Special Committee to whom was re-
ferred resolution to inaugurate the

ians in the public schools at least
once week, recommending that it
be adopted and that $1,000 be in
serted in the Appropriation Bill for
| printing suitable books In the Ha-
waiian language for this purposes.
| Noble Townsend moved to amend
the resolution by making it at least
40 days in each year, instead of once
week. He thought it interfering
too much with the management of
schools by arranging daily pro-
| gramme.
Rep. Kalaukoa moved to take up
the resolution for consideration.
Noble Smith was in favor of the
motion of Rep. Kalaukoa with an
amendment, that the resolution be
printed and made an order of the
day. He thought that it was not
necessary TO state that the subject
of leprosy should be taught, but
that it could be differently worded so
that it would not advertise our ma
tional disease.
Noble Smiths motion carried.

gard to the petition from Kawelo,
Hilo, for $500 for land taken by the
Government for a road. Mr.. j. NJ.

would-be lawyer of that place, and

lature will take no notice of such
