Summary

Frank Coffee Forty Years On The Pacific — Leper Settlement of Molokai (1920)

Goodhue, the Settlement physician, determined that Brother Dutton ought to see something modern, and drove his car directly into the Baldwin Home compound. Before Brother Dutton knew it, his eyes had beheld the modern juggernaut.
The inmates have their little dabble in politics about every two years. With good motion pictures and libraries, music and entertainments, horse-racing, baseball leagues, and other forms of amusements, the inmates of Kalawao and Kalaupapa have a reasonably good time.

On these and other holidays the inmates have athletic displays. Their strong men build "human pyramids," and there are foot-races and other forms of holiday pleasures.
The settlement brass band is one of the features of life there, while glee clubs and other amusement societies are all composed of enthusiastic people. About twice a week in the evening everybody goes to the moving-picture theater. Reels are supplied regularly from Honolulu, and in this way the inmates learn much of the outside world.
