TRANSPORTING SCHOOL CHILDREN

Talk crystaized into action when a first definite step looking to the
transportation of children living at a distance from the school which
they must attend was taken at the meeting held to consider legislation
for Maui, last Friday afternoon. The meeting was held to insure united
action by the Maui legislators on the subjects approved.
1t is quite true that the amount asked, 5000 a year, is small and
will not go far, but it marks a start and it must be remembered that
it is designed to meet emergencies and does not mean immediate con-
soLdaton OF small schools INTO larger ones, though it will ultimately
lead to such a policy. Transportation and consolidation, although allied
subjects, are by no means the same at the inception.
Such opposition as has been voiced to the proposal was based in
part upon confusion of the two proposals and a recognition that to en-
bark on a policy of consolidation would require a large appropriation.
for those in whose hands such expenditures as re authorized will be
placed, that 81 many will want transportation a large sum would be re-
CURED to grant their demands, that persons and districts would COM
plain OF discrimination.
Primarily the purpose OF securing transportation is to enable chill
dren who have not completed the grammar grades but have gone as
far as they can in the nearby school to secure at least a grammar
school education. 1t should not be difficult to lay down definite rules
in advance OF furnishing such transportation.
In the first place there should be the requirement that no other
means of transportation is available and that the children to be taken
back and forth live beyond walking district. AT the outset a minimum
distance of three miles might be made a requirement. Secondly a
minimum number of children within the area to be covered should be
made a prerequisite. 1t cannot be expected that transportation shall
be furnished for one or two children; there should be a group that can
be cared for together. Such a policy laid down, it should be found that
mere are not the difficulties attached to the problem that some have
leared.
Unless unexpected opposition arises the legislation will prevail and
from the small beginning may grow up a great system in the years to
come.

ELKS TO HOLD CARNIVAL

During the war the Mid Pacific carnival, Honoulus annual winter
event, was abandoned but this year it is to be revived and the Eks have
undertaken the revival. And it is eminently fitting that the order which
grew up from the Jolly CorkS, a small coere of actors, poets and prose
writers, into the greatest American order there is should have assumed
the task. They are eminenty fitted for such an undertaking and Ho-
noulu lodge No. 66 can be counted upon to furnish something clean
and worthwhile.
Mid-Pacihc Carnival in the past has furnished enjoyment for tour
lists, for Honolulans and for residents OF the other Islands who have
in Island amusement life and should be welcomed back, all the more
when such an organization as the Eks undertakes it.
On Maui there is a goodly number of Elks, some members of O6,
some members of mainland lodges and the old call Hello Bill is being
sounded. Such Elks as can arrange to go should put forth the effort
and other Mauites who are ready for a few days of fun and recreation
cannot do better than make the trip over to Oahu and secure it. The
trip is sure to be a profitable one from the entertainment view point and
the carnival idea and the Elks as a organization both deserve all the
support Maui can give them.

To be Done in Autumn

Contract for the building of the
new Maui High school building at
Hamakuapoko was let by the board
of supervisors at the Saturday meet
ing to e. c. Mellor for $79,75O. Mr..
Mellor was the only bidder and pre-
scented offers on three types of build
ing. The board accepted the offer for
concrete construction instead of tile
walls which means a saving of some
$4,000. The structure is to be built
after the plans prepared by Dickey &
Wood, Honolulu architects. The terms
provide for completion in IT'S work
ing days so that the building may be
ready for occupancy on the opening

ing is to be removed and the grounds
terraced up. Approach to the new
building is up a flight of steps and a
sloping path. Around the entire front
there is covered lanai with arches to
the outside and giving inward en-
trance to all of the class rooms, some
what on the clustered or mission eff
feet.
Entering the lobby from the lanai
at the center of the building to the
right are the principals office and sup
ply room while to the left are the
library and the teachers oom The
lobby extends backward to the audi
forum, 81 by 80 feet, inclusive of a
stage II feet in depth. There is seat
ing capacity for about 220.

large class room besides the science
room which has a dark room and
laboratory connected with it. There
are also ample toilets, wash rooms
and coat rooms. Domestic science
will be housed in a building already
erected for 1t.

Maur leads the other counties in percentage OF school attendance
in the lower grades and lags last in percentage of attendance in the up
per grades. The reason is not hard to find. There ire many two and
three room schools where higher grades are taught and the distance to
a larger school is too great for them to continue through the grammar
course.

Figures Concerning the Apple Crop.

Growers and dealers in the apple
crop in the section including Berkeley
and Jefferson counties, West Virginia
Frederick county, Va, and Allegany
county, Md, with Winchester, Martins
burg and Cumberland as centers. have
made a canvass of present conditions
as regards the probable yield this
year The indications are that the Sec
ton will probably yield 225,0OO barrels
of apples all grades included. between
this and December LIST. The crop is
estimated at 20 per cent Of normal for
this section. Last year the yield for
the same section was approximately
I 100000 barrels, although the whole
output last year did not yield an in
come that much smaller crop the pre-
vious year had
For West Virginia as a whole the
crop is officially estimated by the gov
eminent at 8 per cent, but in this moro
heavily bearing section the percentage
will run somewhat higher The esti-
mate of per cent will hold for the
normal crop, growers concede. The

BY counties the WELD this year is es-

The scattered counties include the
following estimates Clarke county, Vir

as usual, will be the heaviest; the Cum
oerland section, one of the coming
heavy sections, is barren Of fruit this
season
The Cumberland section is so light
that one grower, H. w. Miller, owning
500 acres planted to apple trees, will
not have as much as a carload. The
main fruit exchange in Cumberland is
practically closed for the season, one of
the sales managers keeping the name
alive, it is said, by holding an Office at
his home. 1t is freely predicted that
Cumberland this year will import
rather than export apples for her own
consumption. In Martinsburg one fruit
exchange has closed down entirely for
the season and the business taken BY
the president, S. H. Fulton. to his
Sleepy Greek home. The other ex-
change has opened no its list to all
members and non-members.
The failure of the crop is due direct
ly to the succession of heavy frosts
and freezes late in March and early in
April. Only isolated and particularly
sheltered orchards escaped and sonre OF
these survived only to have their fruit
two months later pitted badly by a
heavy hailstorm.
