the Superintendent recommended GER

A, the class of superior teachers, who
bv reason Of their classification would
have received the better pay, the City
Council (Which body alone has the
right to fix and pay alanes) refused
to grant the salary recommended, on
the grounds Of discrimination against
teachers of longer tenure of service.
The CITY Council, therefore, repudiat-
ed the plan recommended by the Sup
erintendent and adopted by the City
Board of Education, and adopted the
policy Of paying all teachers equally,
irrespective of ability, thus in great
many instances putting a premium up
on inefficiency and refusing to re-
ward the meritorious teacher, who by
reason of superior training and
scholarship was enabled to render the
superior service. Be it further said

REAL FAIR

Ever since the formation of the Maui County Fair and Racing
Association the more public spirited members OF the community have
been giving to the Association their consistent support and 1t has been
such support that made possible the holding of annual fairs and other
outdoor entertainments and has resulted in giving to Maui grounds
and fair buildings which are the admiration, perhaps the envy, of the
residents of all the other Islands of the group. The members have
paid their initiation fee and the small annual dues, some of them
have given much valuable time to the creation and conduct of the
fairs and practically all have given real support to such undertakings,
some is exhibitors and others in different ways. AL. that they have
received in return which non-members did not has been the conscious
ness of civic duties well performed and the satisfaction OF achieve
ments of the association that were worth while. Virtue has been its
own reward.
Members have generally not asked for anything for the contin-
that they should have something and purpose that their membership
shall have some recognition. Inducements for membership are to be
offered.
When races are held July a., the choice of reserved seats will be
offered to members first. 1t is desired that the same shall be done at
the swimming meet June II and when the next fair is held once again
the first choice of boxes and seats will be offered to those who main
tain the association. There is nothing unfair in this. Those who are
in a position to purchase boxes or reserved seats are generally in a
position to assist in the maintenance OF the organization that produces
the attractions. The initiation fee is small and the annual dues are
only nominal. In the future no one will need to inquire What do
get from my membership"
1t is also proposed that there shall be given in the Territorial
building at least three dances or other entertainments during the veal.
Such added entertainment features will add to the social life of the
tied residents to give their support to the Association which makes pos
sible such events. 1t is not tina. the Fair and Racing Association has
not a good membership but the feeiog exists among a large portion
of such membership that it is such a truly worth while institution as
to warrant the joining of it by every one in Maui who an afford the
initial payment of $40 and an additional dollar each year. Before
the next fair opens its agtes the association should have at least 500
names on its roster.

UNIVERSITY EXTENSION ON MAUI.

Quick action has come from the suggestion that Maui might pro-
htaby have a university extension course. The Wonans Club re-
quested W. A. Baldwin to make plans for such a course, F. C. Krauss
sent a copy OF the Maui News editorial to DR.. A. H. Dean, president
of the University, Mr.. Baldwin conferred with Mr.. krauss and on
Tuesday the latter received a letter from Prof. David Crawford, in
charge OF university extension work, advising that the week begin
ming May 10 shall be devoted to Maui. The lectures are to be offered
under the auspices of Maui Womans Club which will doubtless have
further information for the public soon.
What Maui will do with its chances to secure this phase of edu-
catlonal work remains to be seen. 1t is not improbable that the start
I'LL not D. a mighty one but there is every reason for confidence that
from whatever start may be made large results will grow. 1t NAV take
time, Will take time, to determine what particular courses will most
please what subjects will arouse the greatest interest but with a start
made this Spring a continuance must be brought about in the Fall.

Maui News this week starts IS a feature a list of Coming Events
and purposes to continue the feature each issue. 1t is believed the
reading public will find the column useful and convenient and it can
be made still more SO by proper cooperation. If the secretaries of
clubs, lodges, societies and other organizations will mail in or phone
in notifications of dates and places of meetings and entertainments
they will be given a place in the column and no charge is made for
such insertion. The longer in advance they are sent in, the greater
the publicity they will receive.

To the economic side of the question there arises another one,
the unfarness to the child as well as to the public of permitting the
unfit to wed and bring children into the world with a legacy
of degeneracy for the children and imbeciiy for grandchildren or

discouraged and at times even encouraged.
The editor OF this paper recognizes that the suggestion that pro-
pagation of the mentally unfit must be prohibited and prevented will
meet with some opposition from various quarters. The proposal is
considerably in advance of present day social ideas. 1t may be too

they were 1oosened slightly. Then
with a final effort he snapped the last
bond, 1eaped across the barrier OF
fame and, Selling sQuaw, pitched
her into the fire.
Before the Indians could recover
from their surprise, the scout escaped
from the village and plunged into the
woods, holly pursued by hundreds Of
savages. Finally he came to the
Cuyahoga river, near the present site
of Kent in Portage county.
At this place the river flowed be-
tween steep, rocky banks, % feet
across from side to side. The scout
was trapped. There was no other place
for miles up and down the river where
he could ford it. The Indians were
closing In on him and his only chance
of escape was to try to leap across the
chaSm.
Brady could hear the savages yell
ing in the woods only a short distance
away as he ran back toward them to
get a good start. Then turning, he
sped for the brink and putting all his
railing SCESu&Lu IuLO d uudI squirt, uS
sprang for the opposite cliff. His
Jump was a little short and he struck
the bank a few feet below the edge.
The Indians stopped in amazement,
then as the scout scrambled up over
the edge, they opened fire.
They wounded him in the leg, delay
ing his flight, and in a short time were
on his heels again. He came to lake
and plunged in. STOPPING beneath the
broad pads Of water lily, he breathed
through a hollow reed while the saw
ages hunted in vain on the shores OF
the lake. They found his bloody trail
to the waters edge and, believing that
he had drowned rather than be cap
tured again, gave up the chase.
Soon afterward Brady reached Fort
Pitt in safety. He had many more
thrilling adventures before his death
on Christmas day, 1705, but his 22-foot
leap across the CuyahOga was the
greatest feat of all.
