FOR A SEPARATE
GRAMMAR SCHOOL
Superintendent Babbitt's Plan
for the Old High
School.

Superintendent of Public Instruction
Babbitt proposes that the present High
School building on Emma street, with
| the buildings occupied by the CONNER
cial department, shall be used here
after for central grammar school, He
outlined his proposal at a meeting of
the Board of Education yesterday
afternoon.
/ There has never been in the past
a distinctive grammar school in the
islands Grammar grades are taught
in number of the schools-three in
Honolulu. His plan is that the High
School Building shall be used hereafter
for a grammar school, in which the
course of instruction shall be more di-
rectly for the purpose of preparing pu-
pills for entrance to the High School for
to the College of Agriculture and Me-
chanfc Arts. The course in this school
shall be more academic than is now the
course in the seventh and eighth
grades. These grades shall be contin-
ned in the other schools but shall re-
tain the present cultural quality.
His idea is that by this means a lar
ger proportion of pupils will be en-
couraged to pursue their education in
the schools farther than the seventh
and eighth grades; that a distinct value
shall be impressed on certificates of
graduation from the grammar school
This is the plan followed in most
cities of the mainland.
The proposal is one which he desired
to present to the Board in order that
it might think the matter over:
The Board decided that the school
terms for the coming year should be:
Fall term, September to December 19;
winter term, January to April 2;
spring term, April II to June -.
1t was decided that the thirty teach
ers who go to the coast on transports,
should be permitted to return on the
transport leaving San Francisco Sep
tember 5, and should not be required to
return on the transport leaving Aug
uSt 3.
Miss Bernice Cook was given a leave
of absence for the remainder of the
term.
The resignation of w. w. Goodale as
school agent for Waialua was accepted
and DR.. Hubert Wood was appointed in
his place.
When the Board adjourned it went in
pupils of the High and Normal schools
were having a rehearsal for the Con-
gress of Song.
Judge Perry, the new member of the
Board. attended for the first time.
