ATHLETICS IN SCHOOLS

Thoroughly comprehensive plans for the introduction into the
schools of Maui of athletic and health instruction extending from
the lowest to the highest grades are those that were presented last
"Wednesday afternoon to the School Commissioner and Superintendent
of Schools and that evening to the Athletic Committee of the Maui
County Fair and Racing Association. In the near future this paper
will summarize the plans and print such summary in detail so that
parents may post themselves ON just what is proposed.
With such a program in operation Maui will take a long step in
advance of the other counties of the Territory and also will be away
ahead Of the mainland. In some states athletics have been intro
duced into the schools and in other schools there is given health in
Struction, but a combining of the two is a novelty, a highly progress
even here were it not for the splendid organization of Alexander
House Settlement, three of whose workers will take a prominent
part in the supervision of the work.
Starting at the very beginning, in the first grade, a course of
physical training will be undertaken. Naturally the games and
sports in which the children of the lower grades will participate are
simple and not strenuous. AS they gain strength and vigor and be-
come a little older and a little larger, the games and sports, as they
should, become more intensive. At the same time the children are
shown that the better care of their health they take, the better will
be their showing in competitive sports, and in that way health build
ing becomes Il sort of game, a recreation and a pleasure.
by securing the support of the department of public instruction it
would devolve upon the teachers to see that the program is carried out
just as they have to carry out a program of instructions in their class
rooms. When a principal and his or her teachers know that the prog
rcss each grade and the whole school makes in the program adds to
or dctracts from the credit and the standing of the school, then will
they Of necessity enter into the work.
Before being allowed to compete in sports the child will have
to measure up to specified standards, but such standards have not
been made too high, and as the child excels such standards, 80 the
credits it earns are increased. SO also the standard set in each sport
is not so high as to exclude even a child of mediocre physical abil-
ties from securing credits. 1t is a method of helping the children
themselves to build up a strong manhood and womanhood in the
community, strong in mind as well as in body.
1t is L fortunate that there is no fund raised from school taxes
that is available for the conduct of the plan, but Maui has the most
progressive county government and the broadest minded board of
believes, be counted upon to render any and every assistance that
the county finances will warrant.

CLEAN UP FOR VISITORS

In less than six weeks Maui will have for its guests the most
prominent publishers, editors, news and magazine writers of the
world. 1t will show them the resources of the Island at the Fair and
some of the scenic beauties of the Valley Isle on sightseeing expedi
tons. Scenically and commercially a good impression is sure to be
-aade, but what will be the impression it will make as a home and
residential community? Is Maui going to receive company with a
dirty face, or will it prink up and strive to make a good appearance?
The fair grounds will be at their best, but what sort of a showing
will the houses and lots they pass on their visit present? Will they
see lots Overgrown with weeds with piles of debris here and there
or shall such unSightliness be removed? There should be a pantup
and cleanup week in advance of the reception of such prominent
visitors.
1t is unfortunate that the first meeting of the year of Maui
WomanS Club will not be held until the week of the FAN, for if
that live wire organization were in a position to take the initiative
then something would surely be accomplished. It's members are real

However, there is another organization which does not usually
NEEDLE with Identification plans, but which may take the initiative,
if it will. The Chamber Of Commerce meets Thursday and might
start a cleanup campaign. If undertaken there is no doubt that
the health board representative here would gladly cooperate, and so
also would the county officials.
1t is a good thing for any community to clean up from time to
time, and now there comes to Maui an incentive to paint up, remove
unsightliness and to put itself in shape for the winter while it is
preparing to receive distinguished guests.
Perhaps while the years work of the Woman's Club is not to be
started until in October, its civic department may be in shape to
take a prominent part in the initiative of such a cleanup week,
which should be not later than the last week of the month.
