s7EADYIRd THE BUSINESS SITUATION

Many of HonOlulu's merchants declare that
their Christmas business has been much larger
than they expected, not a few adding that it was
aIetr than last years holiday trade
And this in spite Of a reduction Of sugar
stock dividends that has financially crippled
hundreds Of people in Hawaii whose previous
incomes had been generous
Two Of the principal factorssi in steadying the
SITUATION, in somewhat lessening the general
bow dealt at sugar. are the presence of a great
humber Of military on Oahu and the steady id
1rease in semi permanent tourist traffic.
II a census could be taken Of the Americans
and Europeans who are coming to Hawaii to
spend from three months to year, the result
would certainly be a surprise These tourists
have incomes independent Of the rise and fall II

The year 1914 does not loom so disastrous to
business in the face of these facts
In the face of the facts about tourists, the
few arguments against spending money for pro

THE SCHOOL PLAGR0UNDs


How large is your school playground? Henry
S Curtis, in a bulletin just issued by the United
States bureau of education, declares that every
city schol building should have at least one full
block of ground whether the block is the usual
city block of two or three acres, or one of ten
acres, as in Salt Lake, Utah. The high school
needs at least ten acres, he asserts AS for the
country school, it ought never to have less than
three acres of play-spaee, and could profitably
make rsc of ten acres, provided the grass is kept
moved ILL.,.
AR Curtis shows that our schools have, in
general, had very inadequate yards, During the
past tenyears, however, with the Development OF
the advancement, there has come an increased
demand for ground space around school build-
ings. The state boards of education in Pennsyl-
vania and Virginia will not approve plans for
new school buildings that do not provide for ade
quste Fairgrounds. In Little Rock, Ark, the
standard Of one full block to a school has been
carried out with every oneaof the schools for
white children. All but one or two of the schools
in Pueblo, Colo. have q full block In San An.
aelo, Tex, every school but one has tXI ipel--

It is expected that the board OF
supervisors will devote greater part
of it's time at the next meeting to the
proposed new speed and traffic ordiu-
ance. A draft of this measure has
been prepared by p. L.. Weaver, first
deputy city and county attorney, and
favorably acted on by the police COM
mittee. In view of its length and the
great Importance of it, the measure
will be discussed at length by the
board on committee of the whole be-
fore it is introduced.

e. THE DAWSON MEMORIAL

Elsewhere today appears a call from spe-
cial committee of the Humane Society for sug-
gestions as to what form the Rose Dawson Me-
mortal shall take. The original idea of an ami
NAL drinking fountain has had to be abandoned
for sanitary reasons and the necessity for guard
ing against animal diseases. ~.
The scope of Miss Dayison's work was so
broad, her sympathy for the afflicted and dis
tressed, in human or brute form, so far-reaching,
her character SO finely expressed through a
wide range of interest, that there should be
many suggestions for the memorial *.=

at least, and two have ten acres of play-space.
The first school built in Gary, Ind, had two
acres of playground, the second had four, the
third eleven, and lot recently purchased con-
tains twenty acres.
Whether in city or country, Mr.. Curtis con-
siders ample school playground a vital neces-
sity. "City children need a gOod-sized school
yard because there is no other place to play.
Country children need large yard because at
home there is no one to play with, except in the
simplest games for little children" He points
out that larger school grounds are demanded,
not only for the sake of organized play, which
has come to have recognized value in educa-
ton, but also for school gardening, open-air
classes, physical training, and other activities
that have made the school yard "nearly as i'm
portant as the classroom in the conduct of a
modern school"
