solemnly to render true verdict accord

taking into consideration any other

opinion from what he hears in the Court,

he is bound to hold himself uninhuenced

Punahou Examinations.

EDITOR SATURDAY PREss In my contribution
to your journal Of July 10th, thought my ideas
were clearly and frankly put forward on the sub
lect treated yet it turns out that have been mis-
represented by the Editor of the Gasefte. In re-
ply to his first statement "as rule the questions
seemed to us to be fairly put" II would require
the person occupying the position of teacher and
examiner, TO say whether the questions re,e fairly
put; l could not presume to decide but the Editor
of tho Gasetie apparently can.
Second statement" Examiners had perfect
freedom to ask questions, and used their freedom
upon many OF the casses." Well, who said they
had not search my letter, you will not find
denial of 1t there My structures were not In
tended to reach the individual teacher, but were
aimed at the system by which teachers were en-
abled to hide the defects, in the education of
their pupils.
am sorry TO learn from the Editor of tho
Gazette, that "those who conduct the educational
establishment of PuDahou, are obliged by iradi-
tion and CUSTOM" to hold TO any SO defective a
system of education. Had the same argument
held good with the aborigines of these Islands,
their DESCENDANTS would not noa be enjoying the
blessings OF Christianity and its attendant ciyli-
zation, rs their traditions and customs certainly
pointed to continuance of the worship of their
heathen deties.
agree with the Editor of the Gazette, ON the
superiority and fairness of written examinations
over oral when feasible, they Of the greatest
possible benefit to the pupil but if We cannot
have them let Us at least have the best system of
oral examinations possible.
In conclusion, would add that the Editor of
the Go<ehs could employ his pen to greater ad-
vantage, by suggesting improvements in the pre-
sent system of education at Punahou than in at
tempting to foil my objects by writing reply, in
such shape an To cover the defects pointed out
