In the academy is provided for Hawaii children the cultural legacy of the Pacific island people, the occidental and the oriental. Peggy Kai believes that the chil dren of the islands have an invaluable aid and inspiration in the academy of arts for international understanding. Mrs.

Peggy Hockley Kai, director of education at the Honolulu Academy of Arts, instigates a greater understanding and respect between Hawaii's many races. Her department strives for the education of the children to their own cultural legacy and that of their neighbors. Wall photo. By KATHARINE W. LAWDER Peggy Hockley Kai has lived in Hawaii most of her life.

Now she is helping to show Hawaii's children, representing many races, the realization of their rich inheritance. Peggy Kai's father, Ernest Hockley, was a mining engineer in Mexico when she was born. He brought his family to Hawaii when a revolution made Mexico a precarious place to live and became a surveyor for the forest reserves of Hawaii. ,0 tt Peggy Kai soon gained the understanding and respect for various races and cultures, valuable heritage of children raised in the Hawaiian islands. Now, Kai, wife of Ernest Kai, a Honolulu lawyer, and mother of an eight year old daughter, is director of education at the academy of arts.

Valuable to this work is her education Punahou, the University of Hawaii, where she received her master's degree in museum education, and Wheaton college in Massachusetts. She also did graduate work in anthropology at Yale. a a a When we were fellow students at Punahou, I remember Peggy as vivacious, and always active in student affairs. Today Peggy Kai is still vivacious and energetic, juggling, the three fold career of wife, mother and educator. "We have a purpose in the education department," Peggy a i explained.

She said that the academy arranges exhibits and lectures, presents creative art classes and maintains a lending collection of objects and pictures. "You see, art museums enrich a child's background," Peggy Kai added. "They make active a child's creative expression and provide an emotional outlet." tt tt In other words, to quote a few lines from the introduction to the academy's educational bulletin, the education department plans "that our children of many nationalities and races, born far from the centers of art, may receive an intimation of their own cultural legacy and wake to the ideals embodied in the arts of their neighbors, that they may grasp that Helen Arthur Is Betrothed To Lt.

Bentley Hickam Field By MARGARET LONG HICKAM FIELD, Feb. 20 A fortnight of goodbyes culminated Friday evening. February 13. when the officers stationed at Hickam air force base gave an aloha party at the "Hickam Officers' club for Col. T.

Chapman greeted each of the 300 or more officers and their wives with a personal word of farewell.
