VIOLATE
OF HEALTH RULE
Special la The Garden Island.
HANALiSi, March 8. Permit
ting a drunken sot to break into
quarentine and then, once in side,
to turn him loose on the commu
nity again; to allow the father
of a child who is i n quarentine,
to roam at will, exposing the en
tire neighborhood, certainly pre
sents something new in the way of
quarentine regulations and need
less to say will not likely meet
with the approval ot the Board of
Health.
The case of diptheria which ap
peared in a Chinese family recent
ly was cause for much alarm
among the people here, and much
relief was felt when Dr. Yanagiha-
jraso promptly established quaren
tine regulations. noweer, tnc
Doctor could not remain with the
patient, and feeling that lie had
arranged matters satisfactory, he
returned to Kilnuea. In the mean
time, the father of the child and
who lives in Wainiha, was sent for
and on arrival, was given authori
ty by the Deputy Sheriff to go and
come at will. This he proceeded
to do, by passing immediately from
the sick bed to stores, the wharf,
and anv other public place, where
his fancy might dictate. He final
ly brought up with an officer of
the Board of Health who lost no
time in explaining the situation
and asking h i s retirement from
public mixing.
The case of the drunk, was sim
ply one ot open denauce ot t n e
law. He simply bullied the guards
and passed in. He was later "fired
out," and here is the rediculous
part of it. He was "fired out,
covered with germs wlucli lie was
at liberty to distribute throughout
the vicinity. His place was, once
inside, to remain there until the
quarantine had been lifted.

Last week, we again experienced
the pleasure of visiting a number
of our public schools, including
Hanalei. Kilauea and Anahola.
In Hanalei we were greeted
with delight by more than a hun
dred boys and girls, most of whom
we had numbered in our class work
some three years ago, and needless
to say that we were equally de
lighted to meet our boys and girls
oi.ee more. And such neat child
ren they were. And how they did
work. The smaller tots are presid
ed over by Mrs. Ahi, whom we
found intensely occupied in written
work, the little ones doing their
ltmost to be neat and occurate.
Their calendar work was especially
pleasing and well done.
Missa Florence Devenll h n s
charge of the iutermmcdititc grade.
and a nicer, neater, and more well-
behaved lot of children would be
lifiicult to find. Their work was
excellent and in response to our
equest for a song, they rendered
a selection which was not only in
itself very pretty indeed, but the
manner in which it was delivered
was deserving of highest praise.
e next paid our respects to the
higher grades. Mrs. Newmann,
the principal of the school, was in
charge of these grades and on en
tering we were greeted with a cho
rus of "Good Mornings" from our
former pupils. It was indeed a
happy moment to us and uncon
sciously we found ourselves inspect
ing papers and asking a thousand
and one questions. The work in
this room, notwithstanding that
there were several grades, was ex
cellent. Not a blot was found on
their extremely neat papers, the
children were orderly, and most
polite. Knowing the reputation
that the Hanalei children have
for singing, we could not resist an
other request for. a song, which
was forthcoming with undisguised
pleasure. We gave "our" boys
and girls a little talk after which
we took our departure for Kilauea
where we arrived shortly before
the close of school.
Here, again, we met nearly two
hundred of "our" former children
who delighted us with an enthu
siastic greeting. The hour was
growing late, and we were sorry to
not be able to spend some time
with the various teachers of this
school. We did, however manage
to take a look in on each, and to
have a pleasant word or two with
the children. Our time in this
school was mostly confind to the
fifth and sixth grades which are
presided over by Mrs. Chamber
lain, who is principal of the school.
Much of our time was devoted to a
talk to ' our" former pupils, but
enough observations w&re made,
however, to learn that good work
is in progress. Both grades desir
ed to read for us, which request
was cheerfully granted, and we
have no hesitancy in saying that
the reading was equal tr that of
many 7th. and 8th. grade pupils
whom we have heard. We were
pleased with the pnv.reFsiveness
among the childre . They are
truly a nice lot of .u.rls and boys
over whom ai teacher would
feel justily pro-'fi to preside. Mrs.
Chamberlain 'isisted in the ad
ministration ot her school by Mrs.

Saturday night, and Sunday
the beautiful and always hospitable
home of Mrs. Riedel was the scene
of one of the most enjoyable social
events of the season when Kilauea
friends turned out en masse to en
joy the hospitality of one of the
truest and kindest little woman of
Kauai.
On Saturday Mrs. Riedel and
her daughter, Miss Meta Reidel,
entertained the following guests at
a delightful luncheon; Mrs. Wing,
Mrs. Myers, Mrs. Chamberlain,
Mrs. Yauagihara, Mrs. White,
Miss Teft, and Miss Keating.
In the evening a dinner was
given bv Mr. and Mrs. White and
Mr. Boreiko. The dinner was an
elaboiate affair at which was served
an abundance of every good thing
that art and ingenuity could pro
vide. Those present were Mrs.
Myers, Mr. Lester Mvers, Mrs.
Wing, Mrs. Chamberlain, Dr. and

Scott, Mr. Cooper, Mr. Macfie,
Mr. Borieko, M r . Doden Miss
Edwards, Miss Keating. Miss Teft,
Mr. and Mrs. White, Miss Florence
Deverill, and Mrs. and Miss Riedel.
Both luncheon and dinner were
served on the lanai. The table
decorations, consisting of maiden
hair ferns and daisies prettily and
daintily arranged, and the
nasturtiums and Japanese lanterns
which decorated the lanai resulted
in an artistic scheme which was
most graceful and pleasing to the
eye.
After dinner an old fashioned
social dance was given, which was
enjoyed immensely by all present.
Music was furnished through the
kindness o f Mr. Doden, whose
Victor machine rendered first class
music, greatly to the delight and
appreciation of the guests. After
the dance, ice-cream, cake, and
other refreshments appeared upon
the scene.
The guests were provided for
over night at Mrs. Riedel's and at
the Deverill Hotel, while all took
their Sunday breakfast a t Mrs.
Riedel's home and indulged in the
facinating sea bath on the beauti
ful Hanalei beach. Some of the
guests departed for their homes
after breakfast and the others re
mained until after luncheon.

The party stopped at the Knudsen
beach house for a delicious picnic
supper. Before the supper the
crowd availed themselves o f the

Just as the moon rose high in
the beautifully clear sky, the crowd
started out again, arriving at the
Sands about nine o'clock. Several
who had been then number of times
before said they had never heard
the Sands bark so loudly.
