A BEAUTIFUL FRAGMENT.

(Alice Duer Miller in Scribner's.)
On summer evenings when the full
moon shines
Serene and fair,
High in the crystal air,
On hillsides deep in birches and in
pines,
Then in all hearts there lies hidden
fire
Of hope or memory;
Some their beloved dead more yearn-
ingly desire,
Some dream of loves to be,
Some weep their swift and sweet NOR
tally.
But | remember only,
Long centuries ago,
A glen more dead and lonely
Than these that now l know,
The noise of waters flowing,
And faint, salt breezes blowing,
Ivy and myrtle growing,
AS here they do not grow
There, when the moon was at full, we
would come, would come,
To the thrilling of pipes and the terri
BILE tone of the drum
Rolling long, rolling loud, as the voice
that presages the rain,
We would come to the cavern pro-
found, to the holy domain,
Then in the moonlight enhancing,
Figures moved agile and fleet,
Then there was dancing, aye, dancing,
Leaping and stamping of feet
Dancers that drifted and darted,
Light as a leaf in the breeze,
Circles that met and that parted,
While the stars danced through the
trees.
Quickening, the drums beat the meas
ure,
All the night long on the hill
Such was the Thunderer's pleasure
This / remember me still.

condition OF the Treasury and Secre-

NEED OF DETENTION HOME.

Editor Honolulu StarBulletin. ~.
Sir: Honolulu stands at the top in
her great educational and settlement
activities. Let her take the same
stand for the upbuilding of character
amongst the waits of our streets.
The crying need at present is per-
manent detention home that will be an
honor to our city, one that will fill
the crying need that at present con-
fronts us. -. 49,. ~
All the cities of the mainland have
ton, and have provided adequate
quarters for the boys and girls of
their communities - ..".I =.
What is needed now is detention
home that will accommodate boys and
girls under one roof, equipped with
dormitories, bath and shower rooms,
clinic, game rooms, school rooms, etc.
This will mean the saving from a life
of shame and crime our future men
and women. f. = -. ...-:.... i
The climate or these islands is such
that boys can roam the streets day
and night, the year round, imbibing by
constant association with the older
and tougher characters of the neigh
borhood all the vices and evil habits
taught them by shiftless, thought
less gang. - 1884,. y i:
Look at the great number Of chill
dren out of school and employment;
what is going to become of them? We
as a community are responsible for
this and it lies within our power to
remedy it, %. II. -
The boy of today is the man of to-
morrow, and the girl of today is the
woman of tomorrow. A juvenile home
properly equipped and efficiently con-
Quoted can accomplish wonders; 1t
can be made parental school for
the curing of truants. clinic for the
correction of incorrigibles and delin-
quents, the curing of physical defects.
with which many of our boys and
girls are badly handicapped. and is the
direct cause of many of the actions
for which most of the children are
brought into the Juvenile court. H..
San Francisco asked for the sum
of $4,000 for Juvenile detention
home in 1909: this was turned down
by the supervisors as being prepos-
ferrous Today they have just COM
pleted a magnificent nine-story build
ing costing $4,000 Nothing is too
good for the children of our commun-
ity, especially those who are handi-
capped by birth and environment.
An ounce of prevention is worth a
pound of cure. Wake up Honolulu!
Respectfully, x...>.. -. ..-.
