GAS EXTENSION
MOVE TONIGHT
South Shore Protective Assn.
to Meet Tonight at Prince
Bay

TOTTENVILLE, Aug. 1.-The ex-
tension of gas to the fifth ward of
the borough of Richmond VIII be
n of the principal matters IL
come before the next meeting of the
South Shore Protective Association
to be held tonight at the Prince Bay
country club house in Prince Bay.
This question has been before the
people of the South Shore for the
past several years and it is believed
that the time is now ripe for the eX-
tension of mains to this end of trc
island. The matter is one of great
importance just at this time VIXEN Il
coal shortage is apparent in view OF
the fact of so many coal strikes
throughout the country. With the
extension of gas in many cases this
could be warded off by the ins.alla-
ton of gas in houses for heating and
cooking purposes.
The fifth ward has been promised
gas for so many times they have
come to look upon the matter now
with much the same way of other
improvements that should come IL
this end of the island and they do
not get. William j. Walsh. presi-
den of the New York and Richmond
Gas Company, which supplies the
north and east shores of the ISLAM
has promised 70 be at the meeting
to enlighten the members with re-
gard to the situation.
h smoke nuisance together with
other important matters are Expected
to come up for action at the meeting.
Augustus G.. Marscher, president,
will preside and the report of the
various committees named at recent
meetings will be heard. A fu.l at
tendance of the members is desired
and new members are asked to en-
roll themselves in the association.

AMERICA HAS WELL
 EDUCATED LEADERS
No Place in World Provides
 Better Training

Boston, July If opportunities for training leaders were a sufficient guarantee of the safety of the state, Americans would be living in politi- cal millennium, pr. James E. Russell dean of Teachers College, Columbia
 university said in an address last night before the National Education association.
 Nowhere else in the world is pro- vision made for so many aspiring can didates for leadership or for so many different kinds of leaders, Dr. Rus sell said. "Coincident with the extra ordinary increase in the past few years of those seeking higher education is increasing distrust of the integrity and unselhshness of those best equipped to lead, In fact, expertness in techni- cal lines is no longer synonymous with leadership in professional service. If to the broader culture and more scientific knowledge now demanded by those schools is added the spirit of patriotic service, the professional schools of America will have done their full duty.
 From our standpoint we see in the German system of education and it's logical outcome in the war, horrible example of what not to do, but we must be impressed by the fact tTAt Germany has demonstrated that a vast population can be molded by educa- ton into the likeness of an ideal, even if that ideal when realized, turns out to be, not a God but a golden calf.
 What German teachers have done American teachers can do We can set up an ideal characteristically American. and we can realize it if the public will give Us the necessary SUD- port. Not blind obedience but volun- tary cooperation shall be our watch word We shall seek contentment through intelligent exercises of our individual talents, and find happiness in the possession of our own attain ments I grant that our problem is infinitely more difficult than the one submitted to German teachers. It IS far easier to queneh ambitions than to rouse them and direct them aright | Never before has a nation been found ed on the proposition that all men are created equal. and nowhere in his tory has intelligent elf-direction been set us as national ideal of educa- tion
 The need for an intelligent cleo torate goes far beyond the choice of political leaders My view is that the right spirit comes from enlightened public opinion that voluntarily choos- es to follow expert guidance in every phase of life Confidence in the in tegrity and unselhshness Of leaders is the first essential in the democratic program of social reform.
 The maintenance of civil order and social security logically preeedes the rise of leaders. Population is shifting from the country to the city Elbow room is growing less. Every year makes it harder for some to

GERMAN MUSICIAN
 HEADS HAWAuANS
Has Been Band Leader and General Supervisor of Music on the
 Island for A Years.

Honolulu, July 7.--Captain Henry Berger, composer and bandmaster of the Royal Hawaiian band from the days of the monarchy until 1916, cele-
 brated recently the fftieth anniver- sary of his arrival at Honolulu and
 was the guest of honor at a luncheon rendered by the Hawaiian Civic club.
 Captain Berger Is known as the man who made Hawaiian music fa- nous" He arranged for publicat ton many native melodies, including 'Ha- waii Ponoi.' the national anthem of the islands, and Aloha De-" from the words and air furnished by the late Queen Liliuokalani.
 Captain Berger related to the Civic club the manner in which he was chosen to come to Hawaii Kane hameha V. king in 1872, had re- quested Emperor Wilhelm of Ger many to supply musician to lead the Hawaiian band. and Berger was selected from five applicants in the German army. He came originally on fve-year furlough from the di lily. DuL Itlldiltl lD l6dQ the par for A years. throughout the reigns of kamehameha Y. King Lunaliho, King kalahaua, and Queen Liliuo- kalani. The overthrow of the mon archy left Captain Berger in the post of handmaster. where he remained until retired on a pension in 1916 by the city of Honolulu, which had taken over the mana cement of the band from the territory.
 His retirement did not keep Cap tain Berger from hls music. for he organized a band among the Boys Industrial school inmates and arranged to teach music in the Korean Christian Institute and the Sunday school of the Methodist Epis- | copal church here.
