OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES THE POLICE JUDGES KICK.
HAUULA SCHOOL TEACHER AND
HIS TROUBLES.
Claimed That People of the District
Dislike Him for Informing on Their
Che Fa Games.

The second attack of the educational
insurgents upon the school works of
Hauula has been repulsed and Chris
tian Andrews, the teacher is still in
possession of the fort. Sixty of his for
mer pupils may give him and his insti-
tuition the overlook as they journey to
the private school of Rev. Nuuhiwa.
The parents of these ex-pupils can also
give Andrews the Ratchet face when
they fail to speak as they pass by but
the pedagogue feels strong in his posi-
tion and glories in their opposition.
Much as they may dislike him and hard
as they have sought to GUST him from
his job, their hardest knocks have fallen
from him as water from ducks back
He has been indicated and sustained
by the School Board and is now biding
his time for his day of reckoning is
nigh.
When Andrews first took charge of
the Hauula school he was very popular.
In fact he found it difficult to dodge the
open arms which greeted him on all
Sides But he proved a disappointment
to the 400 of his district. Instead of be-
ing good fellow and standing in with
| the gang he showed a disposition to
interfere with their sports and games.
He could understand a healthy compe-
tition where men We'd with each other
digging up potatoes or fertilizing the
ldiu bul lHe excitement OF enc IA naQ
no attractions for him. In fact it had
an exactly opposite effect and he
thought it his duty to have the sport
stopped. The school children IL was
claimed by Andrews were becoming de-
moralized and instead Of filling their
minds with lessons they cramm their
pockets full of che ia tickets.
The police were given notice of the
fact that a game was IN progress nd
IDpnntV Sheriff n do
raid capturing about fifty people. At
ter this raid, which many people con-
sidered greater injustice than taxa
ton without representa-. IN, Andrews
was persona non grato. He became the
Grover Cleveland of tn district. stool
pigeon cried the multitude; Back
number" yelled those who escaped O. n
viction: "Neverwaser" howled the I'M
lucky ones who were fined. But Ill
this did not bother Andrews he went
abroad in the land seeking whom he
might teach. But the lowering clouds
broke into a storm which even An
drews' sturdy frome could scarcely
withstand. The grown people began to
try and cause his removal frorn the
district claiming that their chill lren ha
been compelled by the teacher to work
for him instead of receiving instruction
An investigation by School inspector
Townsend resulted in Andrews being
sustained by the Board.
1t was found that the work the chill
dren did was not for Andrews 49, in the
course of his instruction of them in
practical agriculture, of which the
School Board approved, and that in ad-
dition to the instruction they received
therefrOm, some financial profit accrued
to thetpupils themselves.
Subsequently the matter was brought
up and it was developed that sixty of
Andrews former pupils had deserted
him and hied themselves unto private
school conducted at Rev. Nuuhiwa's
house by Mrs. Nuuhiwa. Andrews could
bask content in the districts friendship
he could even sleep heartily in the face
of opposition but Indifference was too
sharp blow and he had to strike back
He did so by causing the arrest of the
instructors and parents of the sixty
pupils for sending the children to pri-
vate school without having secured a
release from him, a release which he
added he would never give. In a COM
munication from him which was read
at the meeting of the Board of Educa-
ton Tuesday Andrews said:
Il have every reason to believe that
Judge w. L Rathburn is in sympathy
with the gang He received me very
colby when 7 came before him to swear
out the warrants. The case was called
up in court today september 12). Be
fore the case was called up every one
of the defendants was present
but / knew hat the case would be post
poned for two weeks. These
two weeks Iostponement go in payment
for their two unheeded petitions And
Nuuhiwa further says that that is not
all, for he never will give in, he can
now teach prayers and hymns Ga thing
l never would do for him). On his re-
quest to the court for two weeks eX-
tension being granted, he got up in
court ana People Listen to Rev. Solo
mon.' He therehpon started a hymn
in open court. I know for a certainly
that these people will ultimately not
be fined the judge will let them down
easy simply give them a warning not
to do it again."
Judging from Andrews letter the
visit Of Townsend did not prove to be
oil upon the troubled waters at Hauula
The parents seem to have leagued
themselves against the teacher and in
another petition which was presented
at the meeting of the Board of Educa-
ton Tuesday permission was asked
to send their pupils to a private school
at Halcohl. Koolauloa. The Board
carefully discussed the matter in all it's
phases and decided 70 sustain its reD-
resentltive so the parents in that dis
trict viii have to send their children
to Andrews until a teacher for the priv
ate Institution qualities.
