Settlement does not aim to turn our
scholars in the higher sense of the
word; all it attempts is to give the
lads sound working knowledge of the
subjects taught. American history is
subject well worthy a place in the
curriculum, for it is ESSENTIAL that
citizens of Hawaii in all stations Of
life should know something of the
early American history and the in
situations of the country to which
they belong
In addition to imparting useful
knowledge to the boys who come I'M
der the notice of the Settlement, the
executive endeavor to find employment
for them, and also for men of all
nationalities who are stranded. So
far, this phase of the Settlements
utility has been confined mainly to
| foreigners, Spanish, Portuguese and
Russians, with a few English and
American mechanics. The class of
labor supplied is usually that suited
tc mechanics and laborers.
| Perhaps the most praiseworthy
section of the Settlement in the Muir
Eing Gepartmen4 which is divided
between nine hard working modest
white garbed nurses, who are on duty
daily from eight in the morning until
five in the afternoon and are in read
mess at night if wanted to attend to
an urgent case. The nursing staff
comprises: Miss Mary Warne, Exc

The Proposed New
Palana Settlement

An unpretentious group of wooden
buildings standing back from King
street in one of the most unsavory dis
tricts of Honolulu, with a modest sign
spanning the lane leading to the cen
trail house, marks the headquarters of
one of the most useful of all charitable
institutions in the Territory. Yet so
secluded are the buildings, and so
much in keeping with the surrounding
structures is the exterior that one
might we'll be pardoned for passing by
with no more than a passing glance in
their direction. We refer to the Pa
lama Settlement, opposite Liliha street,
that center from which one hundred
and one good offices for the poor and
needy are directed. The existence of
this institution is practically unknown
to the tourist who passes through Ho-
molulu, or to the new conner, for 1t is

mated that $4,000 will have to be
raised to carry out the plans of the
executive, but we are convinced that
when the appeal is made there will be
no difficulty in raising the sum men
toned.
In reeds but a cursory glance
round the Settlement to assure even
the most skeptical that the work of
the organization is of great utility,
though the scope of the work is ham
pered by the lack of greater facilities.
At present, owing to the many altera-
lions which are being made, it is not
an opportune time to visit the Settle
ment but this fact in no way detracted
from the earnestness with which our
representative was welcomed a cou
pie of days ago by James A. Rath, head
worker and treasurer of the Institu-
ton. Miss Mary Warne, the eXecu'
tive nurse. was busily engaged in the

not until one has lived in the Territory
long enough to understand that some
hidden force is at work among the
..Oorer classes, not untu one begins
to delye beneath the surface to find
the fount from which this sympathe-
tic assistance flows, that the exist
ence OF the Palaml Settlement. with
its staff of modest hard working as
sistants, is brought to life. That so
little is heard OF the work of this
admirable institution is due to the
fact that those interested in the we'll
being of the under world Of Honolulu
are content TO perform their charit-
able works silently and effectively,
without the blare-of trumpets and the
clashing of cymbals. All they need
are the sinews of war with which to
carry on the campaign against sick
ness and ignorance, and "a generous
public, ever ready to respond to legi-
Innate demands for assistance, has
in the past cheerfully supplied the
requisite funds. The Palama Settle
ment has undoubtedly justified its ex-
istence; of that there cannot be the
slightest doubt in the minds of those
who have been fortunate enough to
have inspected the settlement and
who have had its aims explained and
the results already achieved placed
before them by incontroyertible eYi
dence,
The steady growth of this institu-
ton, the extensive scope of its opera
tions, and the success which it has
already attained are eloquent testi-
mony of its utility. But the time
has arrived when the Trustees of
this commendable institution have to
consider seriously the need for fur

Just inside the entrance stands a
wooden chapel, used for religious ser
vices on Sunday and as school room
during the week Workmen were
even then employed making extern
sve alterations to the editice which
had been bodily turned round, so as
to face the street, it being found some

there being nothing whatever in the
buildings or their fixtures savouring
of elegance. All were neat and clean
and seemed to answer the purposes
for which they were used, but there
was nothing lavish; rather the re-
verse in fact.
To the north west the spacious
gymnasium with the enclosed bath,
meeting rooms under construction, and
athletic appliances is situated and
though such building as this might
seem a trile out of place in an in
stitution of this nature, the benefits
derived from it are far-reaching in

months. In 1909 fou rnurses were
employed, now there are nine; three
dispensaries were maintained last
year. now there are six; on an ever
age there were 300 cases monthly un-
der the care of the department last
year, for the past six months the aver
age was 500 per month; the average
treatments and dressings last year
was 1415 per month, during the past
six months this figure has risen to
1885,. These figures are eloquent. 1t
is unnecessary to dilate further upon
the growth of this important section.
One has only to consider the relief
which the poor people have gained
from this department to realize it's
utility The nurses are kept hard at
work all the time, and are ever ready
to extend a helping hand to the poor
and needy. No inconvenience is too
great; they place their work before
all else and are often to be found
working after hours to afford relief.
During thE past six months each
nurse averaged over 1920 cases per
month, necessitating an average of
| 1858 visits per month. The city is
divided into seven districts, each
nurse having charge of one district
under general supervision from head
quarters. In addition to treating pa
tients direct from the dispensaries
many cases are sent to the hospitals
! or handed over to the care of practis-
ing physicians. 1t is the practise of
the Settlement to extend every help
to those in distress but where it is
apparent that a patient can pay, a
charge for medicine is made or the
patient is handed over to a doctor.
The average number handed over to
doctors during the past six months
was " per month: and on a average
20 per month were sent to hospitals.

and men take up one side of the bath
the rest of the room being free from
distractions. The water in the bath
is obtained from an artesian source
and in order to ensure perfect clean
illness it is changed daily. Upstairs
is a gymnasium, fifty seven by eighty
five feet in extent, in which there are
dumb bells, Indian clubs, calesthenic
poles, tTapeze rings, parallel bars,
vaulting horse, ETC., while on the floor
o baseball diamond is marked out.
From the end of the gymnasium can
be seen the sixteen model cottages
which take up the north eastern cor
ner If the Settlement. These cot
tages are modest in appearance, quite
in keeping with the type of cottages
the poorer classes occupy, but they
are so neatly kept that they stand out
! in distinct contrast to the shanties
which abound in this locality. One
of the cottages is set apart for the
classes in domestic science, one
of the features of the institution
which is conducted by Mrs. Rath and
Miss Fisher. To the north of the
Settlement is small garden where
vegetables are grown and this
is utilized by the instructor:
to instill into the children attending
the classes a knowledge of useful gar
dening.
Passing to the rear of the gymna
SUM and towards the south, we came
upon the childrens' playground. A
the moment of our visiting it, five
tiny tots were disporting themselves
on the green sward, and two or three
others were trimming over with plea
sure AS they swung to and fro on the
swing. Here there is shute, a cou
pie of swings, and several other APP
I urtanences without which play

could be enlarged seven-fold and still
be none too extensive.
Of the progress of the institution
since it was founded in 1896 littl
need be said in this article. The com
prehensive review published in tn
last annual report contains all the in
formation on that score. From a smal
chapel the institution has grown al
most beyond knowledge, certainly be
yond recognition.

chase the land Immediately adioin-
ing the Settlement on the Eva side,
which is at present leased and to
construct a new administrative build
/ ing, it is not expected that these ex-
tensions and construction work will
cost more than $4,000. In front of
| the land now leased by the Settlement
are a number of tenement houses,
which, viewed from the rear, are the
reverse of sanitary, all light being
shut off from the interiors by reason
of the shacks which have been erected
on the various verandahs. 1t is pro-
posed to acquire these tenements, en-
tirely renOvate them and let the rooms
as lodgings for single men. No de-
finite plans to carry out these sug-
gestions have been formulated, owing
to the political campaign occupying
attention to the exclusion of all else,
| but now that the horizon has cleared,
steps will be taken to arrange pre-
liminaries.
1t will no doubt be news to even
those interested in the welfare of the
Settlement to find that between seven
and eight hundred people are con-
rected with the institution in some
way or the other. There are kinder
gartens for children, classes for both
boys and girls, day as well as night
classes; clubs; classes for women
sewing, dresmaking and domestic
science; and many other departments
which attract the poorer classes. In
the sewing class there are ninety
nine pupils, with an average attend
i ance of siXty-five, but this remak-
ably high average is not attained in
some of the other classes, for dress
making and domestic science only at
tract on an average fifteen to twenty
. l'upils.

about all that is provided for the

In Joseph L. Kings History OF the
San Francisco Stock and Exchange
Board" is this story Of Flood and
Sherwood:
In the early days, In the seventies,
quite number of operators would
gather together In Cahlll's Office on
Montgomery street near California.
Among them were MIR. james c. Flood
and Mfr. Robert Sherwood. Sherwood
had 1000 Consolidated virginia. the
stock selling at about 500. -One day
Sherwood. on looking at the prices,
remarked that he was getting tired Of
that Consolidated virginia; II did not
move much. MIR. Flood said: what
are you growing aboutp II you are
tired Of that stock | will take II OF
your hands at 500" "sold." said
Sherwood. and the stock changed
hands.
In course OF time the Nevada bank
building was erected on the corner OF
Pine and Montgomery streets. On
meeting Sherwood one day MIR. Flood
remarked. I'VE built that Nevada
block on the profits OF that 1000 shares
OF Consolidated virginia you sold u.s."
subsequently. IN the Sierra Nevada
and Union deal, Mr.. Flood approached
Sherwood on the street and bought
from him 5000 Union at $500 n share,
the transaction footing up Si.000000.
Sherwood built the Union block, on
the gore corner Of Pine. Davis and

day. he remarked, Il built that Uulon
