Gently wrote to that paper as sfollows !:
1--WE noticed, in your issue Of the

out the least intention Of claiming
any feathers from the caps of those

differ with you. We have been a
constant reader for the iast three
years of over three fourtbs of the

ent, unless a Legislature shall so d.
rect. In the constitution of 1868.
Cart. 1879 it is expressly provided:
"He shall have the supervision and
control Of all public schools throughout
the State"
Says the new constitution:
ellis duties shall be prescribed by

This vague provision renders the
State Superintendent subject to the
caprice, intelligence, mercy or malice
of every succeeding Legislature.
That officer may be a director, in fact
or i'll name, Of the school system, lust
as may be determined for the time
being. In other words, the schoo,
system may be headless or not. as
its friends may be ip or out of power.
To those familiar with the habitual
neglect and Indifference Of legislators.
even when they be professedly friends
of public education, this is not an en-.
couraging outlook.
The change Of constitutions wall in-
trodnce vague, mischieyous openings
for deadly assaults on the public
school system, in place of the seand,
clear mandates now on the statutes.
Bnt I the Dew constitution be adopt

Adams, and several of the women had
died of violence or disease. In Scptcm-
Der, 1Sli, an English vessel called the
Britain stopped at the island, and found
Adams still alive and commanding the
respect and admiration of tho whole
little colony by his exemplary conduct
and fatherly care of them. Solitude had
wrought powerful change in Adams,
and his desire to instill into the young
minds of the descendants of his old COM
panions, who, like himself, had taken
wives from among the Tahitian women,
q correct sense of religion, was crowned
with complete success. According to
the statement of the captain of the Bri-
taid, more yirtuous, amiablc, and re-
ligious community than these islanders
have never been seen. They were also
visited by other English vessels, and the
reports concerning them fully corrobo-
rated the first accounts.
In 1850 the colony consisted of eighty
seven persons, when n long drought,
together with u bad season for their
plantations, gave rise to fears that they
might be overtaken 10y famine. 1t had
long been a matter of grave consldera-
ton that, as their numbers increased,
the want of water should be severely
felt, and in consequence a proposal was
made to the islanders by the English
government to remove them to Tahiti.
This proposal was submitted in due
course to Queen Pomare, who seconded
it with great zeal, and agreed to receive
