LIHUE CHURCH
EASTER SERVICE

The Easter Service at the Lihue
Union church Sunday morning
was more than usually interesting
and effective.
The church was beautifully and
profusely decorated in white and
green lilies the feathery bamboo

bouquet of Culla lilies given by
Mrs, c H. Rice was specially ad.
mired, The appropriate Solo II
know that my Redeemer Livith"
was most effectively rendered by
Mrs. VIM, Henry Rice. A modest
but singularly sweet and restful
anthem by the choir relieved the
more Juhilant Easter hymn-which
were rendered much more inspiring
by the violin accompaniment of
Mrs. F, L. Putnam.
The address dwelt on the signi-
icance ofthe vitality of Christianity
as justification of its origin.

TIE PASSION TIDE
SERVICES INSPIRING

The special passion tide services
were more than usually inspiring
and helpful and more than usually
we'll attended this year. They
were quietly devotional III tone of
a highly intelligent and profound
ly suggestive character, reaching
down to the deepest things of life.
Instead of dealing with the more
or less hackneyed themes Of super.
fetal religion, they dwelt on the
deeper interests that are vital to
all thinking people whatever their
belief or lack of it. The interest
eliminated II the Good Friday
Service when the audience wa s
held spell-bound and in tears by
the portrayal Of Divine Love as
typiiied by the Shunamite woman
and her sttiken suffering child,
Such reverent and inspiring me,
ditation cannot help being a solace
and a benediction to the feverish
trend of life even here at the far
ends Of the earth.

COUNTY FATHERS
PROVIDE A HOME

Probably h most important
transaction which has ever taken
place in Lihue since the creation
of County Government, was the
purchasing of town site for ne
Lihue, by the County Fathers at
their meeting last Wednesday
morning.
The newly acquired property,
embraces a five, acre tract of land
beginning at the lower side of the
Lihue Park, the same now being in
cane which will be harvested at
once, in order to expedite preparat-
ions for the construction of county
buildings.
The county paid five hundred
dollars per acre for its share in the
new town site, and it is understood
that some handsome structures will
shortly be built thereon. A court
house, Jail, county Offices and an
upper story with large hall facili-
ties, are said to be among the pos
sibilities.
Surveyors will shortly be put to
work on the laying ont of town
lots along the makai side of Main
Street, and the prospects for a
real estate boom in Lihue are at
present exceedinly promising.

LIHUE'S EASTER SERVICES

A tragedy was narrowly averted
last Thursday night, when freight
train No. '23" of the Lihue and
Hanamaulu division ran over a COW
which had apparently attempted to
ross the bridge which spans the
Hanamaulu River near Hanarnaulu
1t the dizzy height of nearly two
hundred feet.
The train pulled out of Llhue.
empty shortly after eight o'clock.
On approaching the Hanamaulu
bridge, Engineer Figueira brought
his engine to the usual speed, and
o his carefulness in so doing, pro-
oably the entire train crew owes its
life. He had scarcely entered the
bridge when his engine was OBJ
served to be acting strangely. He
applied the breaks but before the
engine could be brought to a full
stop, the front wheels had been
lifted from the track. A hurried
investigation revealed the remains

in clearing the track without con-
siderable delay. Had the engine

have resulted. The engine was
slightly damaged.

TO RECEIVE CREDIT.
Work of County Normal Graduates
Approved by Higher Institu-
tons of Learning.

The county Normals have SO EN-
phatic ally proven their efficiency that
there is growing demand for the
popular training schools of rural
teachers. AS a result, higher stand
ards for these institutions are being
required and this year minimum en-
rollment limit has been fixed by the
Department of Public Instruction. A
county Normal will be discontinued
whenever less than ten students dec
lare their intention of taking advan-
tage OF the opportunities offered.
This ruling will affect few, if any
counties, however, as the institutions
are almost universally popular and the
interest as well as the attendance is
increasing each year throughout the
state.
That effective work is being done
in the county Normals is demon
strated by the fact that their gradu-
ateS now receive eight units OF adj
vanced credit at any of the state Nor
nal schools, making it possible for
them to complete their work for a
life certificate in one year and sum
mer term. The University of Michi-
gan will also allow II hours adj
vanced credit which amounts practic-
ally to half a years work. In both
cases, the county normal graduate
must have previously completed their
secondary training in an approved
high school before taking the Normal
work. This makes it possible for a
student to remain at home, saving
considerable expense, secure three
years rural certificate. subject to a
renewal and reduce the length OF the
time demanded in the higher institu-
tons Of learning
The great majority OF the county
Normal school graduates enter the
teaching ranks and few fail to make
good The standard of the rural
schools has been decidedly raised III
all communities where these schools
are located and the more progressive
school boards now refuse to hire un-
trained teachers This fact together
with the better wages that the county
| Normal graduates can obtain, the adj
vanced credit given graduates in tho
state schools. and the strong posi-
bility that the next legislature will
pass a law requiring all inexperienced
teachers to have some Normal train
ing. insures for the coming year the
