list of text books for the common schools
at the regular meeting held Saturday
morning. The list is one reported by the
the text book committee and in turn
adopted by the board.
The list of books for the higher grades
and the high school is still in a state
of preparation, but it is said that the re-
port to be made means an entire break
ing away from the book trust whose
books have been in use by government
schools for years. These books are to
be provided under contract by the gov
eminent and none of the local book deal
ers have laid in a supply.
The list so far adopted includes the fol-
following:
Bass Beginners Reader
Baldwin's Readers.
Supplementary Reading = Hawaiian
Young People, Home and School
Classics.
Princes Arithmetic.
Language-The Mother Tongue. Rice's
Rational Spelling.
Redways Geography.
Eggleston's History.
Does Young Citizen.
The names of the publishers of these
books were not given in the report, and
were not known by Superintendent At
kinson.
Permission was given to Superintendent
Atkinson to make formal application to
the government for land in Waialae, to
be used for an industrial school for boys.
All the money for the building has not
been appropriated, but the board hopes
to begin work as soon as possible, and
take chances on securing the balance as
needed 1t was decided to appoint three
substitute teachers who are to report
every morning at the secretarys office,
for which they will receive a dollar per
day; and in case their services are re-
| quired they are to get three dollars for
each day they teach. At present there
is great difficulty in securing substitutes
| from the normal and the new plan is ex-
pected to obviate the difficulty.
