One of our teachers who was
evidently not altogether satisfied
with last year's Teachers' Con
vctition program, has written the
secretary a letter on the coming
convention, in which things are
said that are well worth remember
ing by the members of the asso
ciation. The couimuniuation i s
given publicity in that we consider
it a tinielv written article, being
as follows:
E. B. Bridgewnter,
Secretary, Kauai Teachers' Association.
Dkak Sin:
' I have received the program and ac
companying instructions from the eom
niittc on arrangements for the third an
nual Teachers convention winch is to
be-'held in Kleele hi January, and look
forwurd to the meetini? with hiinov iinti-
cipation when our tencherstwill have an
other opportunity to exchange ideas on
a subject ol such vital importance to the
welfare of our public f-chools. .
I hope, however, that the program
will allow of an Arrangement which will
permit everyoim to see everything that is
tnffbe dona. If I can Jie excused lor critii
cism, I would like to say that the two'
former ronventioirs were not very satis
factory to the majority of teachers, for
the simple reason that regardless of the
aim of the committe, nothing of a very
definite nature was obtained. This can
be especially saiihof the last meeting, the
fact being due mainly to three reasons,
viz: Owing to the backwardness of the
teachers in expressing tleniH.'lvea; the
inclination of another fb talk too much,
and the division bf.the program, beingso
divided in the afternoon as to prevent
the teachers from seeing all that went
on. The Idea qfdiaving all teachers of the
like grades observe demonstrations in
their respective grades, is, a most com
mendable one, but it seems that a ma
jority of the teachers would njuch prefer
to have all demonstrating work, regard
less of grades, carried on in the presence
of the whole assembly. Another matter,
which may be properly termed a 'deli
cate one, yet, nevertheless of no little
importance, is that unless demonstrations
are conducted by teachers entirely fami
liar with the English language, much of
the value of such demonstrations is lost.
I do not mean to be.personal Jn my re
marks, but considerable; comment was
heard, following the last meeting on this
very lamentable fact, and all must
admit that no device whatever may be
its merits, can appeal t; an observer if
the demonstrator of such device is incap
able of using proper English in her work.
All teachers are requested to hand jn
their written work done on a certain
day, designated by the supervisor. Of
course this may be all to the good, but
I do not believe I am done in the lelief
that it would have been a far letter test
of the real work being accomplished in
our schools, had this request "been for
any certain day's work, we will say. dur
ing the lirst term. This, it strikes me,
would be much more productive of satis
factory results than the method (being
employed in the present program. It will
also bo remembenMl that at the last meet
iiiL. it was liku prving loose a sticking
plaster to get the teachers to say any
thing, and some ot most) wno uu ma
nage to sav something, were plainly stage
frightened. Let irs all go to the meeting
with something to say, fand say it. It is
much better to remain in our class room
than to attend the meeting and remain
silenfuntil all is over and then tell others
.what w e wanted to iay, and criticise
those who have had the courage 4o speak
their convictions. The meeting is intend
ed as an opportunity to benefit tho teach
er, and we should all unite in carrying
out a program which will work for the
greatest amount of good for the greatest
number of the stall. ,
Respectfully yours,
A TuACiiP.it.

1 The people of Knloa are excell-
ing their already well, established
reputation a s entertainers. The
latest rumor has it that a novel
. i
and'most interesting feature is to
t
be inaugurated by those in charge
of the Sunday School Christmas
program.1 Basing their idea on tjie
story of the adventurer who wedt
to seek his fortune in foreign lands,
and who returned in a ship loaded
with presents for the children of
his home village, the organizers of
this idea will have a sliip con
structed in place of a Christmas
tree, which, hung with many color
ed lights and loaded -down jviih
presents will form a
very unpie
and beautiful sight.

The concert given by the Koloa
C. E. at Koloa Hall last Saturday
night was another success and once
more the Koloaitcs proved them
selves to be artists of no mean abi
lity. The Hall was comfortably fill
ed and according to the estimate of
those in charge, one hundred and
ninetv dollars were realized.
Judge D. K. Kapahee sang in
true comic style the song, ':Ka
Wai o na Molokaina," assisted bv
the Kolox Glee Club, w h i c h
brought down the house. Some one
vas heard to remark that. "The
Judge has missed his true calling in
life."
The singing of Mrs Henry Blake
was the chief feature 6f the eve
ning. She sang the principal part
in "The Babes in tlleWoods. "A
raah Wanna" and "Ka Lei o Kai-
ulaui." In each of these pieces she
acquitted herself wort h y of a
trained singer and, as she repeated
the chorus in the last song, a hala
wreath entwined with maile was
thrown around her neck in appre
ciation of her talent.
The rendition of "Ka Pua o Ka
Hei, by a trio composed of Mrs
Rachel Moke, Mrs. v Esther Medei-
ros. and Mrs. Sam Kalua deserves
specia1 mention. When 'the curtain
was raised the singers were seen
amidst maile vines and ferns string
ing blossoms of "hei or papaia."
The scene, typical of some of our
mountain sceneries, was natural,
and beautiful. The siuging which
was soft and sweet brought out
sustained applause.
rn'"Araah Wanna," Miss E.
K. Kalawe as "Barney" the Irish
Wooer, played her part appreciably
well and Miss Jane Miller was
beautiful as "Araah Wanna, the
Queen of the Fairies. Thev both
sang well and justly merited the
applause they rec ived.
In the "Babes in the Woods"
the synpathy of the audience was
aroused as Misses Eleanor and Em
ma Blake, the orphans were seen
wandering in the woods until ex
hausted, they fell asleep and were
left there by their treacherous un
cle who was anxious to gain thnir
property, a prey for.the wild beasts
All the other parts were wolj
renderey and the concert was
brought to a fitting close with the
singing of "Hawaii Ponoi".'ttnd
the "Star Spangle t Banner" ;in
which the auuience heartily joined.
After the concert the floor 'wag
cleared for dancing. The music
was furnished by Fiank Wai pa's
orchestra from Waimea which made
this part of the evening's program
very enjoyable. J.t is hard to find
an equal of this club on the ismnd.
Mrs. Tanies K. Kula, President
of the Koloa C. E. Society, perso
nally conducted the evening's en
tertainment and to her energy may
be attributed the expeditions pian-'
ner in which the program was
carried out which avoided unne
ccssarv delay. On behalf of the
Koloa Society she wishes to thank
the general public for its generous
support,

The first game of the "Kauai
Soccer League", which was played
on the Lihue field last Sunday be
tween Makaweli and the All-American
teams resulted in a win for the
visitors, who scored the only goal
made in the.- game, early in the
second half.
The teams played a ' good clean
game in first rate spoitsman like
manner.
During the first-'half the ball"
was kept moving between the goals
by fast attacks from the forwards
of both teams, :hough no score re
sulted. .
Murd'ock played a splendid
game for the visitors while for
ward; tliough later having to take
a position further back on account'
of. a sligh injury.
Hans' Fassoth who starred with
high balls' received ahard knock
out in the second half which
necessitated his dropping out for a
while.
Dunn played a' splendid game in
the American go'al where the at
tack was pesistent and strong
during the greater part- o f the
second half. -
Efficient defense work, was very
marked from the American backs
though the offensive was some
what lacking ,
Mr', Donald s first class work as
referee was Jiiglily 'appreciated by '
all; the fairness of his every deci
sion being most evident.
Lihue Band In, Funds
The Lihue Band is now, through
a very generous contribution by
Fhe Lihue Plantation and the strong
support given bv the public in ge
neral firmly established on its feet.
The local public have shown
their liking and appreciation of the
boys eincient ana zealous services
in a very gratifying manner.
Mr. Rutsch who so ably-piloted
the, organization during the last
five yeajs'and now has the pleasure
of seeing it well established finan
cially, feels thatjie can' step out of
the office of President and Treasurer
and leave the management ofaffairs
to the boys' popular leader Mr. Joe
Sotiza.
In stepping o u t Mr, Rutsch
wishes to express, his hearty thanks
to the 'community for their gene
rous support and hearty coopera
tion which he has never had occa
sion to 'find lacking, as alsoj that
of'the Band Boys themselves, t
This same helpful spirit will in
future beaccouled to Director Sou
za and the continued success of the
local baud is assured.
Though severing his connections
with the baud Mr. Rutsch contin
uesto remain its staunch supporter
and should be; congratulated upon
having guided it to a so firmly esta
blished basis.
It is rumored that some broadly
smiling faces will b e visible
Christmas Eve when the contribu
tions are distributed among the
boys.
