Waits For Them
Program Is So Comprehensive
That It May Be Impossible
To Complete All Details By
This Afternoon
Higher speed will have to be put on
in the convention of the Hawaii Educa
tion Association today if the program
is to be finished this afternoon as was
planned. The program is so long and
comprehensive and so much agenda
has been laid out for the convention
that the sessions may have to bo con
tinued this evening or tomorrow
morning was the belief expressed last
night by some of thogo in attendance.
There has been no lagging in the pro
gress, it is merely that there is so
much to be done and finishing by late
tills afternoon will depend on how
much discussion there is today over
the l (.'solutions thai will be present
ed. Soveral changes were made in yes-
lerday's program. Dr. Draley was not
in atendanco and his address was
omitted, Vaughan MacCaughey's ad
dress went over until today and Mrs.
Mowat's paper on English pronuncia
Hon was advanced from today to yes
terday afternoon.
Dr. Emerson Interests
An outstanding feature of yestei-1
day's program was the talk on child
malnutrition given by Dr. W. R. P.
Emerson and lie supplemented it by
a lecture last night at the reception
at the Grand Hotel, illustrating his ,
talk with lantern slides. He opened
up phases or child health in the
schools that were new to large nuni-'
bers of his hearers. With the ex-1
ceptlon of Mrs. Mowat's paper the I
afternoon was given over largely to
committee discussions. j
Crowd At Reception
At the reception tendered by the
piincipal's association in the Grand
Hotel last evening there was a large
attendance to a great extent from the
teacing forces of Maul but with
numbers of citizens Interested in edu
cational work also there. Early in
the evening a group gathered on ihe
lanal and sang Hawaiian son,? for a
time. Then came the reception in the
lobby nnd there were a number of
Hawaiian songs were rendered. The
musical program was Interrupted for
Dr. Emerson's illustrated lecture
which was attended by about 100
. Dr. Emerson showed various points
that enter into mal-nutrition not only
from lack ol' proper food but from
laio hours, poor hygiene at home, over
work and over exercise. It was not
ho much lack of food as improper diet
that caused mal-nutrition. Anxiety
complexes entered and so also did
physical defects, ills charts showed
the improvement made in individual
instances and in whole classes. He
also clearly showed how closely allied
are mal-nutrition and tuberculosis.
Following Dr. Emerson's lecture
Mrs. Louise Jones rendered two ocal
numbers and Fred Hutler, the singing
evangelist, sang delightfully.

Temporary Writ
Qf Injunction
Given Japanese
Enforcement Of Regulations
For Alien Language Schools
Held Up Pending Final De
cision Of Court
(Associated 1'ress)
HONOLULU, Dec. 28 Judge J. J.
Banks today granted a writ of tem
porary injunction restraining the at
torney general and the department of
public instruction from enforcing the
resolutions of the board regulating the
conduct of and curtailing the activities
of alien language schools which were
to have become effective on January
1.
The writ of injunction is granted
on the application of the attorneys for
the Paiama Japanese school who con
tended that the proposed regulation
is unconstitutional, a violation of the
American treaty with Japan of 1894,
confiscatory, unreasonable, oppressive
and unauthorized by legislation.
Judge Banks did not set the time
for the hearing of arguments on the
motion to make the injunction perma
nent. Educators Disappointed
The foregoing Associated Press dis
patch was Hied in Honolulu at 4:40
yesterday afternoon and received by
Maul News a little after 5 o'clock. A
briefer dispatch which merely stated
that the injunction had been granted,
not specifying the grounds for the ap
plication, was received by D. C. Lind
say, Maui member of the department
of public instruction.
Last night visiting educators to the
convention here were outspoken in
their regret of the action taken by the
Japanese.
Superintendent Vaughan MacCaug- -hey
said he had hoped that the Jap
aneso would have submitted to the
proposed regulations and it was a
source for real regret that they had
pursued the course mentioned in the
dispatches as he had hoped amicable
arrangements could have been made.
Prof. Leebrick considered the action
taken ill advised especially after all
the work that l'rad been done by the
commission of Japanese and Ameri
cans that had preceded the passage of
the resolution by the department of
public Instruction.
Commission Work Attacked
The regulation which the Japanese
attack, grew out of tho compromise
legislation passed by the last legisla
ture. More drastic legislation was
pending and the compromise was
effected on the understanding that a
commission of Japanese and Ameri
cans should agree upon a policy. The
commission was appointed, the Jap
anese members by the Japanese con
sul general, and worked on the sub
ject of regulations and of text book
revisions. An agreement was reached
but the Japanese community, most
especially that of Honolulu, refused
to abide by the action of its commis
sioners. On Maui tho Japanese ac
cepted tho regulation after prolong
ed discussion.
