the tenement districts cannot or will not walk
as far as Thomas Square, and most of them can
not afford to pay carfare. Thomas Square
might as well be situated on the moon so far as
being of service to them is concerned
The children in the fourth district, particu-
larry in the vicinity of Thomas Square, Punahou
and other residential sections, have COMPARE
lively little need for Fairgrounds Most of them
are the children of wellto-do parents They are
brought up. in cool and airy houses. surrounded
by spacious, shady yards The children of the
section from Nuuanu street to River street are
brought up in dusty, noisy, crowded tenement
houses, where disease finds ready welcome.
These are the children who most need play
grounds But it is folly TO expect them to go
half mile or mile away to get to a recreation
spot. The child from two to eight years of age
ought to be kept close to home. The playground,
moreover, should be community the
gathering place for tired parents as well as for
play-hungry children.
1t is good business for the city to promote the
health and pleasure of its children. And the
child of poor parents, let us not forget, needs
the wholesome stimulus of outdoor life as much
as the child of rich parents. The city has a dis
tinet duty to perform in the Development Of its
playground system, and Honolulu must wake to
that duty.

Out of this twenty cents the house
gets fifteen cents and the girl dancer

costs fifteen cents; then cents OF
which go to the house. the balance to

my objection to this is twofold
In the first place, ii is wrong and
against good morals for women to be

In the second place, at the rate Of

tainment is expensive Possibly the
rich could well afford 1t, but such
places are for the poor and the poor
cannot afford It. II q man dances six
dances an hour, he has spent ninety

j kanaaina will agree with me that the
park is not now and never has been
of any use to the city except for q
band concert once a week, and then
there are not twenty people in at
tendance
Anybody who thinks that the park
is used for recreation by the people
Of the city has but to make note OF
the number of people he may observe
in weeks time within the confines
of Thomas square, except it.be that
they are making a shot cut from
Beretania street to King street or
vice versa.
Every home in Honolulu Is park
unto itself, and there is no occasion
for the inmates to hunt out such a
|driedup, antitropical place as Thorn
as square. The residents of this city
have no respect for it and the tour
lists smile when they compare It with
any park on the mainland.
Make a children's playground Of a
part of IL and 1t will have some at

MUNICIPAL DANCES

Deputy City Attorney Nseayer's plan for a
lquasi-municipal dance-hall il about the most
common sense.and practical suggestion we have
vet heard in months of yolHble. discussion.
/ 1t is founded on the belief that if the young
people Of the city want to dance they should be
encouraged to do so under the best possible safe
guards as to health and morality The city will
become their sponsor; under its auspices they
will be afforded an opportunity for innocent
pleasure.
/ The plan is also founded on the belief that
daRce-hall where the female attendants are
paid is likely to become evilly coinmercialized
Under these conditions, the young women and
girls must accept any partners who ask them for
a dance. No restriction of character is placed
lon the habitues of the hall. Naturally the man
who buys the services Of girl as his partner
puts no very high value of respect on her as an
Individual; he regards her as likely to pc open
for improper advances.
But the municipal dances must be very care
fully guarded. There ought to be capable wo-
man superintendent and male attendants who
will see that no. man under the influence OF
|liouor is allowed on the floor. Dances whose
Ipropriety is open to question should be eliml-
mated and the place should be kept above the
degradation of a resort
Supervisor Markham and the mayor are I'M
derstood to be strongly in favor of the munich
pally conducted dance 1t is at least worth q
trial. The present dance-hall inspectors viii
doubtless be glad to serve in an advisory capac-
|ity. and if the supervisors will provide compe-
tent attendants and insist that the proposed
Aala park pavilion be conducted in clean and
decent manner, the result should be infinitely
better than the system of which so much COM
plant is now heard.
