Superintendent Pope Of the Depart
ment of Public Instruction states that
Miss A. Cowes was appointed to teach
a school at Glenwood, Island of Ha-
wall, on the understanding that the
county supervisors would have a
school building constructed at a cost
of at least $1,000. Miss Cowes, upon
going to Glenwood, found that there
is no school building of any kind. Ac-
cording to the superintendent, it may
be possible to find a room that can be
used for the purpose until a school can
be built. If not, Miss Cowes will be
assigned to some other place where
she is more needed.
