Auahola hill was the setting for an attempt ed hold-up last Tuesday evening, when a Japanese collector who was slightly under the influence of liquor, was attacked by a'n un known bandit who was thwarted ly in his attempt, only by the inferior speed of his horse over that which was ridden by his victim. The collector was a'man who had been sent over from Honolulu, and shortly before the attack, had re ceived a payment of three hundred dollars. The transaction had evi dently been observed by the would he hitrhwavman. and before the ATTEMP ED HOLD ANAilOLA G D V. collector had gone far. he heard 1 shoutsua the rear. On turning to ' learn "the meaning of the shouts and from whence they came, a gun of some kind was fired, almost in i'jjf face.

That either the County of Kauai has more oil lan it knows what to do with or that it has a man who doesn't un derstand how to apply it, was clear- indicated one day last week, when the Waimea hill was so flood- d with oil that great pools gatner- ed on the road.

OPEN AIR BUILDING PROVES Visit is Made to Hanapepe, Makaweli, Wai mea and Kekaha Schools-Polite and In dustrious Children. During the- latter part of last week, the writer had the good for- tune t0 pav a visit t0 the schools of tl.e Wnimea and Hananene Dis tricts. Through the courtesy of Su- pervismg Principal H. H.

It is on the crest of the hill overlooking the broad, ex pausive Hanapepe valley, and by far f, . L .' ' the best location for school purposes on the island. Enjoying the charming hospitality of Mr. Brodie and his estimable wife, Wednesday night, we were soon off for Maka weli' which was reached a few minutes before noon recess. We happily accepted an invitation by the principal to, make a few re marks to the children ufter which they quietly formed a double line, l . . . marciied to a certain point near - rttlrf f,:smiPf1 . . ; ' M. . , . for luncheon. The Makaweli school is presided over by Misses Etta l,ee, Ella Iee and Mary Bryant, and has an enrollment of 202, being an average of 67 per teacher. However, the children are graded iu such a manner as kU "a - - first grade, leaving 62 each for the other two teachers, biuce the school law states plainly that "we h u , a teacher or eVer 35 .. ,, .. .... , . ... mi una, ii win uc accn iiiui uic .Department in una iuaiuni:c: as well a s many ouiers is piung more than uoume uie amount ot work on these teachers, than by law. it is justified in doing. Not withstanding the great amount of extra work they are required to perform with no extra reraunera- tion from the department, these plucky little teachers arc doing excellent work. We went direct from Makaweli to Kekaha where we again found a crowded house. There are three teachers here, one of whom we learned had 75 children. Here we again spoke to the children whose work was very commend able. Mrs. Hodge is the principal and for assistants has Miss Jordan and Miss Mejdell, both of whom were diligently at work but not too much so to greet a stranger at the portals. In addition to ex tremely well written paper3 shown us, we were escorted through ' . . -.t.i-i. i -1 - It- -r igaraens which wiuoh w pupua "i I the various grades, Tht soil here 11 INU UUUU AN EXCELLENT SCHEME is too sandy for healthy vegetable growth so the boys have carried in soil from outlying districts, added fertilizer, turned on the water and presto change beautiful vege table gardens dot the landscape surrounding the school house. . . . it Here, too we found the hrst open air school room we had ever seen, and after a close inspection concluded it was about as near the ideal school building as one could hnd. iincny uescnueu the room t - A is aDout jo teet square, has a 6 foot wall all around, above which is an opening of about four feet. The roof extends far enough to prevent rain from entering and the opening of four feet all around (.at the top of the wall) gives the ad vantage of an equal light through out the entire room. Tins opening is placed high enough to pre vent the children from seeing out, and does away with draughts as well. The lumber (1x12) which forms the walls is dressed on the interior side and two -or three coats of blackboard preparation is applied which, when hardened, be comes a serviceable board, The solid wall affords a blackboard which encircles the room without a break, save the space occupied by the door, imch a house, we were told was constructed for the sum of $360.00. It strikes us that the constructing of a number of these school rooms would be worth the consideration of the Board of Supervisors. On Friday we had the pleasure of paying our respects to the Wai mea school, presided over by Henry C. Brown, very ably assist ed by Mrs. Brown, both of whom are classified among the ablest in structors on Kauai. We regret to Say that we were not able to reach this school before dismissing time, but this misfortune was partly atoned for in the delight we ex perienced in meeting not a few of those who compose the teaching staff, and a look into the work which is being done. The very air is filled with the spirit of get up-and-go in this very systematic institution, every bit of the work indicating close supervision by the principal: painstaking and most careful preparation by the teacher, and absolute harmony among all. Two more open air school build ings have been erected here, one of which is occupied by Mrs Brown who declares it the best room she has ever taught in. We regret that for lack of time we were !.... ... .' ll .1 . ...:. - tii school while school was in session However, we called on the teach ers whom we tound to be very enthusiastic and inclined to be pretty well satisfied with the way things were progressing.
