DUPLICATION AND WASTE IN SCHOOLS

Around on West Maui there are 3 children who walk . miles to
school every morning and 8 miles home again every EVENING" miles
pre- day. Yet the law makes non-attendance at school a crime.
Maui is responsible for her children and Maui ought to be ashamed
that such a situation is permitted to exist. There might have been some
excuse a dozen years ago, but with cheap automobiles and passabe
roads there is no excuse now that will stand close analysis.
And here's something else to think about.
Near KaanapaG, on the Lahana side, are two schools within about
2 miles of each other. One (Puukoln) has about $50 pupils and the
other (Honokawai) has about 90. Each has the usual equipment of
teachers cottages etc, and each has the usual unsatisfactory results
from requiring one teacher to try to teach several different grades.
1t would be a simple matter for the county to employ one or two
automobile buses" and to bring all of these children together at one
point. Possibly the Honokahua school at Honolua could be brought
into the same combination also.
The result would make possible a real graded school, with no dupr-
cation of equipment, and with consequent less expense. This saving
would possibly offset the cost of transportating the children.
In like wise the pupils of the Waikapu school should be brought
to Waluku. Kahuui and Puunene might be combined. Keahua
should double up with Paa. Haiku and Kuiaha should become one.
On Molokai about half the present number of schools, or less,
would probably care for the pupils to much better advantage than they
now are. And there are other combinations on Maui possible and
highly desirable.
When most of these schools were founded they were necessary
because there was no rapid means of transporGon. That was before
the days of automobiles. The same conditions do not today obtain,
but most OF us have failed to realize it or are of the class that have to be
pred out of a rut if they are to get out at all.
YOU, Mr., or Mrs, or Miss Reader have an interest in this. You
have children or pay taxes or both. You are not getting your moneys
worth under the present system. If you demand a change you can
get it. It's up to you. Think about it.
p S|f you are one of the kind who are afraid of new ideas, |
might say that the above is not new-in fact is getting Sc old it is
beginning to grow Whiskers-everywheTe except in Hawaii, and it is
even in successful in operation in Kona, it is reported.

How Charles A. Stanton, a we'll known promoter, who spent sew
eal years in the Islands and is reputed to have made a small barrel
OF money through the development OF Kaimuki as a residence tract.
planned to purchase the island Of Lanai and convert it into a wonderfu
resort for mllionaries of the world, is the story told by A. T. Taylor
in last Sundays Advertiser.
Taylor says that the only thing that spoiled the plan was the advent
OF the war. Stanton, he says, was getting a large number of wealthy
men interested in the project. The idea was that a milionaires' club.
the most remarkable in the world, should be formed, Lanai purchased,
hotels and club houses and wharves built, race tracks, polo grounds,
golf links and other fashionable sport adjuncts installed.
The island was to be the objective of most of the palahal private
yachts of the world, which would come through the Panama canal from
the Atlantic and head for Lanai with the first breath of winter.
And then the war came and everything was off, and a little later
the Honolulu hui which owned the island got tired of holding it and
sold it to the Baldwin boys. Taylor seems to think that the beautiful
rosy dream could not be revived-not particularly for the reason that
the Baldwins have possession but because the war brought prohibition
along with it.
And he is possibly right. 1t would be a little difficult for anyone
even Charlie Stanton-to dream such a dream without the aid of some
mental stimulant. But on the other hand stranger dreams than that
have come true. Lanai, or some other part of Hawaii might some day
actually become the rendezvous de lux of the idle rich. Whether or
not we should like it after we got it is another question.

KEEP Il COW

DR.. Baldwin has recently called attention here on Maui to the value
of milk as a article OF food. The scientific world is every year bring
ing to light new evidence to explain the long known but little under
stood tact that the races of the world which have made the most use
OF milk in their dietary have been the strongest and most healthy.
Even at present high prices for milk and milk products-pnncipal-
y butter and cheese-we are told that they might we'll be used in great
er quantity with real economy in comparison with other foods.
In Honolulu fears are being expressed that a milk famine will
shortly prevail for the reason that dairymen re going out of business
on account of the high cost of feeds and pasture. Here on Maui at
least one dairyman has been forced out of business on account of
high cost of labor.
On the other hand it is gratifying to note the increasingly large
number of highly bred dairy cattle being imported, and the interest be-
ing taken in daTying by some of the larger plantations and ranch in
terests. This augurs well for the future and if this interest in dairy
ing can be communicated to the small householder, and the slogan
keep a cow be made to bear its fullest fruit, Maui will have taken
a far step towards solving the health problem as we'll as the food
problem.

THE OUTLOOK FOX 4 STRIKE

In the absence of any real grievance the strike movement of the
Japanese laborers is believed by many to be really a test OF power on
the part of the Buddhist church organizations and other wouId-be lead
ers outside of the ranks of the labOrers. If these organizers can make
the strike a success, if they AN effect a compromise with the plantations
on however slight a basis, they will claim it as a victory to their leader
ship and a demonstration of their control of the labor situation in the
Islands.
The growing number Of Japanese who are breaking away from the
old school of Japanese thought, and particularly tn. increasing influence
of Christianity as against Buddhism, is believed by many to be really
the secret of this test of strength at this time.
Whether or not the strike order viii. be obeyed generally is a ques-
ton that cannot be answered definitely until next week when it is sup
posed to go into effect Most persons, however, seem to believe that
it will be but short-ived even if it is obeyed. Nor is this view held
entirely by the haole element, not a few japanese expressing the same
belief.
AS stated last week, the strike could probably not have been called
at a better time for the plantations, since the recent abundant rains have
reduced the need of irrigatng to a minimum, and the loss from even
a protracted shutdown would not be very heavy through deterioration
OF crops. How long the laborers are prepared to live without working,
is another question.

despite the fact that everything that goes into the making Of a ne1oS-
paper has increased on IN acreage 700 percent or more. A good many
paper has increased on an doeydge Of 100 percent or more. n good many
country papers throughout the mainland haze been forced out of buSi-
ness and practically all Of them hare raised their prices to about double.
In this Period Of soaring prices it is necessary for most business
concerns to WdtCh all the corners to bre1ent leaks that may spell the
different betoeen profits and loss The Maui Publishing Company,
Ltd, has found this to be most necessary, and hence the rise in price of
single copies.

KEEPING Il HAND ON THE REINS

The next time you are disposed to growl about the way public affairs
are being run, Just stop a minute and think how much you have done
or are doing to remedy the matter, The chances are that you
haven't a leg to stand on.
In a democracy when one blames the government he is blaming
himself because he is a part OF the government. Americans ordinarily
say we" when referring to the acts of local or federal government,
while a European, even the British, have a way of saying they" when
speaking of their government, which they spell with a capital CO..
In on instance it is a sub-consCious recognition of the peoples respon-
sibllty, in the other it is an equally subconscious feeling that some out
side authority is at the helm.
1t should be the part of our schools and our civic organizations to
foster this consciousness of our individual responsibility for our govern
ment. This might be aided materially if organizations such as the
chamber of commerce, the womans club and the high school would
make 1t a practice to keep in close touch with the matters of local gov
eminent through committees, or otherwise. A good live audience
occupying regularly the lobby seats at the meetings of the board of SUI
PerVsOrs should be OF large benefit to the community as a whole. If
we are not willing to give a little of our time and thought to public
affairs we have poor excuse to kick when things don't go to suit us.

THE FLU" IND COMMON SENSE

There is no occasion for getting panicky over the "flu" situation.
Some people are showing such tendency.
1t is doubtful if there is any merit in the proposals to close public
schools, theaters, etc, and to forbid public meetings. These measures
and others were given the most thorough try-out in dozens of mainland
cities during the epidemic last winter, and with negative results in
practically all cases. This is a matter of record.
lin New York city, the largest city in the United States, none of
these measures were taken and it is also a matter of record that city
escaped the scOurge more lightly than most the others.
Instead of closing theaters and other public gatherings and parti-
culary the schools, the health department should use them as a means
of combating the disease. The opportunity might be taken to address
the people on hygiene and various safeguards, warn against the danger
OF splitting and like filthy habits, and of putting into drastic effect the
laws against such practices. Thorough disinfection of the places might
also be insisted upon under heavy penalty for neglect.
When the people have nowhere to go, when the children are not
IN school, they are less easily inspected and re certain to congregate
in small numbers under conditions probably much more dangerous than
in the public places.

THE AMERICAN LEGION

Ii the new order of American veterans known as the American
Legion strays away from the straight and narrow path of true Ameri-
canism it will only be through violence to the basic principles upon
which it has been founded. Here is its creed as expressed in the pream-
bic to its constitution adopted at the Minneapolis convention a few
months ago:
For God and Country, oe associate ouyselves togethe, for the
toHowing purposes To uphold and defend the Constitution of the
United States OF Amerlcd; to maintain IdW and order; to foster and
~PerPetHae a 0Hehundred percent AmercdnSm; to breSeroe the mem
cries and Incidents of our association in the Great War; to incnIcate
a sense of individual obligation to the community, state and nation; TO
combat the GttOcrGcy Of both the classes and the masses; to make right
the master OF might to promote peace and good aH on earth, TO safe
democracy; to cOnsecrGte and sanctIy our coDrddeShib by our devOhon
to mutual ~helbfulneSS"

TIME TO BEGIN ON 1920 FAIR

The fair association did well to fix thus early the time of holding
the next Maui county fair. The time is none too long for the best re
suits, because prize winning crops and farm animals cannot be produced
in a day. From the interest in the last fair it seems certain that the
fair next fall will far excel it. The fair committees should be named
with as little delay as possible, and the premium lists may be made out
in order that prospective exhibitors may know exactly what they must
prepare for.
