By the above figures it appears that while
there has been a considerable decrease in
the number Of schools and scholars, and also
in the average number Of days taught, the
average annual cost Of the schools has in
creased in proportion, 9apoi..rig. i, / p,ta .sg,
It will be natural to inquire the cause OF
this: 49,, ,..i !, -efssfsa sf.i ni - -. ,s.l
The decrease in the number of schools II is
accounted for, by the fact that the Inspectors
of Districts, have in many instances, from
motives of economy, combined two or more
schools into one, when it could be done with
propriety, thus saving expense both tll IN the
erection of houses and the employment o.
teachers. ..l, has 5u,I Il {, 80 500
The decrease in the number of scholars
NAV be attributed 10 part 10 the TACT, tna'

common formerly; some being induced to ,st' 90

renee 10 the acquisition of knowledge; and
third class, that, is boys of l6 years, give
as reason for leay ing the schools, that they
are obliged TO pay the So school tax, unless
specially exempted on account OF their good
conduct and diligence in study. But the de-
crease NAV be attributable also, 10 some
measure TO the decrease Of the native pop
u laiion. which appears from the imperfect
returns Of births and deaths, to be still going
on. The proportional increase IN the ex-
pense Of supporting the public schools . ca
sily accounted for. from the well-known
fact that the price of native labor OF every
description, not excepting that Of teaching
has been increasing several years, and has
become in some places most exhorbtant.1

present S. 90 poll tax was imposed. This
would require an appropriation of (440 x
$50 S35, 300, which would be 40 cents per
day to each school, supposing the schools to
be in operation 200 days in the year 1'1ai'
Ao Should the above amount seem large in
viewofthe limited revenue ofthe government,
l reply thatit is proposed only on the sup
position that the revenue may be proportion
ally increased; that the Hawaiian people
will do little more for schools, than what they
are required to do by law; and still farther
that the common schools, have close and
vital connection with their every other

of the schools on the Islands of Oahu, ka-

although found the school houses with some
bright exceptions, in bad condition; the
schools suffering from great scarcity ot
books, a want of interest on the part OF pa
rents, and of skill and energy on the part
of teachers; yet the progress manifested IN
many of the examinations often surprised
and gratifed me. Were there no other
advantages derived from the public schools,
than the ease and elegance, with which the
children learn to read their own language,
this would alone be sufficient compensation
for all they cost the nation. In the protestant
