the tenement districts cannot or will not walk
as far as Thomas Square, and most of them can
not afford to pay earfare. 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 well-todo 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 a mile or mile away to get to recreation
spot The child from two to eight years of-age
ought to be kept close to'home The playground,
moreover, should be community center, 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
tinct duty to perform in the development OF its
playground system, and Honolulu must wake to
that duty.

kanaaina win agree with me that the
park is not now and never has been
of any use to the city except for a
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 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 q
dried-np, anti-tropical place as Thorn
as square. The residents of this city
have no respect for 1t and the tour
ists/smile when they compare 1t with
any park on the mainland.

part of IL and ii will have some at
tractive feature at least.

MUNICIPAL DANCES

Deputy City Attorney N'oayer's plan for a
quasi municipal dance-haH is about the most
common sense and practical suggestion we have
yet heard in months of voluble 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 assto 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
.dance-hall where the female attendants are
paid is likely to become evilly commercialized.
Under these conditions, the young women ana
girls must accept any partners who ask them Tor
q dance No restriction of character is placed
on the habitues Of the hall Naturally the man
who buys the services of a girl as his partner
puts no very high value of respect on her as an
Individual; he regards her as likely to be 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
lionor is allowed on the floor. Dances whose
propriety 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 IN
derstood to be strongly in favor of the munich
|pally-conducted dance 1t is at least worth a
trial The present dance-hall inspectors viii
doubtless be glad to serve in an advisory capae-
ity, and if the supervisors will provide eompe-
tent attendants and insist that the proposed
Aala park pavilion be conducted in clean ana
decent manner, the result should be infinitely
better than the system of which so much com
plant is now heard

begin with. one pays twenty cents to
get in, which entities one to dance
Out Of this twenty cents the house
gets fifteen cents and the girl dancer
FIVE cents. Thereafter each ds:nce
costs fifteen cents; then cents of
which go to the house. the balance to
the girl
MY objection to this Is twofold:
In the first place. il is wrong and
against good morals for women to be
paid to dance. They are not doing it
for the sport Of the thing but for The
money 20 be had out Of IL They have
to dsnce with whosoever asks them
and they are paid for ii. 1t is not
fun for them. it is their business.
In the second place. at the rate of
fifteen cents dance such an enter
tainmeHt is expensive Possibly the
rich could well afford It, hut such
places are for the poor and the poor
cannot afford it. II man dances six
dances an hour, he has spent ninety
cents! II he remains there three
hours, dancing al the same rate, IL
has cost him $1.S5.

in their power to see the enterprise
carried to successful conclusion.
"Such a place, run directly uIder
the supervision of the city and county
officials, and free for all dancers. will
eliminate the features which are OBJ
jectionable at the regular dance hall.
The dancing will be decent and it
will be free" said P. l. Weaver this
morning.
Supervisor Markham. who now has
in his possession proposed amend
ments to the dance hall ordinance,
which 1t is thought will be introduced
at the next meeting of the supervis-
ors, said concerning the municipal
dance hall proposition:
I believe it Is great thing, and
something needed here. ] am very
much ia favor of it. / am anxious to
see II launched.
Mayor Fern said he believes 1t very
desirable.
Those who are active in advocating
the municipal dance hall are in agree
ment that it should be located at
Aala park, at the Eva side. Accord
ing to the present plan a request will
be made to the board of supervisors
for permission to use part OF the
park for the dance place, and raise
money for the erection of q structure
by private subscriptions. ATTORNEY
Weaver does not believe. the cost win
be great. nor does he believe it will
be difficult to secure the necessary
amount of subscriptions.
Once or twice a week, 1t is planned.
dances could be given there, the Ha-
waiian band furnishing the music; no.

ing or admission, to be made. It

ture which Mr.. Weaver emphasized
and phrased Commercial dancing"
when pointing out the evils of public
dance halls.
that he visited the Kukui street dance
place Saturday night at II o'clock to
see what manner of raging" was
practised there. During the day he
had added the last words to proposed
amendments to the present public
dance ordinance, which he had drawn
UP after conference with Supervisor
Markham. At the instance of the SUI
peryisors, he made several changes in
the present law. Though Mr.. Mark
ham has not stated what the
changes are. it is understood that by
the suggested amendments women
are prohibited from receiving COM
pensation for dancing. There are
other changes, but the one mentioned
is probably the most noteworthy.
The reason for this prohibition may
be found in what Mr.. Weaver said
this morning regarding his inspec-
ton of the Kukui street place He
said:
THE place is not as bad as it might
be; the dancing, as l saw it, was not
so very bad. OF course, was known
and that might have accounted for
the fact that found the dancing bet
ter than IL had been Represented to
me. Only one couple did see whose
dancing was really bad Some one
signaled to them and they stopped.
The others danced fairly properly,
considering. To be sure, they pro-
ceeded around the floor, cheek to
iowl; but, as l say, it might have
been much worse
"The objection which I have to
make is not so much to the dance
per Sc, as to the charge made for
each dance, and the profit the wom-
en- and the house make out of it. To
