AUULA people have won their
/ fight against Christian Andrews,
and the veteran school teacher
has been transferred from that district
to Napoopoo. This action was taken
by the. Board of Education yesterday,
after hearing a report from Inspector
Gibson who, with Miss Rose Dawson,
went over to Hauula two weeks ago
to look into the case.
Andrews differences with the people
of his district have been Of long stand
ing. Almost ever since he took charge
of the school there have been bicker-
ings between him and the people of the
district, and from time to time echoes
of these have come to the ears OF the
Board of Education. 1t appears that
Andrews was in the habit of compell-
ing his school children to work IN the
garden for him; that he had them clear
tract of ground and then plant it
in vegetables for his use. The children
We're not put to work on the grounds
about the school, but upon land which
Andrews expects to homestead, and he
used the labor of the pupils to clear
this and plant it. In addition to this
the people of the district charged that
the children, and likewise that he pro-
cured calendars gratis in Honolulu and
sold them to the children for five cents
leach.
Andrews, on the other hand, charged
the people of the district with run
ming che ia bank, and said that the
children were made to sell the tickets.
He said that the cause of all his trou-
BILE with the people arose out of his
efforts to stop the practice.
When Mr. Gibson and Miss Dawson
visited the district they got all the
people of the district together in the
schoolhouse' and had all the whole
matter aired for them. Then Mr.. Glib
son presented a report to the Board
of Education on the matter. In this
he recommended that Andrews be
transferred to some other district.
Some of the members of the Board of
Education thought it best to discharge
him altogether, but it was decided to
send him to Napoopoo.
Owing to the constant complaints
that schoolboys played truant from
school on steamer days in order to
sell the San Francisco papers it was
decided to issue permits to such boys
as desired to sell papers and could
show good cause for so doing.
