FLORAL PARADE
IS SHAPING Up

Director Wall and his Aides in
the 1912 floral Parade are gradual
ly getting the many details of the
big undertaking in o splendid
shape.
Last week marked progress in
all branches of the Parade and the
various committees are finally get
ting the results needed for a sue
cessful event. Director Wall s
plans include a Colonial Ball that
twill be one of the social features
FIf the season. This Ball will be
held at the Young Hotel OH the
night of Feb 22. Announcement
will be made within a few days as
to the committee that is to arrange
the affair. The list of Patronesses
will include the most prominent
folk of Honolulu. The Colonial
Ball will round up two nights
and a day of Hawaii's continuous
festivities.
The full program of the Floral
Parade was announced by Director
Wall this week. 1t includes the
production of "pinafore" and the
Water Carnival on the evening of
Feb. 21, the Military Parade on
the morning of Feb. %, the Floral
Parade in the afternoon ending
with the Japanese Lantern Parade
in the evening to be followed by
the Colonial Ball.
Energetic committees have these
various parts of the program in
hand and are working on the de-
tails. What is needed most of all
are additional entries or the
Floral Parade Section. NJ II y
owners of cars in Honolulu have
volunteered to come forward and
have promised to put in their cars,
nWhile many others are holding
back; prefering to watch the parade
y from the side. That is natural
fbut Director Wall emphasizes the
fact that it is up to the people OF
Honolulu to cooperate, particular
ly in the matter of decorated auto
mobiles and he hopes that the
spirit of cooperation will be
stronger h a n the pleasure O
watching the Parade from the side
lines, as it were.
Mrs, J. M. Dowsett is chairman
of the committee on decorated
automobiles and the various mem
bers of her committee are doing
their best to secure a record list o
entries. They have done thei
work up with the greatest enthu
siasm and now it is up to th'
owners themselves to do the rest
The Float section of the Parad'
will be the most attractive, un
doubtedly, of all the many attrac
tive sections past events have dis
played.
Prospects for entries from tn
other islands are better than eve
Rsefore. The Inter Island Com
pany is making an offer of hal
rates for autos entered i II tn
Floral Parade, that is, that far
will be charged only one way
The outside entries will be fea
tured this year as never before.

A Pretty Musicale

Mrs. Carter gave one OF her de-
lightful musicales last Thursday
afternoon, invitations having been
issued to parents and friends of
the pupils that they might enjoy
the treat which was in store for
them. Decorations consisted of a
profusion of shasta daisies and
pink carnations.
The children did beautifully,
the entire program being carried
out with perfect ease and grace.
Miss Dora Broadbent, in trio
of pianofortes, acquitted herself
midst high praises. Clement S
Sonatina,' was played in a
masterful manner, while special
mention must be made to another
which was filled with beautiful
expression. The piece was from
the Impromptu (Rosamond.) The
ease with which Miss Dora con-
trolled the most difficult parts,
showed a technique of which many
older persons might feel justly
proud.
The pianoforte solo by Miss
Edith Rice, entitled Sweet Eve
lyn waltz, was executed with
splendid precision, while "A Lei
sure Hour" one of the young la
dy's favorites, was played with a
rounded out expression which dis
played a degree Of skill rarely
developed in one so young,
The vocal selections were spright-
ly little expressions which were
rendered with excellent expression
the enuciation being particularly
clear.
Little four -year-old Charlotte
Eileen Carter, Mrs. Carter's mos
youthful pupil, covered herself will
distinction in rendering four verses
of a pretty little action song EN-
titled All for Baby
After the conclusion of the very
pleasing program, small table
daintily decorated with pink car
nations were set for refreshments
on the lanai.

Suggestions in Regard to Selee.
ton of Books for School
Library

For the primary grades til e
books should be selected largely
from sets of readers for primary
grades, 81 mple stories, fables,
myths, etc.
For more advanced grades books
on travel, history, biography,
poems, natural history, etc. as
we'll as books of reference should
be added to the library.
In all school Libraries some
books which are helpful to the
teacher in carrying out the re-
quirements of the course of study
should be found such as Com
stocks Manual for Study of SIN
sects. Tarr & McMurry's Geo
graphies, lie Conte's Elements of
Geology, Elementary Lessons in
Zoology, Classic myths, etc.
Following these suggestions,
each principal may select from a
list of books authorized by the
Department, such books as are
suitable for his school, the cost of
which will be within the amount
apportioned to that particular
school, and submit the same to
this Department. If any principal
fails to make a list of books for
his school or the list is not received
in time to make up the order, the
Department will select the books
for that school.
The books will be ordered from
this Office and shipped to the
schools.

LIBRARY BOOKS
FOR SCHOOLS

According to late advice to Su-
pervisor Brodie, the variou
school Libraries are to be allowed
extra funds with which to purchase
new books, the allotment being
based on certain conditions. The
communication received by Mr..
Brodie is as follows:
Method of apportioning III
Library Fund among the several
counties and the different schools
in each county.
First: Apportion the total sum
$4,000 among the several counties
on the basis of school enrolment.
City & County of Honolulu Sl332
County of Hawaii 1883
County of Maui 612
County of Kauai 468
The distribution of the sum ap-
portioned to each county among
the several schools Of that county
is based on the following:
A primary pupil, l unit;
grammar pupil, 2 units; and a
high or normal pupil, q units.
The value of one unit is fou q
by dividing the total sum, $1,000
by the total number of children
enrolled June %, 1911, which is
about S.l712; the value Of two
units will be SIS and the value of
four units $40.
First find the amount to be al.
lowed the number of high or nor
NAL pupils in each school in the
county and subtract the sum of
these several amounts from the
amount apportioned to the county.
Next find the amount to be al
lowed for the number of grammar
grade pupils in each school and
subtract the total from the amount
remaining in the fund after the
apportioned has been made for
high and normal pupils.
Lastly the remainder is to be
divided pro rata among the schools
according to the number of pri-
mary pupils in each school.
The sum of the amounts appor-
toned to the primary, grammar
and high and normal pupils in
each school will be the total
amount of the library fund for
that school.

up to telephone wires on the nam

dead before Sheriff Johnson arrived
from Sallisaw. The men had dispers-

wore masks.
Afterward Mrs Casey was taken
back to Muldrow and she identified
the dead negro as the one who had
killed her husband and committed the
assault upon her person. The womb,

The throwing of the switch and the
derailment of the engine which me
negro had stolen and was madly rus1-
ing along the tracks prevented the
engine from certain collision with an
eastbound passenger train which was
due in Muldrow few minutes later.
In fact it was pulling into MuldroW
at the time and was slowing down,
but the runaway engine would have
crashed into it had its course not
been diverted The eastbound train
was the Kansas City express, and was
heavily loaded with passengers.

all the switches were properly set
for the engine to run from the yard
out on to the main line. It was rot
noticed until the runaway was leaving
the outside limits of the yard Then
an alarm was spread but there was
no chance to stop the engine or throw
it to switch until it had reached
Muldrow.
The negro, it is believed, had no
idea except to escape when he de
serted the engine. lie feared arrest
for his act in running away with the
engine, although the motive in that
only can be imagined. After he had
entered the home of the farmer, tie
