Mckinley High school Mas expressed
yesterday morning by WE. Givens,
principal of the school, il talk to
the student-teachers Of the Serritori-
al Summer school.
when we segregated students who
could not pass an English eXamina-
ton last year, the grand jury spent
about a month here Investigating" he
said. 1--WE intend to do the same this
: ear and the grand jury a come up
t%, two months if it wants to-"
&,ens was telling the summer
schoo& students that as teachers they
are resNusible for a large part of
the high &hool problem.
"Out of NJ students who had been
given diplomat from the eighth grade
of the grammar SCHOOLS and who en-
rolled at the high School last year rs
failed miserably in Il '-English exami-
nation he gave Them said. 1.-THE
examination was the most sinple. We
asked them to write two paragraphs
on any subject they choose, and to
correct five badly incorrect English
sentences. In some of the replies we
received there was not one correct
English sentence in the two paragra-
phs handed in. We give these eXami-
nations in order to classify the enter
ing students. Those who cannot pass
the examination in English must be
allowed to enter the high school be-
cause you have given them diploma,
but we have to place them in a class
by themselves and drill them in
Eighth grade English until they can
start on the freshman work in the
high school"
In reference to lack of finances from
which, he said, the high schools and
the entire school department is
suffering, he declares that you an
not expect interest in the schools
from parents who have no children in
them. He told of a recent meeting of
the Rotary club when not a man rose
Ito the question as to how many had
children in the public schools.
1--WE must bring the public schools
up to the standard where that class
of men will send their children to be
publicly educated" he said. "The
plan regarding a segregated school at
the Central Grammar is a step in that
direction, but it will be some time be-
fore it can be put in operation"
He criticized the board of s~upervis-
ors for selecting the new high school
site on the duck ponds instead of at
the Moililii district where there is
ample room and where the cost of
grading and foundation work would
be comparatively small.
But no matter where the site is we
need the ROOM" he said. I'VE will
have 100 students in this school next
term. This assembly roo holds 237,
When we have a general assembly we
have to have it out in Thomas Square
We are holding some of u classes
in the Methodist church across the
street. Hilo, too, is crowded and some
of the classes there are forced to meet
in chicken houses"
