Anahola, March 1. 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

During the- latter part of last

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. Brodie,
we were shown through the various

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

minutes before noon recess. We
happily accepted an invitation by
the principal to, make a few re

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

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
