Of Honolulu, 10 prevent children from wandering

il to be granted . to any child who may be rcgi-
tered SuPIOse not registered, then what:
The teachers Of independent schools are not &c
4uired To- keep a register. Again suppose n child
not certifcatel l. admitted, then what? \ fine
Of five dollars for the fret offence, ten for the
second, and removal from sncci at the pleasure
Of the Court. We would like 70 see the Courts
removing our teacher from Office, President
Alexander. Of PuuahJu. for instance.
TIE fact T., the law became sadly mixed up.
IL was framed for al schools. The opposition
did mean % limit il 20 Government schools en-
tirely. They trusted tie matter 10 the Committee
on Education, who left it in the mixed up way it
i now, part referring o. Government schools.
part 70 other schools. AMI in such a form ;lat the
Knokoa ehims that It does not refer to irtepen-
dent schools az all.
We said sueh a law was n good one fr Homo
lulu. Honolulu l. all that tire Board Of Eluca-
ton generally have in yiew in framing laws.
That IL just what we find fault with. ~ to the
workings Of this law in the out-di-tricts, We lad
complaints long before the huoloa had anything
70 =ay, AMI from a totally distinct source. \
Hawaiian family, say. leaves Waianac for Kane
ohe. They will not Lc likely % trouble them
selves % get a certificate Of release for their child
by rJiia5 an application to the teacher. Trey
reach KaneDhe, anil the teacher there. according
To- law. refuses u take the child in, and BE- loaf
di-eon-ohtsIy out ur school perhaps for weeks.
This i iIet-the practical working of red-taIe-
i-m-an example Of IIOw-not-tO-dO-it, and the
- eircumlDcutiJn Office" On Hawaii. II he comes
from an iDdepcndcnt school and i = unregistered. -
be may not ct a certificate Of release any way.
We still believe the thing wa- more a rlsp "a; in
dependent schools than a law asain-t yagran,y,
and here we leave IL.
