up to them they would rather pay
substitute.
"It seemed as IL they wanted to get
all they could out of the department"
was one of the comments made. In
proof of this attitude it was mentioned
that although a six-room teachers cot
tage was provided at Puunene, the
couple had expressed a desire that the
assistant teachers should not board
with them, as Mrs. Rosecrans being a
teacher herself could not keep boarders.
1t was agreed that the pay of Miss
I Susie Kiakona, appointed as assistant
at HAIKU be deducted from the salary
| of Mrs 'Rosecrans, who had declined
the work while in the pay of the Board.
Mrs Rosecrans should not appear in
the matter at all.
1.-THE salaries should stop from the
day they refused to work for the
Board" Mr.. Wight remarked.
''That Is just the reason we had in
making the recommendation" Mr.. Far
rington said.
2 Certain salaries in allegiance as to
/ amount were fixed by votes.
: The Superintendent's action was APP
proved in his writing to Chas. H. Swain
for further particulars of his fifteen
years service on application for a life
certificate. 80,
A suggestion of the Superintendent
to remedy a difficulty about life certifi-
Gates was approved. 1t was to notify
applicants that anyone can have a life
certificate who holds a Normal School
!, diploma of date prior to 1902 regardless
OF markings thereon, while one not hav-
ing such diploma should be required
to take a grammar school grade exami-
nation and pass with over So
Mr.. Rabbit reported on a visit paid
to Kalihiwaena with Mr.. Harrington,
to look into the matter of an exchange
of land for school purposes. They were
given to understand that Mrs. Nakuina
had not obtained a grant Of the land
wanted. Therefore they had applied to
the Superintendent of Public Works
for transfer of land to Land Com
missioner Pratt for their purposes.
That day the Governor had told him,
however, that Mrs. Nakuina probably
did own the land. Therefore he asked
for more time, which was granted.
Regarding nearly every piece of land
on which we wish to build under the
Loan Act" the Superintendent COM
planned, there is some obstacle" DR..
Bond was down from Kohala on a case
of that kind. In Pauoa valley there
seemed to be a lack of land for the
building intended. Tree different kona
lots are in a terrible snarl," the Super
intendent concluded
Superintendent of Public Works Hol-
loway and Principal Richmond had in
formed him that a building for the
High School at Hilo could not be erect
ed according to the plans for the $1S,-
900 available. They would therefore
have to try to adapt the plans to the
money AS a matter of fact there
would not be much more than $4,000
for the structure itself. The question
was whether to ask them to cut the
plans, or to allow them something out
of the general fund.
IT should be in favor of putting up a
good building" Mr.. Wight observed.
Mr.. Babbitt said a building accord
ing to the plans would cost 1923, 900 all
told.
Mr.. Harrington thought the loan APP
preparation was $4,000 and asked where
all the difference existed.
Mr.. Babbitt said it would cost $500
to move the old building off, and the
filling in of a gulch would be $500 or
5000 more. That was approximately
$4,000 and then there was the architect
to pay.
1t was agreed to make an additional
appropriation If possible out of the
general fund.
A letter was read from c. H. Dickey,
interceding for the release of boy
named Gil Cabral from the Boys In
dustrial School. His father was a
cripple and needed the boys work.
Mr.. Babbitt read copy of reply he
had sent to Mr.. Dickey, after having
had conversation with Superintend-
ent Gibson about the case. 1t showed
that the boy was only about twelve
years old and had just begun to read
and write. He did not think the boy
would be of much use to his father
AS he was within the compulsory
school age, he would be compelled to
go to school anyway. The authorities
had a responsibility in the matter and
the Superintendent could not assent to
the boys release.
His action was approved
w. A Mckay. school agent at Wal
luku, was authorized to sell an old
building at Makena to an old native
for $40.
Mrs. Dexter, matron of the Girls In
dustrial School, wanted to know how
the profits from the industrial work OF
the girls should be divided. Mr.. Far
rington had told her about the system
in vogue at the Boys School. They
had a certain amount of work to dc
and what they did over that they were
paid for -'ad
s. Mrs. Wilcox said the last Legislature
passed a law giving the industrial
School girls so per cent. of the pro-
ceeds of their lace-making. Mr.. Far
rington later turned up the law In
question, showing the rate stated for
the Girls Industrial School and 10 per
cent. for lace-workers in the common
schools.
why shouldn't it all go to the pu-
~pils?" Mr.. Harrington now inquired.
Because the Government provides
the material for their work." Mrs.
Wilcox answered.
"Alao nrovidinR homes for them"
