Kukui, $500 feet the highest
mountain in West Maui, had al
ready been ascended by Mr.. Stewart
and he was determined to conquer
Exc befor leaving the islands. Just
year ago Stewart and Jimmie
Myers ascended Kukui. Myers was
not with the party last Wednesday
ahd he is bemoaning the fact.
The party that climbed Exc
height 4,500 feet had to first ascend
the high ridge that towers over the
ditch, intake at Honokohau. Then
for some mites, the mountaineers
made their way till they reached
the fort of the final climb up Exc.
The actual climb up the last
stretch was made in good time and
the underground on the side of the
mountain helped out lot.
Upon reaching the summit the
party found that there is a regular
plateau or table top of some thirty
acres or so. There is depression
in the middle of the plateau and
water holes around. There is much
wet, buggy ground also.
The explores feel very satisfied
with their jert. Few if any, people
have ever ascended Exc before.
There were signs of an old trail
but party that made the ascent on
Wednesday last cleaned a new trail
for future mountain climbers.

Game Tied
Fun At Puunene Was Fast And
FuriOus-Antiques And Horri-
bles Played Ball.

There was fun galore at Puunene
last Saturday night, and the big
crowd that visited the hospitable
headquarters of the H c. q S. Co.
had a good time. The whole affair
was a great success and both the
baseball game and the dance were
splendid.
The ball game was "A scream from
start to finish and when umpire
Kenneth Smith declared the game
tie 2 to 2, the fun reached the
limit.
The Masons and the Elks are so
closely related that one team could
not possibly defeat the other. In
fact the decisions were SO that if a
man did attempt to steal home from
first, he was always stopped by a
revolver shot from the pitcher. The
home plate was sacred.
The players were attired in all
sorts of clothes, and some of the
costumes were very funny. The
antcis of the Antiques and Horri-
bles were very amusing.
Any old thing in the way of bats
vents and the sack attendants wore
gloves of any sort. The fielders
had bicycles and other helps to
gal her in the ball.
AS soon as the game" ended,
the crowd wended its way to the
Puunene Clubhouse where very
enjoyable dance was held. The ex-
cellent quintet was assisted by
an imported band" The "band''
was the limit. However, every
body enjoyed a good time.

RED CROSS STAMP.

What were recently called little
Red Angels of Mercy" in Homo
lulu are coming to Maui according
to notice just received by the
MAUI News from the Anti-Tubercu-
losis League in the capital city.
For several years the sale of the
Red Cross Seals in the interests
of the campaign against the great
white plague has been an annual
Christmas event in the Territory,
but heretofore Honolulu has been
about the only place of sale. This
time part of the four hundred
thousand that have just arrived will
be sent to Maui and sold here.
These little stamps are printed
by the American Red Cross Society
and tens of millions are sold every
year in the United States. So pre-
valent has their use become in hoi-
day time, indeed that few letters go
through the Chistmas mails nova
day without Red Cross Seal riding
on the back of the enevelope A
decision of the postal authorities
last year prevents their use on the
address side of the envelope anymore
as the foreign posts kicked about
having to handle them
The College Club, the association
of Honolulu society and club women
that has been such factor for good
in the capital are already organizing
for the sale of the stamps and will
make a one weeks campaign of it
from December 2 to 5. No word
has been received here yet as to
what methods of sale will be adopt
ed in this county.
These stamps are penny apiece
and the total results of the sale
should be in the neighborhood OF
$4,000. This sum will be placed in
the extension fund of the Anti
tuberculosis League which is de-
voted to the extension of the cam
paign against this disease outside
of Honolulu and to other nationali-
ties beside the English speaking
residents. The counties other
than Honolulu will therefore be the
chief beneficiaries of the sale.

able cleavage of opinion upon this
subject between certain OF the edu-
cational authorities and a consider
able amount of heat was generated. {.
Miss Hubbard of Puunene treated
the extensive subject of Drawing"
from grades l to VIII in a very
acceptable manner and illustrated
herremarks with su table specimens.
Her paper insisted on subjects being
topical in character and also on the
early introduction of color effects
by means of shading, chalk, crayons,
and water colors.
Mr.. Copeland opened his paper
on First Steps in Penmanship"
by prefxing a remark referring to
a certain nervousness which af-
flicted him when addressing a
teachers meeting" Considering
that Mr.. Copeland is one of the
most battle SCARED veterans in the
Islands this caused considerable
amusement. The supervisor dwelt
chiefly on three main points in the
early development towards the
pupils ability to write. These
will doubtless afford much help to
the primary teachers. The super
vising principal of Hana-Mr. Tay.
lor-exhibited some remarkably
fine specimens of writing done by
pupils of Miss Katherine Case
first grade.
| Mr.. Hardy concluded the work
by resume of the work done or
the Panama Canal.

One of the most successful Teach
ers' meetings of the Maui Asssocia-
ton took place at the Wailuku
School on the 9th inst. with an at
tendance of 80 teachers besides

and an inspiration to the many
teachers who heard it. Discipline
is a matter of such vital Importance
in it's relation to school work that
it was proposed to have this paper
printed for the benefit of those not
present.
Mrs. Jones next contributed a
solo in her own inimitable style
and responded to vigorous applause
with an encore two'step song
with such remarkable tune and
energy that many OF the listeners
feet were soon going in unison to

The academic work was then re-
sumed by Mrs. Cooper with paper
on the mach discussed. .Montessori

If the lack OF comment is any
criterion as to the ability of a paper
these must must have been perfect
as not voice was raised after either.
Physiology in the High Grades
was then presented by Miss Couch,
and in the short discussion which
followed the necessity for practical
work was insisted on. 1t is possible
that teachers may get several valua'
ble hints in this direction from the
