School. for Female Hawaiians.

Who form the moralcharact of a nation /! Napo-
leon said, 8 It's mothefs.' Had he been an observer
of character here at these islands, he would have
said, sits mothers, wives, and other females;' for
the females of Hawaii are like magnets to all of the
other sex. As mothers, they give shape and their
own impress to the character of all the children nur-
tured in their society. As wives, they confirm and
call out good character in their husbands; or drive
them in desperation to do bad. In other and doubt
full relations, they confirm in pollution the men who
debase them.
But the rulers, ministers, legislature of this nation,
and all of us foreigners are, by mutual inaction, ,leav-
ing native female education to utter neglect; and con-
signing its females over 10 the demands of the licen-
tious. Is it not awful, that priest, government, and
the enlightened of the people supinely say by their
acts, to the whole race of Hawaiians, that they need
not design anything higher for their daughters, than
to raise them up for base purposes?
Every one who carps at the general prostitution of
Hawaii girls should blush, that we are not furnishing
them one school, where these girls can be brought up
virtuous and chaste, untainted in the licentious at
%mosphere which all of the churches, ministers, and
their preaching here for forty years, have not been
able to purify.
The object of this communication is, to call your
attention.-make a beginning-and see if possibly a
A""y WV vi iId"iildn girls can De sustained.
A house has been obtained near Punahou, on this
island. Miss Ogden. an experienced and accom-
plished teacher has consented as matron, with the
assistance of a young lady as teacher, to open a nur-
sery school for ten or twelve girls, beginning with
those from four to six years of age; train them up,
and make of them just such chaste and virtuous wo-
men as are our wives and mothers.
Should this school as an experiment be patronized.
means will be put in operation 10 open others, as fast
as capital and teachers are demanded for the object.
Have any of you foreigners a little daughter whose
best prospects now are prostitution and ruin which
engulf Hawaiian and half caste girls! Do you love
her enough to provide a better hope for her? Here
is your opportunity.
Or do any of you feel an interest in saving some
bright Hawaiian child of your acquaintance from the
rum gaping before them all? Adopt, and send. and
support her at this, or some other school, to be open-
ed when we find scholars and means for carrying
them on. | appeal to every christian.
You owe to these Hawaiians whose countrv Won
enjoy an antidote to the RIGHTEOUSNESS by wbi.h our
race is leading them to extinction. 1t is beneyolence
due,-a debt. Will you pay it. A.

the city Of New York. and we'll knowing the
potency of official titles he stepped in an ad-

The ORDER OF SONS OF 1ENpERANcE,-
This Order, that in years past accomplished
50 much in the cause of Temperance, is now
being revived in this and other States, and is
increasing IN number with greater rapidity
and accomplishing more than ever before
About sixty Divisions have been added to
the Order in this Stat,, since the first of
January, bringing III some of our leading
business men and enlis:ing, very generally,
the true and tried Temperance men Of all
parties and sects. Dir. Colby, who has been
deyoting his time 10 this question for six
months past,is now in this town for the pur-
pose of organizing Division of the Sons
here. That something should be done to
check the progress Of lntemperanee, nobody
can deny, and We know of no organization
that would be likely to accomplish more
than this order; at any rate it is not best to
be behind our neighbJrs in this particular.
