First Case Teacher
Comes To Attention
Maui Accident Board
For the first time since tho ruling
of Attorney General Matthewman that
school teachers come under the pro
visions of tho Workman's Compensa
tion Law the subject came to tho at
tention of tho Maul Industrial Acci
dent Board yesterday though not In a
form that called for olllcial action.
Joaquin Vincent, principal of Keala

ing information for the possible pre
sentation of a claim on behalf of his
wife, a teacher in his school. He was
given a blank form of claim to be fill
ed out and presented to the board if
so desired.
Mrs. Vincent's claim, as told of by
her husband, is not for injuries re
sulting from an accident as aro most
of tho claims coming before the board,
but for illness. The provisions of the
act make it apply to "any disease
proximately caused by such employ
ment" and Vincent says that his wife
suffered a nervous break down as a
result of her work In teaching.
When the claim Is presented the
Maui Board will have to determine
whether it has jurisdiction or wheth

board, the chief place of business of
the employer, the Department of Pub
lic Instruction being Honolulu.
If the Maul board shall hold that
jurisdiction rests in this county then
It will have to determine whether
nervous breakdown is a "disease
proximately caused by such employ
ment or resulting from the naturo .of
such emplayment."
