ROGERS AGAINST
BLUE BLANKS
IN SCHOOLS
Athletic Official Would AboI-
ish the System Now in
Vogue

President James Edward Rogers of
the San Francisco subleague yester-
day supported Archie Cloud in his
views on the desirability of doing
away with the blue blanks and pink
blanks of the various leagues Rog-
ers feels that the blanks have OUT
lived their usefulness and that they
are the means Of retarding rather
than encouraging the boys of the
schools to participate in athletics and
games of all kinds for their own
physical benefit.
Rogers thinks that the membership
on the school teams should be made
broader and that every boy in school
should be given the opportunity to
make the teams. Rogers says the
blue blanks prevent this. He states
that the boy who may be slow in his
studies has no chance whatever of
making the teams under the blue
blank system and adds: This may
be Just the boy that athletics would
benefit more than the quicker and
more apt scholar
Simple statements from the prin-
cipals of the various schools that the
boys named for the various teams are
doing satisfactory work in school is
what Cloud and Rogers aim for. Both
men are of the opinion that this would
give more boys the benefit of actual
athletic exercises and would also do
away with a lot of the unnecessary
'.feuds" that have been started in the
subleagues.
Il believe" said Rogers. that the
majority of the principals are OPP
posed TO these blue blanks. The same
results can be secured in other ways,
and no principal is going to let any
boy make his studies subservient to
athletics. There is need for reform in
the A. A. L. on this blank PROPOSE
tion and it should be done immedi-
ately.v

PALAMA SETTLEMENT
AND THE PROBLEM
OF THE TENEMENTS
.tcoatinded fram mage nine)

Nearly every tenement in the city
has been materially improved during
the past year; new sewerage has been
installed, lights put in and arrange
ments made for the betterment of
sanitary conditions.s One or two of
the so-ealled camps, however, are re-
ported as being in filthy condition, no
effort having been. made to improve
them, it is said. III the place of tene-
ments, cottages are going up, hun
dreds of neat and attractive struc-
lures having been erected during the
past two years, and 1t is firmly be-
lieved that these cottages will. be, 4
factor in seeing Honolulu devoid of
tenements before many years have
passed. s. -. 49,. .....-
The Settlement and the Children. -.
The work of the Palama Settlement,
while not confined to the children of
the tenement district, draws very
largely from them. FIRST . OF all
comes the kindergarten which is run
by the settlement under the auspices
scf the Children s Free Aid and Kind
ergarten Association. More than 800
children Of every nationality are now
in attendance at this institution and
the little folk are being turned away
daily on account of lack of space for
more seats. Competent instructors
are In charge here, and the settle
ment has been fortunate in securing
the kindergartners entrance into the
first grades of the public schools.
Then, there are clubs and classes for
the older girls and the big play
ground, when completed, will. be the
largest of its kind in the territory, and
provide recreation for thousands OF, 1
youngsters who have heretofore been |
forced to play their. games in the
streets or back lanes Besides the
work fer the children, there are gym. |
nasium and swimming classes. clubs, |
: unday school classes, educational |
classes and athletic teams.
The tenement is doomed in the |
civilized world; it is an unnatural and |
method of housing peo- |
pie" On tie other hand, the, question
arises as to what may be done toward |
housing the poorer classes. There is, !
but one solution which has been |
worked out with success, that being |
the German system of municipality |
built and owned houses for the work
ing people. House the people of the
tenements in houses owned by tn city |
and county; tear down the old frame
shacks and erect brick or stone store
buildings in their place. Not only
would this rid the community of con-
gestion and of health menace, but
it would go a long way in reaching
the goal for a city beautiful.
