some were loaned it by the Library
of Hawaii.
The Woman's Club appointed a
committed of its own members into
which it invited Senator Rice, Judge
Case, II. B. Penhallow, Charles Will
COX and j. H, Gray. That committee
framed the outlines of the County
Free Library Bill which Senator Rice
afterward had put into more complete
shape in the office of the Attorney
general. In engineering the project
the Library of Hawaii assisted.
First Steps Taken
After the passage of the bill it was
decided to act under the provision Of
the act that provided for the county
furnishing a site and building, rather
than the provision which would have
permitted the old library association
to function. The board of supervis-
ors was asked to name a library board
and appointed Joseph H. Gray,
The Maui news. [volume] (Wailuku, Maui, H.I.) 1900-current, 1922-10-10

Charles Wilcox, Mrs. d. H. Case, Mrs.
f. f. Baldwin and Mrs. Sam Baldwin.
Later Mrs. Sam Baldwin resigned
and Senator Harold w. Rice was ap-
pointed to fill the vacancy.
Meantime had come the selection
OF a library site. Judge and Mrs.
Case advocated the site that was
selected and by so doing gave up
their home to library purposes. The
Board of Supervisors decided to pur-
chase the land and building at the
corner of High and Wells streets for
$500 and appropriated an additional
sum for alterations. In all $500 has
been spent on alterations and improve
ments.
The board of library managers had
elected J. II. Gray, chairman and
Mrs. ID. II. Case secretary AMI pro-.
ceeded to secure the old associations
property and engaged the services of
Miss Marion Morse. Miss Morse ar.
rived from the mainland, September
l, 1921 and began her duties at once.
Until the alterations were com
pleted in the Main and High street
property II was allowed to occupy
the room in the Alexander House
Settlement Building.
In the equipping of the library
~permanency was considered and all
book shelves purchased are of Art
Metal and much of the other equip
ment and furnishings are also of
metal. For the reading ROOM, how
ever. wooden tables and chairs were
selected, It being desired to retain as
large as possible a proportion of the
years funds for purchase of books.
One room in the library building
has been furnished by the Maui Wo-
mans Club as a woman's rest room
and is an attractive addition.

quarters and therefore were not re-
garded as Scouts in an Official sense.
Beginning November l the present
Executive visited all the outlying
towns and plantations and organized
troop committees and secured scout,
masters, etc. 1t was hard up hill work
as the hours of the plantation men
were long and men who would or
could give their time to troops were
very few. The growth has been slow
but healthy and today there are twelve
troops well organized with troop COM
mittees and scoutmasters in charge.
Following is the date of registration

In 1921 thirteen scouts and three
officials made the Crater Ditch Trail
on horse back and in 1922 thirty-three
scouts and three officials made the
same trip on foot. Hundreds of week
end hikes and week end camps have
been held in all of which the scouting
program was adhered to.

MAUI COUNTY FREE LIBRARY

Maui County Free Library is the
fruit of persistent effort on the part
of a number of public spirited Maui
folk among the most t~ireless being
Judge and Mrs. d. H. Case and Mrs.
T. B. Linton. The Woman's Club
took up the proposal and Maui News
entered The lists in its behalf. Sena-
tor Rice introduced a measure Great

legislature and engineered the mea-
sure through, so he is the Legislature
father of the library project.
Prior to the passage of the act there
had been a Maui Library Association
which had succeeded in collecting
some books and managed to keep an
organization going. II was housed in
the Alexander House Settlement
building and was kept open a few
hours daily only. There were maya
zines but in its last few years very
few new books were added, though

MAUI BOY SCOUTS
By w. H. Hutton, Executive

The constitution of the Maui Coun-
Gil Boy Scouts was adopted in Decem.
Der, 1920. We are therefore about two
years old. Up to the time of the adop-
ton of the constitution and forming
OF the present Council considerable
work had been accomplished along
Scout lines. On May %, 1914. through
the efforts of DR.. A. McLaren, who
was in charge of the Settlement, the
Boy Scouts of America organized a
Council in Waikiki. DR.. McLaren had
charge of the temporary organization
until July %, 1914, when it was or
ganized for all the island of Maui.
At this time a meeting of the Council
was called and the following officers
elected: c. c. Campbell, president;
Father Bruno Bens, vi~ce.president;
Captain O. ]. Whitehead, treasurer;
". F. Crockett, secretary. McLaren
was elected Commissioner but resign
ed soon after the Council was properly
organized and was Commissioner for
about a year. Father Francis of Paia
was elected Commissioner and acted
in that capacity until 1916 when he
resigned. Mr.. L. r. Matthews was APP
pointed Commissioner in 1916 and con
tinued so until January 9, 1918. Mr..
Puck vas Commissioner during 1918
1920.
During Mr.. McLaren's time there
were only three troops; n at Paia,
one at Puunene and one at Wailuku.
The scoutmasters at that time were
Father Francis at Paia, Father Am
brose at Puunene and John Kamaka
at Waikiki.
Dr.. Baldwin gave valuable service
to the Boy Scouts. He was president
from 1916 to 1920 when he resigned
and Mr.. c. D. Lufkin was elected pres
ident.

and in a number of cases of fainting

In the work of alterations County
Engineer Low lent valuable assistance
and by so doing saved the library a
considerable sum of money.
Built Up Quickly
Miss Marion Morse, the librarian is
the one who built up the Maui County
Free Library, put it on its splendid
operating basis and got it ~functioning
smoothly and more extensively than
had been expected in a very short
time. At all times she has had the
cooperation of the board of managers
and they were unanimous in their re-
quest that she renew her contract with
The Maui news. [volume] (Wailuku, Maui, H.I.) 1900-current, 1922-10-10

the library at the end of its first year
which she did.
From her first annual report render
ed to the board of managers in July
last the following data is secured.
The Maui County Free Library start
ed operations with 1855 disable vol
umes purchased from the old Maui
Library Association at the nominal
figure of S157.S7 which enabled that
organization to liquidate it's debt. To
these were added through a loan from
the Library of Hawaii about 1900 vol
umes, 1859 were purchased new and
there were gifts of 245, making about
The Maui news. [volume] (Wailuku, Maui, H.I.) 1900-current, 1922-10-10

5000 volumes on July 1. Since the
making out of that report, however,
several hundred more volumes have
been added and ~catalogued.
While an annual report that of Miss
Morse covers only ten months of &C
tual operations since it was Septem-
Der when the work of the Free Library
started. In that time from the main
library only there were loaned 1925
volumes and the number of persons
holding borrowers cards
from SO in September to $50 In June.
About so percent of the volumes loan
ed were juveniles.
Branches Established
Not until January was the work OF
handling branches undertaken. TO
the branches there were sent out in
six months 2545 volumes and partial
reports from them show a circulation
of 6451. Full reports would have con-
siderably increased those figures,

umes and last month, also, new as
