off, e. tenements. At one vital meet
ing Of the Civic Federation a report
was read which had been prepared
by Rath and which contained
startling facts concerning the life in
the tenementS. 80 q
The question of the tenements was
INCREASINGLY agitated, and result, was
gained finally in the passage of the
new building law which today makes
il a matter of considerable expense to
erect a tenement. Then, the Board of
Health has a marked degree of juris-
tiiction over the erection of such
buildings from a standpoint of sani-
tation and cleanliness. The tenement
exists, however, but, as any local so
cfal settlement worker will tell you,
conditions have greatly improved dur
ing the past two years.
With, Roadway thus gained toward
an improvement in sanitary arrange
ments, the Palama Settlement began
It's active campaign toward Kidding
the city, or at least the Palama dis

local estate, an. acre of ground on
Hotel street mauka' of the Homestead
was given the settlement. Here were
reetd light 2-story cottages of the
modrn bungalow type, and worthy
families, many of which had long been
inmates of tenements, were allowed
to rent these homes at moderate fee.
Each house accommodates two fami-
lies, one on the first and one on the
second floor, the second story being
reached by an outside staircase. The
families which came to occupy these
houses made but a small inroad on
the tenement population. but the set

adjunct to- Central Union church. The
land was purchased by Mr.. and Mrs.
p, G. Jones, who erected ia building
at cost of $4,000, and the work OF
the institution was carried on under
this name for nine years. In January,
1905, the supervision of the work was
taken over by the Hawaiian Board of
Missions, and in March of the same
year. James A. Rath, the present
neadworker, arrived In Honolulu.
Rath was brought here to carry
on net mission work bet a modern
social and evangelical work This
labor grew until 1t was deemed adj
visable that the settlement become
Incorporated, and the Hawaiian board
of missions and Central Union church
consented to transfer the lands they
held in fee simple to the new board
OF trustees. The charter was issued
By the territorial treasurer, July /,
1910, since which time the settlement
has been and is an incorporated, elee-
mcsynary institution. 49,
Upon his arrival IN Honolulu, the
first hind Rath undertook was
"a exhaustive survey OF the neighbor-
hood with view to ascertaining the
conditions as they existed at that:
time, He found here, as he had found
elsewhere, that housing conditions
had great deal to do with moral
and physical defects Believing as
Lord DisrGeli did when he said: Il
have always felt that the best secu-
rity for civilization is the dwelling,
and that upon properly appointed and
becoming dwellings depends more
than anything else the improvement
of mankind Such dwellings are the
nursery Of all domestic virtues, and
without a becoming home the exer-
else of those virtues is impossible"
Rath felt that it would be -impos-
sible to do much with the adults and
children at that time, for after they
had been with the settlement for a
matter of hours, they would be forced
to go back to their tenement homes
amidst the same conditions. The set
Element therefore devised a campaign
whereby it planned to show the peo-
pie of Honolulu that it would be i'm
possible to do much under such con-
ditions. This undertaking, together
with the work which the board of
health was carrying on at that time,
and which the Civic Federation had
joined in, helped to create a public
