PACE With CITY
INITSPROGRESS
Past Five Years Have Been
Best in Associations AC-
tive History

The first reference to the Young
Tomen's Christian Association in ths
;tar-Bulletin, according to the Off
ial book Of neS spaper clippings kept
0y that organization, appeared in the
issue Of July 9. 1912. and bore the
following headlines ". w. c. A. Do
ng Fine Work for Young Womanhood
of City Need for New Building pres.
ses as Present Scope Develops" The
most important ccomplishment,-
barring one-of the Young Women s
Christian Association during the past
five years has been the purchase and
equipment Of that building
Five years ago the association occu
pied four rooms on the fourth floor
Of the Boston bLilding-a place almost
inaccessible after the elevator stopped
at five oclOCk-and the HON estead on
King street When swimming was
added to the curriculum Mr.. George
Castle offered the use Of the tank at
his Waikiki residence; when basket
bah became popular the use Of the
grounds adjoining the Homestead was
secured; for gymnasium classes the
Castle kindergarten was used; the
reading room of the Homestead or the
lecture hall of the Library OF Hawai-
or the domestic science laboratory OF
the College of Hawaii served as class
ROOMS for educational work.
New Building Purchased
Then in the summer of 1915 the
large two-story building on Hotel and
Alakea streets owned by the Elks and
formerly occupied by the Young Men S
Christian Associ alton, was purchased
and extensively remodelled. This build
ing seemed large beyond the associa-
tons widest dreams, containing a
large cafetaria, a reading room, a CLUB
room, and two class rooms, besides an
office, a kitchen, and shower and
dressing rooms. The building was
opened January 1, 1916, and then be-
gan the greatest achievement of the
five years-namely the outgrowing
of the new building until it in turn
seems almost as cramped as did the
miniature quarters of that time to the
work then being done. Five weeks ago
the associations facilities for recrea-
ton and physical education were en-
larged by the opening of the beach
house of the swimming club.
Growth Of Association
The growth of the association work
is shown most easily in the statistics
of membership. On June 1, 1912 the
association had 242 members. During
the year following an active member
ship committee assisted by increased
activities especially il the physical
department and by a reduction in
membership fee from two dollars to
one dollar increased the membership
to $40. During the three and a half
years following the association grew
slowly and quietly until January 1,
1915, when Il entered its own building

were four, SLEPT in any convenient
place and it was necessary to take
their baths in the old pond.
Modern Methods Rule
The days of the old idea for caring
for delinQuents have gone, never to re-
turn. The more modern method Of
teaching its inmates and giving them
every consideration due them has
proved very efficient in producing re.
suits, with the result that the legisla-
ture has awakened to the fact that
the present method is by far the best.
We are now getting much better sup.
port and in a few years our institu-
ton will be very up 20 date.
During the past few years rapid
strides in advancement have taken
place. Instead Of one building we
now have three large dcrmitories,
caring for the same number of boys;
an excellent school room, spacious
dining rooms and kitchen with oil
burning stoves and steam cookers,
modern dish boilers, better accommo
dations for instructors with home
comforts; modern hospital; a splen.
did trades building. Adequate and
capable instructors. Every educa-
tional advantage and all kinds of ath-
letics and amusements, Including NOV.
ing pictures, ETC., are provided.
We have advanced to a military
basis complete and well trained for
boys. A boy may now lit himself foI
some useful trade and become vak
liable citizen. The following trades
are taught in the school and a boy
has a choice according to his tastes

Of the following: Mechanical, cleo
trical, plumbing. painting. steam and
gasoline engineering. steam laundry,
tailoring, woodworking. cooks and
bakers and blacksmithing.
Practical Work Done
A very important factor n that all,
the work carried on at the B. /. s. a
done by the boys and instructors.
This 10 deserving of much credit. as
the work that is now completed Il
sufficient evidence that all these boys
possess some mechanical ability.
Nowadays boys are more eontented
In tndustiarl schools on account their
educational advantages and the Do
gressive method In which they q
taught to become real men and use
full citizens. ~.
Another important factor In al.
Vaneement in our school and the eause
OF our success to Q great extent 4
the self form OF government by the
boys themselves. Too much regard
ing this cannot be said. In addition
to this the honor cottage plan, which
has been adopted throughout the
mainland, will be put IN use IN
our school Just as soon as finance
permit, as the last legislature mad
provision for same.
Comparing our present condition
with that Of very few years ago e
must be admitted that we have deyel.
oped and progressed with the modern
ideas OF institutional management.

RAPIDGROWTHOF NORMAL School
NHVE YEARS Shown IN FIGURES
Work Credit to Edgar Wood,
Who is Completing 22nd
Term as Principal

Few people in Honolulu realize the
steady growth that has been made BY
the Territorial Normal school during
the last five years, and probably still
fewer people understand the tmmenss
amount Of work that goes on in the
Institution that was established as
Normal in 1896 and which each year
sends young men and women into the
world fitted and qualified to teach
others.
Principal Edgar Wood. who this
year rounds out his 22nd consecutive
year as head Of the big institution
and who Is one Of the best known edu,
Gators in Hawaii, has prepared some
interesting figures which outline very
clearly the material advance made by
the Normal along pra fcalfy all lines
since 1895.
Last week the Normal graduated 81
students, the largest class in its his
tory. OF this number 81 received dip
Tomas and 10 certificates. Since 1896
the Normal has sent 81 young men
and women into the world equipped a.
teachers.

INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL NOWEQUIPPED
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. REFORMATION
BY FREDERICK ANOE RSoN.
Superintendent Boys Industrial


/ 1t Is very interesting TO be carried
back a few years and read Of the life
of the Boys Industrial School and
compare it with the up-to-date insti-
tuition Of today.
During the old regime the school
was under the Jurisdiction OF the de-
partment of education, and needless TO
say suffered very much financially,
which is very essential in permitting
the school TO progress, and with the
result that the development Of the
institution was greatly retarded until
the legislature came to the rescue and
| placed the school under its own board
In 1916. Since then there has been a
wonderful change in every way. Five
years ago the school possessed only
one building, which at the present
! time accommodates so boys, but was
used in those days as dormitory.
school room, dining room, kitchen-in
| fact it was the only building and had
! to be used for evey rpurpose for $50
boys.
One Of the instructors who has been
| in the employ of the school for the
past II years can tell some very in
teresting stories. For instance, suf'
| ficient money could not be obtained
| to properly care for it's inmates, with
the result that only necessities Of lie
could be purchased and many hard
times we're experienced. The cook
ing was done in large lard pals, not
having the adequate utensils. On one
10
went into the kitchen and saw. che
cook, who was one Of the boys, stir
ring the stew with the handle OF a
broom and when asked the where.
fore of such action he stated that the
school had only one basting spoon and
some of the boys had carried it off
and the stew was burning, so some
! thing had to be done. (Of course this
was not the regular mode Of proceed
ure.)
Dark Days Of Past
A boy who was an inmate Of any
penal institution in the days gone by
was unfortunate. Having committed
an offense he was expelled from so
ciety. Little attention was given them
and they were considered fortunate
| il they had a bed to lie on and a
square meal occasionally, and as the
break system was the method used
to reach the moral nature of the boy
nothing was allowed to go unpunfsh-
ed. The ball and chain was a COM
mon method Of punishment. No con-
sideration was given the juvenile Of
tenders to fit themselves for some
useful occupation in after life. The
greater part Of the time was devoted
to the growing of sugar cane to help
support the school. Lacking the ne
cessary number of teachers owing to
lack of finances the boys could not
be given the academic education due
him and this is an important factor
in the uplift Of delinquent boys
When the institution was first start
ed at Waialee no provision was made
for any instructor. The superinten-
dent was Mr. Gibson, who had to live
with his family over the COW barn.
! The other instructors, of whom there

Principal Wood is a firm believer
in publicity, either paid or the kind
extended by the newspapers through
their news columns. He takes an ex-
ceptionally keen interest not only in
the work of the school but in the work
of each individual student. He be
heves in getting to the very bottom
of the needs and desires of a new
student and then proceeds to educate
the pupil along the lines to which he
is best adapted. He is firm believer
in modern methods, and one has but
to visit the Normal to realize that it
ranks well up with like educational
institutions on the mainland.

Dec. II, 1916.

DEAR SAM BALL:
This is a shut-ln day in eastern
Colorado. A fierce ''northel ner"
is on, and only those who are
driven forth by sheer necessity
take the road in such weather.
We have had two or three such
spells since winter began; other
wise the fall has been ideal. We
have had no snow as yet to lay
on more than two days. The one
falling now may stay. Cattle
roam on the ri ange and live with
GU, further care, but a deep
snow puts US to the task of shell
tering and feeding stock.
Crops in this particular section
were light this year Most farm
ers tho raised sufficient to carry
them thru the winter. We feel
the pinch of high cost of living
but 10 more tina see ms to prevail
every ywhere. Everybody from
