Mr. Bishop objected to the passage OF the Dill, as

excentinp To preside at meetings, neither WOuld ll

Mr. Kuapuu favored the passage OF the bill as
its provisions were wise and beneficial and showed
great learning on the part of the intrOducer.
Mr. Kahaulelio favored strongly the passage of
the bill.
Mr. Harris (1Iin1ster of Foreign Affairs) said
there seemed 10 be a mistake in the House re-
garding the Board of Education. The Board
consisted of FIVE members, three of whom made
quorum for transacting business. The President
was seldom one OF these, for in fact he did less
work than any other member of the Board.
About five or six times year he was called on to
sign his name TO various documents, now how
much are you going to pay him for that? If you
are going TO pay the captain OF the ship big
salary better pay the mates some too. BY the
law the Inspector General was the executive
officer and this bill did not change that. Calling
the President a Minister OF Public Instruction did
not make any difference in the law. Another
thing had been said that salary was denied be-
cause the President was q native. There would
be no difference if Dir. Bishop any other
white man was President. High chief KekuanaOa
held that position when the change was made,
and it Was absurd to say that the change was
made because he Il native every one knew
that salaries had been granted him. The reason
of the falling off of schools has here been assigned
to there being no Minister of Public instruction,
but he thought it was from want of population
Some thought that making Minister of Public
Instruction would again bring up the schools,
but he could not see wherein such an appoint
ment would increase the births. What had
been said regarding the i'll performance of the
duties of tile Inspector General, if true, and if
properly presented by this House, would receive
serious consideration from the Board of Education.
Mr.. LunalilO asked leave to withdraw the bill.
Objected to by Mr.. Lyons.
