A Test of Americans.
During the next six months we shall
see how far those people who live in
this country but are anti-American
throughout are willing to go in an ef—
fort to defeat a distinctly national end.
This end is the acquisition by this gov‘
vernment of the Hawaiian islands.
The treaty goes over until December,
but the government is committed
through the signature of the Secretary
of State and the formal approval of the
President, and the project is indorsed
by the great majority of the American
people. But those who oppose it are
preparing for a fight, and, appropriate-
ly. enough, will find themselves in
league with, and under the leadership
of, a foreign country, Japan, against
their own.
There is nothing in their side of the
record but what the friends of annexa—
tion thoroughly approve. The whole
case from the beginning is clear. The'
Hawaiian monarchy fell by reason of
its corruption and total inefficiency.
Under it, all sorts of abuses flourished.
Progress was impossible. The people,
native and foreign born alike, were
under a harrow. Finally, the limit of
patience was reached, and the men of
most force and substance in the islands
rose up and put an end to the travesty
on‘gmvernment, and set up a govern-
ment of their own. They exercised
succe ssfully the supreme right of rev-
olution in a supremely good cause.
The. legitimacy of this action was
certified to by a number of witnesses
of unimpeachable character, and bytwo
Americans on the scene in high official
places. The
American minister, Mr. Stevens, and
the commander of the American man-
Of—war, the Boston, Captain Wilts 3,
then at anchor in’tlie roads at Honolulu,-
gave a circumstantial account of the
whole proceeding, which terminated
regularly accredited
one government and established an?-
other. A regularly organized govern-
ment, then, legitimately set up, Ofiers
the country under its control :to this
country, upon terms guaranteeing the
mutual benefit of both countries.
American statesmen Of the first class
for sixty years have favored the union
of the two countries; the. civilized
powers of the whole earth recognize
the sound political logic of the proceed-
ing; the only protesting power is one
but lately out Of the swaddling clothes
of oriental inaction.
High Schools.
The Chicago Journal displays a de-
cidedly unfriendly feeling toward the
High School as a feature of our free
school system. It states that when, a
year or two ago, the Chicago School
Board was hard pressed for funds and
economies were discused perforce, a dis-
position was shown on the part of some
persons in authority to sacrifice the
primary grades rather than to make
any retrenchments in the High Schools.
It says it, was pointed out that only an
infinitesimal fraction of the public
school pupils went through the High
Schools, and that, relatively consider-
ed, the cost of the institutions was out
of all proportion to the benefits derived
from them, it adds, “the suggestion
that we mightstruggle along without
them ifit cameto a pinch was received
with pious horror.”
We think no no will seriously con-
tend that if a city were too poor to
support a complete system of schools it
would be better to‘ sacrifice the lower.
than the higher grades. We could -
come verynear but not quite to agree-
ment with the Journal in its proposi-
tion that “ every High School should
be converted into a primary school if
that were necessary to prevent the re-
ductiOn Of the appropriations for the
lower grades _be a single copper.” It
is true that “an enlightened public pol-
icy demands the primary school. It is
essential to the welfare of a self-govern-
ing community.” But we do nOt con-__
cede the correctness 70f the Journal’s
conclusion that “public interest ceases
where the High School begins.” SO
far as we can judge the sentiment of
the people on this subject by the acts
of their legislative and executive agents
there is a great and growing “public
interest in the High-Schools. New
'York city, which has long lagged at
is now expending millions of dollars to
establish High Schools. _
The Legislature of Connecticut has
just enacted a law giving High School
advantages to nearly all the towns in
our State. The New Hampshire Leg-
islature is expected to pass a law for
that purpose at its next session. Phil-
adelphia is extending the facilities of
her principal High School. Kansas
City has erected a costly building to
be used for the industrial department
of her High School. In fact, all over
the country, East and West, North and
South, there is a movement for the im-
provement of the public schools, and in
all localities it includes the higher as
well as the primary and intermediate
grades. We do not hear from any
quarter that their is a necessity to sac-
rifice one part Of the great structure in
order to save the rest. I
The VVashington- Post says of the
High Schools that they are quite as
popular with the poor as with the rich,
and, although a majority Of the chil-
dren drop out of the schools before
reaching the upper grades, many fam-
ilies among the working classes are
represented in those grades. There
are children every year in our High
Schools whose mothers feed and clothe
them by taking in washing.
Our Chicago contemporary complains
that most of the High school gradu-
ates in that city are girls. It says the
institutions are “finishing” schools for
young ladies and for a very few young
ladies who are enabled through them
to secure a half-way classical education
at the expense of the whole body of
taxpayers. It says of the graduates
that some will take to school teaching
and others will take to matrimony at
the earliest opportunity.
As school teachers not-less than in
the capacity of wives and mothers,
these young women will be far more
useful to “the whole body of taxpayers”
than they would have been had there
been no High Schools in Chicago. The
Journal Is opposing a tide Of public
sentiment that is simply irresistible.
FEMININE CHAT.
Bicycle repair shopsare as thick as
ice cream parlors. '
And now it seems as though summer
had really come at last.
The hottest day always finds your
most becoming shirt waist at the
laundry. '
A bicyclist’s enthusiasm rather sub-
sides When-the thermometer soars into
the nineties. , ,
Why is it so many men’s moral sensi-
bilities are blunted on the subject of
appropriating photographs ‘?
The woman who wears a ring on her
first finger undoubtedly sees beauty in
the gold circlet run through the nose.
Warm weather sales of carpets are a
boon to the housekkepers who are
thinking of fixing up the house in the
autumn.
Just as you feel that you are pretty
well equipped to leave towu for a good
time the filling in your front tooth is
sure to drop out.
Very few up-to-date young women
are like the daughter in the Old rhyme
who was given permission to go in
swimming, but warned not to go near
the water; the average summer maid
not only goes near the water, but dives
floats, swims and disportsherself in it
generally like a veritable ocean nymph.
No matter how handsome the cloth
ing to the eye these days as the simple
little dimity or organdie that looks
cool. , '
The new whist puzzle is very popular
at summer resorts and promises to be
as greatly in demand as was the per-
plexing fifggen problem some years ago.
Life’s battles are a thousand times
more telling on our nervous organiza-
tion when we try to Shirk them than
when we get right into the midst of
the fray and do the best we can to come
Off victorious.
Fix your porch up as a living room
and you will be surprised how easy it
is to pass a summer comfortably in
town—Of course, the poor individuals
who haven’t a porch'will have to fix
up a roof garden or endeavor by im-
agination to think themselves as cool
as the proverbial cucumber.
