PUNAHOU TO HAVE SIX
ADDITIONAL TEACHERS

Punahou will have zig additional
teachers this year. For the most part
these will be in the Elementary School
and Junior Academy where the divi-
sions Of classes are to be smaller and
where more individual attention will be
possible. Two Of the extra teachers
are to be in the first three grades of the
Elementary SCHOOL,; this will permit
the best quality of work with the
younger children.
In spite of the fact that grades seven
and eight have been taken from Char
les r. Bishop Hall, every class room in
this building win be occupied by the
regular classes and by the new divi-
sions for which extra teachers have
been provided. When the seats in these
rooms have been filled, all applicants
will have to go on an eligible list as
the number in in, each room is to be
limited
Punahou has been fortunate in filling
its staff this year, All of, the positions
have been satisfactorily filled though
some teachers both new and old will
be late for the opening of school I'm
less the special steamer to be provid-
ed by the Shipping Board comes to
their relief. School will open on Sep
ember ninth, ample provision having
been made for all of the teachers who
are likely to be late in arriving.
Three French Teachers
PunahOu win offer this year at least
six years of French and will have three
French teachers. This will give French
the chief place among the foreign Ian
guages, scond only to English. The
plan provides that the emphasis shall
be placed on the teaching of French and
that the language be developed as far
as is reasonably possible throughout the
school.
Mrs. Charles F. Schmutzler, Marie A.
Johnston and Daisy N. Newly are the
teachers in this department. Miss
Johnston is a graduate of Rodcliffo
College with six years experience in
teaching French in New England high
schools; Miss Newly is n graduate of
the University of California and a
teacher of experience. Both have stud

Supply of Nations Flour

A dozen retailers Of foodstuffs, one

conference Monday morning with
Food Administrator ]. C. Stroek in the
Chamber of Commerce headquarters.
Storck called the meeting for the pur-
pose of reading instructions and for
establishing better cooperation
among those affected by the rulings
of the Food Administration. Grocers,
bakers and butchers were represent
ed.
The enactment of food regulations
calling for the sale of substitute cere-
ais with every purchase of wheat flour
has greatly reduced the sale and
consumption of wheat flour, retailers
informed Strock. Grocers are having
little trouble with patrons who dislike
to buy as much substitute cereals as
wheat flour, they said. The public is
responding patriotically as it is made
aware of the Governments need, re-
tailers agreed.
The unusual demands Of the war on
retailers call for the closest co-opera-
tion, the Food Administrator stated.
On this account, he said, F. B. Mum
ford, Federal Administrator for Mis-
souri,, has advised all grocers to join
the retailers association Of their town.
Where there is no such association,
Mumford advises the merchants should
organize one. Where there is an Or
ganization of business firms, he
states, all should belong to this.
