WISE PLANNING
IMPROVEMENTS
At KAP|OLAN|
Proposed Park Superintendent
Has Ideas for innovations
of Practical Nature

. John H. Wise, active candidate
for the superintendency of kaptolani
park, is declared by his friends to be
sure of landing in the vacancy that
will be brought about by the plan to
eliminate the Democratic holder OF
the position, Bertram Rivenburgh, and
Wise is already planning park i'm
provements.
ITO my mind the entire park sys-
tem-if you can call it a system-ot
Honolulu should be brought under one
head and the several small parks
greatly improved said Wise this
morning. This could be done very
easily and with practically no increase
in expense to the city and county.
The superintendency of Kapiolani
park pays enough so that the holder
of this position would not need more
salary to look after all the parks. The
labor is largely furnished by the pris-
oners With all the parks in one ac-
lively operating system they would
be much improved.
. Another feature that could be car
ried out would be the establishment
of a Hawaiian village at Kapiolani
park. This is entirely feasible and
would cost little. 1t could be put on
Makee 1sland-a fine place from every
standpoint if the streams there were
cleaned out and the present odorOus
atmosphere done away with. A Ha-
waiian village there. with women max
ing leis for sale downtown, could be
on a practical plan. Much
of the present lei-making around Ho-
nolulu which isn't seen by the tour
lists could be carried on at this viii
lage, making an attractive and at the
same time practical industry.
"A much-needed Improvement is a
change in the entrance to the bath
house so that more privacy can be
afforded the bathers.
The park has fine opportunities for
outdoor sports. If l become superin-
tendent | would go right after the
proposition of establishing a polo field

SCHOOL BOARD
ADOPTS IDEAS
FROM kinney
Put Ban on Collecting Funds
For Any Purpose from Pupils
During Working Hours
TEACHERS ALLOWED TO
HAVE OTHER EMPL 0YMENT
Other Suggestions of Superin-
tendent Meet With Approval
of the Commissioners

Before taking up the work of the
biennial school budget for the next leg
islature the board of school commits
sioners this morning established sew
eraI new rules suggested by Super
intendent Henry W. Kinney. Per-
haps the most interesting of the new
rules is that promulgated by the super
intendent several weeks ago. against
the actual collection of money in the
public school for charitable purposes.
Superintendent Kinney cautioned the
instructors against this custom some
time ago, and placed the plsttsr be-
fore the board today for its approval.
The board endorsed the idea heartily,
making it a fixed rule which shall
hereafter apply at all tires to all pub
lie schools in the territory.
/. 81 believe that 1t may often be well
to call the attention Of the public
school pupils to various causes which
may need their support, financially or
otherwise" said the superintendent t0
the board, "but l think that tEe actu-
al collection of coin in the schools car
ries with it several features which
make the practise on the whole unde-
sirable."
Another idea suggested by Kinney
and adopted by the commissioners was
the rescission Of the. cid rule proilibit-
ing teachers from engaging in other
gainfuf employment Outside their
school duties. Kinney 5ayr, IN his
communication to the board, that this,
rule, adopted in 1907 has long been q
dead letter as far as actual enforce
ment is concerned, and that If en-
forced strictly is capable hf working
a hardship in many instances. He
suggests: - s. -s.ss
IF a teachers outside occupations
cause her school work to be unsatis-
factory, the services of such teacher
can be dispensed with under other
rules of the department, and If the
outside employment does not interfere
with the school work, there is no
reason to ask that it be discontinued.
The board also adopted his recon-
mendation for the establishment OF
a school at Waflxi, Kohala, Hawaii,
where there are % children OF school
age The Parker ranch has offered to
supply a school room.
High school teachers from the main.
land will gain point under another
rule adopted today, which authorizes
the recognition of their experience in
schools outside the territory. Here.
tofore such experience has not been
given weight In the islands, although
1t was recognized in the case Of eie.
mentary school instructors.
The board took up the subject of
school estimates, appointments, trans
fers. salaries and kindred matters this
afternoon. All members except w. H.
Smith of Hilo and Mrs. Theodore
Richards of Honolulu were present.
Mr.. Smith is in the East and Mrs.
Richards, who has been on the main
land, is expected to return tomorrow
and to be present at the fol-
lowing sessions. IN

COMMISSION MAY
NOT HAVE Chief
CLERK At FAIR

The much-discussed question of the
chief clerkship for the Hawaii fai.
commission at San Francisco next
year may be settled by the simple
expedient of having no chief clerk at
all. Such is the proposal Of one OF
the members of the commission.
There are four or five applicac
tons now before us and each of the
applicants has his friends. However,
| don't see the necessity of havins
this clerk" said this commissioner.
Chairman Wood will doubtless be
named the resident commissioner and
will spend 10 months in San Francis
co next year. He will have a stenog-
rapher who should be able to attend
to the duties Of the clerk all right.
Personally feel that we will do well
to economic in this direction"

At 10 o'clock the new jurist active
