Danger Has Lasted Years.

1T has been said that school fires are
almost objectionable and that they are
likewise almost typical in American
cities The dangerous conditions have
been apparent for many years. and time
and time again the public authorities
have been urged and urged 10 safeguard
more thoroughly the lives OF children
in the public schools.
Warnings have been numerous. with
out the disaster in Collinwood, but that
disaster aroused everyone on the sub
Ject Of safeguarding the lives of pupils,
and Immediately Investigations were be-
gun in cities throughout the country.
From reports that have been compiled.
II is evident that conditions are suf-
flCiently dangerous to warrant the as
serJion that protective appliances are
needed in the school buildings in each
city In the United States"

High School Year in Athletics

| of our boys, who have accomplished
| something for the school and given ii
| the best they had.
| 1 think we can regard the past year
work in athletics as a success. Ex-

in all sports, while in previous years
we have played our first team against
their second teams
The first branch of athletics in
which We played against first teams
was Association football, and the
showing we made was very satisfac-
tory. Although both Punahou and
Kamehameha won from US. still we
gave them both good games. Our vic
tory over Aliiolani only showed that
after We have had more experience We
can look forward TO successive COM
petitions with our strange fivals.
In collegiate football last fall our
second team got together and prac-
tised with a consistency that well de-
served the success which they Won. IL

SPOR ! s
BOYS CLUBS
DOING THINGS

What will be without doubt the
longest organized relay race against
time is that proposed by the Boys
Departments of the Young Mems
Christian Association TO be run from
City Hall, New York, TO the MAYORS
office, Chicago, beginning at precisely
10 a. m. July Is. The best runner and
best aII-round boy OF the ed Street
Branch viii appear clad in his running
tights and a dressing gown al the
office Of Mayor Mcclellan and receive
a message from him at the door, drop
MS dressing gown and make the first
lap of the thousand-mile run. One
mile up Broadway the second runner
will await him TO seize the message
and speed on. AT every mile post up
to Yonkers, n. 7, a boy will be ready
TO leap forward Judges will accom-
pany the runners and pick them up
as they complete their sprints until
the 9onkers boys take the message to
bear on northward. Then the New
York City contingent will come back
to the city in a procession of automo-
biles
The Young Mems Christian Associa-
to Chicago are trying out their boys
for the race. Only boys from Is to IT
years of age viii be selected, and after
a careful physical and medical exami-
nation. The squad will run and train
for weeks, and then the boys who will
do credit to the organization will be
selected to bear its colors. There will
be no medals or prizes. The order of
the selection and the record of the time
made will be glory enough to enlist the
best boys of the department No other
organization than the Y. NJ c. A. could
arrange and safeguard such a race,
as il has fully 100, 900 boys under the
training of expert directors. The race
will be conducted day and night up
to Saturday at 10 o'clock. and will be
resumed again at o'clock Monday
morning. While the race will probably
be run in less than six days, the lead
ers do not propose to have it extend
into the Sabbath, through any unfor-
seen delays, so these dates were select
ed. The scheme which is attracting
attention all over the country was first
suggested by the boys secretary at
Cleveland, who had in hand a similar
run from that city to Cincinnati. A
A. Jameson, secretary of 23d Street
Branch, New York, has the direction
of the race in the east. July Is has
been selected as the best time for this
run. because then the boys will have
had three weeks Of vacation 10 train
for the event, and the night runs may
be made by moonlight. The longest
run for a single association to cover is
from Buffalo to Erie. The announce
ment Of this race has greatly stimulat-
ed cross-country running, and the
Boys Clubs of Honolulu should feel
proud that they belong to such an
organization.

AS the school year is drawing TO an
end MANY of US are asking ourselves
whether or not we have made the most
of our opportunities and accomplished
as much as we hoped last September.
Have we done the best that was in us
or have we Jagged and failed?
Those interested in the athletics OF
the school must ask themselves the
same questions and in their answer we
can read the success or failure or the
future. Those who are doing the hard,
faithful work today are the ones of.
whom the school can rely tomorrow
bnt those who scott and viii not do the
hard work Of practise viii be OF no
more use TO the school in athletics
next year than they were this.
We are at a great disadvantage be-
cause of our poor equipment and from
lack of funds. The other schools of
the city are fortunate enough to have
their own athletic field with their dres-
sing rooms nearby. We have to play
all our games on our opponents
grounds and get our practise wherever
Ne can find a vacant lot
The great object of athletics is very
frequently lost sight Of in the great
desire TO win from our opponents. Vic
tory is pleasant but il is Insignificant
and temporary as compared TO the
other results Of our athletic work.
Athletics round out and balance a
students life as nothing else can do.
They assure him a sound body 10 go
along with his higher education They
give him a. richness OF experience such
a. no one else can prove. And best
Of all. they train him in self-command
ana in a regard for the rights OF
others.
We can get all these advantages Of
athletics even if We have 10 practise IN
somebody's back yard II We can
truly say that We have done our best I
and made the most Of our opportuni- /
ties then We have a right 10 be proud !

HO TONG IS
IN HOT WATER

From what can be seen, there is GO
ing to be some trouble at the meeting
of the Chinese Alohas tomorrow even
ing. It seems that Ho Tong is plan
ming to give a Hard Times masquerade
ball on the 10th of June. under the
name Of the Chinese Alohas, without
any authority from that club.
The officers of the club are on Hos
trail, and some of them have even gone
so far as to say that Ho should be
expelled from membership altogether,
without waiting TO take up his So
called resignation sent to the secretary
some time ago.
II think that Ho Tong is going a
little too far with the affairs Of our
club" stated President John Akana
yesterday. Il can't see how he has
had the nerve to go and advertise in
the papers about this dance, when the
club has not given him any authority
to do So"

ACCIDENT MAY BE FATAL.
III. III. Rhca Knocked Down by Street
Car and Seriously Hurt.

TT. Fl Rhea, aged &C. a citizen well
known in realty and mining circles,
was knocked down and probably fatally
injured last evening by a westbound
car on Third South near Fifth East
streets: The old man is deaf, having
lost bis hearing through typhoid fever
y years ago, his left leg has been am
putated below the knee and his right
eye Is gone; so travelling around at
night, specially in the deep snow, was
attended with special difficulties. Mr..
Rhea had just waited for an eastbound
car to pass and did not notice the west
bound car approaching at the same
time. The result was that, being deaf
and partially blind. he failed to notice
it, and stepped directly IN front of the
car. He was knocked some distance,
and was picked up with broken left
hip bone, a broken rib and fractured
collar bone.
Motorman c. w. Cannon quickly
stopped his car, and a friend of the
injured man. DIR. r. r. Brownficld, who
CHANGED TO be on that car. took charge
of Mr.. Rhea whom he removed TO his
home, 341 Fifth East street. Opiates
were administered but on account of
the patients condition 1t was not
thought advisable TO set the broken
bones until today. The motorman says
he noticed the old man crossing the
street, and put on the brakes. so as to
slow up. When within 10 feet of Mr..
Rhea, he stopped, so the motorman
thought he saw the approaching car.
and turned on the current again. Then
Mr., Rhea stepped directly in front OF
the car.
