in letter received yesterday by H.

my own opinion is that the use of
purse nets in these waters during the
past year has caused the direct death
of tons Of fish which later have been
used for chicken feed and fertilizer.
Also, tons of fish were never taken
from the ocean, because, injured in the
nets, they became an. easy prey to the
vast numbers Of shark that congre-
gate at times when the fish are held in
captivity. E,sss

SMALLER SCHOOLS TO
" SHARE AN|TOR FUND

"Therc is no dispute between Super
vising Principal McClusky and me on
the principle of fairer apportionment
of the $500, per year available for
school janitor service" declares School
Commissioner ID. G. Lindsay in last Fri
days Maui News, of Wailuku
"What we didn't agree on was the
method of making this apportion-
ment." Mr., Lindsay stated that he
and Mr.. McClusky are getting together
on the matter, and will be ready on a
schedule by the time of the next meet
ing of the supervisors.
Lindsay further explains that he
wants the principals of the various
schools made responsible for the main
tenance of their buildings and grounds,
and the giving to the smaller schools a
larger share Of the janitor money. Nc
Clusky wants the same thing. The
method of getting it resulted in the
deadlock before the board of super
visprs last week. ....
AT the present time six of the larger
schools get $3l68 of the $4,000 available
For janitors, or almost three quarters of
the entire amount, They represent only
about thirty.fiye per Cent of the school
enrolment, however. The county at
present pays about 5000 per year each
TO six schools for janitor and janltor
supplies. This amount is now likely to
be cut almost in half, in order that
some of the little schools which have
been getting as low as fourteen dollars
per year may be better cared for. The
idea is that each school principal will
be able to Keep dis building and
grounds in prescntable condition
through judicious use Of a little money
in wages to some Of the older boys, OF
to residents in the neighborhood Of the
school. .i. ~.
