! In connection with the Rosecrans
matter the question as to whether
teachers should be paid upon their
being appointed, even If they did not
actually teach for some reason, as for
instance the non.completion of school
buildings. etc, was discussed. Wight
said that teachers, II they were ap.
pointed and reported ready to work,
should be paid as II they actually had
performed services. He recommended
that an opinion on this question be OBJ
tanned from the Attorney General.
The correspondence in the Rose
Grams matter was read. Rosecrans had
written In answer to the proposition
that Mrs. Rosecrans substitute in the
place of Mr.. Atwater, who had been
given leave of absence, while the
lRosecranses were not teaching owing
to the non.completion of their school
Rosecrans objected to this as he
thought It was too far for her to trav
ell to Mr.. Atwater's school. He offer
ed to pay the salary of Atwater's sub
stltute II the Board thought 1t was W
to him.
Wight said that since Mrs. Rose
Grams, in spite of the fact that she was
not working and yet receiving her sal
airy. had refused to do the work sug
gested, he thought she should pay the
salary of Atwater's substitute. lie
said If this had been business mat
ter he would have favored the dis
charge of Mrs. Rosecrans. He thought
the salaries of both Mr.. and Mrs. Rose
Grams should cease from the time o
their refusal
Babbitt favored this view with the
exception that he thought the pay
ment of the substitutes salary shoult
be made through the Board. These
J recommendations were adopted.

the Hilo High School prepared by
Principal Richmond could not be com
pleted for SIS 900. and had asked If tbs

vor Of giving about $4,000 more II thl
