Good Program VIII Be
Staged AT Puunene's
Tank This Evening

Puunene tank and club house will
be a scene of gayety tonight at the
water carnival and dance for which
Invitations issued last night. Those
in charge of the affair said last night
that entries have some in well and
there will be some keen competition
aniGng Maui swimmers o the RIB
bons that are offered as an evidence
of prowess displayed. Though hasti-
ly arranged the program is an excel
lent n and except in the order of
events there are nc changes in the
list announced in Maui News. Jack
Hjorth, the diver, is the only out
sider' and will stage two exhibitions,
one of fancy diving and the other of
comical diving. He arrived from HO-
nolulu this morning.
It is regarded as probable that in
the future Maui swimming meets will
stand on the merits of the Islands
own performers and that it will only
be on exceptional occasions that Ho-
nolulu and other stars will be invi-
ted over and have their expenses
paid. The public likes to see the
other Islands swimmers but the
bringing of them here is a costly
matter. 1t is planned to have fire.
quent meets in the future but to o n
fine the events to Maui so far as
paying of expenses of outside COM
petitors is concerned.
Last Night chairman Hughes of the
swimming committee reported that
the recent meet when Weissmuller
and Kealoha were seen in the Pun
meme tank would show a small ba-
lance on the right side of the book.

Organized Sport and
Play In Schools Has
Good Start This Year

Organized play and sports in the
grammar schools of Maui were at
least given a start in the past school
year and those back of the movement
to introduce physical culture and
health care in the public schools feel
that the efforts of the year were well
worth while. Teachers who felt little
interest in the subject at the start
became strong advocates of the pro
ject in numbers of instances before
the school year ended.
Many Instead Of Few
The purpose of the movements is
to bring all of the pupils of the
schools into athletics, sports and
games instead of only a few being
interested. A standard is set for
children of certain ages or grades
and when they excel such standard
in any branch of sports or games,
they are credited accordingly. The
average of each grade is taken and
the average of the whole school. This
year pennants were awarded to the
school and to the grade making the
best showing but it is hoped also to
award individual medals in the future
Funds for such a program were not
forthcoming this year. What money
there was came from Alexander
House Settlement.
Certain games and sports are laid
down in the program which include
track athletics and field sports for
the older boys, baseball, basket ball,
volley ball, soccer, long ball and kick
ball for the girls and posture" for
the younger children. For a certain
standard points are given and for
higher standard, more points. The
games have to be official" in the
school, hat is have proper officials
and watchers. There is a chart made
out and given to the teachers so
they may keep their records.
Methods of Scoring
In determining the standard of the
schools the interest and attention
shown by the teachers in carrying
out the program are considered and
there were three inspections during
the year. Each teacher was rated
according to the evidence at such in
spections, so points for good, rs for
superior and 100 for excellent. Thus
it was possible under the arrange
ment for a teacher to secure 800
points and the marks of all the
teachers were averaged for that of
the school. In some instances schools
which might have ranked much high.
er are down the list by reason of
lack of interest by teachers or princi-
pals.
In one instance it is reported the
records were destroyed. In another
the records of upper grade pupils
were lost and in some instances the
sports and games were not carried
on as directed so that records could
be maintained of them. In two in
stances records were lost entirely. At
Waikiki through some misunder-
standing the games were not conduct

ed as required by the program. Upper
grade records were lost at Spreckles-
vile. At st. Anthony schools only
the girls records we're kept. Under
such circumstances the following
table does not perfectly reflect the
progress Of the pupils.
For the pupils there was no de-
finite limit of points they might not
reach, for the teachers $50 points is
good, 225 superior and 800 would be
the highest possible. In posture the
highest possible rating would be 20
which would mean that every pupil
in that school passed all five tests.
The following table shows the
standards achieved the first year.
