How manv of your New Year
resolutions remain unshattered?
"None?" How perfectly natural!
A Certain judge has ruled that
barbers are not artists. Well,
some of them are not, that's a fact
Why, certainly. Women are
subiect to military duty. At least
they have the right to bare arms
Pity 'tis that Gibson was thwar

suitable course of study through.

AkvI, it lui iHTotne a line paper, typo
graphically, ami lias pplemlid news ami
editorial departments, and oodles of
"ads." It is easily the best paper out
side of Honolulu, and deserves all the
success it is enjoyiiur, since the present
energetic manager and able editor took
it. Koliala Midget.
Much obliged, brother.-
Tiyj Success Magazine, founded
in New York twelve years ago, has
suspended publication. As a fail
ure it was a success.
So far as yet known, the Com
missioners accomplished but little
in regard to the salary schedule
last Saturday. Perhaps Pope was
able to explain how he could pav
an eighth-grade supervising princi
pal from $175.00 to $250.00 per
month to inspect the work of a lot
of the finest teachers in the islands
and who possess the very highest
credentials, but who are paid from
$60. to SS3.33 per month. Like
wise, he verv probably explained
how he could pay a Kauai princi
pal of a three room school $83.33
and other principals of four rooms,
$83.33. Also win he pays an un
certificated teacher $60.00 A 1 1
these and more, we sincerely trust,
were satisfactorily explained to the
Commissioners.
A subscriber writes asking the
editor's opinion of a man who de
ceives his wife. Our opinion is
that he is a mighty smart man.
The stores that advertise i n
The Garden Island are the ones
that get the business. This is one
rule to which there is no exception.
Dr. Sun Yet has been elected
president of the new republic of
China. Here's to you Doc, and
may the Sun never set on the republic.
It is reported that a distinguish
ed aviator recently fell one hun-
dred feet, ker plunk into the ocean.
' A soft but mighty sloppy place to
alight in.
An exchange says that fourteen
hundred prisoners in a New Jersey
penitentiary have been vaccinated.
This was probably done to keep
them from breaking out.
California is certainly doing
things in the reform line; She
lately gave suffrage to the women
and now has passed a law pro
viding for a presidential primary
election.
Ir Morgan Shuster has really
been fired from Persia and is the
able financier he is represented to
be, we would like to get him to pi
lot The Garden Island through
1912.
Perhaps today no other educa
tional question is exciting more
consideration than that of teaching
agriculture in the elementary
schools of the Territory. Since
about 1901 this agitation has
spread all over the country, and
such progress has it made that now
in many states, agriculture is re
quired by law tQ be taught in the
rural schools, and examination of
teachers i n that subject is re
quired. This new feature of school work
is taking different forms in differ
ent localities, according to local
conditions and the attitude of the
supervising authorities. M a n y
County Superintendents have en
couraged and fostered the organiza
tion of boys' agriculture clubs,
and remarkable results have been
obtained.
The Commissioners of Educa
tion, in their attempt to establish
agricultural schools throughout
the islands will n o doubt have
the united support of every pro
gressive spirit in the Territory.
Over 8,000 people are said to
have shaken hands with President
Taft on New Year's day, and now
it is said by some that in Novem
ber next the people will shake him
oil over.
Now about this time of year you
will notice in the papers that the
friends of Mr. So and So are ur
ging him to run for office, when all
the time he is just dying to get into
the race.
If giving more power to the su
pervising principals will give them
a n opportunity t o consult I h e
principals concerning a suitable
course of study that will fit all
practical purposes, then the com
missioners are to be commended
for their actions in granting the
extra authority. But, on the other
hand, if this added power is to be
utilized as a basis upon which su
pervisors are to work off some fan
cy ideas on the already overworked
teachers, it will not work so satis
factory. While the supervisors are given
this extra power, principals will
naturally become more of a figure
head than ever in so much as each
supervisor will, probably, in order
to justify his possessing this added
power, put up anew stunt of sonic
sort, such as regrading, etc.
