Two Views of the Teacher Problem
MMlnnMIMIn

Editor Maui News:
Your editorials on the housing of
Maui's school teachers should start
something. Any thinking person who
has read the facts as set forth in your
issue of September 20 cannot help but
see at least one part of the system is
all wrong, which is that the principal
of each school should arrive at the
school in advance to see hat the prop
erty is in condition for occupancy by
teachers and scholars before the open
ing day of school. This is an absurd
and impractical system-in fact, it is
not system; it is the Sinking of re-
sponsibility by the proper authorities.
Who puts up the money for the school
houses and teachers cottages? Who
builds these schools and teachers cot
tages? Who, then, should take care of
these buildings and the taxpayers
money? Should it be entrusted to a
school principal who is on vacation
and perhaps does not return at all to
the job? For instance, the present
principal of the Haiku school was ap-
pointed at the eleventh hour'-she
had even to hustle to arrive in time
for the opening of school. Is she to
be held responsible for the condition
of the teachers cottage? Now, this is
only one true instance of numerous
similar ones, and such a system is
certainly a joke, and it is also a sorry
joke. The intelligent citizens and
taxpayers of Maui are all interested
in our educational system-it is the
most important thing in the social
welfare of the island. Have the teach
ers contented and they will do better
work and be willing perhaps to stay.
Have them disguised at the outset,
then what? 1t is up to the super
visors to institute a system for the up
keep and proper repair of u school
buildings and teachers cottages that
will prove a credit to themselves and
to Maui, and so correct the present
un~businesslike and unsystematic pro-
cedure. w. A. BALDWIN.

Japanese Leave Twice
as Fast as Last Year
DAILY Nippu Jiiil


More japanese returned to their
home land from the territory during
the first six months of this year than
during the IL months of last year, ac-
cording to figures prepared by the
local agency of the Togo Kisen Kai-
sha. The steamship agency's figures
give the excess of departures over ar
rivals for this year ending June 80 as
2505, against 1897 during the II
months of 1920. The total number
of departures during the first six
months of this year, according to the
steamship lines records, is 4123.
against 1913 arrivals. The total de
partures throughout the last year ag-
gregated $3.50, against 1892 arrivals.
The company's figures also show
that the average monthly departures
during 1920 was 449, against 2S2 ar
rivals. the excess of departures over
arrivals for the average month of
1920 being 1877.
For the first six months of this
year, the average monthly departures
was 6SS, against 270 arrivals, the ex-
cess of departures over arrivals for
the average month for the first half
of this year being 41S.
The average monthly departures
over arrivals for the first half of this
year over that of last year number
251.

UNUSUAL MESSAGE CAUGHT

Unusual static conditions last night
enabled the local wireless station to
pick up a message from Cape Cod,
Massachusetts, which is more than
5000 miles from Hilo, reports the Trib-
une of last Sunday. The message was
plainly caught by J.. Sousa, operator
at Kaiwaihae, and Charles B. Ross,
operator at Hilo. The message was
from the naval station at Cope Cod
to a ship at sea. 1t is seldom that
wireless messages can be distin-
guished here from the low-powered
stations on the west coast, and the
fact that the message last night was
flashed from the northeast coast is
considered remarkable.

Prehistoric Writing
Is Found Upon Rocks
of Island Of Lanai

Petroglyphs carved in the rocks by
a prehistoric race inhabiting the Ha-
waiian Islands are the subject of sci
entific study now being made under
the auspices oof the Bishop Museum
by Kenneth p. Emory, assistant eth
nologist, says Honolulu Star-Bulletin.
Whether these pictorial records
were made by ancient Hawaiians or
by some race preceding the Hawaiians
in these islands has not been deter
mined. The Oldest Hawaiians now
living seem to know nothing about
these carvings or to have any idea of
their significance. Undoubtedly the
different figures, their attitudes and
relations to each other on the rocks
would tell the story of the life, &C
tivities and origin of these ancient
artists and historians if the key to
their meanings could be discovered.
Mr.. Emory is now making an ex-
haustive study of the p~troglyphs at
Kealiakapu, Lanai, in an effort to
trace their significance and to learn
something about the people who left
this large and imperishable pictorial
history. He has obtained the assist
ance of an old Hawaiian and many
months will be devoted to the work,
but as yet the origin of the carvings
is shrouded in mystery.
The district of K~ealiakapu, Lanai,
is very rich in the petroglyphs. A
thorough search is being made for all
specimens. The rocks have to be
carefully cleaned and sometimes exca-
waited, after which pictures are taken
along with a complete record of the
places. Other p~etroglyphs are known
to exist on the islands of Molokai, Ha-
wall and Oahu, but this is the first
time that any scientific study of them
has been made.
