SICKNESS IN SCHOOL.
Mr.. Rabbit reported having author
tied the closing of Kaneohe school on
account of the prevalence of measles.
This was after consulting with Pres
ident Pinkhana of the Board of Health,
who was influenced in his advice by
the great mortality Of last month-not
50 much from measles, but the after
effects of the malady. Principal Nc
Cabe of Kaneohe had reported an at

and while the school is closed he will

OTHER BUSINESS.
1t was voted to allow all the schools
three days vacation for Chinese New
Years. This action covered a request
to let Kauluwela school out for that
festival, which in previous years had
thinned out the attendance there.
The requested opinion of the Attor-
ney General on the legal relations be-
tween the Board and private schools
was not yet forthcoming
Mrs. Nettie L. Scott of Holualoa
wrote withdrawing her application for
a life diploma on account of the reluc-
tant attitude of the Board shown by
laying 1t on the table. She stated that
Steubenville had about the same stand
ing as Mills College, California, and
While it gave no degrees she graduated
from it with SO per cent. honors.
Mr. Babbitt, after some converse
ton, said he would take up the mat
ter with Steubenville and report.
Inspector Kings report on the open
ing of the school at Paauhau was read.
There We're 40 children in attendance
Mr.. Gipb was present and took an earn
est interest in the proceedings. Mr..
Rabbit explained that this school was
erected for the small children. The big
ones went to Honokaa.
Mr.. Babbitt urged all the members
to visit the construction Of Kalihi-wa-
ena school. 1t was going to be the
finest building in Honolulu. Though it
would have nine rooms, the appropria-
ton was only sufficient to finish five
of them. He hoped the Legislature
would vote money to complete the
building.
Messrs. Dodge and Hutchins having
inquired if they were ON certain COM
nnittees, the superintendent said the
committees We're really to be regarded
as of only nominal standing The
Board had so few members that they
might consider themselves each as be-
longing to every committee. They |
ought to omit no opportunity of visit
ing the schools and observing their |
work as well as the condition of build /
ings and grounds.
The superintendent report to the |
Governor for the two years ending De- |
cember 81, 1906, was distributed in |
pamphlet form to the members.
