pal of Lanaina and Molokai, -as sub
mitted for the position of inspector
Of the schools Of Hawaii, and ap-

person now eligible for the position.
R. C. Bowman, principal of the La

by Gibson to take Raymond's place
should he accept. Other persons
recommended for the supervising
principalships were H. H. Brodie, for
Kauai; Mrs Mary Gum, first school

The supervisors of Maui may have
to dig deep into the county Golfers
in order to meet with the demands
OF the present board, for resolution,
calling for a grammar and high school,
at Hamakuapoko, Maui, for the ac-
commodation of the children of the
hcmesteaders, was presented and
adopted The purpose of such a school
is to provide for the advancement of
the English-speaking children to as
great an extent as possible. The de-
partment of public instruction will
furnish three and probably four
teachers and the supervisors of the
county of Maui will be asked to pro-
vide the funds. Such school as this
has long been advocated both locally
and by the residents of Maui, and it
Is expected that the present plans
will meet with all the necessary re-
quirements. ~.-":..@ -s-.
