NOTICE OF QUESTION.

Members of the Legislature have
a perfect right to question Ministers
respecting ministerial acts and doings,
and Ministers have no right to with
hold from the Legislature informa-
tion of public nature, unless state
reasons can be assigned for so doing.
But common-sense and common
courtesy allow Ministers certain
rights in the matter, of which the
rules of the house seem to take no
cognizance. That is, it is unreason-
able to expect Ministers to answer
all questions offhand, without suffi-
cient time being allowed for prepar-
alton, and it would be discourteous
to insist upon an immediate reply at
all times. The custom prevailing
in our Legislature of requiring an
anwer at once, or when the Minister
desires it, granting him an indefinite
period of time to bring in his reply,
is not altogether satisfactory. The
information supplied hastily is often
incomplete, and the allowing of inde-
finite time may result in the matter
being forgotten or the question
shirked. The custom of the English
Parliament is, for the member to
give at least days notice of his
intended question. The notice is
publicly announced in the house by
the questioning member, it is placed
on record by the clerk, and a written
notification thereof furnished by
him to the Minister. The question
is put by the member at the time
announced, and the Minister is pre-
pared with his answer. The adop-
ton of this English Parliamentary
custom by the Hawaiian Legislature
would be a decided improvement in
the latter's method of procedure.
The Daily bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Hawaii]) 1882-1895, 1886-06-15
THE TEACHERS PETITION.

There is, in our opinion, no suffi-
cient reason why the pay of school
teachers should be apportioned by
the Legislative Assembly, as petit
toned for by teachers yesterday,
instead of by the Board of Educa-
ton, as at present. The apportion-
ing of police pay by last session was
a dabbling in minutie that is not
proper part of the Legislative func-
ton, but should be regulated by the
heads of the department. The
teachers who sent in that petition
are now seeking further innova-
ton in the same direction. The
educational interests of the country
are entrusted to the care and direc-
ton of Board, and that is the
proper body to fix as well as pay
the salaries of teachers, besides
being the best qualified by its
special knowledge of the duties and
responsibilities of teachers to APP
portion their pay intelligently and
fairly. What advantage is to be
gained by taking this work out of
the hands of the body to which it
properly belongs and which is best
fitted to perform it wisely and
justly, and placing it in the hands
of body to which it does not pro-
perly belong and which has no
special qualification for its perform
ance? If teachers feel themselves
insufficiently paid, or consider their
salaries unfairly apportioned, let
them place their grievance fully
and clearly before the Board of
Education, and we have no doubt
their representations will receive the
attention they merit. Some teach
ers may be inadequately paid for
their work, while others are re-
numerated above their deserts. II
80, the injured parties have just
grounds of dissatisfaction but il
will be time enough to appeal to the
Legislature when they have pre-
sented their case to the Board OF
Education and have been refused
redress. A practice is coming into
vogue in our domestic polity OF
going behind regularly constituted
authority, which for the sake of law
and order should be repressed.
