Ges een interest in the project to educate working girls VOLUME 53. has been aroused to develop differences of opinion and start discussion. That in itself is gratifying. As the diverging parties concede that instruction is needed their controversy as to how it should be given, and in what it should consist, may result in pro- viding the girls with a choice of schools and training. Each faction may set up a system of ite own. That would be in a meaeure costly, but it would not be waste. One of the manufacturers backing the plan says: “In time I hope every girl in every trade in New York will have thorough schooling et the expense of her employers.” A leader of a trade union said much the same thing: “We ought to have a law compelling every employer to pay for the education of his employees.” On the other hand, some of the workers fear the movement is @esigned by the employers to undermine the unions. One of them @ays: “The six weeks’ strike in which we were victorious was tlio’ best education the girls could have.” Another said: “Far better is war own idea of teaching the girls in a union night school. They are the sort working girls need.” Neither of these views is right. No city nor State should im- pose upon employers the task of educating their employecs. Neither would it be right to oppose them if they undertake it. We repeut, (however, the controversy is good. It may educate the public as well as the girls. ' ———— FOR YOUR PLEASURE TO-MORROW.

ROM far Hawaii come voices announcing that if we are to admit F foreign sugar to our markets free of duty she would like to retire from the Union and resume independence, The announcement is unexpected, but not unreasonable. Tt was concededly the sugar men of Hawaii that overthrew monarchy and boldly espoused the sacred principles of republican government, They did it in the name of liberty and Americanism, but the intent was to get access to a protected market. When they so nobly of- fered their country to stand as an advance guand in the seas to} ed | protect our Pacific coast they expected te be paid for it in incre profits from selling sugar in a monopoly-protected market. If the market is to be no longer protected they have been cheated. Is is a sad case, but the fault rests not with us, And we cannot let Hawaii go. We need her to protect Guam.
