School Term
Ends June Fl.
LONG VACATION FOR PUBLIC
SCHOOLS AND SCHOLARS WILL
HAIL THE HAPPY TIME

The school term will end June IL.
The various schools will conclude their
work for the year on that date, and
the classes be dismissed for the sum-
mer vacation.
Superintendent of Public Instruction
Babbitt has not determined the date
for the opening of the fall term, but
it will probably be on September 3.
The examination of teachers will oc-
cur on June 26 and o. and the ex-
animation papers will be in the hands
of Superintendent Babbitt by June ~
and 80. The appointments and trans
fers of teachers under the new ratings
that will be secured through the ex-
aminations will be made later.
Superintendent BabDitt expects to
begin about the middle of July to adj
vertise for tenders for the repairs OF
various school buildings. He does not
propose to rush preclpitately into this
expenditure of money, but will pursue
a conservative policy about the dis
bursement of monies for this work.
Repairs to all of the schools will not
be made at once.

OTHER JOB

The following is taken from an arti-
Gle in the Trans-Pacifc Trade. The
article is highly laudatory of Governor
Carter. Acting Governor Atkinson
would make no comment upon the mat
ter relating to himself:
Secretary Atkinson through the
retirement of Governor Carter, will
lose the warmest political friend and
staunchest supporter that he could
possibly possess. The Governor has
been loyal to his Secretary through
thick and thin, and nobody knows it
better than Mr.. Atkinson. Whether
the Secretary will succeed the Cover
nor, or not, is for the President to de-
eide. It may be that some other fed
eral position will be offered him more
to his liking, or he may prefer absolute
retirement from political life. But
whatever station it may be his fortune
to occupy, we feel assured that MIR,
Atkinson will always look back with
warm regard to Governor Carter in APP
probation of his long continued loyal
ty and support.

and the two native assistants Of Orator
Bernard Kelekolio, over the sudden de-
parture of Bernard 1t seems that
Bernard went away singing that little
ditty II remember l forgot"-to pay
the salaries OF his assistants.
Bernard was employed to translate
the House journal into the Hawaiian
language. He had two assistants. The
translation was completed and is said
to be very excellent one. But the
indexing and proof reading of the last
ten days of the session were not COM
pleted when Bernard shook the dust
of Honolulu from his hoofs. Nor had
Bernard, so his assistants claim, paid
them for considerable of their time
and labors. The pay of the transla-
ton was $500 and Bernard drew all OF
this cash. The last amount that he
drew was $500.
The conference this morning at the
Capitol was for the purpose OF learh-
ing exactly how much was due the
assistants 1t is stated tnat the mem

mitted Bernard to draw the pay be-
