weeks past the gymnasium committee
of the Alexander House, together with
those most deeply interested in tns
welfare of this splendid institution in
Wailuku, have been in consultation
over the details of management OF
classes, hours for the men and wom-
en-, and work for the children.
Up to within a short time the chill
dren have been in the habit of attend
! ing the Alexander House Settlement
in the evenings, being in classes and
! playing games in the two front rooms
of the Settlement House proper After
the curfew law was in operation in
| Maui, the children could no longer
come to evening classes, so their work
was transferred entirely to the after
noon classes in the gymnasium, and
their hours are indicated in the APP
! pended schedule.
The work for the children in the
future as in the past will be entirely
under the management of the Alex
ander House Settlement head worker.
The hours have been so arranged that
the boys can come to the gymnasium,
: and under the direction of the head
] worker will have classes either under
her or under the business manager of
r the institution. 1t is expected that
these classes will be larger than ever
before.
+ The work for the men and women,
: and the young men who are members,
, will be confined entirely to the gym
nasium committee, which is made up
of five Wailuku citizens, who have the
direction of all of the work for the.
men and women who desire to join.
At present the membership of the
men totals over fifty, and the com.
plete enrolment of adults is over
. seventy. 1t is expected that the mem
n bership will soon reach the hundred
IS mark Each member is working hare
IS for other members. The dues are sc
IS reasonable that it is expected tina
e there will be no difficulty in keepinf
up the enrolment to hundred eacl
year. Splendid provision Is made fol
transients, who will find at the gym
nasium one of the best bowling alleys
= in the Territory.
