepted for training on
ships as apprentice sailors, foremen
and stewards. A majority of these
men were under 25 years.
In its free schools for merchant
marine officers, up to April the
Shipping Board had graduated 8,lO9
men, all Americans, in which number
deck officers and engineers we're
about equally represented. Merchant
captains are paid up to $4,000 year,
while chief engineers receive up to
$3,450.
Men in the service are in three clas-
sifications: Deck department, engine
room and stewards department. In
the deck department, pay ranges from
$40 month for deck boys and $55
ford ordinary seamen up to $50 per
month for carpenters. In the engine
rooms, coal passers and wipers ION
oil burners) are lowest paid, $65 per
Imperial Valley press., 1919-05-23

month, while oilers, water tenders and
engine-room storekeepers receive $50
per month. In the stewards depart
ment, pay ranges from $55 per month
for messboys up to $l45 for chief
stewards.

WORTH
MORE THAN 1T COSTS

81 would not take four times what
my testing work has cost me for
what it has been worth to me-" is
the way a Tennessee dairyman ex-
presses his appreciation of the bene-
fits he gained as a member of q cow
testing association which was organ
ized by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture in his commun-
ity.
"The COW which has proved to be
the best one in my herd was the one
that | considered poorest before the
tests were made. priced one of
my cows at 1925 before she was
tested, but now | price her at $3.50.
The test showed that the 19year-
old cow which this dairyman used
fer the folMdation cow of his heard
made SO pounds Of butterfat in No
vember. The average production fol
the herd during this month was over
40 pounds of butterfat.

GREATLY HANDICAPPED

In his sermon on education, at the
Presbyterian church Sun. night, Rev.
John GarretsOn declared that the fu-
ture Of the Nation is in the hands Of
the schoolmasters of America, and II
was that fact that builded the Ameri-
can youth so that he was willing to
60 overseas and fight a worlds OPP
pressor. Garretson declared emphat-
ically that the schools everywhere are
too greatly handicapped, and that the
teaching corps do their very best, with
the very best results, considering that
they are hampered and handicapped
by unwise Legislation and frequently
by politics. He advocated national
supervision Of schools, declaring that
state rights are now to blame for
much in the schools that should be
eliminated. He had q big crowd and
was given the closest attention.

excuse for increased rate demands
with 4 profit Of $160,1O6, after meet
ing all fixed charges and providing a
depreciation fund, usually neglected
by private utilities. The financial re-
port Of the city light and power plant
for 1918 was completed yesterday by
L. B. Holcomb, auditor, and approved
by L. H. Chapman, commissioners Of
water and lights.

THE L. NJ. PERKINS MUSEUM
Rev. o. l.. Orton

Mr.. L. NJ. Perkins, an old time resi-
dent of Baxter Springs, has one OF
the rarest collections of curios in the
country. Mr.. Perkins is 80 years old
and has wonderful retentive mind
for man of his age. 1t is a grand
treat to spend time with him. In his
day he has been world wide travel
er. In touring the various continents
he has collected many valuable relics,
Some of these can never be redupli-
Gated.
The collection ranges from prescious
old manuscripts to broken bits OF
brick from the palace of Ceaser Aug
ustus; odd specimens of shells from
inland seas and the great oceans;
Garments of Mandarians, Indian re-
gala and exquisite embroidery of the
women of Japan; fishes from fresh
and salt waters; animals Of the arctics
and tropics, and insects from East
lands; jewelry of the Egyptians and
from central Africa and other lines of
collections that interest curio lovers.
Baxter Springs should be very
proud and very much interested in
this valuable Museum. 1t would be
an attraction in any city.
If Mr.. Perkins would agree it would
be a fine thing for the youth of our
city if arrangements could be made
whereby this rare collection could find
permanent quarters in the New High
School Building.

LOST AND FOUND

Two children, q little girl about
thirteen years old and boy OF ten,
arrived at T. ]. Skidmore's Sun. even
ing and told story Of adventure that
was q credit to their inventive pow
ers unless it was really true.
They said they lived at Picher and
had started to 60 to Blue Mound about
mile from Picher, to stay with a
sister and see serial picture there at
the theatre in which they were inter-
ested. After they had walked short
way q man came along in an automo-
bile and asked them to ride. When
they got into the car he started of
and drove furiously until they came
to q sign which said Columbus, two
miles," He put them out and told
them to beat it to Columbus. They
said the man was drunk and that he
drove on east after leaving them.
Seeing q farm house in a distance
they decided to 60 there and arrived
at the Skinner home last evening.
Mr.. and Mrs. Skinner took them in
and questioned them as to where they
lived. They said they were the chill
dren of Chas. Roland, who worked in
No. 8 mine at Picher. Mr.. Skinner
called Marshall Elmer Albin and told
him about them being there and ar
ranged to keep them over night. This
morning Albin bought them tickets to
Baxter and called the chief Of Police
at Picher telling him to have the par
ents arrange for some one to meet the
children at Baxter.

and appeared perfectly able to take
care Of themselves. The little boy had
q package of cigarettes and after get
ting settled at Mr.. SINNERS he slip
ped of to the bath room for quiet
smoke, and was found pulling away
on a cigarette as if he had been twen-
ty years old instead Of ten.
He told Mr.. Albin that he knew q
lot of bootleggers in Picher and could
tell where they all kept their booze
if he wanted to. Albin said both chill
dren were as bright as they could be
but had evidently been allowed to do
about as they pleased.-Columbu Ad'
