tablished the travelling library. before
it was taken over by the state in 1899,
practically all the clubs were study
ing art and literature We have a
wonderfully fine collection of books
on these subjects, purchased largely
at the solicita ton of the women's
clubs. Now they are unused. The
women's clubs are delving into more
practical and timely subjects. Civic
affairs, political economy and history
home economies and during the war
histories of the countries engaged in il

Mrs Greene states that a most con-
spicuous change in book demands sci

signed.

GIRLS NARROWED
IN MANLESS EDEN
Teachers in Hawaii Can't Get
Home, So Spend Vacation
on Tropical Isle.

Marooned on a tropical isle 1000
miles or more from home, and camp
ing on the brink of the crater Of Kill
auea, one Of the worlds greatest ac-
tive volcanoes. 200 girls, most of them
pretty and all of them charming, are
spending a vacation of two months In
a manless Eden.
This is not a scenario; It's a descrip-
ton of Hawaii's summer camp for
homesick school-teachers. A few weeks
ago some 300 woman school-teachers
heard the sad news that they could not
get back to the states for their sum-
mer vacation, the army transports be-
ing booked full with army officers and
soldiers, and the passenger liners be-
ing sold out for months ahead, war
service having taken many of the Pa
cific's finest steamers to the Atlantic.
When the teachers ~predicament be-
csme known, l.. A. Thurston, Honolu-
III newspaper publisher, suggested the
idea of a summer camp for teachers at
Kilauea, where the great elevation and
cool climate would give the young wo-
men a pleasant change from the rath-
er depressing summer heat of the Ha-
waiian lowlands. The cooperation of
the department of public education,
the Y. M. C. A. and the army was en-
listed, the military camp at the volca-
no being obtained for the accommoda-
ton of the teachers and such Y. M. G.
A. members as cared to attend.
The public schools closed June q
and the summer camp opened June 20.
TO close about Sept. /. A summer nor
NAL school will be conducted in con
nection with the camp, but attendance
is not obligatory. The young women
are being provided with meals at actu'
al cost.
