IN SCHOOLS

One OF the big things that is to be undertaken by the Athletic Com
mttee of the Maui County Fair and Racing Association and heads of
welfare work will be the fostering of athletics in the public schools.
1t is a plan that is being worked out now and will, in the course of a
few months, be initiated, it was said at a meeting of the committee this
week. Members of the committee agree it is one of the very biggest
things that lies before them.
Perhaps it is a bromide, that old saying that healthy bodies tend
to make healthy minds, but age has not diminished the truth that is
contained i'll it. "An work and no play makes Jack a dull boy" is
equally true. Regulated play, however, especially play conducted under
well founded rules for athletic sports is all the better and the necessary
motives as well as the necessary control will come from the support
given the project by the Athletic Committee.
From the Athletic standpoint alone, it would be well worth while.
Casting the vision five years forward it can be readily conceived what
can be brought about starting with athletic training in the fifth grades
of the schools. There will grow up a group OF more hardy, more &C
tive, more energetic youths, inbued with the spirit of fair play, honest
and honorable competition and good craftsmanship. In competition
with the youth of other islands they will be the better able to uphold
the prestige of Maui and as year follows year there will be stepping
out from the schools younger athletes to take the places in the ranks
left by those who retire from active competition.
The members of the committee are right. 1t is one of the biggest
things that could be undertaken by them, big in the lives of those who
will receive athletic training, big for their future careers in business
and industry, big in the community as working for a more healthy, a
stronger, a more physically fit race as time goes forward.

UNIVERSITY WINS FRIENDS

Friends are being won by the University of Hawaii on Maui this
week through the taste of university extension service that is being
given. That taste is such an appeizing sample that Maui will be ready
for more, much more, when the college year opens in the fall and, it
is promised, the University of Hawaii will not cease in its well doing
for the Valley Isle but do more and even better. 1t is an excellent
star. that has been made.
Members of the party from the University say that the attendance
at the first of the sessions, that in kahuui on Monday evening, drew
proved to be larger than did the lectures in Ilo or other Big Island
points and larger than any on Kauai except on a special occasion when
one was given in connection with a club meeting. The course i'll dress
making and designing which has been given by Madame Dahl, though
very brief and intensive, has made a distinct appeal to the women, the
sessions having been well attended and pronounced as exceptionally
worth while. Up to this writing, DR.. Andrews has not been heard on
this side of Maui but his first lecture here tonight is looked forward
to with peasurable anticipation on the part of persons who were not
especially interested in the subjects of livestock raising, agriculture and
cane culture. The week of service is sufficiently diversified to be wide
B enjoyed.
There is a field for educational work OF the type that is being I'M
dertaken. There is in the ciizenry of Maui a large class that has
long wanted something of the kind. The service that may be expect
ed in the future will fill a need for that class, a void that has existed
in its life, because of the isolation of the community from things of
the kind.
On the other hand, the representatives of the University are well
pleased to find that such a field was awaiting their coming. They are
glad to bring the service and still better pleased to find that it is want
ed, that the gifts they bring are acceptable and re accepted.
Even in the schools, among the children, the coming of the party
has brought happiness and interest. To see the children hunting in
sects to bring to Mr.. Sweezey for explanations as to what they are and
how they may be combated by the gardener s. all the proof that could
be asked on that point. Their eagerness and their intentness tell the
story.
University extension, Judging from the first experience with it on
Maui, is indeed a service, a well worth while service, which it is hoped
will grow and widen in scope as in popularity.

JUST LIKE KRAUSS

Garden Island, in its account of University Extension Service week
on Kauai has considerable to say about F. G. Krauss, who was one OF
the workers in the party, his talks dealing especially with homestead
ing and the experiences of the homesteader. The recognition of the
modest, unassuming character of the citizen Maui is soon to lose and
the University OF Hawaii is to gain, is one that all who know him feel
he is entitled to- showing Kraussa as they know his kindly character. The
following is truly, just like Krauss:
MI. Krauss didn't boost his own achievement in his led-
ue. He is too modest to do that. But he is Hawaiis out
standingly successful homesteader. On his Maui homestead
he has decidedly made good. He has made the place pay
financially. He hiss built a real home there. He has made an
important place for himself in the community life of the is
land, and he has, by his experimentation, found out many
things that have meant much in hard dollars and satisfaction
to Hawaiis agriculture. If there were a majority of home
steaders OF Mr.. Krauss' caiber, not a mar in Hawaii would
dare to stand up and criticize homesteading.

TRUE INDEED

Remarks the Bystander in the Honolulu Advertiser.
"The law commonly known as the 'Desha Bathing Suit Act has
been in force about three weeks. was one of those who thought it
should be put on the statute books, and said so. l have changed my
mind. Why? Because it is not being observed, and l am convinced
will never be observed, and further that it is beyond the power of the
officers of the law to enforce it..
ooh. YES, the bathers in the Waikiki district do go to the beach

"Ask any married man."

Purchase by the board of supervisors of a site and building for the
county library evidently met the wishes of the majority of those who
appeared before the board. While this paper believed the expenditure
of an equal sum for books was preferable, it was merely a matter of
opinion and view point, Maui News willingly bows to the wishes of the
majority and congratulates the board on its action and the residents
of Maui on the results that will come from the boards decision.

Request for $4,000 to $4,000 for improvements to the baseball
park made the board of supervisors sit straight up, and had a similar
effect o others at the meeting. 1t developes, however, that the sum
is not wanted all this year and that $1,000 o $4,000 for grading may
suffice. The project extends over two or three years. That puts it in
a different light.
