grounds of irregular promotion and
lack of discipline.

on the subject this morning:
"While there is no doubt that Prin
cipal Cox has been somewhat slack in
his discipline I think that tho charges
against him have been somewhat ex-
aggerated. It is probable that the
matter is a personal ono between one
or two of the teachers and Mr. Cox

discontent between them.

THE TAX COURT

Pending tho receipt of further In
formation from Hawaii, tho Committee
did not mako endorsements for tho
members of tho Court for tho Fourth
Circuit (East sldo of Hawaii), but

"It is true that tnoro have been
cases of the use of vulgar and pro-
fane language on tho school premises
and also of vulgar conduct, but Mr.
- Cox has investigated them and in some
cases meted out' corporal punishment,
"Every now and again a kind of
dry rot sets In in a school, and it Is
lipble'Ao set. In In any school In the
Territory, and an epidemic of this
sort appears to be what tho Knllhl-
waena school has been suffering from,
If it is allowed to go on unchecked it
is bound to have a bad effect on the
morals of the school. In this
case,
nowever, Principal . Cox appears to
.
have tho situation well in hand. Mr.
Law's class 'Is the one In which most
of the trouble has occurred.
Inspector Gibson stated that he did
not interview any of the teadhers yes
torday and that ho did riot look Into
the alleged circulation of Indecent
prints and the prevalence of smoking'
and gambling among the school chil
dren for the reason that theso matters
had not been at that time- brought to
his attention.
The matter will probably bo dls
cussed at the meeting of tho depart
ment of education on Saturday.
