The Hawaiian gazette., 1870-07-06

Mr.. Kahauelio made remarks in favor of the Bill !;
his desire was very strong that it should pass II it
were foreigner to whom it was proposed to pay a
salary, the Bill would be passed at once.
His Ex, Mr. Harris, said there seemed TO be a
mistake in the House about the Board of Education
There were five members, three of whom constituted
quorum for the transaction of business; of these
three, the President very seldom one, and about
five or six times year he was called upon to sign
| his name to various documents. How much did the
House propose to pay him for signing his name once
/ in while? The fact was, the President did less
work than any other member of the Board. By the
law, the Inspector General the executive officer,
this Bill did not change that-and calling the Pres
ident Minister of Public Instruction. did not make
any difference in the law. Another thing had been
said that salary was denied because the President
was native, not foreigner. There would be no
difference If Mr.. Bishop President, or any other
white man. Fl. H., NJ Kekuanaoa, was in that po-
siton when the change was made; it was absurd
to say that the change was made because he was
native, and every one knew that salaries had been
granted TO him, and would have been merely by re-
questing the Legislature 1t had been said that
the schools falling off, because there was no
Minister of Public Instruction. His opinion was
that the cause was the falling off of the Births and
consequent decrease of population. Some thought
| that making Minister of Public Instruction would
again bring up the schools His opinion hardly CO.
incided with that: such an appointment would
hardly increase the births. What had been said
about the i'll performance of the duties of the In
spector General if true would receive serious
sideration from the Board of Education.

like to hear of the matter, the duties of the
Judge at Koolauloa were not so heavy but that he /
could do his duty by the Waialua portion of his dis
trct. Was the purpose to create more officers to
bring justice to every mans door? If the latter
