Legislature.

Plans have been completed and an
nouncement sent out for the meeting
of the Maui Teachers Association

munity House. DR.. Henry S. Curtis,

ercises are taught.
The gathering is to be an open meet
ing of the Association, and the public

science department of Puunene School

profession, but to the general public
as well.
DR.. Missner and Mr.. Childs will
present to the teachers plans for up
building the physical wellbeing of the
children of Maui

music, which will be interspersed be-
tween the various parts of the pro
gram by Gonsalves' orchestra.
May Demand More Fsay
A paragraph of the circular letter
sent out to teachers by President Paul
MacCaughey, indicates that the asso-
citation will very likely adopt a strong
resolution on the matter of teachers
salaries.
II saws
Brick layers are asking S48 per
week. Plantation laborers are re-
ceiving more pay than many teachers.
Twelve per cent, or almost one or
every eight teachers in the public
schools are uncertifcated i. e. Have
no professional credentials of any
kind Are present salaries adequate
What should be the voiced opinion
of the association?
DO you believe that your school
is complete without musical instruc-
ton by trained teachers?
"The legislature cannot be expect
ed to know the needs of the schools
and teachers unless this association
presents them after calm and care
full discussion. What matter have
you in mind which you believe should
be presented to the association at
this meeting?"

HEALTHIEST STATE IN
UNION OUT ON PACIFIC
BY EEWOOD LAWRENCE.

u
Any assertion as TO which - tie
most healthful state IN the union
is sure TO start a row, especially
among the western states where
rivalry Is SO keen. II IS always pos
sibIe TO question statistics But II "a
report submitted by the federal
census bureau is dependable OF 30
states whose health reports arc COM
plete enough 20 be used for COM
parison. oregon must be awarded
the palm.
The test applied was the proven
ton of death from seven most
costly communicable diseases"-
typhoid. smallpox. scarlet fever
measles, whooping cough, diph-
liberia and tuberculosis. When tho
80 states were ranked IN nine par
allel columns, one column fer eaca

nine ratings for each state added to-

diseases except tuberculosis, Cveson

California third. with Wisconsin ard

The general conclusion deducible
from this report, as from others, -
that the west is the most healthfu.
part OF the country is IL the eli
mate, as the natives are wont 10
boast? or is IL the fact that in gen
eral the west is peopled by piO-
necrs, or the children OF pioneers,
who are naturally harder than tie
alI-sorts population left behind or
is IL because western communities
are more progressive and energetic
in their battle against disease or
is IL a little Of all three?
