TOR GARDEN ISLAND, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1022
School Notes
WHAT THEY ARE DOING
AT OUR SCHOOLS
In company with F. S. Pugh, su
pervisor ol vocational Instruction on
Kauai,, the editor of the Garden
Island had the pleasure ol visiting
a number of our public schools,
last Wednesday.
Huleia School.
Our first stop after leuving Lilue
was at Huleia school. 1 had boon
iiniiciniitins: this visit to Iluleia with
ti j;it;it l''ul of pieasure because I
lvii..w thtTo w:is a rare treat i'.i

v,.iii'.l tin' work room and saw
luiiiii rous examples of tine basket
r, h:ind pawed and painted book
racks and oilier articles that shott
ed a hinh degree of skill in their
making. We were then taken out to
the flower garden, which is no
doubt one of the finest on the island-especially
the geranium bed.
These, geraniums surpass in color of
flower and greenness of leaf anything
1 have ever seen. When 1 remark
ed to this effect to Mrs. Ahana,
she laughed and said the reason
for that was, she fed the geraniums
castor oil. That is, Bhe put a ta
blespoonful about the roots of each
plant every thirty days or so. I
know that castor oil was good for
boys and girls sometimes, but that
is the first time 1 had heard that
it was good for flowers.
The Treat.
After we had said "How do you
do?" to each grade and had seen
all there was to show, Mrs. Ahana
asked us if we would care to have
(he children sing for us. As that
was the treat I referred to above,
you may be sure we earnestly as
sured her that we would.
For the next ten or flteen minutes
we were privileged to listen to
group singing that surpassed In
harmony and melody any school
singing I had ever heard before.
They favored us with two songs
composed by Mrs. Ahana the
words being set to popular airs,
These songs told us about Huleia
and how much they loved their
charming little community. And you
could tell by the enthusiasm with
which they sang that they meant
every word of it.
I am going to Huleia again some
day and ask them to sing for me
Koloa School..
Our next stop was at Koloa school
where we were received by the
principal. Airs. Sisscui, who very
kindly consented to Vhow us what
her boys and girls were doing in
the line of manual training and sew-
lug.
We were first conducted to the
sewing room, which is under the
very able direction of Mrs. Gluud
Here we found a room full of young
girls busily engaged in the business
of learning how to make dresses
and do fancy needlework. Some were
ciik'aned at the tables cutting out
Karinent.;, some were at the sew
iiif in u hines. while others were
ii:;.l:ing bolumljole:;, sewing on button:-.

iikii.immI ill tin! bus'uiii.ss of building
playground apparatus. Mr. I.ovell
merely supervises the work of this
school. The boys do the actual work
:i tul are makin a mighty good job
of it.
The boys of this school have
almost completed the- construction
of a tin foot boat into which they
intend In install an engine. The
work looks like it had been done
by professional boat builders.
Koloa school is badly In need
of more ground. They have grown
so rapidly In the past few years
that the additions of the needed
school rooms has steadily encraoch
ed upon the playground until there
is insufficient space for the children
to play.
(To be continued next week)
KAPAA SCHOOL
The lumber and other material
for the new shop is all here, but
the carpenters are still nUssing. We
hope they will come soon.
W. V. Hardy, superintendent of
the East Kauai Water Co., lectured
to the pupils on Thursday on the
subject of islund geography and wa
ter supply. He told of some very
interesting experiences he had in
connection with his work for many
years while in charge of the water
survey of Kauai
A serious automobile accident took
placo Friday morning during the
morr.ing recess, which proved serious
for both the car and the driver. It
was truly u miracle tiiat no children
coining from our park to the
school grounds wem struck by this
flying machine. An attempt will be
mad-j to have county fathers pass
a law restricting the speed of auto
mobiles passing schools, such as
they have in all progressive coun
ties. We are completing a relief may of
Kauai, showing the prominent plac
es and political districts. The scale
is ouo inch to a mile.
Jokes from Kapaa School
A wild iocking individual rushed
into the dentist's office and con
fronted him with: "You give
a fellow gas here? Honest, now, tell
inc."
"Yes sir," said the dentist.
"l-nn a fellow feel anything at nil
when be takes it?"
- No. Wei! 111 tnko it."
"All rii.ht, sir, which tooth?"
"Tuc'Vi be hanged! I want you
i l.'.ke oil' a porous ;iku ter."
".Mm wants two pounds of butter
ael'y like what ,m sent ua lust
week. If it isn't pxaetly liko that
she won't take it."
i'he grocer turned to his custo
met.!, ami remarked blanily, "Some
people don't like particular custo
mers, but I do. It's my delight to
give them just what they want. I
v ill attend to you in a moment my
bov."
"All right," said the boy, "but be
sure and get the same kind. A lot
of dad's relatives are visiting our
house and ma doesn't want them
to come again."

SUNDAY EVENING
SERVICES STARTED
WANTS SETTLERS ON
MOLOKAI , LANDS TO
GET EARLY INCOME
Rev. Norman C. Schenck of Ho
nolulu gave the Lihue Union church's
Sunday evening missionary program
a mighty good send off last Sun
day evening. Mr. Schenck spoko on
India. He illustrated his lecture with
a number of slides showing scenes
in all parts of India. Religious fan
atics who have dedicated their liv
es to some heathen god and in rc
cognition of the fact have wired
heavy stones into their flesh, lit
tle five year old girls who were
already bethrothed to be married
and similar scenes brought out
sharply the distinction between old
heathen custums and the good being
done by Christian missionaries in
that dark land.
Next Sunday evening at 7:30 Rev.
J. M. Lydgate is to give an illus
trated lecture on Japan. Everyone
in the community is cordially in
vited to come and hear Mr. Lydgate
speak.
HOWARD W. LAWS
GETS HONOLULU
ROOFING CONTRACT
Howard W. Laws, well known on
Kauai, where he has spent a part
of the past few years repairing and
constructing roofs, has been award
ed the contract by the harbor board
to repair and paint the roof on
I'ler 1G in Honolulu. Laws agreed
to put the roof in first class con
dition and to keep it in good or
der for three years.
Mr. Laws an.) his business part
ner huvo a secret process for cover-
in;,- roofs that thuy claim is better
than anything else on the market.
They have taken many contracts
in the last few mouths, giving the
same guarantee as that furnished
the harbor board.
Thnt the Hawaiian Homes Com
mission should preparo the avail
able lands of Molokai in such a
way that the initial settlers under
the rehabilitation project would de
rive some income from the soil at
the earliest possible date, was the
suggestion advanced by Rudolph
M. Duncan at a meeting of the
commission in the office of Gov-1
ernor Wallace R. Farrington, chair
man, last Tuesday, according to the
Star-Bulletin.
His suggestion wub made during
extended discussion with regard to
preparations for placing the first
settlers on the lower lands of Ka-
lamaula. He expressed the opin
ion that the commission should ar
range for the plowing of at least
an acre of land in each tract and
plant it to seed, so that crops
would be well under way by the
time the settler took possession.
Rev. Abaiko Akana was of the
opinion, however, that this work
should be done by the settler hlm
self, under tho direction of L.
Thornton Lyman, the commission's
agricultural expert, in order that
he might gain actual experience.
The contract for the furnishing
of 7000 feet of 2-inch and 26,000 feet
of 1-inch pipe was divided equully
between Catton, Nelll & Co. and the
Honolulu Iron Works, these con
cerns having submittel identical
bids. The bid on the 2-inch pipe
was $1312.50 and on the 1-inch pipe
$2251.00 to be furnished in five
days. ,
The contract for furnishing a
tractor was awarded to the Schu
man Carriage Co., the only bidder.
Its figures being $1875.
