The present situation is not one
calling for criticism of any system,
anv hospital or any person. It is
the result mcrelv and purely of
public apathy on the important
iucspon. It is not a nice subject,

things to s
of it bein ; 'hat Sheba is making a
play for nney.
We know nothing of this pha.se
of the matter, and feel hopeful
that the charge b not true. How
ever, it see-as strange th -t a man
should eei utc a complete right
about on ; n important u stion
when the i irenmstanecs and es
sential tact., have not themselves
changed.
It is plain that something is

tion of a wise counsellor lie has
undoubtedly descended to '.lie level
of an unuiso lo" br: and tl'.o I ip
ancse on the plantations, who arc
now get! nig along well and are
satisfied, should think carefully
before ac- pting his now and
strange doctrines. The plantations
have dealt fairlv and squarely
with the Japanese in the past, are'
doing it today and will do it in the
future. Just at present the future
of sugar hangs in the balances
(through no fault of anyone in the
Islands), ,nd until the serious
problem of t'loe s;;g ir is definitely
settled no a Station for a change
in labor conditions can be regard

A Tuberculosis Hospital
Although no complaints to that
effect have come directly to us. we
understand that there is in the air
some slight feeling that in an edi
torial last week suggesti lg a con
sumption hospital foi the island of
Kauai due credit was not given to
the Lihue, M;.kaweli and some
other hospitals, perhaps, for wcrk
along this lino already being done.
It was fir ihom our purpose or in
tent to withhold credit from these
worthy, general hospitals.
The qiij.-lion is one, however,

has done much for us hero, but
how prettier and nicer our envi

intelligent "pegging away". We
shall look forward with interest to
a repeat from the Village Improve
ment Committee at the approach
iug meeiing of the Chamber foi
Commerce.
We are hopeful that community
sentiment mav Pe aroused on this
matter, and that some plan may b
f irmulatod prior to the meeting of
the Logi-laiure in February, which
r.ny lead to definite results along
the lines indicated.

Thunder At Sea
1 as-engcrs aboard the W. G.
liall, coming up from Honolulu
Thursday night, experienced a
real, live storm at sea. Lightning
flashed about the little steamer and
thunder pealed frequently. Rain
came down i n blinding sheets,
driving all the deck passengers to
the saloon below, where the y
crouched on the floor until the
storm had been successfully weath-
Thc meeting of the Mokihnna
Club on Wednesday is commend
ed as one of the best in its history.
After long- wandering about in the
Middle Ages, they have got down
to interest of-our own time, and
are now studying local civics.
The subject for the day, under
the leadership of Mrs. J. M. Lvd-
ate, was Vocational Training-
with dashing forays into the field
of school readers and national
politics.
.Some say that it was a particu
larly good meeting because two of
the main papers were contributed
by men, who were, however, not
permitted to read them.
The Golden Treasury Series of
readers came m for a large mea
siire of intelligent criticism.
Leading teachers, and others, had
been interviewed all over the Is
land, and the result of this sym
posimmvas an emphatic condem
nation of these readers for our
schools. .Some of the objections
were as follows: They are too dif
ficult, with many unusual words,
some o f which cannot be
found in anv ordinary dictionary;
the language is such as no ordi
nary child in these Islands will
ever be lncely to have occasion to
use, hence it is largely a' waste of
time for them to struggle with it;
a large amount oi the material con
sists of unfarmiliar stories from
Greek mythology, which have no
relation to the affairs ot ordinary
life.
These stories are fantastic and
unreal, tending to undermine and
confuse the childish devotion to
trui h and to destroy high ideals of
rectitude.
In this connection attention was
called to the need on the Islands
of readers suited to our local con
ditions Our children are entirely
ainformiliar with natural ice and
snow and skating; they know
nothing about oaks and clems, and
maples; deer, boars, foxes, etc;
etc, things that abound i.i the
mainland readers. We should
have, thought some, readers that
dei.l with familiar conditions
which our children can readily
understand. Such readers, it
-ceins, have been prepared for the
Philippines, with, great care, and
much intelligence, and they have
given great satisfaction there. If
we can't have readers of our own
perhaps wc might adopt those ot
the l'hilippiuespit any rate nothing
can be worse than the Golden
Treasury Series, seemed to be thc
concensus of opinion.
