THAT every precaution should be taken against fire in theaters is very evident. All doors should open outwards, and a sufficient numberj of exits should be provided. The recent narrow escape from a terrible tragedy at Lahaina should make the authorities take notice. It was only by the best of good luck that many people were not killed in the Lahaina affair. In Honolulu the authorities are very strict as regards moving picture houses, and a leaf from the capital city ordinances could, with much good effect, be added to the municipal laws of Maui. WHY NOT WATSON? IT looks as if the next Governor of Hawaii will be E. M. Watson. Already the Honolulu papers are taking up Watson's name and there is no doubt that the well known attorney will be deeply con sidered by President Wilson when he assumes the reins of office. Wat son would make a good governor, and he has always been in such close touch with Washington, that he would drop easily into the Territorial Chief Executive's chair. WIRELESS WONDERS. WIRELESS Day and Night ! It seems like a dream, and yet it is true. Messages can be sent at any time from Oahu to San Francisco, or any place on the mainland where there is a station. The feat seems incredible, but it is true. The rays of the sun have been overcome! and constant wireless communication is the order of things now-a-days. What next? Offer up thanks next Thursday, and don't forget to pray that there may be something to be thankful for during the next four years. Un der Democratic rule there will be mighty little however, Maui did her best. New York has proved that there are jurymen there who are not afraid of the threats of gangsters. The conviction of Becker and, later on, of the four "gun men" who shot Rosenthal, is a credit to the big city. The Great Euiopean war was nearly started this week. It seems a miracle that the Great Powers are not already at one another's throats. There seems to be a healthy interest taken in school matters now-a-days and the more the better. What about the Kihei Boat Landing r Has anybody noticed pas sengers landing there yet ? NOTICE OF SALE OF REAL PROPERTY FOR DELINQUENT TAXES. To UNKNOWN OWNER of R. P. 2986, L. C.

GEO. H. DUNN, Hector of Taxes, Disti ict of Molokai, Second rritory of Hawaii. "The child of six is concerned chiefly with discovering the world about him, particularly those things that concern him directly. He is full of life and activity, and is therefore drawn to those things that have to do with life and activity." What more likely subjects to in terest him than the dragon-fly, the wasp, the mosquito, the growing plant, etc., and what a splendid opportunity for acquiring a large and useful vocabulary the imple ments he uses, the soil, water, names of processes, colors, parts of plants and animals, etc., while his natural activities are being satisfied and through interest he is learning. Without interest there i3 no learn ing. A necessity for the use of lan guage is created and opportunity afforded for acquiring it. McMurry says, "If a course of nature studies is begun in the First grade and carried systematically through all the years up to the Eighth grade, is it not reasonable to suppose that real insight into na ture, based on observation, taken at first hand, may be reached? It will involve a study of living plants and animals, minerals, physical apparatus and devices, chemical ex periments, the making of collec tions, regular excursions for the ob servation of the neighboring fields, forests, and streams, and the work ing over of these and other concrete experiences from all sources through skillful class teaching." The Hon. P. P. Claxton, Com missioner of Education, in a com munication, dated October 29th, in speaking of our present Course of Study, says, "On the whole, it seems to me excellent- It is much better thought out than most courses of this kind which come to me. It seems to be based on sound princi ples and worked out with a good understanding of the interests and capacities of children, as well as with some understanding of the real purpose of school work. I like the close articulation of the work of dif ferent years and of different courses, and I am especially pleased with the amount of good literature which you are giving to the children of Hawaii." In his criticism of the work planned under the heading "Home Geography," he says, "It is not very clear that you require much out of door WQrk. . Of course, most elementary work in geography must be done out of the school room in the fields, the forests, shops, stores, at the railroad stations, etc.'' I think Mr. Copeland makes an other mistake when he uses his energy in destructive criticism of his fellow teachers and of the De partment which employs him in stead of in faithful, loyal, and harmonious service for the improve ment of the educational system and the uplift of our territory's- home makers. Yours very truly, T. H. GIBSON. Department Public Instruction. CUT RATE8 FOR KISSES. A jury in Evansville, Ind., has established a "flat rate of one cent a kiss for that State. A woman sued a man for $6,000 damages for kiss ing her and the jury awarded her the lone copper. THB SEA'S CRBBN LIGHT. , Dear Tip Did yon'eVer eec a green light iw-hen the air and Uie- iter and the sky all turn green? Green as grass! A pure jade green. Everything green, ship, sailors, sea, everything. I have told of this beautiful and perfectly marvelous thing to a lot of doubt y landsmen, and what did they do but try to give the horse laugh. The phenomenon known as the "green ray" at sunset and sunrise is the brilliant green color which the line bounding the upper limb of the sun assumes when it is just touching the water horizon, just a moment before raising or a mo ment after sinking. Some painter, it seems, has caught this glorious grr;.'n and painted it. I WHEN IT IS TIME TO ! Re-Tire 1 DO NOT FORGET THAT WE CARRY THE FAMOUS I Maui Dry Goods & Grocery Company, Ltd. NOTICE.
