die from want of use than from
wearing out. He believed the tea /
chers of Honolulu were much iu
want of mental exertion. Their
hours are easy, from to 2, with
half an hour or an hour for lunch.
Anyone could stand the strain for
that time.
Minister Gibson was not opposed
to this bill, but decidedly in favor
of making education as free as pos
sible to all children. He was not
going to say one word in opposition,
but merely say few words about
the teachers. He was satisfied that
they had some excellent teachers
with excellent methods. During the
last examinations, gentleman from
abroad identified with education,
visited the schools, and said the re-
suit was excellent and would be
considered so in England. From
other sources the schools had re-
ceived praise. 1t was very easy in
cities in the States with large pop
ulation to have fifty or sixty pupils
in a class, and it was easy TO grade
them. But here, with small pou-
ulation, it was different, and they
were doing well with from twenty
to thirty. He was satisfied from
observations made abroad, that they
had nothing to learn, that was if
everything was well carried out. 1t
was quite a strain on the nervous
system to teach in this climate.
What with the warm climate and
other circumstances he did not think
the same exacttude of service
should be expected here as in the
large cities, like Boston and San
Francisco. This country had good
class of teachers and was getting
full benefit.
Rep. Palohau spoke in Hawaiian
in favor of the bill.
Rep. Hayselden was in favor of
free education. There is law COM

their education. He hoped the bill
would pass.
