Druggists Waiting
Word To Lift Tax

Hawaii druggists are anXiously
awaiting definite information from
Delegate Kuhio, in reply to a letter
sent him recently from the chamber
of Commerce of Honolulu as to whe-
ther congress really plans to repeal
the revenue act as it relates TO foun-
tain sodas.
A campaign was launched i'll New
York state a few weeks ago Dy drug
gists seeking to obtain relief from the
war tax on soda water, on the ground
that this was the poor mans beverage
and that the imposition OF war tax
was unjust.
The chamber of commerce directed
an inquiry to the delegate. He has
sent a preliminary report saying he
made inquiries of the ways and means
committee of the house and found that
no program had yet been laid down
: tn cover this matter, and the commit
tee had reached no decision whatever
as to whether it would reduce the
tax on sodas or luXuries in general.

Want POtted Plants
For Fair Grounds
HOusehOlders Clearing Out Gardens
Are Asked To Pot Extra Plants
To Send To GrOunds-BOugai
villea Hedge Needed

A short while ago the Maui News
submitted to the citizens Cf Maui the
suggestion that a cleanup campaign
for the beautifying of Maui for the
Fair in October would not be amiss
and might rebound considerably to
Maurs credit.
In order to give encouragement to
this idea, H. b. Penhallow and James
Lindsay now come along with the
suggestion that while the householder
is clearing out his garden of super
fluous palms, crotons and vines, he
might pot a few of them for trans
portation to the County Fair grounds
for the beautifying OF the Territorial
building. A number of bougainvillea
vines for bougainvillea hedge and
palms and crotons can be used, as
well as other ornamental churbs and
flowers. Banana trees will not be of
much use as the strong winds of Ka-
hului will whip them ragged and make
them unsightly.
All who will have plants potted are
asked to communicate with Mr.. Pen
haliow or Mr., Lindsay who will in
spect them and see if they are what
are needed.

Maui Principal
Answers Letter
Astonishing Charges Made OF Maui'S
Teachers Urges Teacher ASsocia-
tiOn Work Be Begun At Honolulu

Answering Vaughan MacCaughey's
open letter to the teachers of the Ter
ritory, which was published in the last
number OF The Maui, Maui teacher
has written the following concerning
Mr.. MacCaugheys suggestions, and
thereby reveals situation in educa-
tional circles on Maui, which as is
stated could well be improved.
Dear Mr.. MacCaughey:
/ am glad to acknowledge receipt
OF your letter setting forth the ad-
vahtages of teachers meetings and
asking for suggestions concerning
same.
l have long felt the need of such
help here in isolated Hawaii. which
feeling prompted me in being in
strumental in organizing the Maui
Principals Club. That club has prov
ed helpful and | trust, will prove
more so with experience. At first
there was tendency to waste con-
siderable time by deviating from the
subject under consideration, engaging
in personalities, etc. There was
also an inclination on the part of
some members to have the meetings
held without any definite purpose or
without having subjects for discussion
previously announced. These evils
have been eliminated 10 very large
extent and 1 look forward to our next
years meetings with high anticipa-
| ton.
The greatest difficulty in the way
of teachers meetings in this country
is the expense Of travelling. Thus it
is imperative that a program of vital
Importance be carefully prepared for
each meeting to induce teachers to
continue to attend. 1t is also m
portant that skiliful presiding officer
be selected to maintain necessary de-
corum and to prevent the discussion
from becoming irreveiant to the sub
ject under consideration.
Another serious difficulty with gen
eral teachers meetings is the lack of
interest of a considerable number of
teachers, s,-their tendency to engage
in gossip with each other while the
program is being rendered, their SUI
preme interest in fancy work, etc,
