COUNTING COPOLAND'S COST.
" 1 he fjtllicr ou go the more ou see" in the Cupcland plan, with
vlncli some people are trying to upset llic educational system of the Ter
ritory. Mr. Coeland admits that liis plan molves a complete change of text
LooLs for the upwards of twenty-three thousand pupils now attending the
puLlir schools.
An authority from one of llie book supply houses states that the change
of text hooks will mean three dollars additional expense per pupil for those
in tin- lower grades and five dollars additional expense for pupils of the
higher grades. That means only a paltry sum of something like one hun
dred thousand dollars additional exense for the parents of the pupils.
And in order to force this thing through Copeland told one of his asso
ciate siiHTising principals that he had belter come along with the Cope
land scheme because Commissioner Aiken was in favor of it, and opposing
principals would stand a good chance of losing their positions. Lacking
merit he must use the thinly eiled ihrcat. ,
Is anything more needed to convince the public that it is high lime for
Mr. Copeland to leave the service of the Department of Public Instruction.
And if Aiken is in the same school-politics text-book-increase game, that he
hau- the good sense to get out.
Copeland is reported lo hae said that this is the culmination of a fifteen
e.irs struggle.
If this be true he should be allowed to seek sen ice in other fields, for he
has been spending his fifteen years of preparation to the ultimate purpose,
as shown by his present acts, of forcing the public schools of Hawaii into
peanut politics and increased expense.
The Bulletin believes that the overwhelming majority of the teach
ers aie of the tpc represented by Mr. Raymond, who quietly but firmly told
Cox-land and his associates that he came here to teach, not to do politics.

Honolulu never made a better In
vestment than the one hundred thou
sand dollars ventured on tho exterm
ination of the mos(iulto. Hut It will
be wasted If the peoplo do not keep
constantly at tho work for a clean
town.
Assuming and self-appointed educa
tional reformers don't seom to euro
much about tho additional expenso for
text books, so the people have to put

tinues to be liberal with Its appropri

Tho supreme question this year Is
not whether Taft can defeat Koose
velt or Hoosevelt Taft, but whether
the choice at tho Chicago convention
can vanquish the standard-bearer of
the Democratic party ut the polls
when the opposition Is considered
more formidable than at any tlmo
since Cleveland was elected.
This has been a year of surprises.

Honolulu Is concerned T Some day, in
the very near future, when n ship that
has come through the Canal, anchors
off our port mid seeks to transact bus
iness, but we are not ready, are we
going to be n lot of Jimmy Slowpokes
and make the excuse that we didn't
know It was loaded?
"Pop the love of Honolulu" Is a
pretty good slogan for every citizen

Looks like this was to be another
vear when nil the sugar experts
guessed wrong, but not so far wrong
as has sometimes been the ease.
lloosevelt will now probably tell the
people that ho 1 egrets he has been
forced to upset the ancient custom
that u President shall not accept mare
than two terms. He usually has some
tcply for his old friend.
Mainland papers gave scarce n
headline to the report of the Senate
Finance Committee on the sugar tar-
In. Kveryone knows that the stnglng
for political effect was In the House.
And nfler that, they lost Interest.
Would ou think that Holstetn will
have tlmo to tell the story of the con
vention whllo touring New Jersey, or
will the President keep him so busy
doing the glad hand act from far-off
Hawaii, that he won't have time to
think of home.
Tlie lecturer on 1 law-ill who told
the Washington audience Hint tho folk

Consul Uyeno's departuro will be

Mr Uveno has been in somn very try
ing situations during his tour of duty
In Honolulu mid lias handled the In
terests of his peoplo In u manner at
once dignified and entirely free from
offense. He Is clearly a trained and
sincere diplomat Hawaii's good will
follows li in wherever he goes, and
assures him a cordial greeting If he Is
to return.
Secretary McClellan's resignation Is
n mn'tter of regret but tho action Is
not unexpected. It tallies In fact
with his statement of his plans made
when last In Honolulu to the editor
of the Ilullotlii. Mr. McClellau
has held a most dlllliull position in u
manner highly credltalilo to hlniBelf
und gratifying to the Delegate and the
people of Hawaii Kuhln's task of
finding a man to till this placo will bo
more difficult than deciding who shall
be the not Hawaii Delegate lo Con
gress. Tho token presented to Captain Rer
ger at the business "men's luncheon
this noon Is a very Imperfect but very
sincere expression of the appreciation
of all Hawaii for tho work ho has
done. Had It not been for dipt Her
der's lmiBlcii'l genius It is doubtful
whether the natural musical talent of
the Hawaiian would have been so
splendidly developed and It Is certain
that tho true Hawaiian music would
never have been 'preserved In Its na
tive und naturul melody. Capt Mer
ger epitomizes the value of efficiency
In organization for currying u tuneful
Idcul through tho most rapid variety of
changes that any section of the globe
has ever known.
