AANAlE| SCHOOL STORY.
But SUPERINTENDENT
KNOWS NOTHING OF 1T
REPORTED plsoRAcEFuL SCENE
BETWEEN AGENT DEVERiLl
AND TEACHER DAviS-No
INVESTIGATION ASKED.

A strange story blew in from the
Garden Isle with recent boat. There
was one who talked much of what he
was pleased to term disgraceful scene
alleged to have occurred in the sup
posedly peaceful little school house OF
pretty Hanalei. Hanalei by the sea on
beautiful Kauai. The fourteenth day
catastrophe, when, so says the trav-
eler, a school agent, an officer Of the
Board OF Education. Mr.. Deverill. and
the school teacher. Mr.. Davis. enacted
scene In which there was less of hum
or than tragedy. the affair almost ter
minating in a fight and the flight OF
over one hundred little men and maid
ems present not to witness a gloveless
hand to hand contest but to shoot
ideas in the proper manner. Waxing
eloquent in his narrative, the indig-
nant one volunteered the Information
lei. native and otherwise, kamaainas
and malihinis, we're as indignant as
himself, II not more so. over the mat
ter, siding with the teacher. He de-
clared that the incident had been re-
ported to the Board OF Education with
the request that an investigation be
made and added that this was not the
first complaint. The journeyer from
Kauai then grew eloquent on county
government.
Superintendent OF the Department of
Public Instruction Alatau 7. Atkinson
was naturally grieved on hearing the
story, saying he had recently received
a letter from Mr.. Davis, the Hanalei
school teacher, to the effect that some
more or less unimportant disagree
ment had occurred between himself
and Mr.. Deyerill, the school agent
However. Superintendent Atkinson had
heard nothing OF any indignant popu
lace, frightened school children or
threatened blows. He said that no
investigation had been requested and
no summary action was being consid-
cred. Mr.. Atkinson hoped and be-
lieyed the story was greatly exagger-
ated. He said he had only heard one
side Of the affair and Teacher Davis
letter was not in the nature OF n re-
quest for an investigation.
