President GrlfIiths in his report re-
TERED to the work done by the execu.
tive committee in the following terms:
ut has tried to take practical view
of our problems and, while holding
high ideal, has not let the failure to
attain this idea stand in the way Of
accepting and profting by the best
obtainable results. 1t realizes that II
has not adequately covered the field.
Its excuse Is in its limited resources
in men and money. Its policy has
been rather to take up the pressing
needs and to give to the mas much
study and energy as the limited time,
snatched from business and scanty
leisure, would allow. II rejoices that,
there are other men and other organi.
cations doing work in the same field
along the same or parallel lines"
The subcommittee on Education,
Charities and Public Health covered
many subjects in its report, parts OF
which follow:
| I'VE have been studying the tene
ments in the congested part of the city
with reference to fire.escapes, open
ings, stairs, lavatories and other con
| veniences. W. have found much t.
criticize. and have made complaints.
| In almost all instances we have re.
ceived cooperation from the owners,
and the condition of the tenements is
| materially better than year ago.
However, only beginning has been
made.
IAN attempt has been made to Sc
cure sand piles for the use of children.
Some have been secured, but this need
is only partially met.
| I'VE urge a multiplication of tho
| Children's Fairgrounds, believing that
the greatest preventive Of crime is in
| providing open-air facilities for chill
iren. Compared to what many other
cities have done, Honolulu has much
to do.
| "Our attention was called during the
summer that child labor was not prop
erly regulated Attention was called
| to different employers, and requests
| made that abuses be corrected. The
committee hope that the coming Leg
| stature will consider fayorably a law
for the proper supervision OF child
| labor, particularly, for shortening the
hours, and in some cases prohibit la.
Dor at night, and regulate the pay, etc.
"The committee believe'that children
ought not to be detained with harden
ed criminals, and we have recommend
| ed that new places Of detention be pro
yided. This matter is still pending,
1--WE have had some correspondence
concerning the application OF the Pure
Food Law to certain cereals on the
market in Honolulu.
1--WE have called frequent attention
Of the authorities to the condition OF
streams. cutters and stagnant pools,
particularly, those in and around Pa
lama. Increased attention had been
made to the cleansing Of the streets,
so that their condition Is much better
than year ago.
1.-THE committee recommend that
measures be taken to stop the exces-
sive noise, particularly at night, at the
time Of our public holidays"
The Committee on Legislation anal
slish celery, pim-olas, and sailed al
monds would describe this portion OF
the menu.
Then came the prize wonder OF the
score card Observation-Disclosures
kakapuaa, Nalakaa o Manoa," much
harder to pronounce than to eat, 1t
proving to be delicately prepared
little sea fish about two inches long
With 1t was served some nice "Lolo-
kaa," merely potatoes la duchesse.
| Sweetbreads were served under the
alias Of "Wai Hui Haleakala," and
the little French peas that trailed
along with this course had to pass as
Manu- Puma" The punch was
called "Hulahula, Hilo;" the SQUAD
! rote, "Palenapaawaiaho the sal
ad chiffonade, "Waiu Paka Pilau;'
the ice, "Kopa Kona, Louisson;" the
cheese, "Paka ona o Kona," and the
tiny demi tasse masqueraded under
the heavy handicap of "Koniaukoni-
awaiokalama."
