Sales Exhibition Pictures

There was an exhibition Of paint
ings By Baiho Iwai at Eleele Hall,
Dec. 1914, which has called forth con
siderable interest, and a good many
people have availeL themselves OF the
opportunity to attend. All told there
were somewhat over one hundred pic.
lures shown, mostly island views, but
with a sprinkling of interesting Japa-
nese studies. Every section Of Kauai
was represented, from the Wainiha
landing to Mana beach. Many of the
canvasses were small studies, mex
pensive and likely to find ready sale
for even humble homes. Some of
them, no doubt, may be very accept
able for Christmas needs.

The Planters and
Social Welfare

The interest and attention which the
planters gave to problems and plans
of social welfare at the recent Planters
meeting is very significant new de-
parture in the history of the sugar
business if these Islands.
An efficient committee was appoint
ed a year ago to deal with this subject
and they have given the matter much
intelligent attention, have secured the
services of a specialist from the Main
land to make careful study OF con-
ditions and needs, and have brought
in a report which gives promise OF
large constructive possibilities.
They face the issues squarely, ad-
mitting that things are not right, ana
that, in the interest of business sue
cess as we'll as philanthropy and hu-
manity, they must be bettered, and
thew go on to suggest various lines IN
which the betterment may be MADE.
Each individual plantation is urged
to do it's utmost in every way toward
the betterment of present conditions,
especially along the lines OF housing
sanitation, and the proper care OF
children. In addition to this they
recommend the organization OF an IN
dustrial service bureau which shall
act as a general clearing house OF IN
formation, suggestion and inspiration
along these lines. This bureau Will De
prepared to assist the individual plan
tations in dealing with their local
problems with advice, plans, lnfor-
nation, etc.
The main lines along which effort
will be made, for a start anyway, are
as follows:
Housing: This will come first in i'm
portance and should receive immed-
late attention. Plans and speclhca-
tions will be furnished, not only or
the individual buildings themselves
but of camps or villages as whole
with a view to comfort, convenience
artistic appearance and the develop
ment of community life.
Health and Sanitation: Attention
should be given to the problems OF
food supply and food preparation 10
the end that all the people on the place
NAV be properly nourished. Nurseries
and dairies should be encouraged
Recreation: :. Amusement halls
should be furnished on every planta-
tion, and amusements Of various kinds
should be provided, and carefully su-
nervised. And every effort should be
made to interest the local commum-
ties TO do things for themselves along
these lines.
Education: Thorough cooperation
with the department of education Is
recommended and probably the es-
tablishment and conduct of night
schools and other educational actiVi-
ties.
Industrial Relations. A careful
study should be made of living require
ments and hours of work with we"
to securing the best results both IN
the satisfaction and well-being OF the
laborer and the interest and efficiency
of the plantation. Shorter hours may
prove to be good business.
1t is recommended that welfare work
be conducted entirely separate and
apart from any religious organization
in order to escape the suspicion and
resentment of opposing religious
elements.

New Departure in
School Construction
Defects of the Traditional Building

Defects of the Traditional Building
The plans for the new Lihue school,
very carefully worked out by Ripley
& Davis, with rare intelligence and
broad vision of the needs Of such an
institution, mark new departure In
school construction. Heretofore all
such construction has been along the
stereotyped plan of drygoods box,
variously modified and combined, but
inherently vicious in principle, especi-
ally for this climate, in that only one
side of the box could possibly get the
right kind of lighting and ventilation,
and the other sides were woefully de-
ficient in these respects.
To put two or three of these boxes
on top of one-another, or arrange them
in courts or squares aggravated the
evils.
New Ideals Well Worked Out
A glance at the plan shown herewith
will show how simply and effectively
these evils have been avoided, and
how ideal the arrangement will be for
a country school such as ours. Count
ing on the Trades as the prevailing
wind and the forenoon sun as the
prevailing light, every room will get
perfect ventilation and. perfect light
ing. With an open lanai corridor to
temper the glare and the heat Of sum-
mer.
The requirements of the administra-
ton building will be somewhat differ
ent and the old-time plan will be re-
tanned for the sake Of economy OF
space and central location.
An Attractive Novelty
A novel feature of great attractive
ness is the open court, the pillared
corridors and the open pavilion. This
will furnish most desirable open air
gathering places for the school as a
whole, or in sections, for general ex-
ercises, supervised games, athletics,
etc.
viii Cost $250,ooo
Adequate provision will be made
throughout for toilets, lavatories,
cloak rooms, rest rooms for the teach
ers, etc.
The construction is to be of con-
crete, permanent, durable, and first
class in every respect 1t will cost in
the neighborhood of $25O,0O0, which is
three times the money at present avail
able for the structure, so that the
work will have to proceed, If at all, in
sections, with waits between for far
ther appropriations.
Where to Begin
1t is a question where to begin. and
what section to build first. Some
think that the administration building
as a unit complete by itself should be
put in first, leaving the actual teaching
departments to occupy the present
quarters until later. Others feel
that the first and most absolute need
| is suitable school room facilities, and
! that therefore the wings should be
built Immediately with as little delay
as possible, leaving the secondary
needs of the administrative depart
ments until later.

PREDOMINANT PARTY
FOR SURFACE SHIPS

The predominant admiralty view
here is that big surface ships are

Aircraft and submarines are regard

the British relief at being able to
drop naval building a while and 'see
