Plans for the Ten kamehameha
Boys Who Are Teaching
on Hawaii.

There was a meeting of the Board
of Commissioners of Public Instruction
held yesterday afternoon at the rooms
of the Board of Education. There were
present besides Superintendent Bah
bitt, Commissioners Dowsett, Hutchins
and Garden.
The principal purpose for which the
meeting was called was to act on a
request for an arrangement whereby
the ten Kamehameha graduates who
are teaching school on the island of
Hawaii may be permitted to attend
the celebration of the twentieth an
niversary of the founding of the Ka-
mehameha schools. December I9, >~at
which time the first principal of the
school, Rev. w. B. Olesen, is to be
present
The following letter of Inspector
King who is in charge of schools on
Hawaii presenting plan whereby the
ten graduates could attend the cele-
bration without interfering materially
with the school work, was presented,
and the plan was unanimously approx
ed by the board: :,
Kealakekua, Nov. II, 1907.
Mr.. w. H. Babbitt, Supt. Pub. Inst.
Dear Sir: The Kamehameha boys

to attend the celebration at Kameha-
.meha Schools to be held on December
18th. 1 informed them that they could
not leave on the Mauna Loa that ar
rives in Honolulu on the 10th as that
would be unsatisfactory from our
standpoint as no one can be obtained
to act as substitute. I suggested this
plan which is agreeable to them: have
a Efecial steamer call at Napoopoo
amA faiiua Tuesday night to get them
h We them down so as to be on
- sarsday morning; they to visit
schools 80 Honolulu on Friday, and to
teach .5n the Friday after Thanksgiv-
ing and one Saturday. Thus they
make up the two days that they lose
and have one. day to spend in the city
schools. IF this plan is acceptable to
you, or II you nave dLlOtlEeT ouG "
suggest, kindly let me know by re-
turn Mauna Loa.
Respectfully yours,
CHAS. E. KING,
Normal Inspector.
Other business transacted was the
granting of life certificate to Miss
Nellie McLain who has been a success
full teacher in the schools for ten years.
Her work as a teacher was spoken of
very highly both by the principal OF
the school where she teaches. Miss
Felker, and by Inspector Baldwin.

THE CANTEEN CLOSED.
Officers End Members at LeavenwOrth
Home Express Regret.

Leavenworth. March 4.-The can
teen at the Soldiers home has been
closed upon the receipt of an order
from the national board of managers,
and it Will remain so until further
notice. A reporter met Major w. w.
Martin. treasurer of the home and su-
perintendent of the post fund. which
had supervision over the canteen, yes
terday and asked regarding the can
teen. He said:
1.-The canteen closed Saturday, and
it will remain so until further notice.
The act closing the canteens in the
various homes was passed by the last
congress. The sentiment of every
member of the home, and every other
home and the officers is that a great
injustice is being done to these homes
and the members by this act. 1t is
hoped that the act closing the canteen
will be repealed by the next congress"
Major Martin said that the average
yearly profit of the canteen was $751;
600. This sum was expended entirely
for amusements and benefits to MEM
bers of the home. The money secured
at the canteen was also used in main
tanning the buildings, securing plays
and entertainments, and in furnishing
ball games played in the ball park.
The money derived from the sale of
beer at the canteen built the follow

stand. Altogether it is estimated that
the profits from the canteen have
amounted to 100000, all of which has
been expended for a good use
The closing of the canteen will
practically mean the cutting off of the
plays and entertainments which have
been seen at the Home opera mouse:
the end of baseball at the home. and
the various institutions will have to
secure the money for maintenance
from some other source. If nothing
is done towards reoDening the canteen.
1t is believed that congress viii give
an appropriation towards supporting
the above named places.
The post fund which consisted Of

the post fund is a sum estimated at
$4,000. This money will be expended

The canteen was under the immediate
supervision of the council of admins

TO EXTEND THE MAINS.
Water Commissioners Would Lay
$4,000 Feet of Pipe.

Main extensions whose cost will
amount to about $685. 600 will be made
during the year by the board OF water
works commissioners.
Something like $4,000 lineal feet ct
pipe was laid last year and the board
will ask the city council this evening
for authority to purchase as much pipe
this year. The pipe is costing more
this year than it did last and for this
reason the board may not purchase the
full amount stated, $4,000 feet.
When this new additional pipe has
ben laid the city will be gridironed with
mains sufficiently to last for several
years.
Petitions are in for service extensions
in Martin-Dennis addition, and from
East Topeka. the latter however will
not be served until a sewer has been
constructed.
An eleven inch main running from
Western avenue to Kansas avenue
down Seventh street is one of the i'm
provements planned. A lot of temper
airy service pipe of small dimensions
will also be taken up and replaced.
