That the present building is I'M
safe can be readily seen by anyone
who would care to make the Investi
Cation. While the supports which
hold the building off the ground are
in fairly good condition. the planks
which hold the supports in place are
rotten. Great pieces Of the rotten
wood can be easily torn out by hand
When application was made some
time ago to have this condition
remedied, some workmen were sent
up and, instead of replacing the Old
supports, they simply nailed boards
over the rotten places.
Perhaps the most glazing instance
of sanitary laxity on the grounds are
the toilets for the use Of the pupils.

to become any better The latrine
which is used by the boys, and which
is now located in their building, was
formerly on the outside, but through
the efforts of the teacher, the removal
to the inside was made. The two
buildings are about six feet apart and
there is little privacy. Although,
when they were erected, the pits were
dug down to the sand level, this was
all that was done to improve the
sanitary conditions. 1t seems that at
least one of the buildings could be

They are surrounded by a mass of
weeds and grass and are continually
endangering the health of the pupils.
The board of education has asked
the legislature for an appropriation of
$1,000 for the erection of a two-room

the present building. AS it now
stands, however, there can be no pos
sible relief for the school this year,

It Has Features
No Other Car Possesses

81.
Consider for a moment the rapid advance
ment that has been made in motor car building.
1t is almost as startling as are the changes in
fashion, Think how strange are the open cars of
two years ago What proportion of their original
cost do you think such cars now bring? 1t is
not due to wear that their value has declined so
much. No, it is the advance that has been made
lii automobile building since the open cars were
put on the market.
With that thought in mind you must rec:
ognize the Importance of choosing wisely now.
Automobiles as now built shoIld be Of service for
many years and you don't want to feel that you
will have to buy new Car in two, three or four
years because the one you have just purchased
will, at that time, be out Of date.

Don't Fail to See This Car-lt is Here

In the HUDSON "37" is expressed the COM
bned skill and experience of the greatest body
of automobile engineers in the country
These men represent the training of the
greatest factories in the world. They have
learned what experience has taught the 81 prin-
cipal makers OF Europe and America.
They were active, important members Of
those various organizations and, combined, had
hand in the production of more than 200 900
automobiles.
Imagine what strides, what advancement,
men of such experience are bound to offer in the
Car which all have joined in perfecting.
You probably have an ideal of what motor
car should be. Your knowledge of automobile
shortcomings undoubtedly has suggested
Improvements which you would have in a Car
if it were built to your order.
Well, here is where you will find not only
what you wish to see, bat also what has been
expressed through the experience that has been
gained from the 200, 600 owners who have used
the cars which these men have helped to build.

How Japan Does It
On lot adjoining the Manoa
school stands the Japanese Buddhist
school, a small building but in perfect
repair This school has large win
dOws, two big class rooms and every
arrangement for the admission of
fresh air and light. Two large tanks
supply the school with water and the
out houses are clean and in first-class
condition. This building is twenty
feet wide and forty feet long, divided
into two separate class rooms; there
are smaller buildings on the outside
which also serve as clasS-rooms when
the occasion arises. Thirty-four chill
dren attend this school from two
o'clock until five O'Clock in the after
noon, and fourteen large double
benches and four smaller ones seat
them all comfortably. This is strictly
Japanese school and is presided
over by a single teacher.
The matter of improving the con-
dition of the schOolhouse was brought
before a meeting of the Manoa I'M
provement Club last Monday night at
which time IS was decided to take
action in securing a new building. All
efforts from the Manoa residents to
get help from ne department of pub
lie instruction have been met with
the answer, they say, 60 to the
board of supervisors" 1t is hoped
that the new board of supervisors,
which will have charge of the matter
of repairing all school buildings, will
look into the present condition of the
school and do something toward get
ting a new building and improving
the insanitary conditions.

What one man lacked in experience, some Of his
associates was able to supply. The problems
unable to solve, others soon found the answer for.
