was due Dana in the matter of salary.

Townsend stated it as his opinion that
a great deal of work had been taken
in the Kamehameha School that could
not show in the examination, but
which would show in the school room.

Townsend's opinion that larger sal
airy than ordinary should be paid. 1t
was so voted by the Commissioners.
President Cooper was not favorable
to raising the certificate on account of
the work taken, and so expressed him
self. If the work in Kamehameha was
. to be taken as a years experience, he

understanding that the certificate be
named second class with one years ex-
perience.
