The above are the Eve supervising
principals whom the commissioners OF
public instruction at yesterdays mees.
ing decided to appoint for the new
school year, which begins next septem-
Der. This number Of supervising pin.
cipals is three less than the number
which has been employed since the 1911
session Of the legislature recognized
the school department Of the Territory.
Hawaii is given two supervising in
spectors instead Of three. v, A. Car
valho Of Hilo and Puma districts being
dropped. He win be made, however,
principal of the school at PapaixoiI,
Hilo, which is considered one of the
most important on the Island.
Mani gets but one supervising prin-
cipal. John Kaaha is dropped, and, at
his own request, will be transferred to
Oahu, being made principal Of the Ka-
lihi-kai school.
Oahu ALSO gets but one supervising
principal, Mrs Mary Gum being given
charge Of the whole Island, no one
being appointed to the position hereto
fore occupied by Charles Il. King, re-
signed, the position being deleted.,
The commissioners yesterday decided
to make the salary of each Supervising
Inspector $3.50 per month, which is a
raise over the previous salary paid, hut
each supervising principal will here
after pay all the travelling expenses.
On the Nhole, besides allowing for
three less supervising principals. the
department is thus effeeting a material
saving to the Territory. .:'..

There was full attendance of the
commissioners Of education at yester-
days meeting Of the board, those pres.
ont being Commissioners Mrs. Theodore
Richards and Prof. L.. G.. Blackman Of
Oahu, Mrs. b. ID. Bond and William IL.
Smith of Hawaii, T. Brandt of Kauai
and ID. @. Lindsay of Maui, the last two
mentioned commissioners arriving on
Sunday morning from their respective
districts. ,a~
During the morning session Col. C.
w. Ashford, claiming that he did so
only as a citizen and taxpayer, APP
peared before the board and launched
into a fervid talk in opposition to the
further retention by the department OF
education of Prof. Edgar Wood, prin-
cipal Of the Normal School. Mr., Ash
ford reverted to the old charges against
this employe, which formed the basis
of Legislative inquiry by the last legis.
lature and the one before. The com.
missioners heard the speaker, but kept
their counsel, nothing resulting so far
as the result of Mr.. Ashford s attack.
The board spent considerable time
yesterday on transfers and appoint
ments Of Oahu teachers for the new
school year and win continue on the
subject this morning at ten O'Clock,
when it meets again. Kauai, Maui and
Hawaii school appointments win be ta-
ken up next. Until the whole list has
been settled upon, no publication will
be made of the appointments. ri +
The board yesterday decided to make
some alterations in the form of the
contracts under which it employs
teachers, in accordance with the report
OF the legislative committee. The board
desires to make its contracts with
teachers far more definite than these
have been in the past. The new con.
tracts will be executed in luplirate,
signed by both theh teacher and the
proper representative of the depart
ment, each keeping copy,
In addition TO this there will be a
form Of contract for teachers who are
appointed for some definite kind Of
work, such as special instruction in
high SCHOOLS, and so on. Finally, there
will be a class of provisional appoint
ments, that is, teacher whose work is
below standard, or who is appointed
subject to the passing of an examina-
ton or about whose permanency of en-
ploymcnt there may be some question,
will be appointed subject TO some such
provision, the department reserving its
right to terminate such employment on
a month Is notice, in case the condition
in question Is not fulfilled. ,| .:
