were for lawyers fees, but with an
Attorney-General and Deputy
there would be nothing to pay on
that score
Mr.. Kanealii withdrew his amend
ment and the item passed at
$4,000.
Items for the Department of
Education were next taken up.
Salary of lnspector-General of
Schools, $4,000. Passed.
Travelling Expenses of Inspector
General, $1,000. Passed
Salary Clerk Board of Education,
$4,000. Passed.
support of Hawaiian and English
Schools, $4,000.
Minister Gibson spoke in terms of
qualification at the improvement of
Hawaiian Schools. Several English
Schools had been established, and
there were denominational schools
that il would be proper to assist.
While economy was the watchword,
yet, if the House thought proper,
he thought larger sum might be
devoted to the cause of education.
He, therefore, moved the item be
raised to 500, 900.
Mr.. Bishop said he had been over
the estimates and accounts in the
Education Office. He found that to
carry on schools already established
and to build some school houses
that are absolutely necessary, and
for teachers in those places, and to
increase salaries slightly to some of
| the older teachers. would take
probably 800, 900. 1t had always
been found in the past that there
were always some schools needed
and school-houses to be erected in
places not foreseen. New people
were constantly coming in, such as
the Portuguese, with large families,
making new centres of population
to be provided with schools, and
they expected to have the japanese.
The Government promises to these
| Portuguese education for their chill
| dren, and the only suitable educa-
tionis in the English language. This
was large amount to ask for, but,
really, if the schools were to be
kept up TO their standard nearly the
whole of it would be required. He
hoped 100000 would be adopted.
Mr.. Rowell moved the word cha
waiian" be struch out. Owing to
the number of foreigners coming in
the schools would cease to be
Hawaiian.
Mr. Bishop said it was still neces-
sary to keep up Hawaiian schools.
Mr., Rowell then changed his
amendment, to combine this item
and that for Support of Common
Schools, 100000, and say S11O, 900
for both.
Mr.. Kalua moved to insert 81 900
for Makawao Seminary.
Mr.. Dole said similar appropria-
ton had been made last session but
not expended.
Mr.. Bishop explained that the
Board had given nearly that amount
to building for the institution
before the appropriation was made.
The motion passed.
Mr.. Kaulukou moved to insert an
item of $4,000 for increasing the
accommodation of st. Louis College.
President Rhodes spoke warmly
in favor of the proposal, saying the
institution was to his own knowledge
doing excellent work. The Christian
Brothers had been compelled to
organize some classes under the trees
for want of accommodation Those
gentleman were well educated and
accomplished teachers.
Mr.. Isenberg had heard that it
was n new house that was wanted.
As a large number of children at
tended that college, he did not see
that it was not right to aid it. If the
school was not built by the Mission
the Government would have to
build it.
Mr.. Bishop said the building
needed would cost ten thousand
dollars. Already about $50, 900 had
