Better Progress Now
Making On Hama Wharf

Work on the new Hama wharf, which
has been much delayed on account of
the unexpected necessity of drilling
holes into a layer of pahoehoe lava
in order to set the big 1S-inch con-
crete piles which will support the
structure, is nor going on more salts
factorily according to reports from
Hama this week. Contractor James S.
Agassiz has devised an ingenious drill
ing rig by which the holes are being
drilled without much difficulty.
When the wharf contract was let
there was plenty of sand over the site
to hold the piles, but in building out
the approach to the wharf the cur
rents in the bay were changed so that
all of the sand was washed away.
No way remained to hold the piles
upright except to drill into the solid
rock, and this has proved a formid-
able job and one which has resulted
in much delay.

Rain Puts Little Water
In Ditches--- Helps Crops

Although more than an inch of rain
fell in central Maui last Monday night,
it did not extend eastward on the
higher levels and as a result the Kula
pipe line is all but dry and the Olinda
reservoir dry to within foot or so of
the bottom. This little is kept up by
means of siphoning from a number of
pools near the intake at Waikamoi.
The rain in the Kula district proper,
however, was heavy, bringing relief
from drought conditions. Many res
idents were able to catch enough wa
ter to make them Independent of the
pipe line for a short time.
While the rainfall was big relief
to the central Maui plantations, which
were suffering severely, the east
Maui bitches have received compara-
lively little water.

VOlCanOe On Hawaii
Again Reported Active

The hazy condition of the atmos-
phere during the past few days would
indicate that the volcanoes on the Big
Island are again unusually active. This
is confirmed by reports earlier in the
week to the effect that the Kilauea pit
which dropped 500 feet about three
weeks ago had again risen to near the
top and had broken through the wall
on the Kau side and was flowing a
mile wide stream of lava into the big
steam crack of 1869.
Besides this activity in Kilauea,
residents in the Parker ranch vicinity
have reported that the summit crater
of Mokuaweoweo, on Mauna Loa is
active. The glow is reported to have
been seen in the clouds overhanSing
the mountain which has been OBJ
scured for some time, This crater
has not been active, except in small
degree, since 1889.
Visitors to Kilauea recently, report
that the "tame volcano" is a most
spectacular sight and that a portion
of the floor of the main crater has
sunk more than 80 feet

Bertram Aiken Home
With War Experiences

Bertram Aiken, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Worth Aiken, of Makawao, returned
home on Wednesday morning by the
Manoa after an absence of about two
years, during which he served for
about year in the tank corps of the
United States army in France.
He was with the 334th Tank Bat
talon, but was assigned to fight with
the 330th Battalion, First Army Corps
and first went into action in a whippet
tank near Metz, shortly before the war
ended. He was in three tanks in as
may days and each was wrecked by
German explosives. He was a driver.
his turret men being killed. In the
third machine his engine was smashed
by shell. Both he and the gunner
crawled out and were attacked by
Huns. The gunner was killed, but he
managed to crawl away unharmed.
Since his return to the United
States, Aiken has been employed in
the big plant of the Cleveland Motor
Co., but with the coming of cold
weather his physician ordered him to
milder climate for the reason that
his lungs have not recovered from a
severe gassing which he received on
the battle front. He expects to return
to the mainland after few months
visit with his parents and friends.

The Maui news. [volume] (Wailuku, Maui, H.I.) 1900-current, 1919-12-19

The utilities commission has made
several Investigations of the local COM
panys affairs, formal an informal dur
ing the past few years, none of which
has ever resulted in any relief to
Wailuku residents from the miserable
service supplied at an extravagant
price. Nor is there any assurance
that the coming hearing will have any
tangible results.
From authentic sources it is learn
ed however, that steps are to be
taken within few weeks on the part
of the bond holders of the Island
Electric Company to foreclose on the
mortgage securing the bonded debt,
amounting to $4,000.
If this is done it will undoubtedly
mean that the company, as it exists
at present, will be put out of business
and a reorganization Of some kind
effected which should mean an ade-
quate service to patrons in the no
distant future. The service for the
past several years has been so poor
that any change will be generally well
coined.
Besides this the plant is known to
be in such a precarious condition that
a breakdown of the single engine
which drives it would leave Wailuku
in darkness and without any power
whatever.

More Teachers For
Maui Badly Needed
Many Teachers Have Too Many
Pupils To Teach Properly Says
Wells-Condition Will Be Worse
Next Term.

Unless Maui can have at least Is
more teachers after the first of the
year school work in n number of dis
tricts is certain to be very seriously
handicapped, according to statement
made by Supervising Principal H. M.
Wells, in a letter to Superintendent
Vaughan MacCaughey. Six schools, he
states, have rooms with so or more
pupils each and are unable to do
efficient work on account of this over
crowding.
Mr.. Wells also complains Of the
stingy policy of the department in the
matter of furnishing needed supplies
for the teachers and pupils to work
with His letter in full is as follows:
Wailuku, Maui, Dec. 8, 1919.
Prof. Vaughan MacCaughey,
Supt. of Public Instruction,
Honolulu.
Dear Sir: l wish to call your at
tention to the immediate need Of
IuOI6 IedCneTS O0 MAUI.
Six schools, Kamehameha III, Wal
hee, Kahului, Makawao, Kaupakalua,
and Haiku, have one or more rooms
each that have an enrolment Of so
br more at the present time. AS the
enrolment is always greater during
the second term than it is in the fall
term, 1t is difficult to see how these
schools can be carried on with any
degree of satisfaction unless we get
early relief in the way Of more teach
ers.
The principals of most of these
schools are teaching two or three
grades of the grammar grades, and
they should be relieved of some of
this grade work in order to give them
time for supervision. 1t is certainly
impossible for these principals to re-
lieve the congestion of their lower
grades by taking another grade into
their rooms.
I hope some way can be devised by
VIC may iCSSi'O eAiio tiio~i
needed help. 1t certainly would be an
impossible situation If we had to get
along for any great length of time
with no additional teachers. Besides
the six schools named above that need
Immediate relief, there are six other
schools that will need one or two eX-
ira teachers each during 1920. l esti-
mate the need of extra teachers be-
tween now and year from now, at
IS. at the lowest estimate.
There seems to be a great demand
for chart paper for the making OF
charts for teaching hygiene and other
subjects. l know that the supply is
limited, and that this paper is rather
expensive, but it seems to me that
when teachers are willing to put in
their time in such work, the territory
should at least furnish the paper.
Dr. Bunker and DR.. Kemp have
spoken very highly of some of the
chart work some of my teachers have
made, and think they should receive
every encouragement.
There should have been large ap-
preparation for the purpose OF pur-
. chasing supplementary readers for
our schools. Two dollars for every
school child in the territory would
make a fair start and a start cannot
be made too soon. This is the great
est crying need of our schools. We
are in the peculiar position of paying
a vast sum of money each month for
our workers, and then of being too
stingy to buy them tools to work with.
l hope something can be done.
Yours very truly,
