The Government Editor on Education.

Nh. EDITOR Your brother editor Of the POlyne-
sian has lately favored the world with 4 long article
upon female education. 1t is not the first time he has
treated the subject. He wrote on it years ago, when
he had certain ends to accomplish, dwelling at great
length upon the superior and lasting benefits to be
gained by Hawaiian females. (the firest Of them, }
by mingling with certain Of the other sex in the then
too popular dance houses Of Honolulu.
Now, however, ne have a different tune. The
worthy editor, ever s~olicitous O for the best good Of
the females Of Hawaii Hei, views the system Of educa-
ton pursued by the Government with great alarm,
not only because the sexes are permitted to learn to
read and write at the same place, under the same
teacher in broad daylight. but, because the Govern
meut has secularized the schools. This seculariza-
ton, if I I'm credibly informed, had its origin in the
pertinacity Of the French Catholic priests, who. stead
ily ignoring Colburn's Arithmetic as a Protestant III
vention, refused to teach anything but the catechism,
and the rubric. This last, the Government could not
object to, but not desiring any union Of church and
state, were unwilling to pay for 1t. Is not the late
edusion Of the editor an esho:
He condemns the system pursued by the Government
that supports him; he complains that the system Of
common schools Is ian2ea 50 iou4ly, persisted in 50
i7erora5Iy, and defended 50 bitterly. This Is rich
II the Government Organ denounces the government
system Of education, who under the canopy lauds it :
Inc eiltCr opposes THIS system VINO dgsn0S II so
bitterly
There are those who oppose this system, because Of
its iusuf5ciency in training Hawaiian females in the
duties and responsibilities Of the househoId-iuties
that the rubric. the ca-echism, and q sma;tering Of
the French language cannot qualify them to perform;
but where are its defenders Perhaps the editor
may inform Us in his next .Ssue. Meanwhile, it must
not be forgotten that there are many conscientious
persons who are Of opinion that the sexes should be
educated apart from each other in all cases, not tax
ing into account the catechism. This class i not re-
presented in the editorial. They 10 not believe in
cloister education or discipline, penning up a young
girl till she Is sixteen, aud then leading her out TO
marry q young nan Of twenty, who Ike herself
knows nothing Of the world around him, Of the arts
and duties Of life-nothing but the catechisn. This
class, l wouli say, do not sympathise with the editor
when. in answer TO the question "Where shall We
for this knowledge Of the duties Of life in its va
rious relations, not obtairable in the family, from
whence should it come: 80 he replies,

which a large quantity Of rain fell. Capt McGregor,
in the Henry, lay 10 of Diamond Head during the
night, and describes the scene as awfully grand.
The lightning played around him, almost without in

imminent danger Of being struck. The Captain says
that had there been a light at the channel entrance, he
coub have come in the harbor readily. We are glad to
learn that a light station IS soon to be erected near
