NO MORE BOYS
GO To WAIALEE
Commissioners Stop Further En-
roIlment, Because Of
0yercrowdinu.


Believing that the Boys industrial
School az walales is grossly overerowd-
ed, the commissioners Of the department
OF public instruction yesterday passed
a resolution closing that institution TO
further pupils and withdrawing a mum.
Ter OF others.
Another resolution instrueting Super
intendent Tucker to provide each boy
with an extra pair Of sheets, an extra
FELLOWSHIP, and an extra pair of pyjamas
and to supply a tub at the dormitory
door for the youngsters to wash their
feet in before going to bed, embodied
all the criticism that the board had to
make in regard to the school itself.
The closing of the school, as far as
new pupils are concerned was one of
the most important actions taken by
the commissioners at their meeting yes
terday and may have serious effects al
though the commission believes that
they will be no more serious than the
effects which might ensue if the school
was to continne under present condi-
tions. 1t was also ordered that all or
phans or other young boys there as the
result of parental delinquency be with
drawn from school before they suffer
possible contamination in their associa-
ton with boys there for other reasons
and possibly possessed of vicious habits.
The proposition offered by the Ka-
huku plantation of building an agricul-
tural school there was seriously consid-
cred, the only action taken being to
appoint committee to ascertain whe-
Their or not it viii be possible for the
department TO get the number of pupils
which the plantation wishes guaranteed
before it will erect the buildings. There
was some doubt as to what class OF
boys was necessary, it being successive
ly proposed to search the local schools
for volunteers to attend school there
! or to take boys from the industrial
school. The objects of the present com
mittee will be TO devise the best plan
To Investigate Wilson.
The commissioners opened their after
Ipoon session yesterday with a discus
sion of the charges brought against
School Principal Wilson, formerly Of
the Hilea school and now of the Kappa
hala school. w. II. Rice thought tina
the man should be discharged at one,
if the charges were true, and afte
considerable discussion in which hi
past record was brought to light,
committee composed of Supervising
Principals King and Horner and Com
missioner John T. Moir were appeinte'
to investigate the charges. Meanwhile

Correspondence and documents wer
brought to light yesterday afternoo
which showed that charges, in som
cases similar to those at present stand
ing against him, were brought agains
him in 1901, 1904 and 1907 and on
petition at least has been presented
during the administration of w. +
Rabbit, to have him discharged.
No Overtime.
The attorney general dropped a littl
bomb in the meeting in the afternoo
by sending in decision to the effeC
that he did not believe the department
should give teachers overtime pay fc
aovertime work in the face of a lack o
| statute presenting that power.
1t seems that Superintendent Pop
stated that some of the teachers hav
! been getting overtime for their worl
which included the teaching of two sci
of classes a day on account of owe
4 crowding and this practise comes no
Q ito a summary stop. 1t means in man
t of the school districts that numbers {
! children will receive no instruetio
whatever, unless the policy of half-da
= sessions is intrQduced with the resu
r that all children win get only half i
|. struction. The department is mt
r prepared to ask the teachers to put

r rates of pay are as at present.
