pupils passed beyond the Fourth
grade is also a mistane. Nature
Study was the second time intro
duced into the course of study in
1897. The percentage of pupils
above the Fourth grade in 1896 was
$50, in 1897, the percentage rose
to 1882; in 1899, it was 1870.
Now, it might be contended that
this improvement Was due to the
introduction of Nature Study into
our schools. But the reason for the
change is much simpler. In 1896,
the Fifth grade used the Third
Reader; in 1897, the Fifth grade
began the Second Reader. Again
in 1905, when a new course of study
was adopted prescribing the Fifth
Reader for the Fifth grade, the per-
centage of the pupils above the
Fourth grade fell from 1859 in
1904 to 9.19o in 1906. The per-
centage has been going up ever
since and in 1911, it was over 149o
again.
1t is evident that considerable
progress was made in the eight
years since it was deemed possible
to raise the requirements in reading
in the Fifth grade from the Second
Reader in 1897 TO the Fifth Reader
in 1905.
Mr.. Copeland has the wrong point
of view entirely in regard to Nature
Study. He seems to think the
teacher is required to teach the
child botany and agriculture when
the Course of Study says, PLANT
and observe the taro, the rice, the
bean, etc." or that he must be an
entomologist to lead the children in
studying the life history of the
wasp, dragon-fly, mosquito, etc."

There will be great time down
at Puunene this evening, and not
only will baseball game be played
on the tennis courts, by electric
light, but dance will also be given.
The affair promises to be unique
and the Maui fans will be able to

Masons.
[ There are a number of players
among the Elks and the Masons of
Maui, and it is whispered that the
team that wins tonight will chal-
lenge the All-Chinese nine, cham
pions of the Territory!
1t is going to be one big joy burst
this evening, and from the time the
first ball is pitched till the dance
that follows the game, is ended
there will be nothing but fun.
The ball game should prove to be
funniest thing seen on Maui for
years, and the men who are to take
part in the struggle have been train
ing hard for months past. Billy
Tougher and Wren Wescoatt are
wonderful pitchers, and they will
do most Of the twirling tonight. 1t
is rumored that "Bill" has pan"
ball that will make the batters sit
up and take notice.
The Rowing Club will benefit by
the proceeds of this evenings ball
game and dance and, as the tickets
are only one dollar each. there is
sure to be a big attendance.
The music will be the very best,
and an imported band will assist
the best Quintet on Maui to keep
things going.

Rival Teams
For Tonight

Now that the lineups up Of the
two ball teams that are to battle il
out Electic Light, on the Puunene
courts tonight, are known, more
interest than ever is being shown
in the coming struggle. The play
ers will be as follow: Masons-D.

that among the foregoing names
there are men who have, in the
dark past, played baseball in some
of the largest of our American cities,
and who have paid tribute to the
leading league tenn teams OF
America.
The game promises to be full OF
sensational plays and large score
is inevitable, just which side will
get the score is in doubt, but the
odds are being offered of 100 to /

EDITOR MAUI News.
Dear Sir:


Dear Sir:
Mr.. Copeland, Willingly or un-
Willingly, made several mistakes in
his article in the MAUI News of the
End inst.
He stated that the course of study
as revised and worked out in detail
by the Supervising Principals, last
May, contained no Nature Study.
Now, the original copy of that
course of study together with the
letter Of transmittal, signed by all
the supervising principals is on file
and does contain a full outline in
Nature Study.
The Commissioners appointed a
committee to revise and prepare the
manuscript for the printer. The
members OF this committee were
Mr.. j. G. Davis, Mr.. H. H. Brodie,
Mr.. H. M. Wells, Miss Bertha Ben
Taylor, and the Inspector of
Schools, ex-officio, Chairman. The
majority of this committee decided
to change the heading Nature Study
to Home Geography and cnt out
some Of the detailed work recon-
mended by the supervising princi-
pals, SO that the course as approved
and authorized by the Commission
ers contains less work in Nature
Study under the heading Home
Geography" than that submitted
by the supervising principals with
the recommendation to the Commits
sioners to adopt the same and to
that recommendation is attached
the signature of G. E. Copeland.

No less sum than S555 was taken

The bazaar was held last Satur-

people attended. A special train
was run from Puunene and Kahu-

keep many people away.
There were many beautiful things
on sale and the stalls were cleared
out at an early hour.
