Superintendent of Public Instruc tion Babbitt displayed his courage in facing n Hilo mass meeting last Thursday upon the question of a high school site, n subject which has ever been a bone of con tention, since the passage of the act creating the Hilo high school. He showed himself equal Jo situation and although subjected to a rigid catechism regarding the motives of the administration in reopening a question, which had previously been settled to the npparant satis faction of all, he answered every question honestly and well. An official with less tact 01 consider ation of the proprieties of the occa sion, might have precipitated a factional fight which would have 'resulted in a disagreement over a matter upon which all should agree. This is the first time Hilo has been honored with a visit from the head of the Department of Educa tion, and after a few days spent in in visiting the various schools of the county, Superintendent Babbitt has acquired an intimate knowledge of the needs of the service on Ha waii and is able to determine upon the best methods for its improve ment. He is convinced that public school teachers are the poorest paid of all government employees. In a department where brains should be at a premium, he finds condi tions such that instructors of the youth of this Territory are required to suffer privations and hardships of travel, which no other state or territory would permit to continue uncorrected. The visit of Superintendent Babbitt can only be attended with beneficent results to the depart ment and to the public as well, and although no other matter than the final settlement of the high school site is accomplished, the people will feel grateful for this display of administrative interest. l'olirc Suffer in n Itnlil.

It is such acts of rowdism on the part of those individuals who do not usually at tend public meetings, except when trouble is brewing that give color to the suggestion of packed assem blies ready to break up a meeting at all hazards than meet failure in their plans. The old "town meet ing" can be made the instrument of much good, wherever every in dividual is permitted to speak his opinion freely without interruption, but the very purpose of such a gathering can be nullified by the presence of disturbing factors who seek only the furtherance of their selfish purposes. "The MeiiN (or Poets." The breakfast party became fashionable in the early decades of the last century, Samuel Rogers being one of the principal hosts. Round his table gathered all the wits and celebrities of the day. At his house on St. James place Byron and Moore first came together "over a mess of potatoes and vine gar." It was in his dining room that Erskine told the story of his first brief and Grattan that of his last duel, while the iron duke des cribed Waterloo as a "battle of gtants. Rogers asked his people, it was currently reported, by way of probation for dinner; but his breakfast parties were more social than his dinners, which, compara tively speaking, were affairs of. ne cessity or form. His invitation notes were models of penmanship and conciseness. "Will you break fast with me tomorrow? S. R.," was the pithy invitation to a cele brated wit. "Won't I?" was the congenial response. He was fond of quoting Roussau's profession of tin gout fin pour les dejeuners the time of the day when we are quiet est and talk most at our ease. Gre ville in his "Memoirs" notes one of these breakfasts in 1831, "Syd ney Smith, Luttrell, John Russell and Moore excessively agreeable. I never heard anything more en tertaining than Sydney Smith such bursts of merriment and so dramatic. Breakfasts are the meals of poets. I met Wordsworth and Southcy at breakfast. Rogers' are always agreeable." f THE 1 that is often prized mote than the gift of great cost. It's the little. tok6n that carries with it a message from the 'heart and fills the day with gladness.
