Teachers Cottages
Reported as Found
in Sorry Condition
(Contributed)

iSOhll lpultuD
At the meeting of the education
department of the Maui Woman's
Club held last week, which was at
tended by about a dozen women,
much Indignation was expressed at
the condition of many. of the teachers
cottages, few of which seem to be
equipped in a manne fit for habita-
ton. In the Pauwela cottage not a
drop of water could be obtained,
there seemed to be no place of any
kind furnished for clothes, not even a
closet, and the bathtub, if such it
could be called, was in an unspeak-
able condition. The girls found it i'm
possible to live there and were taken
in by a kindly neighbor for a few
days.
This state of affairs is nothing new.
Year after year many of the teachers
face conditions similar or even worse
and nothing is done to remedy the
matter. These girls have a right to
expect comfortable quarters of some
kind to live in and if they were not
the good sports that they show them
selves to be by making the best of a
trying situation, many of them would
take the first boat back to the main
land.
In the outlying districts where con-
ditions are hardest, the least is done
to relieve the situation. In many in
stances the godmothers of the schools
or those living nearest to the cottages
have done their best, even contribut-
ing things from their OWL homes to
help furnish the cottages, but no
teacher likes to feel that she is an
object of charity, and at the same
time they should not be expected to
spend their first months salary or
more for furniture which they will
only need for a few months.
The crowded condition of some Of
the cottages may be unavoidable for
lack of funds to build as many cot
tages as are needed, and just who Is
to blame for the neglected appear
ance of the premises and shortage of
furniture is not clear, but 1t should
be somebody's duty to see that the
cottages are put into habitable con-
dition by the time the teachers arrive
and the teachers should not be re-
quired to buy furniture and pay for
it from their own pockets. What are
we going to do about 1t?
A great deal has been said and
written about A~mericanizing the chill
dren who attend our public schools
- d everything is done to attract good
teachers from the mainland to the end
that American principles shall be at
irts hand taught the foreign speak
ing population. Would it not be bet
ter to try to keep those already here
for at least another years work by
making them as comfortable as posi-
BILE so that they will be in no hurry
to leave? Many of the teachers like
their work and would gladly stay on,
but they are disguised with their liv-
ing conditions.
The Woman's Club expects to take
up the matter vigorously and going
to expect the assistance of the entire
community.

PHOSPHORUS potassium, calium the
last three being mineral plantfood
elements. Nitrogen the most valuable
plantfood is a colorless gas forming
three-fourth of the atmosphere; but
to be available it must be in the form
of a compound that is soluable in wa
ter, SO as to form the liquid food for
the plant. All these p%lantfoods can
be applied to the soil in the form of
commercial fertilizers and it is quite
a common thing to see the plantations
dissolving nitrate soda, which con-
tains a large percentage of nitrogen
in the irrigating bitches, so that the
can may feed upon the liquid plant
food. This nitrate of soda comes from
Chile and is very expensive, but you
can get all the nitrogen you want
from the air free for the taking. And,
this brings under consideration the
extremely important and interesting
subject of bacteria in the soil.

KENTUCKY MOTOR CLUB TO SUE
THE STATE

The directors of the Kentucky
Motor Club, by majority vote, have
authorized the filing of a suit
against the State Road Department
to compel the observance of q Court
of Appeals decision handed down in
1917 in the Smith case, Albert L.
Terstegge, president of the club, has
announced. If successful this suit
would, the club says, require that
the fund derived from automobile
license fees be applied to mainten-
ance of the completed highways of
the State.
Stiff opposition to the suit, how
ever, is expected to come from the
State Road Department and other
administration circles. Governor
Morrow, it is said, will take a hand
in the matter, having already sent
kilograms and letters to the direc-
tors for Tuesday, November Is, at
the clubs Offices, to give the Cover
nor a hearing. Members of the
highway commission also are ex-
pected to attend.
