While the Juvenile Bestonians were
on Maui they were put up in the
bungalows in lao Valley where Mine
Host Field has the Maui Hotel an
mex Everyone who has been there
knows the location and the beautiful
surroundings; how the mountain
peaks soar above the roofs of the
little cottages, piercing the clouds so
that it requires but little imagination
to transpose the cottages to Switzer
land for everything is there but the
snow.
1t was a great temptation for the
girls and the desire to learn natural
history, botany and what not took
such firm possession of four of them
that they cast discretion to the kinds
and ate literally of green kukui nuts
That night a doctor prescribed for
them and now the girls say they will
try no more Hawaiian fruits or nuts

TheiI tour has been a succession Of

and girls the problem is not so much
on the surface. ] have only Just be-
gun my investigation this morning,
although have spoken Of it num-
Der of times before, should like to
tell you what ] am planning to do.
This survey which the Board of Di-
rectors of Kaiulani Home has asked
Mr.. Rath and me to direct will en-.
brace five studies: first, the depend
ent children, in charge of a commit,
tee under the Craftsmanship of Mrs.
Walter Dillingham;. Mrs. Dillingham;
has already secured information con-
corning the facilities for caring for
children in institutions, and viii now
take up the study of the children who
have been placed out by the Juvenile
Court and the children who are re-
Ceiving aid from any charitable instf
tuition. In this way we hope to get
a picture of all the families in Homo
lulu who have reached the breaking
point economically, to learn what is
actually happening to the children
who have been received into families
of. which they are not members, and
what is the status of these families
themselves. SO much for dependent
children.
Second the investigation into the
industrial condition Of women and
girls will have for its object study
first OF the home life of the working
girl; second, a study of her opportun-
tiles for employment and her working
environment and conditions, and
third, study of recreations and
amusements at present enjoyed by
her and available for her use.
Mrs. f. NJ. SWanzy, Chairman.
This study will be made with the
/ help of committee under the chair
manship of Mrs. Francis NJ. Swanzy.
The other three departments Of the
Investigation will be made under the
direction of Mr. Rath, and in closing
/ should like to say that / shall be
glad to answer any questions con-
corning the work on points / have not
made clear. S
Your Honolulu survey is unique in
that we have such small corps of
trained workers on it, and shall be
glad to have the help of every person
who is interested. should like to
speak on one more point before I
close: In making a Survey there are
always, on the very nature of the
thing, large number of specific
cases which are turned up and which
need attention at once. With trained
investigators in charge of all depart-
ments of the work, the handling of
these cases is not such complicated
matter, but in this instance they will
come to the attention of five commit.
tees composed of volunteer helpers,
and we have therefore felt the need
of special committee to which all Of
these cases may be referred, and who
in tlrn will ehfer them to- the eStab-
