discussion.
representative Dickey moved that
caused the two items be united in
one. and the amount be made SI50,000.

q. peared that one-qUarter of the children
between 6 and Is years Of age did not
attend school The compulsory attendance
law should be enforced. and then. when
more children attended, more money will
be needed
The Minister Of Foreign Affairs agreed.
bu1 doubted II the country could afford the
increase proposed. Direct support was
now being given 10 the cause Of Educa-
ti0n 10 the amount Of nearly $4,000 In
view Of the states Of the finances, he was
not III favor of the increase.
Hon. C. r. Bishop did not understand

items There was no disadvantage IN
keeping them separate, as information

for that purpose. Nearly 5000 Of that
sum had not been expended. Hawaii was
spending more for schools in proportion

furnished by the Government there was
nothing to guide There was a disinge-

would not be tolerated in any other coun-
try. 1t seemed to the speaker that the
item in the bill was an exceedingly liberal
allowance. and he moved it pass.
Representative Castle amended, that the
two items be referred to a select commit
tee He did not believe IN leaving too
much discretion to the Ministers. There
were number Of appropriations asked
for private schools by resolution, which
\. deserved 10 be considered. Besides the
1iiilo Boys Boarding School and the Ia

was asked. St Louis College, the English
