PLEASURE PIER
PLANS WILL 60
AHEAD At once
Forbes Authorized BY Harbor
Board to do Preliminary i
Work on Project &.

Authorization to proceed with his
plans for a recreation pier on the sec
ond or upper floors of the new terri
torial wharFessB, and 10 was given
Chairman Charles R. Forbes of the
board Of hafbor commissioners at the
boards weekly meeting late Wednes-
day. Preliminary sketches will be
made at once and with estimates
should be ready within two weeks.
Forbes idea Is to have the upper
part of the pier contain an auditorium
capable of seating 5000 or 5000 per-
sons and having an unobstructed view
of the harboF and sea. His plans are
based on the new municipal pleasure
pier at Chicago, which he inspected
while on the mainland.
The chairman told the board that
the Chicago pier was visited by 10000
persons the day he was there. 1t al.
fords a gathering place for the poorer
classes as well as people in the sala-
ried class, affording them pleasant
surroundings in which TO pass a hot
summers evening at little or no ex-
pense
The auditorium will be open on the
sides, but supplied with glass storm
curtains and overlooking the bay and
sea-. Large public meetings can be
held in it at a. nominal Charge, and
there vii. be bandstand for concerts.
Bathing facilities, shower. baths,
comfort stations, swings, slides and
games for the children, restaurant,
lunch counter, rest room for mothers,
small emergency hospital and a
room where infants can be cared for
while the mothers are resting are IN
cluded in the plans.
1t is possible that Ii the board ap-
proves this feature, a mooring basin
for pleasure craft may be Incorporated
in the plan, with a landing stage at
the harbor end This part of the plan
is only tentative as yet.
Forbes says the total cost OF the re-
creation pier project, including equip
ment. should not run above slOO,00O,
and that the narbor board now has
about S25OE00 on hand
The board also gave Chairman
Forbes authorization to take mp the
proposition made by the Hawaii Con-
solidated Railway, Ltd, to install
three sugar-conveying units on huhlo
wharf. lilo. The chairman said after
the meeting he thought the proposal
would be accepted in full.
The board discussed the repair Work
on Pier IS, being done by the terri
tory. II has TO date spent about $fI..
900 on repairs To complete the JOB
will require about $4,000.

COURSE
BOARD MAKES /
few CHANGES
Public School Curriculum Gone
Over and Perfected On
Four Day Meeting

After a four-Gay session, during
which the curriculum of the public
schools Of the territory was thorough
" gone into, the course of study rom.
mittee OF the department of education
has rendered it's report to the board
of school commissioners.
In part, the report reads as follows:
1T is recommended that no change
be made in primary grade arithmetic
at this time. II is recommended that
copies of an arithmetic outline, pre-
scented to the committee, be publish
ed and sent to the supervising prtn'
cipals under the department for con-
sideration and criticism.
when the pupils voluntarily de-
sire to purchase book ON hygiene,
sanitation and physiology, it is recon-
mended that they purchase Ritchie's
Human Physiology as text that
would be helpful. However, the pur-
chase of book on this subject is not
authorized or compulsory.
The material supplementary read.
ers was found to be unsatisfactory
for the following reasons: First, 1t is
copyrighted material; second, it is not
adapted as to pupils development
through grade; third, it is not proper,
ly arranged as to grade.
1T was decided that the material
be returned Ito the compiler) for the
necessary revisions, except the work
for grades one and two, which was
referred to W. c. Avery and G. o.
Smith to consider early revision if
possible III.
The following system must be
used in marking examination papers:
Word spelled incorrectly, not in
spelling examination, deduct one-half
per cent; lack of punctuation or cap
italization, each, Seduct one-half per
cent; errors in grammar, not in gram
mar examination, each, deduct one
per cent; lack of neatness, per sub
ject, two per cent: lack of orderly
arrangement, per subject, three per
cent; careless or poor writing, per
subject, threefper cent.
When a paper deserves a passing
mark, rs per cent on correct facts
and principles. the maximum amount
to be deducted cannot exceed % per
cent; that is, facts are to be marked
on the basis of Is per cent and er.
rors indicated above on the basis of
rs per cent and the sum of the two
marks shall be the mark awarded the
pupil in the examination on the sub
ject.
Rule "a to be changed to read as
follows:
"'All pupils in the grades below the
eighth must be promoted If their
average mark is 70 per cent or more
in all subjects, provided that when a
pupil has mark below so per cent in
a subject he is conditioned in that
subject and special work is given the
pupils during the next year
Supervising principals are request
ed to see that rule 284 Is carried out
and are authorized to settle finally on
such matters. -
After careful consideration of the
subject of combining classes in the
same subject in different grades in
rooms of miscellaneous grades, it is
deemed not advisable to authorize
such combinations and alterations. .
