KALIHI CAMP
TO HAVE SCHOOL

Kalihi camp hall was crowded with
mon, women and children last night
at a meeting of the Kalihi and Pa
lama-kai Improvement Club to which
the Moyal and Supervisors, Lorrin
Andrews, and }. G.. Cohen had been
invited. Parents brought their chill
dren to show the need for a school at
that place. The club had secured
the hall for a temporary school house,
Superintendent Pope had promised a
teacher in September and all that
lacked was equipment to be provided
by the Board of Supervisors.
w. K. Poai, president, was in the
chair. John X. Kahuena, secretary,
kept the minutes and S. M. Mahelona
acted as interpreter.
Mr.. Andrews congratulated the club
on it's splendid showing and useful
service.
Supervisor AHA of the ways and
means committee, that has charge of
the school promised his support in
having the school furnished and gave
a cheering speech generally which
was warmly applauded
Mr. Cohen was announced to speak
on Improvement clubs he had OBJ
served on the coast, which he did. at
tributing much of the credit for the
new San Francisco to the work Of
these bodies in the suburbs. Refer.
ring to the school matter he told the
people not to accept any excuse of
lack of money from the Supervisors,
saying that if they had not funds to
build school houses they should get
the money-he did not say where or
how AS a member of the Legisla-
ture he admitted that no provision
was made for school houses at last
session, money being provided instead
to bring Russians here who were not
wanted Mr.. Cohen announced his
candidacy for the Senate and solicit,
ed the votes of the Kalihi people, pro.
missing to support provision for school
houses so that good building for
Kalihi camp should be erected,
Supervisor Aylett kept the audi.
ence in good humor, shown by frequent
laughter and applause, as he discuss
ed school, roads and lights.
Chairman Logan of the ways and
means committee on rising said he
informed Mr.. Mahelone when the
latter gave him an oral invitation
preceding the written one, that if the
building was provided the a Board
would equip it with furniture. He then
told the audience that if the proposal
had been presented at the former
meeting of the club he had attended,
the ways and means committee would
have had the furniture in before the
road committees had begun the re-
pairs on their road which he was
glad to see now In progress The
speaker did not make any reference
whatever to Road Supervisor Wilson
as reported in the morning paper. Mr..
Cohen's statement of the ability of
the Board of Supervisors to erect
school houses was characterized as
nonsense. Mr. Cohen knowing well
that the Legislature of which he was
a member had discreditably broken
Hawaii's good record of nearly a
century in refusing not only to vote
a dollar for school buildings but also
to empower the counties to raise
funds for that purpose. In closing
the speaker INDUCED in a little pleas
antry regarding his two visits to thu
club which was we'll received.
Members of the club made short
!, speeches, in which complaint was
made of Mayor Ferns absence. Al
, the end hearty vote of thanks was
rendered to the Supervisors for theil
Z presence and promises. The meet
: ing was opened and closed with pray
er and as it dispersed men, womeT
, and children came forward to shaxr
hands with Messrs. AHA and Logan
! the only visitors who had remained t
, the close.
