SCHOOLS ON HAWAII.
Olaa District Needs Four New School
Houses.

Inspector General of Schools Town
send returned from Hawaii on the
Mauna Loa Tuesday. He reports the
schools all crowded and in some dis
tricts altogether insufficient school ac-
commodations. In Olaa he estimates
that there are at least 100 children in
that district now who are not in school
because there are no school accommo-
dations for them. Four new school
houses, three three room buildings and
one four room building he thinks Will
be absolutely necessary in that dis
trict. For Hilo he has about come TO
the conclusion that the present six room
building should be replaced by a
twelve room building. Such a building
can be put on the present grounds but
there is hardly room for a six room adj
dition.
In Kona the movement of population
is all mauka following the coffee indus
try and the mauka schools are all
crowded while the makai schools are
not.
