HONOLULU, May 21.-WiIliam Nc
Cluskey, formerly supervising princi-
pal on the island of Hawaii, but now
holding an important position in the
school department of North Carolina,
has been appointed to succeed A. l..
Case, as supervising principal of the
county of Maui. Mr.. Case, whose res
ignation was accepted by the school
commissioners on Tuesday, has been
appointed to the principalship of the
Pasuio, Hawaii, school.
The commissioners of education
took a pledge to secrecy at the close
of their session in Honolulu this week,
on the most vitally interesting feat
ure of their work, namely: the matter
of appointments. Although the ap-
pointments of teachers for all the
schools in the territory We're all ap-
proved the lists were not in order
when the session adjourned on Tues
day evening, and it was decided to
have the announcement made by Sup
erintendent Kinney at a later date.
Particular interest centers in the
matter of the supervising principal
ship for Maui 1t has been an open
secret for some weeks past that A.
L. Case, who has held this place for
several years, had been asked to re-
sign, on recommendation of General
Inspector George S. Raymond. The
matter was to be decided finally at
the commissioners meeting, and it is
unders TODD that the resignation was
accepted. Inspector Raymonds rea-
sons for asking for the resignation
were that Mr.. Cases health was not
sufficiently strong to permit his COW
ering the outlying districts as they
should be covered, and that he is not
sufficiently rigid as disciplinarian. 1t
as reported that Mr. Case was to have
the principalship of the Lahaina
school, succeeding Principal o. T.
Boardman, who has resigned and who
expects to leave for the coast after
the close of the school term. This,
it seems, is not the case, though who
is to have Mr., Boardman's place is
not known.
In the matter OF Mr.. Cases success
or, one report had it that Prof. w. S.
Beeman, principal of the Hamakua-
poke high school had been appointed,
while another was that Supervising
Principal Eugene Horner, of Hawaii,
was to get the Job.
Mr.. McCluskey's appointment is a
matter, of considerable surprise to
most persons. 1t is understood, how
ever, that his record on Hawaii was
exceptionally good, and that he has
the fullest confidence of Superinten-
dent Kinney. He was at one time
principal of the Papaikou school, and
afterwards supervising principal
which position he held at the time
he decided to leave for the Coast. He
is, married to a Miss Lyman, of Hilo
who is a cousin of Mrs. w o. Aiken
Although it is understood that Nc
Clusky holds a most excellent posi-
ton in North Carolina, it is believed
by his friends that the "come back
germ has become too strong for him
and his wife.
