elop the chest and arm muscles such
as travelling rings, the giant stride,
etc. The requirements of girls should
have careful consideration in the
selection. Playground equipment will
get good results with a very limited
amount of supervision. Pupils come
to school as early as six o'clock in
the morning and they frequently re-
turn to the school grounds, after they
have gone to their homes at the close
of school, and remain on the grounds
until dark. The playground should be
made inviting and character and body
building in its influence. Equipment
will help to do this by keeping chill
dren busy in the right way.
a playground teacher should be EN-
ployed. A regular teacher might be
induced by extra compensation, to de-
vote her time outside of regular school
hours to this work. We should really
have two such part time teachers
a lady to give her special attention to
the girls and a man to look after the
boys. Our girls are being shamefully
neglected in this line of work.
Baths Needed
That part of our school yard on
which the playground equipment is
constructed and such other parts as
are too much trodden to permit the
grass to grow should be covered with
a two inch layer of the coarsest sand
obtainable. We have many accidents,
some of them of a serious nature, in
wet weather due to pupils falling on
muddy and slippery ground. On one
such occurrence a boy broke his arm.
Then, too, it is impossible for pupils
to enter the buildings when the ground
is wet without wading through mud
and tracking il into the school rooms
and halls. This obstacle to keeping
our school clean would be eliminated
by covering the exposed ground with
sand of the proper coarseness.
We have many pupils who come to
school extremely dirty. We have to
wash them under a faucet in the yard
at present. Frequently their clothes
have to be removed and washed also.
Shower baths and equipment for wash
ing clothes should be provided. If d
swimming pool could be maintained,
II would hn a oppat h1pccinr 20 tho
community as it would render bathing
attractive and, at the same time, fur
nish one of the very best forms of
exercises.

PuukOIii Current Events

We have a school garden. Last
Friday the boys started to work in
this garden. They measured off TWEEN
ty-five feet square and cleared the
weeds and grass. Only boys will
work in this garden.
We expect to have twenty home
gardens. The boys are interested in
gardening.
Some of the girls are weaving, sew
ing, %crocheting and tatting. The weav-
ing girls have made two baskets, a
fan, and a little mat. The sewing
girls have made handkerchiefs.

children from Mrs. T.. f. Baldwin. This
Is an excellent start on a school
library. Your committee might great
ly enlarge on this contribution with
out expense or undue hardship on any
one. We shall try to make a book
case unless some n wishes to donate
one and we hope to build up a library
that will be a powerful influence for
the educational advancement of our
school population.
We Want Wall Pictures
We need many framed wall pictures
of a wholesome character. Pictures
are impressive on the child mind and
the walls of every room should be
made attractive with them. Doubtless,
there are a great many in the com
munity that are not now serving any
useful purpose just as there are many
valuable books whose owners have
outgrown them. Perhaps there are
picture frames, without pictures, that
Ill vi III NdlNG W lllOll wv llt1 Dc. lOll
committee may be able to secure these
for us and we can put them to excell-
ent use.
We Need A Portuguese oven
We should have a Portuguese oven
for the use of our school kitchen. We
are teaching cooking but VIC are buy
ing our bread instead of baking it.
Perhaps influence could be brought to
bear on the county officials to induce
them to build the oven for us. I main
tain hat bread baking is the mostimz
portsnt~lesson we can teach in our
cooking classes and yet we are not
able to teach it for lack of an oven.
CesspooI Needed
Our school kitchen is not proYided
-withza cesspool. That one is needed
does not admit of argument.
Pupils Should Be Transported
Provision should be made through
taxation for the transportation Of
children who live too far to walk to
school. Where practical, small schools
should be abolished and the pupils
sent to a large one. The people of
this community and the plantation
have been transporting the children
from Camp VI during the past three
years. This is properly a public
burden and the legislature should be
prevailed on to make provision for it.
A New Cottage Should Be Built
We are in need of another school
cottage for teachers. Our faculty is
growing larger year by year. We
should, by all means, have two male
assistants next year but W. have no
living accommodations for them. Our

rapidly. Five years ago we had but
nine teachers and four school rooms.
Now we have seventeen teachers, fiji
teen rooms, and, by the end of this
school year, we shall have more than
five hundred pupils. 1t has been ne
cessary in the past to construct new
buildings every year until our school
yard is covered with poor buildings,
poorly arranged. If l am correctly in
formed, our community is paying taxes
each year for building modern, practi-
cal, and satisfactory concrete build
ings in Honolulu and other places.
Would it not be wise to keep some OF
this money at home by improving our
own schools?
Janltor Service
There should be a larger a%ppropria-
ton for %janitor service. The Puunene
School is allowed but 500 for janitor
services and supplies for the coming
year. We are instructed to employ
citizen labor for this work whenever
possible. A competent %janitor cannot
be employed for less than $50 per
month. Janitor's supplies, including
mops, brooms, soap, garden hose,
toilet paper, etc, will cost about 5000
under present high prices. From this
statement it will be readily seen that
a large amount of The Sanitor work
must be done by the pupils. 1t may
be just that pupils should do such
janitor work as they are able to do
without seriously interfering with
their regular school work. Bat It Is
manifestly unfair and unreasonable to
require small pupils to sweep or mop
the floors, wash windows or do other
%janitor work than picking up rubbish
from the yard and rooms. Even the
larger pupils are unable to do the
scrubbing properly as it requires great
er strength and experience than they
possess.
Teachers salaries must receive a
material increase or our best teach.
ers will desert us for more lucrative
employment. The teacher makes the
school and the best are none too good.
The raise should be at least 25 per
cent On the present schedule.
Play Equipment
There has just been installed on
our Fairgrounds, what may be termed
a unit of good, substantial playground
equipment, Our pupils are thus bene-
fitted through the commendable in
fluence of Mrs. F. F. Baldwin. But
we should not stop with this. The
Legislature should be induced to ap.
propriate a substantial sum of money
to spend on such equipment whenever
experience demonstrates that it should
be supplemented with different equip.
ment or more of the same for the
highest physical improvement Of our
boys and girls. In the choice of equip
ment, stress should be laid on that
which is particularly adapted to dew

COP FIRES INTO CROWD;
TWO LADS ARE WOUNDED
Assault Charge Filed Against Casper
Officer for Shooting at OnIookers
Watching Police Arrest Man

Casper, Wyo., Noy. S.-Charged with
felonious assault with intent to COM
nit murder, Night Sergeant ]. w. ].
Mcdonald was arrested here last night
as the result of wounding two 17-year-
old boys, members of crowd which
gathered to watch an arrest Wednes-
day night. His bond was fixed at
$4,000.
The injured boys are Llewellyn
Griffith, student at the Natrona cOun-
ty high school, and Glen Wolcott, en-
ployed at the Natrona Electric COM
pany.
The shooting took place when the
curious crowd, which watched the ar
rest of a drunken man, crowded too
close to the patrol wagon. Mcdonald
is alleged to have left his seat on the
front of the wagon, and with no warn
ing to have commenced firing into the
crowd. 1t was his intention to hit
the ground, he said, but the bullets
which struck the two boys took a
downward course, physicians stated.
Griffith was hit in the left leg, six
inches above the knee, and Wolcott
was struck In the thigh. Both are
at local hospitals.

NATIONAL BANKS MAKE
NEW STABILITY RECORD
Only One Failure In Last Twenty-Five
Months, According to Statement of
Comptroller of the Currency

Washington, Nov. Establishing
a record for immunity for failure, ma
tional banks of the United States have
gone through the last % months with
only one enforced closing, according
to an announcement last night by
John Shelton Williams, comptroller Of
the currency.
The one failure reported by Mr..
Williams was in 1918, no bank having
been forced to suspend during the last
10 months of this calendar year. This
record, Mr.. Williams said, stands out
as 30 times better than the average
for any similar period in the 40 years
of the present national banking sys-
tenn.
For the first 10 months of the pres
ent year, POI charters for new national
banks were granted by the comptrol-
Ter. OF these Al were made operative
in October.
The tremendous strides taken by
American business, the comptroller
said, were reflected in the number Of
banks increasing their capital stock
as well as In the granting of new
charters. According to the cOmptrol-
ler's figures, 293 nationa, banks added
a total of S42, 65S, 900 to their COM
bined capital stock during the first
10 months of the year.
