No more word has been received
from the Hawaii delegate in regard
to the Kilauea national park bill since
he sent request to the Chamber of
Commerce some time ago asking that
they procure for him the prices of
certain private lands in the Kilauea

by the chamber, cable was sent to

chamber will do all 1t can to carry out
the delegates request just as soon as

chamber also plans to work hard for
the passage of the vocational training
bill now before Congress, and will
also make an earnest effort to get the
naval academy here.

School Needs a Gymnasium.

1t should not be necessary for the students and
the alumni of Mckinley Manual Training School
to seek the support of the various civic organiza
tons of Washington in their efforts to have a
gymnasium established in the school building And
impelled by the exgences of their present predca-
ment The Mckinley Building is comparatively
modern and yet it appears that in its construction
gymnasium overlooked. The students at Nc
Kinley present strong argument They set forth
that the Business and Western schools have gym
nasium facilities and Central and Eastern will have
them in their buildings. The enrolment of
the Mckinley School is much greater than that
of Eastern and Western and about equal to that
of Central and Business and the enrolment of
boys in the Mckinley School is almost equal to
the total number of boys in all of the other high
schools. The pupils of the Mckinley School
have been put to much expense by the necessity
of renting outside quarters and providing necessary
gymnasium facilities, and still handicapped in
their athletic relations with the other schools The
justice of their demands cannot be questioned. 1t
would seem that they scarcely be resisted if
properly presented to Congress.
In modern days gymnasium training is recog-
nized scarcely less important than proper in
RS and it is surprising to learn that Washing
ton high school so important Mckinley is lack
ing in this equipment. 1t would appear that it
should only be necessary for the situation to be
properly presented to the District committees in
Congress to insure the correction of a serious
oversight.
