REPORT OF EDUCATION COMMITTEE.
Hon. Mr.. Bishop, from the Committee
on Education, presented the following re-
port:
Hon. J. S. Walker, President Legislative
Assembly-Sir: The Committee on Educa-
ton, to whom was referred an Act "to
provide for the appointment of Hawaiian
youths in the Bureau of the Government"
introduced by the Hon. Jesse Amara,
have considered the said Act and report as
follows: The work now being done in the
Bureau of Surveying is important and
often difficult, requiring the greatest care
and exactitude, III which inexperienced
young men could not be entrusted to take
part. The Surveyor General and his as
sistants could not give their time to in
structing youths without detriment to the
work which is now pressing upon them,
and unemployed young men i'll such an
office would be an annoyance to those who
might be at work, and their idleness would
be damaging to themselves. The Surveyor
General is quite disposed to employ home
talent in preference to sending abroad for
strangers of whose qualifications and fit
he nd = fho rs1ht
kind of young Hawaiiars can be found to
work in the Office or in the field, no doubt
he will give them chance, and no special
law is required to authorize him or the
Minister of the Interior to do so. Young
men who wish to become frSt-class sur
veyorS should not only learn the higher
mathematics in school, but should there
study surveying also, and then if they are
ambitious and conscientious they will be
secure of employment. Believing the
proposed Act to be impracticable and I'M
necessary, we recommend the Assembly
to lay it upon the table.

Mr.. Brown moved the report be laid on

few minutes ago, and he could not agree
