new SCHOOL IS

[Spec iaf{ Ster- Bulletia orrespondencel
WAILUKU, Maui Oct. 4.-People
of central Maui are much pleased over
the work done in the schools this
year. The reappointment of Miss
/. Ida Orchard to the Wailuku public
school met with universal favor among
the parents Of the pupils ATTENDING.
Many feared that the enrolment at
this school would not be as large as
usual. because of the opening Of the
new Paia high school. Although many
students from NaiiGku. kahului. AMI
even Paia who formerly attended
Waikiki school have now dropped out
and gone to the new school, yet the
numbers at Wailuku are said to be
larger than ever before. A new build
ing is greatly needed. and it is hoped
by many Of the Wailuku residents
that within year definite steps may
be taken for charging the capacity
of the school to the demands upon it.
1t is now impossible for pupils to
stand in the aisles ar the black boarus
and have others pass them. In fact,
every room has at least fourth
more pupils than ought to be in rooms
the size of those of the Wailuku
school.
The new "Paia High School" So
called. which is located at llamakua-
poke, has picked up in attendance III
til now there are over Scl cnty en-
rolled. The special train that the r..
; hVlui Railroad Company pat on fer
carrying the pupils to that school is
a very great convenience. for EOW

ADJUSTMENTS
"The Firefly"

Piquant Edith Thayer, a small person
with a great deal of vitality and a voice
of surprising volume for a woman of
such diminutive size, captivated two large
audiences at the jefferson theatre yes
terday afternoon and last night in THE
Firefy." The piece is rather more am
bilious than the average operetta or mu-
steal comedy and offers some music of
very pleasing quality, some refined com
edy that has an element of novelty, and
a graceful love story of the usual comic
opera calibre.
Miss Thayer proved to be revelation
to local theatregoers, both as a comedi-
enne and as a singer. She is gifted
artist and admirably adapted to the role
of little Italian girl which she pre-
sents with charming success in THE Fire
fly" The moment she appeared on the
stage of the Jefferson theatre Miss Thay-
er established herself as a favorite and
her subsequent appearances never failed
to bring forth applause.
The company supporting Miss Thayer
in THE Firef1y" is strong vocally and
the various principals without exception
acquitted themselves we'll Irene Samsel

Oglesby Vandare deserve favorable mem
ton. Among the principals who sang

were thus rendered sll the more en-
joyable.

INTERESTING TALKS
MADE AT MEET|NGOF
EQUAL SUFFRAG|STS
Mrs. Wallace Tells of What
California Women Are
Doing With the
Ballot

Several interesting talks were made
at the bimonthly meeting of the Bir-
mingham Equal Suffrage association
with Mrs. Oscar Hundley, president. in
the chair.
Mrs Wallace, who has just returned
from extended trip through Cali
fornia, gave a brief resume of the
progressive movements of the women
of California since the grant of the
franchise to women one year ago. She
gave an interesting talk, and cited
many excellent bills which she said
have been passed by the efforts of wom-
en- in that state, among them being
the procuring of a pension for school
teachers, the increasing of teachers
salaries; the abatement law and other
measures.
Mrs. Quarles spoke of the very salu-
tary physical effect which has already
been produced by the entrance of wom-
en- into active politics in Chicago. She
stated that the housekeeping ability
of woman has manifested itself in con-
ditions in Chicago even at this time,
which is evidenced by the cleaning up
of the police stations and detention
rooms, and measures for the sanitary
disposal of garbage. Mrs Quarels dwelt
upon the probation system practiced in
the police courts of Chicago, the do
mestic relations court, and other in
teresting features along this line.
Miss Ethel Armes read several ar

forth the things that women are do
ing in the states in which suffrage has
been granted.
To Serve Lunches
1t was announced by Mrs Hundley
that after January 1. 1914, lunches will
be served at the headquarters of the
association, where a few cents will pro-
cure sandwich and coffee or tea. This
measure was adopted particularly for
the benefit of the working women. Mrs.
Hundley called for volunteer delegates
to the national convention to be held
in Washington in December, where the
delegates are to appear before con-
gressional committee for the considera-
tion of a federal amendment for wom-
an suffrage. AT this meeting Mrs Solon
Jacobs will make the response to the
address of welcome. Mrs. Hundley and
several other members of the local
chapter will attend.
1t was announced by Mrs. Hundley
that as the player piano contest given
under the auspices of the league was
drawing to a close the interest among
the leading contestants was becoming
acute and that great rivalry was mani
Tested. She stated that the contest has
proven very beneficial to the contest
ants as it was in the nature of well
fare work and that the piano would
not cost the winning institution one
cent.
She states that the count will be
posted daily in the headquarters until
the close of the contest on November
25. The vote yesterday of the seven
leading contestants stood: Neighbor-
hood house, 1880; Anti tuberculosis
association, 1904; Holy Inn6cents hos

taken and posted in the equal suffrage

ton building, 1918 Second avenue.

can be understood by any intelligent per-
son. 1t should be explained. however,
that very many of our citizens are iiiite-
rate and do not readily understand com
munity problems, so that our task Is all
the heavier to make all the people see
the facts, have a letter now on my desk
asking us to take care of negro dying OF
tuberculosis in town of Pickens county.
But there is no reason why Plckens
county cannot take care of its own tuber-
culosis victims It will do so when popu-
lar intelligence there demands 1t. On all
accounts, therefore, l desire to empha-
size the appeal to leading, well-to-do citi-
zens, particularly those outside of Bir-
mingham, Montgomery, Mobile and Tus-
ca1oosa to back us up in the formation
of state association. In the cities
named work has already been organized.
Those who read this are urgently re-
quested to make generous donations to-
wards the expenses of the state work.
1t is the most direct way in which they
can serve their communities.
1.-THE need of money, if Alabama Is to
conquer tuberculosis as other states have
begun to do, is very evident. Maryland.
with one-fourth our area, is spending
more than 100000 year. besides the ap-
preparations of Baltimore and other mu-
inequalities for local work. Baltimore
spends vast sums on preventive measures
and hospitals. Georgia has state sana-
torium and Fulton county leads the
counties of the state in nursing and edu-
cational work, as well as with sanato-
rum. There is also a Georgia State as
sociation now equipped with sufficient
funds to begin educational service in
every county, $4,000 having recently been
donated for this purpose. Alabama has
needs just as great Who is going to
equip her with funds to fight tubercu-
losis? Evidently the proceeds of the sale
of Christmas seals must be vastly en-
larged by private munificence if arrest
of the plague is to be made possible
here.
Again let me underscore the appeal to
the well-to-do, who are not burdened by
heavy taxation, to voluntarily tax them
selves in this great undertaking.
1.-The Southern Express company has
very nobly given us promise to ship our
seals without expense to the various
towns. 1t is a splendid example which
1t is hoped that other corporations will
enthusiastically follow.
Another fine example of commercial
service is in the case of the great street
railway advertising form of which Barron
S. Collier is president. He give the
equivalent of $4,000 to $4,000 in free ad-
vertsng space in the street cars of the
entire country during the seals cam
paign."

ANTLTUBERCULOSIS
WORK IN THE STATE
DIR. Eaves Tells of What Is
Being Done
APPEALS FOR FUNDS
Emphasizes Importance of State As
sociatiOn to Carry on Work on
Larger Scale-Campaign
of Education
APPEALS FOR FUNDS

In discussing the work being done by
the Jefferson County Anti-Tuberculosis
association, the Rev. George Eaves, the
secretary, has the following to say:
"The situation of the movement for a
State Anti-Tuberculosis association is
very interesting. Great progress has been
made. Very few groups of population in
Alabama have failed to respond and
county committees are being rapidly
formed, even in those places which have
hesitated the longest. A splendid organi-
zation has just been completed at An
nston with the Rev. George Lang. who
is the head of the Presbyterian college
there, as secretary. Decatur is equally
fortunate with the Rev. c. F. Cotton, Sec
retary Gadsden is not finally arranged
for Selma is also waiting, but the march
is forward. 1t is. however, sure that
large numbers of people of Alabama fail to
understand how great the undertaking
is or how necessary. 1t may be said that
in states where continuous systematic
work has been done the number of con-
sumptives has been vastly reduced. Since
deaths from tuberculosis have been re-
duced from 30 to 80 per cent in such
areas. In Alabama the progress is micro
scopic because only limited work in GER
tain localities is all that has been at
tempted.
while our Jefferson county work needs
increased gifts, l am particularly eager
to impress upon those who have the
means, the necessity of generous contri-
buttons to the state ASSOCIATION. In this
way a man can be kept in the field, per-
sistently instructing and lecturing to the
people, and stimulating local action. 1t
is hard for the average person to see any
close connection between the Red Cross
seals and an effective fight against tu-
berculosis, but it ought not to be diff
cult for any one to see the necessity
of money in order to carry on this sort
of aggressive campaign for the education
of the people. AS to ultimate victory and
the means to accomplish it there is no
great secret. The principles are clear and
