New ChildrenS' Home
Project is Started
To Supplant Former

Last weeks issue of the Maui News
contained an article which may have
conveyed the idea to some that the
Maui Children's Home is an abandon
ed plan because of opposition arising
writes Fatehr Justin who continues
that it also stated plainly the various
reasons which prompted such opposi-
tion.
1--WE are firmly convinced" he says,
that the reasons as set down will
not affect the broad minded spirit of
Maui and neither will the community
at large be led to forget that the need
of home still remains as urgent as
ever Projects of genuine merit have
always met with opposition based on
reasons which were either real or ina
ginary. AS a rule it simply serves TO
stimulate the interested parties to
still greater activity in their line OF
endeavor.
1T is true that the original plans
regarding the home will not be given
any further consideration; but we are
pleased to inform the good people oil
Maui that the worthy project has not
become a dead issue. There are sull
very many who have the prospective
good work at heart and who sincerely
wish to see il carried out. With their
hearty and generous cooperation the
orphaned or otherwise dependent chill

Cemetery Problem is
Again Taken Before
Supervisors Board

Again the cemetery question was
brought before the board of supervis-
ors by committee composed OF Mrs
Weddick, Mrs. Kepoikai and Mrs.
Bevins last Friday afternoon. Their
call followed a meeting which was
held to get together those who were
interested in the cemetry by reason
of having relatives buried there. 1t
appeared that they also were repre-
senting the civic department of the
Maui Woman's Club.
Some months ago the Woman's
Club sent a committee before the
board and afterward the county attor-
ney investigated the status of the
cemetery and reported. At that time
the club was seeking action from the
board. Next it was reported that a
way had been found whereby it would
be possible to settle the difficulty
through an action to be taken by rel
atives of persons buried in the ceme-
terry. 1t was also reported that such
was the purpose of a meeting called
about two weeks ago. The committee
| before the board found no further ac-
| ton had been taken by the supervis-
ors, or the county attorney who had
| believed the other method would be
employed.
Once more the proposal was made
| that the board take proceedings to
secure the cemetery as burial ground
and appoint a commission to manage
it, Again it appeared there is objec-
tion to the burial of Orientals there
and again the point was raised that
if the county secures control 1t must
be a public burial ground for all and
that the county can not restrict. 1t
is equally clear as point of law that
the board cannot delegate to others
powers any greater or broader than
it possesses for itself, cannot permit
a commission to make rules it could
not make itself.
| The charter of the cemetery associa-
| ton has been found but no copy OF
the bylaws. All those to whom the
charter was granted have died or re-
moved from the territory. There is
now practically no association.
| The counter proposal is to follow
the provisions of the law for the nam
ing of new directors for corporation
when all directors are dead or moved
away. In that case share holders
would act. 1t is suggested that foul
of the heirs of four of the persons tC
whom the franchise or charter was
granted, shall petition to the court as
would share holders, and secure an
order naming a new board OF manage
ment or directors. 1t is thought thai
such proceedings would be more eX
petitions and less costly than woulc
condemnation proceedings by the cour
ty and would meet the wishes of those
interested as could not be done should
the county act

Another Attraction
Is Added to WOman'S
Club Annual Dance

One of the best features of the re-
cent successful Variety Show pre-
sented by the Outdoor Circle will be
seen in Central Maui. "The Black
Cat Cafe" and the "Black and White
Ballet" will be presented in the Ter
ritorial Building at Kahului in con
junction with the annual dance of the
Woman's Club on April 80.
1t was found impracticable TO bring
over from Lahaina at this time all OF
the participants in the show that made
such a hit at the end of last month
but in the feature that will be pre-
sented several of the most popular
numbers then presented will be re-
peated. The scene is laid in cafe
and cabaret show with singing AMI
dancing numbers and with ballet and
chorus effects and Accomplishments is
offered. Every act in the feature was
was given encore after encore when
presented at Lahaina and the added
attraction will prove pleasing to thos'
who missed it before and those who
then saw it will welcome repeti
ton of it.
The place for holding the dance
has been changed to Kahului by rea-
son of the bringing over of the show

FOresters Building
Nearly Ready; Will
Open May Fifteenth

Preparations for the opening of the
new hall of the Foresters lodge at
Kahului are being made by the hall
trustees of the lodge May IA has been
decided upon as the date for the open
ing of the building, and invitations
have been sent TO the several Forest
ers courts in the Territory of Hawaii.
In view Of the fact that the local
Order OF Foresters numbers more
than 400 members, and the local
Ladies Circle, Companions of the
Forest numbers more than $50, it has
been deemed best by the hall trustees
to defer the public opening until some
later date, as the capacity of the hall
will not be sufficient to accommodate
the local members and their wives, to
say nothing OF additional visitors.
All of the stores on the first floor
of the building have been rented. so
that the lodge will be assured of an
income as soon as the building is
completed. 1t is believed that the
total cost of the building will be kept
within $25000 the amount originally
estimated.
The building is a credit to the town
of Kahului, the Island of Maui, and
the local Order of F'oresters.

Legislators Strive to Bring
Lahainaluna School Back
To Its Former Purpose
Members of Educational Committees of Two Houses and
Other Representatives Seek To Discover Why More
Hawaians Do Not Attend and How To Draw Them
To The Institution.

the Kamehameha schools in that res
pect, said the recent visit of Kan
students to Maui was advertising or
propaganda work and that higi:ly
satisfactory results had developed IN
the past three or four years for that
3chool from efforts in that direction.
Comparison of costs per student be-
tween Lahainaluna and Kamehameha
showed the latter cost from three TO
four times as much as the former. Sal
lries paid teachers and allegations of
discrimination against one or two
were also considered. 1t developed
that salaries had not been raised as
in the public schools because of lack
of funds. Salaries were passed upon
by the commission after hearing re-
concentrations from Prof. Mcdonald.
Another significant remark Of Mr..
Lyman was that it was not the pur-
pose of the legislature to make the
school self supporting or revenue pay
ing through the work done in the cane
fields and the gardens but to give TO
students the largest possible benefits
of an education with vocational train
ing, especially to young Hawaiians.
Relative to increasing the scope of
school work, Commissioner Lindsay
said there was postgraduate
course equivalent to the ninth public
school grade but only two students
were taking it,
On the subject of trade school it
was shown that in Honolulu only 40
attended the trade school and on
basis of population that would mean
less than half dozen for Lahaina-
luna. Senator King and Representa-
tives Muller and Holt also asked
numerous questions.
Proceed to Lahaina
Sunday morning there was session
| held at Lahainaluna school at which
facts and data about the school were
given by Prof. Mcdonald, how much
time was spent in the fields, ages of
scholars in the different grades and
nationalities of students, teachers sal
aries, school needs, the garden and
how produce is disposed of and other
kindred matters. 1t developed that
boys have to work in the helds four
hours on Sunday and have little time
for recreation on other days.
There as in Wailuku the anxiety of
the legislators to make the school one
for Hawaiians rather than Orientals
meetings it was indicated that senti-
ment is for improving the standard
and increasing the grade of study, at
tracing Hawaiians by giving them
subjects in which they are interested,
advertising and circulating propagan-
da to attract more Hawaiians, not to
abandon the general type of the school
and not to make it a boarding high
school for Maui County youths who
| live remote from a high school but
rather, as required, to establish
| high school in Lahaina proper.
The Legislators in attendance at the
meetings were Senators King, AHA,
and Akina and Representatives Henry
| Lyman, Muller, Hoopale, and Holt of
the educational committees, and Rep
resentatives Paschoal, Goodness, kau-
meheiwa, Kalua, Vannatta, Kawaha,
| Aona and Archer.

PLANTATION Dentists
Proposed; Puunene to
Be Among the First

Employment of dentists by planta-
tions for the benefit of their employees
is in sight and Maui promises to take
the lead in the movement. Manager
F. f. Baldwin of Puunene is now seek
ing to secure the proper man for his
plantation.
In recent article in a Hilo paper
DR.. 4. l.. Hutchinson is quoted as ad-
vocating such plan and as saying
that Mr.. Baldwin favored the project.
DR.. IIutchinson's idea was, apparently,
TO have one dentist for the work of
several plantations, those employees
who received sufficient wages to pay
for their work in whole or in part and
the poorer paid to receive treatment
at the expense of the plantations.
Mr. Baldwins idea is that there
should be dentist for each planta-
ton, at least for the larger ones. He
has had the matter under consider
alton for some time, has talked with
DR.. Hutchinson and with ID. C. Bow
man in charge of the general welfare
work of the Planters Association. He
said the subject received some atten-
ton at the last planters meeting when
the idea was to have one for an Is
land.
When the graduate dentist who
meets the situation for Puunene has
been secured, he will be engaged and
open an office for that plantation, Mr..
Baldwin said.
Carrying out of the proposal will
mark long step in the care of the
health of workers and interest OF the
employers in employees. In those res
poets Puunene has always been at the
forefront

Lahainaluna school, how it can be
improved and made more useful to
the youth of Hawaiian blood and how
to attract more students of that blood
to it were subjects of consideration
for members of the house and senate
committees of the legislature on edu-
cation during their visit to Maui Sat
urday and Sunday. Other questions
which rose out of tohse were why
more young Hawaiians and part Ha-
waiians do not attend, whether the
tillage of cane fields by the students
is one of the causes and whether it is
advisable to abandon the school con
duct on present lines and make it a
high school which would specialize
on vocational training.
Arriving early Saturday morning on
the Manoa the Legislators held morn
ing meeting at the Grand Hotel with
d. c. Lindsay and S. A. Baldwin of
the Lahainaluna commission and with
others who are interested in the school
AT that hearing it was manifest that
the intent of the Legislators is to make
the school one that is primarily for
Hawaiianas, as was it's purpose origin
ally and to make it more than ever
useful to Hawaiians
Figures on Attendance
In the course of the investigation ii
developed that of the SO students in
attendance As are Hawaiians, 43 Jap
anese and IL of other races or ma
! tionalities and that 20 of the 43 Jap
anese in attendance are foreign born.
Mr.. Lindsay said that preference was
| given Ia. Hawaiians and other students
not taken at the beginning of the year
until Hawaiian applicants had been
cared for but there were not enough
| Hawaiian applicants to fill the school
If a student of another race were ad
mitted he would not be removed Ia
make room for a Hawaiian after the
school year was in progress and the
roster of students filled but il one
did apply he would probably be ac'
commodated by crowding up a little
Several of those before the com
mittees, among them Supervisor Drnm
mond expressed the opinion that Ha'
waians would not attend because OF
the large number of OrientalS admit
ted but the commissioners replied that
unless the Orientals were taken the
school would not filled. Others eX'
pressed the view that HaWallans did
not enter because of the amount OF
work in the cane fields of the schools
required of them. 1t developed ihal
the plantation planted and cut the
cane and the students irrigated, cul
tivated, weeded and applied the ferti
lizer to it. About hours day IN
the fields was required 1t was brought
out that the inclination of Hawalians
is toward mechanics and not toward
field work.
Would Attract HaWaiians
One significant question was asked
by Henry j. Lyman, chairman OF the
house committee when he asked what
was thought of making knowledge
of the Hawaiian language pre-re,
quisite to entrance. Again he SAID
that the school was not properly al
vertised and brought to the attention
of Hawaiians. He contrasted 1t with

New Building For
Hospital Will be
Built by Savage

Charles Savage is the lowest bidder
for the construction of the administra-
ton building for Malulani hospital and
the contract has been awarded to him
by the board of supervisors. When
bids We're opened last Friday after
noon there were three tenders, Saw
age $11,750, Z. C. Mellor $12,5OO and
David l. Kalakaua, $4,000. The tilinS
is to he done by the county and, as
the price will exceed $1,000, separate
bids for the tiling will have to be
secured.
With the starting of the administra-
ton building completion of the main
hospital project is in sight, as County
Engineer called to the attention of the
board of supervisors in his last report
At the same time he made recommen,
dations which We're acted upon favor
ably.
In his report Mr.. Low said that no
provision had been made for q hot wa
ter system and the old way of locally
heating by hot water heating Is p-
adequate. He recommended steam
and hot water system for which be sub
mitted a plan, estimated to cost about
$4,000. He was authorized to proceed
to secure bids.
Now that the main buildings are up,
or soon will be, the improvement OF
the hospital grounds may be started,
he continued. Unsightly trees should
be cut, grounds leveled, lawns start
ed, an unsightly picket fence torn
down and the ditch on Main street
filed up. There should be two inch
main inch around the buildings with
stands at intervals for fire protection
and the old Lahaina two inch hose
brought over and kept handy.
All of his recommendations We're ap
proved by the board.
