What Amounts to Accusation
of juggling Made in Let
ter to Education Board

What amounts TO an accusation that
the department of public instruction
has ..iuggled" the handling OF grade
school examinations and test figures
in order TO make a showing Of efficien-
cy is contained in the latest develop
ment of the College Clubs criticism
of the department >-...,
This criticism. brought to public
notice when the College Club proposed
the federal survey" is now turned
directly on the departments regula-
tions for examinations. In a letter
dated March z and directed to Super
intendent Kinney and commissioners
OF education, the College Club asks
for "a word of explanation concerning
apparent contradictions" The letter
is signed by Kate w. Forbes, presi-
dent, and Agnes G, Weaver, chairman
of the committee on local interests.
The letter begins BY referring to
Superintendent Kinney's recent re-
port TO the governor covering the hi
ennial period ending December 81,
1915. I'VE are asking" says the club,
for an explanation Of certain discre-
pancies which, unexplained. tend to
yitiate the results announced"
The letter then gees on to question
the percentage Of graduation from the
eighth grade and the spelling test.
Superintendent Kinney's report show
ed 50 per cent Of eighth grade child
rem passing as graduates in 1914; 20
per cent in 1915 and 81 per cent in
1876. # r's* =

COLLEGE CLUB QUESTIONS KINNEY's
REPORT ON PROGRESS OF SCHOOLS.

ON technical arithmetic Il still had a
chance to catch them on technical
grammar "e &.
THE 1915 rule made promotions dis.
cTetionary If the candidate had IS per
cent in all but two subjects. nor less
than so per cent in each OF the two,
and an average in all OF not less than
IS per cent. -. II. ..
The present rule removes the g.
per cent minimum requirement, does
away with all discretion on the part
Of the teacher. and requires that every
pupil must be promoted If he gets an
average Of 10 per cent however du-
biouS may have been the conditions
under which the mark may have been
obtained. 1t should be apparent and
will be apparent to anyone who in
spects a. few sheets of examination re-
ports. that an entire class might be
failed under the first rule in 1914.
whereas that same class under the
third rule OF 1916 might all have to be
passed on these same papers"
Turning to the second line OF in
qu!ry, the club questions the spelling
tests as now conducted by the depart
ment d.. ....
1.-The recent report claims the test
in spelling to have been conducted in
accordance with methods employed
by the Russell Sage Foundation with
an absolute mathematical accuracy
not to be obtained easily in any other
subject" the letter runs. II then
proceeds to give some quoted figures,
the substance of which is that appa.
rently Mr.. Kinney's report and the
Russell Sage chart are wide apart in
giving the records of mainland SPELL
ing. The letter insinuates that the
mainland records have been "juggied"
to show that the average spelling In
the 10 largest schoolst in Hawaii is
much better than in cities of the
mainland. The letter seems, by indi-
rection, to accuse the Kinney report of
misquoting the Russell Sage chart.

fCTIVE HEADS
f DEPARTMENTS
NAY BE PROVIDED
Oahu Delegation is Reported to
Have Decided Against Short
Ballot Amendment

That the Oahu delegation OF the
house has practically agreed 10 kill
the amendment proposed by the Cham.
Der Of Commerce pr0yiding that mem-
beers of the board of supervisors shall
have the power TO appoint all heads
OF city departments, became known
today following a meeting yesterday
afternoon or the delegation.
The delegation has carefully con-
sidered this particular amendment and
thus far 1. has not been accepted,
while some OTTER amepdments have.
II Is further - sorted that practically
the entire Rep.Iblican delegation in
the legislature has a1reed that the
people shall retain the right to elect
all city officers.
Taking up the charter yesterday sec
ton by section, the Oahu delegation
got as far as the section relating To
sheriffs and their duties. Here will
undoubtedly arise another question
that OF giving the mayor the power TO
appoint chief OF police, with the ap.
proval Of the supervisors, thus taking
the control of the police department
from the hands of the sheriff, making
that officer merely civil employee.
Another questicH upon ss~hich there
will be debate Is Tat relating TO the
election OF the supervisors. The
amendment proposed by the chamber
provides that three shall be elected
from the fourth /and three from the
fifth district Thus far no vote has
been taken on this amendment and
no vote will be taken until ..ss entire
Oahu delegation can get together. No
member is bncking the amendment,
however.
A few Of the amendments proposed
by the chamber already have been &C
cepted in lieu OF sections In The pres
ent charter bill. One of these is the
amendment regarding the recall. In.
stead of the customary petitions, this
amendment provides that e person
favoring q recall snail make sworn
statement TO that effect before the
county clerk.
The next meeting or the delegation
will be on Monday or Tuesday A re-
Dc.t on the charter bill is expected

Sailed as Gold Ship
The Kronprinzessen Cecilie was
bound from New York for Plymouth
and Cherbourg when her commander
was warned that war had been de-
clared. He, turned back and found
refuge at Bar Harbor, Me. On board
the steamship was gold shipped by the
Guaranty Trust Company and the Ma
tional City Bank of New York to
bankers in London and Paris, and
these bankers libeled the vessel, claim
ing damages of 81, 800, 900 because of
the failure to deliver the consignment.
In November, 1914, United States
marshal took possession of the steam
ship, which was brought to Boston,
where she has since been tied up.
When. Count Bernstorff was given
his passports the libellants sought pro-
lection Of the vessel from damage by
the crew, with the result that Marshal
Mitchell took physical possession Of
the ship, putting the German captain
and crew ashore. 1t was then found
that the machinery had been tempered
with, making it impossible to navigate
the vessel until many and extensive re-
pairs had been made.
The ibellants sought damages in the
United States District Court, where
they were refused They appealed and
the United States Circuit Court of APP
peals oyerruled the lower court and
sent the case back for a hearing on a
petition for the sale of the ship, which
was heard today.
The court. today did not intimate
whether any action for contempt
would be taken against Capt Polaek
or Chief Engineer Bierans, who was
instructed with the work of rendering
the machinery of the liner imperative
