BY Associated Press.

| BY Associated Press.
| Boston, Nov. 30.-Charles Ponzi
promoter OF the get-rich- quick
scheme in which thousands OF per-
sons invested millions of dollars be-
fore it collapsed last June. pleaded
guilty to using the mails ina scheme
to defraud in the federal district
court today.
Sentence of five years in the Ply
mouth county jail was imposed by
Judge Hale. The court took into con-
sideration only the first count OF one
Indictment of forty-four counts in
which was charged that Ponzi had
represented falsely that he was able
TO pay interest at the rate OF so per
cent in forty-five days from profits
made In international postal reply
coupons.
In arguing on the question Of SEN
tence Daniel n. Coakley, senior
! counsel for Ponzi, told the court that
| it, was only after advice from coun-
sci and members of the discredited
fInancier's family that he agreed to
Ijretract his plea of not guilty and
| plead guilty instead.
Mr.. Ponzi insisted. and still in
sists, that there was in his mind no
1ntent to defraud any one." his coun-
| sci declared!
The little Italian who, with prison
sentence in Canada and this country
! behind him, developed his supposed
scheme Of exchange to proportions
that made him a marked figure In
| finance, had an air of swagger when
! he faced the court He was the same
dapper an-about-town when he
stepped from the Cambridge iail this
morning as in the days when he was
the idol of the street crowd. A new
| tailored suit, smart cravat handker-
chief in crease in pocket, ankles
adorned with spats, made Ponzi
again man Of presence.
AS he faced another long prison
sentence while his youthful wife
sobbed on his shoulder he pen
ciled on a memorandum book his
parting word to the public:
4 Sic Transit Gloria Mundi" (Thus
passes the glory OF the world). and
| handed it to the press.

THE ATTRACTIVE ScHooLRooM
By Vaughan Mace aughey.

By Vaughan MacCaughey.
In my visits to schools in various
parts of the Territory, | have been
particularly impressed by the large
number of attractive schoolrooms. l
am referring now to the pictures, de-
corations and other ornaments pre-
pared by the teachers and pupils them
selves. In some rooms all of the pic
lures are framed in mountings of
wood, lauhala, cardboard, etc, that the
pupils themselves have made, Cabinets
of natural history objects occur in
other rooms. Home-like curtains at
the windows, made and stencilled by
the girls, often give the room a cheer
full atmosphere. Pictures and friezes
upon the upper portions of the black
board, in colored chalk, are noted here
and there. Some rooms take pride in
exhibiting their primary handwork,
paper modelling, and colored maps. OF
special note are the many pictures,
cut from magazines, representing
great Americans and great scenes in
American history. Charts of animals,
birds, flowers, and agricultural sub
jects are also perennial sources Of in
terest.
Hawaii can well be proud of her
many attractive schoolrooms. The
schoolroom is the intellectual cradle
of Hawaii's future. The atmosphere
of joy, of cheerful homelikeness, of
spontaneous activity, is a school
rooms greatest asset. This means
happiness and good schoolwork.
