School Course For
Next Year Decided
And Being Printed

What is declared to be the most
democratic course of study ever COM
piled for use in the public schools
of the territory has been completed
by the department of public instruc-
ton and was sent to the printer this
week, reports the Honolulu Star-Bul-
letin.
The new course as it now stands
will be in effect during the next
school year, but in 1923 will probably
be slightly revised to meet new con-
d~itions. The committee which pre-
pared the course was composed Of
supervising principals, principals and
grade teachers from various parts of
the territory. The subcommittee
were organized under the various
teachers associations, which feature
has resulted in a highly democratic
product.
AS the department explained, hith-
erto it has been claimed by some that
the course of study was dominated
by a select few in Honolulu, but the
new course is the outcome of the
deliberations of both principals and
teachers. Revisions came from all
parts of the islands, and mostly from
teachers in active service. Valuable
reports and suggestions were received
from Kauai, rural Oahu, Maui, Hilo
and the Hamakua district, says SUI
p~erintendent MacCaughey. All this
material is being printed, and none
of it has been changed by the de-
partment.
In the preparation of the course,
the allotment of subjects to sub
committees was made as follows:
Kauai-Story work, history and
civics.
Honolulu-Geography and nature
study.
Rural Oahu-Arithmetic.
Central Maui - Language and
grammar.
Maui, Molokai and outside districts
Hygiene and sanitation.
Hilo Teachers union-Literature,
reading and phonics.
Hamakua Teachers association
Spelling, writing, opening exercises
and music.
Special committees-Shop and gar
den, primary handwork, physical edu-
cation and Hawaiian ahndicrafts.
The various subcommittee made
careful and thorough r%evisions, and
the revised material was submitted
at an official meeting of the course
of study committee in the department
Offices during the Easter vacation.
This material is now presented in
two books, Book l for the primary
grades, and Book 2 for the grammar
grades.

Mans Failure is
Caused by What?
(By a High School sophomore)

One of the most nationwide prob
lens is the developing patriotic
Americans for Il ever-increasinS
progress OF America. But how can
this be done? Is there any way of
proving that there is a way Of Great
ing future patriotic Americans?
Well, the best way to find out
whether the people of our country are
really progressing as patriotic Ameri-
cans or not can be easily seen by
studying the people and their sur
roundings for a while. Many persons
think that people are born naturally
to possess success as Americans, or
along other lines, but this is false.
Why? Well, the best way to make
one comprehend is to demonstrate by
putting one sound apple with many
other rotten ones in a cellar or any
warm and shady place. Then you will
readily see that n sound apple
would be spoiled, if that apple is not
covered up with some clean and
strong paper.
So with people, 10 matter how good
one is, if he is brought up among bad
people, he would eventually be Il
others, as the sound apple among the
rotten ones, if that boy is not reared
very carefully, as that sound apple.
This is sufficient to show 10 any
reader that one of the most important
problems of America is how 10 help
young Americans SO much-needed for
our country.
To lead young Americans is to help
them keep away from bad surround
ings by encouraging and aiding Boy
Scouts of America, gymnasium, COM
munity house, Kindergarten and young
boys clubs, as Young Mems Christian
Association.
1t is the surroundings that lead us
astray. That is how some of us are
brought up Very few of us succeed
in our struggle for our success, if we
are in bad surroundings. For the sake
of our future Americans, who are 60
ing TO take care of u peaceful, free
and happy country, we must do our
best TO show them that we are good
and patriotic Americans, so that they
will be proud to do their best to help
preserve our pure country eternally.
Girls also should be helped, as they
are gradually taking part in political
and other important affairs; also they
ought to be trained to be real Ameri-
a mothers for their children and
country.

Allowance For Schools
Increased in Last Days

Several items which were reported
to have been eliminated from the
school budgetbill by one or other of the
committees of the two houses were
restored to and included in it before
final passage. Among the important
restoration was a provision for $4,000
for Libraries, books and pamphlets and
an equal amount for supplementary
reading for the elementary grades. 1t
was feared early in the session h a
no provision would be made for sup
Elementary reading. For vocational
training the allowance is more gen
erous than was reported earlier, $780,
600 of which the Maui allowment will
be $4,000. The provision OF $4,000
to start the experiment of transport
ing remote school children to the
the schools on Maui is included in
the bill. In vocational training Maui
and Kauai share alike, Honolulu gets
$50, 900 and the Big Island $4,000.
New school buildings for Maui pro-
vided in the budget are $4,000 for
Lahaina, 100000 for Waikiki, $11,00
for Hama and $4,000 for Molokai.
There is an allowance for mainten-
ance and repairs of 100000, $4,000
for janitors wages and $4,000 for
furniture for classrooms and cottages
and $4,000 for new grounds. In
the special fund for such purposes
there is $753,810 for Honolulu, S527,-
760 for Hawaii, 1927 500 for Kauai
and $4,000 for Maui. These figures
do o include appropriations made
for Lahainaluna.

Filler RegainS Auto
Which Woman Claimed

Harold R. Filler has recovered the
a which Miss B. Wrobleska claim
ed that she purchased of him for
$1,000. The case was heard by Judge
Burr in the circuit court Monday and
Tuesday and he rendered mis- decision
in favor of the defendant. EnOs Vim
cent represented the plaintiff and
Eugene Murphy the defendant.
Miss Wrobleska claimed that she
gave Filler $1,000 in cash for the car
at Maalaea Bay about midnight one
night in January. In support to her
claim of ownership she presented The
records showing transfer in the
sheriff's Office 10 her name, the tax
receipt given to her by Filler and a
receipt for $1,000 signed by Filler
some six weeks after her alleged pur-
chase of the car.
Filler denied ever having received
$1,000 or any other sum of money from
the plaintiff, admitted signing the re-
ceipt and mailing it to her from Paia.
He claimed lie allowed the plaintiff to
use the car and allowed her to put
il in her name and gave her the re
ceipt aud O'ber papers to stop talk.
Thus the case became n of the
weight of the testimony of the liti-
giants, with that of the plaintItl sup
ported by documentary evidence. Her
~veracity was assailed and the court
gave the greater weight to the word
of the defendant. The plaintiff claim
ed to have attained her majority in
January last and the defendant testi-
fed he was born in Kahului 10 years
ago last July.
For three or four months the plain
tiff was ticket seller at the Kahului
theater.

BY Kamehameha School

May-Day was observed in Lahaina
by the children of K~amehameha
School and hundreds of interested
spectators, children and grown folk
two days ahead of the day itself, but
the last school day to precede it, Fri
day of last week. The celebration was
held in Maluoiele Park, no admission
being charged and the spectators
found seats in the grandstand.
The program started with a process
sion Of all participants in the Maypole
and other dances. This was followed
by the GROWING of the May Queen,
May Turne, by Anna Furtado, who
was dressed as a May basket. Anna
then rendered a solo dance. This vas
followed by another solo dance by
Dorothy Mookini, dressed to represent
spring, and a third solo dance vas
then rendered by Irmgard Farden,
dressed as a butterfly. The May
Queen was attended by two little fiow-
er girls, Lebanah Furtado and Misao
Agawa.
After the solo dances the Maypole
dances were rendered. There were
four of these. The oldest group, con
sisting of girls from seventh and
eighth grades, wound green and white
ribbons. They were under the direc-
ton of Miss Van Keuren. The second
group of girls, from the fifth and sixth
grades, wound pink and white ribbons.
They were directed by Miss Jackson.
The third group of girls, from the
fourth grade, wound red and white
ribbons and were directed by Miss
Seong. The fourth group wound vel
low and white ribbons. These were
third and second grade girls under
the direction of Miss Anderson.
Music for all the dances was fur
nished by the L~ahainaluna orchestra,
under the leadership of Mr.. Mookini.
After the Maypole dances were com
pleted, the children presented their
May baskets. Each child in school
had made a May basket and filled
them with pretty flowers and then
presented them to friends.
The last number of the program
was the kite-flying contest. About so
kites were entered for this contest.
There were four prizes awarded, as
follows: Biggest kite that will fly, Nit
sugi Yoshikawa; smallest kite that
will fly, Suve Tomita; most beautiful
kite that will fly, George Leong; ug-
lest kite that will fly, All LUX Wong.
Mrs. Cannon, assisted by other

Obscure The
Baseball Horizon

A meeting of the baseball commit
tee of the M. c. f. & r. Association
Wednesday evening showed that La
hama, Paia and the Wacs are ready
for the coming season, and the Asa
his and Puunene club on the fence
owing to the release of Bill Bal by the
Wacs.
Unless no new developments arise
before this evening, when the com
mittee meets, it looks as if one or the
other, or probably both, the Asahis
and Puunene, will drop out for this
season. In this event it is understood
that Paschoai will rig up a team,susing
as a nucleus Bal, Silva and Shin.

BREAKING THE ia

The papers are full Of proposals Of
how TO raise money for government
expense. both state and national, Nv
various new forms Of taxation. The
whole thought seems to be more and
moreand more. Our taxes have been
increasing at much more rapid rsie
than our wealth and population. 4
The more new methods OF taxation
that are invented and the higher the
tax burden Ia boosted, the less ana
iess business will eventually be dope,
for money Ia being driven into tag
exempt securities, the funds from
which are spent in governmental ac-
tiyity which requires the collection
OF the taxes and not in new and pro-
duetive enterprises. "A
We have seen this work with our
excess profit and our surtax; the
sources OF wealth which formerly
produced this tax revenue are drying
Iup. II was all right to talk about
taxing wealth and the big interests,
but when YOU have taxed this CAPT
tai out of existence. who carries the
tax load that has been built up--the
burden falls on millions of ordinary
citizens who are still maintaining
ones and business.
Instead of studying new ways 10
increase revenues through new forms
of taxation, it should be the aim Of
every honest public official to study
methods OF reducing the tax burden
in proportion to the reduced cost of
living and commodity prices and re-
trenchment in every line of industry.
Unless this is done in systematic
manner there will be public reac-
tlon some day against oppressive tax
burdens which will shake the very
Foundation OF our government.
