Report of the President of the Board Of
Education.

This interesting document, making q printed PAM
phlet Of some two dozen pages, was laid before the
Assembly on Wednesday last. We find room for the
concluding paragraphs:
"I am Of the opinion that manual labor shouIdb be
made q part of our system of common school eduea-
ton. There are government lands lying contiguous
to common school houses, now unemployed. In
many localities q prtion of this could be utilized by
the pupils and teachers in raising remuneratiye
crops. I would recommend that an act be passed by
your Honorable Body empowering the Board Of Ed
ucation to introduce manual labor into the educa-
tional course Of tie common schools, and setting
apart, under certin conditions, portions of the
public domain, adjoining the various school houses,
which may be fit for cultivation of crops, 10 the uses
of the pupils and teacher, wherever no school lands
can be made availtble for the purpose, and also to
lease suitable lands and to arrange for the ~cultiya-
ton of crops on shares or otherwise.
"Three or four hours per day of earnest attention
to school lessons, am two or three hours of manual
labor out Of doors, would promote health and indus
trious habits; the aEails of the labor would add to-
the income of the teachers and furnish the pupils
with means to pay for books, and would, if properly
carried out, be an Improvement upon the present
system.
:" 1t is frequently remarked that the rising gener-
alton are not as Industrious as their ancestors were;
that they-and especially those educated in the
higher schools and in the English language-have
wrong ideas about labor; in short, are lazy and idle,
and have much more of pride and conceit than is
good for them.
IF the general effect of education under cur
present system, is to destroy or lessen respect for
honest industry, or for thrift and independence ac-
quired by manual labor, then is there something
wrong or wanting ia that system, and it behooves all
friends of the race to search for a better one. But if
such ideas are exceptional, and proceed from the in
experience of youth, and the lack of proper home
instruction and training, then may we hope that
their bad influence will be temporary, and that time
and necessity will correct them. Hawaiian parents
are. as q rule, over-indulgent with their children,

will wholly remedy the damage resulting from neg
lect of paternal discipline.
;" 1t is important that in all of the schools, those
for girls as well as those for the boys, a desire to be
able to provide for their own wants in an honest way,
and respect for the Industrious and virtuous, how
ever humble their station and employment may seem
ito be, should be inculcated. Where else so well as
in family schools, or in well-ordered households, can
such Instruction be given and such ideas impaired 90

LEGISLATIVE JOTAINGs.

On Monday the House got fairly at work on
the Constitutional amendments proposed at the
extra session Of last year, and they have made
short work of them. The first one taken up was
the most important, that Of Article 45, providing
for a separation of the Houses. Three hours de-
bate, in which some ten of the Representatives
spoke for and against the amendment, and in
which the Ministers took different sides, resulted
in the defeat of what the member for Lahaina
(Alr. Aholo) somewhat pathetically denominated
- the last chance . for the people. AND so ends
Lunalilo's dream of n restoration of the Consti-
tuition of 1852. On principle, this journal has
always strenuously fought for a separate House
of Representatives. True representative govern
ment cannot be had without such q House. But
by the vote of Monday the Representatives of
the people have declared that Hawaiians are not
yet ready for that advanced system of govern
ment-that they do not appreciate it's privileges
and advantages. All we can say $50 much
the worse for Hawaiians. 1t was different ten.
fifteen, twenty years ago. 1t is perhaps a rough
thing to say, but it is nevertheless true, that the
people sent ADLER men to the Legislature in
ormcr years than they do to-day. Kauwahi,
Kaumaea, the Kaauwais, father and son, and
many other able men whom we could name, now
passed away, would have eagerly improved this
8 last chance " to re-establish the peoples branch
of the Legislature. And in those DAYS too. in
the lower House it was usual to see from eight to
twelve foreigners-now there is but one, who.
were be never so atIe, is quite swamped and out
of sight amongst the display of modern, pure
Hawaiian talent. But the regret that the Repre-
are not to be left to operate by them
selves, will not be poignant. And on the whole,
it may be said that the Assembly has done the
best thing that could be done, in voting to con-
tinue as one House.
1t was not generous, nor was it doing justice
to the memory of the late King, when the Hon.
Mr.. Bishop, while excusing himself for having
his OpiniOns-a process which every

To the Editors Of the several papers in Honolulu who have
given such kindly notices of the late G. A. Castle,
1t may appear unseemly to obrrude private griefs upon the
public notice, but being prevented, by my absence from Homo
lulu, at the time of the Illness, decease, and funeral of my son,
from acknowledging the many kindesses, and the sympathy
extended to him and my family during his brief but most
painful illness, l beg on behalf Of his kindred here, and his
absent brothers and sister, and wife and children, and members
of his family, to tender to the King, for attending the funeral,
and TO the Legislature (Which adjourned for the same pur-

TO lie Eitor Of The Pdc.fc Commercial 8irertissr:
DEAR SIR-T0 accuse q man Of dishonesty is a
step Of such grave magnitude that thoughtful people
consider vel before they take it.
l can therefore only infer that the serious charge
against my recttuie Of action. 50 adroiuy made, AMI
Enthusiastically insinuatei in a letter, from the Bishop
OF Honolulu, published in your Issue Of the 2fih Of
January last, is to be accepted as the deliberate in
tentiOn Of the writer to deiame my character before
the world.
Certainly there Is no indication Of any heat Of ar
gument in what the Bishop says His remarks do
not come as the words Of Wild accusation, but as the
calm decision Of sober thought. This makes the
matter more serious.
II the Bishop really has read my communication as
an acknowledgment of "a dealing which in an elder
country would involve me in serious trouble - il was
surely not obligatory upon him TO seek to persuade
the world to believe with him that I was a dishonest
man. The elOquenee of silence would any way have
been the better part of charity.
l am not gong to waste your space by seeking to
exonerste myself from this cruel accusation. l
simply desire to say, seeing that the whole facts re-
specting the kona property were never concealed from
any one, not even the Bishop himself, during my
residence in Honolulu, it does seem inexplieable why
the accusation should have been deferred until l was
placed at the disadvantage which So many thousond
miles from my accuser brings. Can it be that " the
mild forbearance - of the Bishop stood in the way 1
am sorry if it did.
Mr.. Editor, 1 scorn the base attempt to Witty my
reputation which has been made. To try and rob q
man of his good name is a terrible thing TO do. May
1 venture TO hope that my assertion that, in the
matter of the Kona property, {" have a conscience
void of offence toward God and man will have,
among my friends, as much influence and weight as
any words of the Bishop to the contrary can possibly
have am, yours faithfully,
CHARLES GEORGE WILLIAMSON.

Mr.. EDIToR-We all know what the Hawaiian
hula is, even in its least Questionable form. Say
what we can by way of apology for it, it remains
after all, a miserable relic Of barbarism, the preserv-
alton of which and its encouragement by the chiefs
is unfavorable to the growth of pure morals among
the people. l was therefore surprised and grieved to
see on Saturday afternoon last a considerable collec-
ton of natives at the residence of Queen Dowager
Emma, and on enquiry to be told that there was a
hula going on there. Was the lady of the house at
home, and did she allow the hula I asked. "Oh,
yes, it was her hula; she sat all the time where she
could see and hear it ALL" And what sort of a hula
was it? "Oh, it was one of those old-fashioned
sort lealea maoli - Very pleasing. This testi-
mony from a native, is quite suggestive of the char
acter of the performance, which lasted into the
evening.
Now 1 would ask, is it consistent with member
ships in any Christian Church to encourage the
Hawaiian hula by being present at its performance,
much more, by setting it in operation on ones own
premises? AS I said at the beginning of this note,
1 was both surprised and grieved to find the Queen
Dowager lending herself to these things. Where are
her spiritual advisers? ST. ALBANs.

OCCASIONALLY, in one way and another, the mis-
chievous fruit appears of the wretched episode of
the barracks in September last, when a handful Of
native soldiers were allowed UNPUBLISHED to set all
authority at defiance. But for that affair as an
example of impunity for lawlessness, the riot of
February would never have occurred; and last Sat
urday the members of the government band illus
trated the feeling of contempt for authority that has
become so dangerously widespread among the
natives. by refusing in a body to play at the open
concert in Kapiolani Square. The cause assigned for
-L---~--;f~;~s I:-rIas (wharein the exnectant
public were impudently laughed at by some twenty
native youths) was said to be some accidental irreg-
ularity in the payment of wages due. Whatever
may have been the cause, the band-boys could not be
induced to play, and we are told that there was no
way Of forcing them to obey orders or of furnishing
them for disobedience, they being hired only by the
month and not enlisted like soldiers. The effect of
all successful petty rebellion against authority is
generally demoralizing. Better do away with the
band entirely, rather than that the public as well as
the authorities shall run the risk of being snubbed
by a set of i'll hammered, wrOng-headed native boys.
Since the above was written, we are glad to be
able to announce that His Majesty has ordered the
band to be discharged. This prompt action is a
gratifying proof that we have some one at the head
of affairs who appreciates the Importance of main
tanning discipline, at whatever costa principle it
may be said, that has scarcely been recognized by
the authorities since the death of Kamehameha V.
Much as we value the services of the band, we
had much rather do without them altogether than
to see them tri1e with the authorities. When next
we have a band, we hope they will be enlisted on
such terms that they may be manageable.
