ance yesterday on the opening Of the
1856 school year over the total at
tendance at the same schools at the
close of the l9l4l5 school year on June

One hundred sixty eight government
schools, with nearly 500 teachers and
approximately 10000 pupils, opened
yesterday throughout the Islands. The
private schools, not previously opened,
also. began business yesterday, in ,prac-
tically all cases with larger enrol.
ment of scholars than ever before.
Big Increase Expected v.t a.
The government schools closed on
June 90 last with total attendance Of
2S,S27 pupils. That more than 10000
registered at the opening yesterday IL
almost certain, figuring on the increase
recorded by the thirteen schools whose
opening days figures are available.
Only two of these thirteen schools
showed slight decrease, which will
be overcome, Supervising Principal
Davis believes, in q day or, two. 81
. ."There is difference between teach
ing school in the mainland and in Ha'
wall, - said Superintendent Kinney yes
terday, reverting to the subject OF
school teachers, the annual summer
school and the territorial normal school
which is designed to prepare teachers
for local demands.
Locally Trained Teachers Wanted
"For this reason l believe that per
sons who are trained in the Honolulu
normal school finish unusually vel
qualified for the local work. Hawaii
trained teachers, those trained for thu
teaching profession in Honolulu and
elsewhere in the Territory, are what
the department of public, instruction
needs and wants. For these reasons
would like 10 see the capacity of the
normal school doubled this year.
One hundred forty four men anC
women were enrolled in the Norma
School when the public schools CLOSED
on June %, last, preparing for thu
teaching profession. When the norma
opened Yesterday 1872 registered, will
probably a considerable number more
70 be heard from. Domestic seiene'
and vocational work will receive more
than the ordinary attention this yea
at the Normal. Harlan Roberts, whit
was connected with the Lahainalun'
School on Maui the past ten years, will
have charge of the budding carpenters
He succeeds Il. Allen Creevey, who wa
deta;led to take up vocational worl
on Kauai.
