The Public Schools.

AS announced by the City Superinten-
dent, the next term Of the Public Schools
of this city will commence on Monday
= the 18th instant 1t is thought that the
Schools will commence under favorable
circumstances. They have recently pas
sed through a season Of trial, and the pat
rons of the Schools are now in a condi-
tion to ,be satisfied with Teachers who are
competent and faithful in the discharge
of the duties entrusted to them. And
the Board of Education have engaged for
the ensuing year, as Principal Of the
High School, Ell. O. Durkee, Esq, who
comes to them, after several years expert
ence in similar capacity at Lyons, Iowa,
and Geneseo, Ill, and with the most salts
factory assurance, on the part of his ref
erences, of his high qualifications. And
what is still better, Mr.. Durkee carries
with him, in his personal appearance and
department, recommendations which are
more valuable than any references, how
ever high and valuable they may be
Besides the Principal and one or two
other Teachers, the same Teachers will
continue who have been employed during
the past year.
And new, if the Teachers, Scholars and
Friends of Education, will unite in harmo-
NOUS efforts our Schools may, be raised,
not only to the highest standard they
ever attained, but to standing higher
than they have ever reached. And it is
to be,hoped that there may be that con-
cert and union of action which is neces-
sary for the Advancement and prosperity
Of the Schools. LetTeachers, let Schol-
ars, let Friends, let every one, say, as for
me, will do the best can, and then act
accordingly, and the work will be more
than half done and the remaining half
will be easily accomplished. To our Pub
lie Schools we are indebted for our gene
raj intelligence, and to our general intel
ligence we are indebted for our freedom
and to our freedom we are indebted for
our liberty, and give us liberty or give
us death. So letGYery one labor to per
petuate the liberties secured to US by our
fathers. sa5a-a 6a5

SUNDAY READING.
An Anegory.

T The old man was toiling through the
burden and heat ofthe day, in cultivating
his field with his own hand, and deposl-
ting the promising seeds in the fruitful
lap of yielding earth. Suddenly there
stood before him under the shade of a
huge linden tree, a vision. The old man
was struck with amaZement. .f..e-

friendly voice. "What are you doing

Sunday Schools in Hawaii.
Hawaii is place where Sunday Schools
abound, and might with propriety, send
some missionaries to localities in this
country that bear much more plainly the
stamp of heatherndom. At a convention
held this year, there were 81 schools re
ported with total average attendance of
1861 boys and ,437 girls. Probably the
schools unreported would make up $500
as the average attendance, and 1000 as the
number of children belonging to Sunday
schools The number. Of teachers is SO.
There is also an attendance Of adults num-
bering 1928, making sum total Of 6,092
of all ages. The largest school in the couD-
try is the Kawaiahao school, The average
attendance of children for the whole year
is $50. Lahaina comes next with 222,
Kaumakapil1 with 1874, Kohala with 146,
Hilo with 142, and Waialua 1885, These
it must be remembered, are all children.
AT Kohala the whole congregation resolve
themselves into Sunday school after SER
vice, making an average count for the year
of 373. KaWaiahao at present numbers
over 400 every Sunday
spurgeon en- open Communion.
Mr.. Sturgeon says, in late letter in re-
plyto question on the subject:
Whether open communion be right or
no, one thing should think beyond all
disputo-Viz., that where it has been
adopted it has been likelife from the dead
to many old and decaying interests; and
in no case has its adoption retarded the
growth of the churches, except where
strict brethren have seeded and made
themselves into parties. I do not look
upon the fact as of any consequence, be-
oauoo churches Hoe5 grow all the more
with a sort of increase under unhealthy
system; but I venture to say that our
largest, most wealthy, most Intelligent,
and most growing churches e0eryacber0, ex-
cept Yorkshire, are all open communion.
Indeed, strict communion is about extinct
among us, exceptain certain districts. The
assertions to which youalIude are baseless,
and the small show of statistics, taken
years ago, and in a limited area, goes for
nothing: Ask az man who knows Eng
land, and he Will tell you that the prac-
tice of open communion has been thesign
.of growth among us, and has always fol
lowed at the heels of enlight eminent.

County Superintendent.

Mr.. EDIToR II noticed in recent
issue of your paper, an article under the
head, GA Model School" The article
alluded to, described somewhat the work
inc of the school, and also mentioned the
ftct that the Teacher is a man of much
experience in his profession, and every
way fitted to fill higher place, &C. Now,
this is-a start in the right direction and
let US keep marching on, until we get the
right man in the right place. Mr. Barns
is known to every teacher in the
county, for he has been engaged in his
present vocation for the past eleven years.
During this long and successful period of
teaching, his earnestness in the cause of
education, has been manifested by his
presence and labors at all educational
meetings, also by his voluntary offers to
assist those of his fellow-laborels who
Were younger and g. less experienced.
Again: his intimate acquaintance with
the teachers of the county, is one Of vital
Importance both to teachers,and those who
are being taught. In view of all these
facts we say Mr.. Fl. Barns ought to be our
next County superintendent. Let us see
to it then, that in the great work of edu-
eating the childrenand youth of our county
we secure the right person TO direct it,
TEACHER.

We would recommend the writer to ex-

are. We think the writer could not have
determined upon the measure and verse
before common eng to write, and there
may be some difficulty now in determine

respects, a good one, but the writer could
