"As to. Administrative matters
within the schools, your Commit
tee feels that in many cases the
children are being pushed too much
and are promoted befote they are
ready, this with the evident inten
tion of keeping up the grading of
the school, while i n reality it
works the other way,
back whole classes, is unfair to
bright pupils, and an endless an
noyance to the teachers. There
seems to be a feeling among the
teachers that they must promote or
lose standing themselves. Any sys
tem which forces a teacher to act
against her conscience and judg
ment is an evil one and should be
at once given up. Mort. trust and
confidence must be placed in the
teacher, nd we believe we have a
class of teachers on whom we can
rely for honest and efficient work.
The matter of promotion should,
we believe, be placed more in the
hands of the Principal, who will
consult with his teachers.
"Under a new system introduced
this year, the Principals are allow
ed too little time for supervision. In
the Hananiaulu School, where
there are six assistants, no time at
all is allowed for supervision, in
the Lihue School, with eleven as
sistants, only forty-five minutes.
The Principal is supposed to do
actual school-room teaching during
the time not allotted for supervi
sion, to make daily programs, a
lesson plan, and to administer the
school besides. It is impossible for
any Principal to teach, to super
vise a 12 room school, and to tend
besides to the countless extra daily
demands on her time and attention,
and to advance her school. A par
tial list of extra calls on a Princi
pal's, time we submit herewith:
"Absentee pupils papers to file;
Truancy investigations; Interviews
with pupils sent to the office by
teachers; Seeing parents and writ
ing letters to parents; Punishment
investigations; Pupils to be sent to
the hospital; Issuing leave of ab
sence papers; Ordering supplies;
Arranging for examinations. Look
ing over papers, plan-books of
teachers, etc; Exchanging papers
with other schools; Attending to
report-cards, receipts for warrants,
etc; Monthly reports; Attending to
visitors.
"In one month alone the Prin
cipal of the Lihue School had 16
visitors, a few strangers, others
parents or friends, many wishing
to look over the School and
grounds, and visit from health-of-ficeis,
which entailed preparation
for fumigation. In all these cases
the Principal was obliged to leave
her classes, which suffered in con
sequence. Many of our teachers are
young Normal Graduates who lack
experience and should have thor
ough supervision. Mr. Raymond,
the Inspector-General in his Kapaa
address, stated that in one year of j
for this purpose in a school of this
size. Your committee recommends
that this matter and that of pro
motions be taken up with the pro
per authorities.
"The Supervising Principal is
demanding too' much in the way
of plans and typical lessons from
the teachers. We understand that
in some cases it takes all a teach
er's extra time for a week to write
these out, and when this is de-
j manded vcar after year, it be
comes, to say the least, annoving.
Such work might be required in a
Normal School, but here it is ab
solutely unnecessary. The Super
vising Principal should, i f he
I wishes to know of a teacher's work
, and ability, examine her creden-
holds consult ner rrmeipai, and
visn tier school room. There he
should discover in a very short
time all that he wishes to know.
We recommend that a protest be
made in the proper auarter against
the continuation of th;se unneces
sary demands on a teacher's time
and strength.
"Ycnr Committee feels- more
and more that the"Experimeut" of
having a Supervising Principal for
each island is a failure, so far as
Kauai is concerned. It has never
given satisfaction, largely because
a suitable mar, trained for such
work, has not been forthcoming.
With a competent man holding the
position, we might look for a great
er measure of success. We believe
that the Principals should be com
petent and should be trusted ab
solutely by the Board and by the
Community, and should be given
a freer hand in the management of
their schools. We believe that we
have good and satisfactory Prin
cipals jn all the large schools of this
island, and we recommend that
the Mokihana Club address both
the Superintendent and the Com
missioner with tl e recommend
ation that the position of Supervis
ing Principal be abolished and that
the old svstem of Inspectors, which
was in existence before the creat
ing of the office of Supervising
Principal, be returned to, with the
understanding that the Inspector
visit Kauai three times a year at
the least. This svstem gave satis
faction, as far as we know. Train
ed men should be secured for in
spectors. We have no doubt that
greater satisfaction would be given,
greater efficiency result therefrom,
and a greater saving to the De
partment be effected. The present
Inspector General is too busy with
office work in Honolulu. lie should
have an assistant for such work
and be allowed more time for the
actual visiting of schools.
"As to Buildings and Grounds,
the Lihue School, the largest in
the District, is by far the poorest
off. The other schools have new
buildings, with the exception of
the Hananiaulu School, which has
still one old two-ioouied building,
and all these new rooms are well
lighted a n d satisfactory. The
grounds at these three schools are
large enough to accommodate all the
children at recess. At the Lihue
School buildings are inadequate
There should be a room which
could be used as a Library a sew
ing room . a better Principal's of
fices, a nicely furnished Teachers'
rest-room, for the use of the teach
ers at the noon hour, closets, and
j storerooms.
