Some of the promoters of wildcat oil and mining stocks, who con-
tlnue advertising their shady propositions in the Islands, right upon
The eve OF the meeting of the legislature, are either lacking in dscre-
ton or have an Astounding confidence that the talk of a territorial
bue-sky law will never amount to anything more than talk. If the
lawmakers have the welfare of the territory at heart, however, they
will take steps to protect our sucker element and at the same time keep
in the Islands the hundreds of thousands of dollars which the sharks
annually get away with.

Mr.. Kramer pointed out that
Washington has no appropriation
specifically for this purpose. and
that for this reason II Is practically
impossible 70 obtain teachers to act
while regular instructors were alb
sent through sickness or other
cause.
Up to Teachers.
Teachers forced to quit their duties
temporarily are compelled to obtain a
substitute for the class they have
left and pay them out OF their own
salary. If no substitute is provided
the teacher must forfeit her pay for
the time she Is absent. 1t Is said.
This has led to instances where
school children have acted as sub.
stitutes for a considerable length OF
time. necessarily away from their
studies.
Assistant Superintendent Kramer
said last night that 1t was unfortu.

that means for relief are being urged
on Congress. He stated that when
children had been placed over classes
they were always under the supervi-
