Investigation of State Board of Edu- cation Proves Change Necessary— Public Meeting Considers Matter. Many of the citizens of the town of Chaplin and -cthers interested in the schools of the state were present at 2 meeting held in the town hall of that place Thursday evening for the pur- pose of discussing the conditfon of schools in the tbwn. After an in- vestigation of the schools by the state board of education this board noti- \|fled the people of Chaplin that they' should hold a meeting for the purpose of taking action imi the matter, as the school beard from the town had been notified of the conditions but had tak- en no action. This town as well as many other towns of the state have not come un- der the direction of the state board of education yet, consequently the condi- tions were made known to the people by means of cards sent out by the state board. Among those present at the meeting was Secretary Charles D. Hine of the State Board of Education, and others Interested in the work of the state board. Many of these spoke in fa- vor of having the state board take con- trol of the situation and of the good work accomplished in other towns where the state board has taken hold. Members of the school board of the town were present as well as a num- ber of others who spoke on what had been done to their knowledge by the state supervisor. In some cases it was shown that the expenses of the schools had increased while under the direction of a supervisor, and 'it was stated that a supervisor was again the wishes of the voters of the town. The meeting was adjourned without taking any action but it is thought that a town meeting will be called to have something done. The cards sent out by the siate board teNing bf theé con- ditions started a great deal of interest Ia this matter. Building Wall On The Oaks.

HAWAII MAY APPEAL #0 CONGRESS FOR RELIEF Are Cramped on Ac- count of Shortage of Steamships.a Honolulu, T.. H, Dec. 15—Hawaii, with its industries cramped and food prices soaring on account of the shortage of steamships, is preparing to urge upon congress at the coming short session legislation to relieve the the condition. Prices have soared far beyond those on the mainland, though a few years ago the cost of living was considerably less here than it was in San Francisco and .other coast cities. With the American flag all but dis- appeared from the Pacific, the situation that confronts the island is serious. The Pacific Mail steamships Ecuador and Venezuela both fiying the Ameri- can flag, come and go through this port, but they are not allowed to car- ry freight or passengers between Ha- wail and the mainland. for the reason that they are foreign-built, and, un- der the present interpretation of the new shipping act, not _entitled to American_registry. Thus far, how- ever, there has, 8o far as can be learn- ed here, been no final ruling upon that question and Hawail is still hopeful that the government, in view of the sey BOOKLET. Telephone 675 Norwic ~ 20d skilled matic society of the school will put onl the sufferer has been many years in We use no_ harsh or dangerous methods. rious condition that obtains, will re- verse its present attitude and give those vessels and others like them reg- Istry. Uther vessels that formerly flew the American flax and catered to the needs of the islands, such, for Instance, as. the Korea, formerly of the Pacific Mail fleet, still come and go, but their stern flitters the emblem of the Rising Sun, and so'far as Hawaii is concerned, they do not count, except: for such comparatively small business as is done between this port and the Orient. The reason is that, although Homno- lulu is 2,100 nautical miles away ¥om the mainland, the coastwise shipping laws still apply here, preventing for- eign bottoms from carrying freight or passengers between American ports. It is proposed that Delegate Kalani- anole shall, at the coming short ses- sion of congress, ask for legislation to relieve the eituation.
