THE GARDEN ISLAND, TUESDAY, JUNE 18, 1918
Report of Secretary
Walworth ofY.HLC A.
Mr. Chairman and Board of Directors.
The work on Kauai la a new field
of work to me, as compared to the
experience which I have had on the
mainland In several of the City and
Railroad branches of the Young
Mens' Christian Association. Among
the majority of those with whom I
have to work here, the home life,
Ideals, everyday wants, educational
standards, religious and physical
education are entirely different from
that which I have been accustmed to
response to moral, religious and educat
ional development lies dormant among
the oriental races ready to be ener
gized when the proper stimuli are
applied.
When we look back over the cen
turies that were required to develop
the high type of civilization of the
English speaking peoples and then
compare the advancement of our Im
ported laborers with It, we find many

improvements over their former
state that must be credited to them
in changing their ways of living. They
are still far from seeing and doing as
we think they should, still they havo
made some progress and ought not to
be criticised too harshly for some of
the mistakes they have made in tak
ing up many of the evils of our civil
ization. These people follow the ex
ample set before them more han we
realize. The trouble has been that
the evil element has been allowed to
do nearly all the example setting and
these newcomers readily accept It be
cause they know of no other. The
plantations see this and by various
methods have tried to remedy matters.
They have been very generous In help
ing the Sunday Schools and Churches
in the laborers camps. They have In
stituted police for the camps. They
have encouraged social life, and 'soc
ial service work of various kinds.
The Y. M. C. A. saw a great oppor
tunity In this field and has been giv
en a trial. It is the one organization
that can waork with all classes of peo
ple having a great diversity of relig
ious beliefs, and not meet serious op
position. It is our task to study the
problem on Kauai, and work out a
solution clearly and definately. This
can be done by substitution more eas
ily than by any other method. We
must make athletics more interesting
than the cock fight or other gambling
games. We must make the night
school, club meetings, and other social
activities more Interesting than exist
ing evils. And then eventially we will
win the fight for clean citizenship,
Several of the Kauai plantations are
using the surest methods of correcting
the home life of their laborers. They
realize that the home Instinct beats in
every breast and have provided com
fortable homes with good sanitation
and surrounded by a garden plot. The
laborer feels that as long as he is in
the employ of the plantation this cozy
cottage in which he lives, surrounded
by flowers and a vegetable garden is
his home, and that preserving its
beauty and sanitary condition depends
upon his personal work. How differ
ent this is from the camp where sev
eral families are assigned to one large
house which is devided into compart
ments for each family, with no garden,
flowers or home life to themselves.
The Young Mens' Christian Assoc-
iation has a real mission among these
people. One of the most successful
methods used in gaining their friend
ship and co-operation in furthering the
work promoted among them, is that of
visiting each camp worked in regular
ly, associating with the men and mak
ing few select friends upon whom we
can rely for help in carrying on the
work in that camp. A club is organiz
ed and made as near self governing
as possible; the Y. M. C. A. secretary
acting as an advisor, and taking the
lead in all the work of the club and
its activities.
This brings to mind two methods of
Y. M. C. A. work:
The Association has for its emblem
the triangle representing spiritual,
mental and physical development. In
the early-years of the YMCA's career,
it was thought that a secretary must
be able to do the work of ten men, or
he should not be permitted to re
main on its. payroll. Some person sym
bolized this thought with a drawing
of a secretary carrying a huge tri
angle on his shoulders like the an
cient Atlas. The triangle had ten
diverging lines each outlining one
man's work. Experience soon tau
ght them that they were wrong, for
when this type of secretary was call
ed to another field of service, he lefl
luhlnd htm a group of earnest people
eager for their own betterment, but
unable to lead themselves or to dc
any constructive work. They had not
developed leadership,, depending up
on anothers personality with the re
suit that the work suffered serious
decline while a new man was adapt
ing himself to the work.
The new methods used now, may
best be represented by the above
plan reversed, with the secretary sit
ting on top of the triangle directing
the work of ten men while keeping
himself well employed; developing as
many strong leaders as he can, each
with his own personality. The new
plan makes possible a larger prog
ram which will not collapse when the
secretary leaves and some new man
takes his place.
This is the plan that we are en
deavoring to use on Kauai. We have
definately organized clubs which are
visited twice each week, going one
afternoon for athletics and another
evening for the club meeting. We
have a regular schedule so that each
club knows that we are coming and
will be expecting us. We also hap
pen around at Irregular times to see
if they are playing games when not
expecting us. At present the Lihue
work embraces eight clubs, with an
other to be added soon. This requir
es that two clubs and one set of ath
letics be supervised n one day durin
part of the week.
Sometime ago a group of Fiplpino
boys at the Lawal Pineapple Cannery
without the knowledge of Mr. Loom
is or myself, organized a thriving Y
M. C. A. club and began working out
some clever gymnastic performances
with nothing but a few photos of such
work for an instructor. Before long
ho fame of this club reached "sec
retarial" ears and this group was in
corporated Into the regular schedul-
'Slnce that time they have been
used on several occasions and have
donated all of the proceeds of their
work to the Red Cross society.
The boys of Lihue plantation Camp
witnessed one of these enter
tainments, and set to work to out
rival their Lawai friends. The camp
group have and still are giving
interesting entertaining performman-
cea in and near Lihue.
The night schools of the various
camps In and near Lihue have an en
rollment slightly less than one hund
red. This work may be classed as
of greater importance than all the
above by some people, and as an en
couraging sign. The boys are eager
for school work and frequently the
women attend the school regardless
of the fact that the work is intended
for men. There are many more such
happenings as the above which those
supporting this work should know,
but time and space do not permit.
