Maui Teachers Not
.OpposingLonger Day
Maui Principals Club UpholdS Plan
OF Department For Half Hour In
crease-Po!ntS Out Maui Request
For Full Hour More a Years Ago

If there is any deep resentment on
the part of the Maui school teachers
against the proposed adding of half
an hour to the public school day, they
have kept it pretty well to themselves:
according to Supervising Principal H.
NJ. Wells. That there probably are
some teachers who feel aggrieved, he
admits, but they are certainly in the
minority.
This matter of the lengthening of
the teaching time was discussed at
considerable length at the annual
meeting of the Maui Principals Club,
held in Wailullu last Saturday morn
ing. AS a result of the discussion the
secretary was instructed to address
letter to the superintendent of pub
lie instruction assuring him that the
club not only approved the proposal
of the board but calling his attention
also to the fact that the principals of
Maui, years age Nsked to be allow
ed to add a full loneA per day to the
teaching time; for theteason that they
believed better work could be accom-
| plished. The request at the time had
been disallowed.
| Longer Control Advocated
In discussing the views of the Maui
| principals Mr.. Wells stated that the
modern view is that children should
be under supervision much greater
portion of the time than at present,
| though this does not mean that they
| should be given any more book wRrk
| or indoor exercises than at present.
| When the time for cutting out of y
Japanese language schools arrives,
said, the public schools should be Al
position to take over the care OF the
| children from early in the morning
| until late in the afternoon while the
parents are at work. This all contem
plates extended and supervised play
ground work, vocational training, etc
But of course, Mr.. Wells explained
such a program calls for more teach
ers, though it will also remove mucr
of the Objectionable strain on teach
ers and pupils alike because the teach
ing period may then be spread over
longer period.
Getting Ready For Fair
A committee was appointed to tak'
up the matter of getting the necessar!
space assigned for the school eXhibi
at the county fair next fall 1t wa
the opinion of the principals ina
the schools will make showing mex
fall that will far excel any previou
efforts.
The meeting being the annual on
the election OF officers for the COMM
year was held resulting as follows
e. A. Brown, president; Miss Lid
Crickard, vice-president; H. A. Wade
secretary-treasurer.

Maj. Seabury Short
Back From Siberia
Spent 2 Years In Red Cross Service
In Far East Came Back By Way OF
Europe-0ut Of Service And Here
To Stay

Maj Seabury Short, who for the
past two years has been in the service
of the American Red Cross, most of
the time in Siberia, returned home
this week. He is out of the service
and hopes to find a position on Maui
within short time. He was with the
Wailuku Sugar Co., at the time he left
for war work.
Mr. Seabury has had a varied and
at times exciting experience. After
leaving Honolulu where he worked for
several months in the army posts, he
was detailed to Vladivostok, and that
place was his base for a long time,
although he was in the interior OF
Siberia a great deal of the time help
ing to relieve the terrible distress due
to the internal warfare between the
Bolsheviki and other elements.
He did not come home via the
Pacific but came back by way OF
Europe and the United States, thus
making the trip entirely around the
globe. He is looking well and says
he enjoyed most of his experiences.

Forest Fire MenaCeS
Ditch Trail Section
Fierce Fight In Night To Save What
Is Normally Wettest Part Of Maui
More Than 100 Acres Burned
Over.

For perhaps the first time on record
fire threatened a large part OF the
koolau district forest reserve last
week. AS it was an area of between
100 and 200 acres was burned over.
That the fire Gid not sweep to the top
of the mountain, doing irreparable
damage, is due to good fortune and
to hours of desperate work by a gang
of about 80 men of the East Maui
Irrigation Co., under direction of W.
Il. Pogue.
Nothing could better demonstrate
The character of the drought which
had existed on east Maui than the
fact that this wettest of Maui forest
sections could be menaced by fire.
The blaze started in the Nahiku sec
ton near the head of the ditch sys-
TEN, and on the lower side of the
road, on Thursday afternoon of last
week. 1t originated in a fire built by
some workmen while clearing out
brush for a fence
The fire spread with great rapidity,
being carried for 500 feet or more
time after time by sparks. The moss
in the ohia trees was SO dry that every
tree quickly became a gigantic torch
as soon as a spark fell upon it. Mr..
Pogue, who was called from his home
at Kailua, made the 20 miles or more
over the ditch trail on horse back in
2h hours, and took personal charge
of the fight to prevent the blaze from
spreading. He describes the fire as
the most spectacular thing he ever
saw after darkness fell. Every tree
appeared to drip fire, according to his
description of the burning moss fall
ing from the boughs.
The fire leaped the ditch and ap
parently the whole mountain side was
doomed, but with the dampness OF
night, aided by the work of the fire
| fighters, it finally went out. Much
difficulty was experienced in prevent
ing a resumption of the blaze the fol
lowing days as the soil was so dry thai
the humus and roots burned under
the surface, and efforts to smother
the fire with earth were thus frustrat
ed
Most of the area burned over wa!
on privately owned land below thu
ditch, but some rs acres of govern
ment reserve above the ditch was alst
burned over. Mr.. Pogue describes thu
fire fighting at night as most terribl!
difficult, owing to the denseness O
the jungle, a statement readily be
lieved by anyone who is familiar witt
that section of Maui.

HONOLULU BROKER DIES
OF BURNS

William Simpson, connected with
the Bishop Trust Company as
broker, died at the Queens Hospital
at 1890 o'clock last Tuesday morn
ing. While attempting TO turn out
gasoline lamp on May 22 at the coun-
try home of Arthur Rice, Kailua, Oahu
Simpson, was fatally burned. For 10
days he fingered between life and
death at the Queens Hospital before
death came.
Simpson was born in Keith, Scot
land, in 1881, being survived by two
sisters and a brother who reside in
the homeland. He came to the Is
lands in 1904.

quired by other owners. This new
owner might be the Hawaiian Electric
Co., the proposed Maui Electric Co.,
for which some $4,000 of stock has
been subscribed, or it may be some
outsider not yet heard in connection
with the project.
Nothing From Honolulu Co.
In this connection nothing definite
has been heard from the Hawaiian
Electric Co., which was supposed to
make some kind of definite proposal
to the people of Maui nearly weeks
ago, but which has not done so yet.
Also no meeting of the so-called Wads-
worth committee has since beeen held,
nor has a meeting of the subscribers
of the Maui Electric Co., been called
as yet.
1t was understood at the last meet
ing held about weeks ago, that the
matter should be put up to the sub
scribers for definite decision as to
Wndl COul SC OlOulu PuiSNSNb oAN
this probably still will be done.
Bond Did Not Come
Robert E. Bond, president of the
Island Electric Co., whose name ap'
peared upon the advance passenger
list of the Manoa, did not arrive. II
is scarcely expected that he will come
down from the coast, although such
is barely possible.
Burr May Be Disqualified
When the matter of the foreclosure
comes up for adjudication it is prob
able that Judge Burr will consider
himself disqualified, inasmuch as he il
a patron of the Island Electric Co.
and also, in keeping with the rest o
the community must have prett!
strong opinions concerning it. Shoul'
this be the case it will probably re
suit in judge from some other circui
being sent over to try the case.

Three years later he organized the Hayward Rubber company at Colchester, with a second factory at Bozrah for the preparation of the crude rubber.

It is America's duty to accept the challenge of the Near East and accept the mandatory which the peace treaty gives over Armenia, said Dr. Milton S. Littlefield of New York in a stirring ad- dress at the weekly lunche6n of the Nor wich Rotary club held at the Wauregan house at noon Wednesday,
 You Rotarians are the men that make the wheels go round, and each of you is a business man. While you cannot do this thing by yourselves, you can do your bit in seeing that an ally that fought on the side of the Cross against the Crescent gets fair. deal Out of the Near East has come many things-wars, plaques, and other disturbances-but also things of very different nature have come Christianity, riches and conquerors. These countries that comprise the Near East have been the very bulwarks of Christianity, so that we as Christians should stand by them now.
 In 1916, when we were too proud to fight, the Armenians were too proud to live. When the Russian army broke, some stood by and held fast, declaring they would never stain their swords with Christian blood. They fought when there was only one rife for every seven men. The Turks offered them independence but they spurned the offer, declaring they would fight by the side of the Cross against the Crescent. We comparatively did not feel the war. To be sure, we | lost 52,000, but little Armenia lost halt of her population-not only men of mili- l tary age but women and children as well In 1918 Armenia got out of the war, q broken and starving nation.
