LESSEN ARRESTS
Plan Unfolded to Mothers Congress
and Parent Teachers
Association.

A practical method for the elimination
Of crime amongschiIdren was introduced
at a Joint meeting Of the Parent-Teach-
srs' Association and the Congress OF
Mothers yesterday afternoon at the
Cairo, by Mrs. Fred Dubois. According
10 Mrs. Dubois, her plan could be ac-
complished with but little difficulty.
She advocates the division of the Dis
srict into subdistricts, comprising the
territory surrounding the public schooes.
Each Of these districts could be SUPER
vised, she asserts, by the ministers,
teachers and parents who could keep in
louch with each child and provide legit-
mate amusement SO the number of de-
iinquents would be greatly reduced in
4 short time.
'.The object of this meeting" said Mrs
Dubois, lis 10 hit upon some feasible
plan whereby the number of child ar
rests may be diminished. This end can
be accomplished only by hard work, and
[ appeal to the ministers, parents, and
teachers of Washington to enlist in
such a good cause. OF course, some
localities harbor more delinquent chill
L en- than others, and residents of such
communities interested in the welfare of
children could volunteer their services
where they are most needed"

HALElwA FOR MINE.

Hundreds of persons went away for
the weekend and enjoyed themselves
and many more went to Haleiwa and
had a time that will occupy a place
Iamong the pleasant events stored in
the memory with the events of 1911.
Good weather, better dance and a
dinner such as is served back East
were among the featres of Saturday
and Sunday, and Monday follows with
a "repast." As a place for the week
end Haleiwa has won more advocates
and during the year 1912 it is to be
the choice of persons who want good
times near at home. The climate is
pleasant and the beach the best in the
islands. The same is to be said of the
golf links. Since the establishment OF
the post at Leilehua the dances at
Haleiwa partake of service functions
and are the centers of fashionable
people.
