to the vdy difficult task of acquir-
ing English.
In a Report made for the Board of
Education in 1886, I wrote the fol-
lowing:
"With one or two hours per week,
a Hawaiian boy or girl will soon
learn to read and write the native
language. 1t is entirely feasible in
all the larger schools, in which, at
present, English only is taught, to
have competent Hawaiian instruc-
tor take this much time for the pur-
pose of giving instruction in the
Hawaiian language, to Hawaiian
children only"
Hawaiian children speak Hawai-
ian of course, and having a colo
quial knowledge of it, after they
learn some English, it would take
but short time to gain a knowledge
of the written language.
must be allowed to differ from
DR.. Hyde when he says, ''they are
growing up without the rudiments
of mathematics, geography, gram
mar, history, and physical science.
In a somewhat extensive expert
ence in Hawaiian schools, in both
the English and the native ones, 1
am prepared to say that the knowl-
edge of the rudiments of these
branches possessed by those pupils
in the English schools is far superior
to that of those in the native schools.
Further, from evidence l have
seen, l am clearly of the opinion
that the Hawaiian youth of like
age never have been so well ad-
vanced in elementary knowledge
never so well taught, as they are
to-day. Not from what | have seen
only do I Judge; but from testimony
of those high in authority, and from
those competent in both judgment
and Hawaiian scholarship to be
heard.
There is no similarity between
Japan and this country. The Japan
csc are supplementing their own
language and civilization by addi
tions, not substituting as in Hawaii.
The japanese never intended that
English or any other language than
japanese should be the medium of
instruction. It was simply tenn
porary. They have fixed a scientific
Technology to their own language,
and it is now used as the medium OF
instruction in all branches Their
language is sufficient-with litera-
ture on morals, history and juris-
prudence far older than that in
English.
Finally, as to the Hawaiians "de-
veloping a social activity in such
fashion as may best suit their ma
tional peculiarities," l have little
confidence. The time for that has
gone by Right or wrong, we have,
been and are moulding them to our
fashion, and to that they must con-
form or-it is a hard word die.

4 Desideratum.

Mr. EDITOR: There is a subject to
which public attention should be
directed it is the preserving of a
record of events IN each town and
large village of the Kingdom. The
old years pass by and old residents
die, or move to other parts, and in
formation relating to the history of
the place is lost. If a record of the
events OF general interest to the
community were preserved it would
not only be interesting to those who
come after, but oftentimes of real
value.
This is d new country, and changes
have occurred rapidly. In some in
stances the transitions have been so
great that the busy town of to-day
bears very little resemblance to the
quiet village Of twenty years ago.
Men and families become identified
with the progress and growth of
community and after a few years
move away, and those who follow
them know little, if anything, of them
or of their agency in developing the
place.
The newspapers contain valuable
information Chiefly of a general
nature and of matters pertaining to
Honolulu), but much which is of
peculiar interest to local communi-
ties is not published. We have no
town clerks, and there is not the
necessity for keeping such records as
are kept by municipal organizations;
and the objection may be raised that
persons cannot be found who will
keep the records here proposed But
if the attempt were made it is pro
bable that a person would be found
who would devote the time, and take
the trouble to record the events of
interest and that as one discon-
tinued the work another would take
it up.
It is not too much to believe that
after the plan was suggested and
each community would
its own recorder or historian,
and, perhaps, through committee
Of the residents, direct the kind of
history to be preserved.

crush out or drive out any opposing
element. We have found way in
these islands to live with the Ha-
waiians, while neither tyrannizing
over them nor servilely yielding to
them. Can we not deal as justly, as
manfully, as successfully with the
Chinese element of our miscellaneous
population The first step, it would
seem, should be political and social
recognition. They are here and
they are here to stay. Why should
they be here merely on suferance,
with no treaty made with the
Chinese Government, no legally de-
fined right and privileges such as
we accord to the most favored nation?
The policy of excluding the Chi
nese, and letting in about as many
as will furnish the laborers needed
for our plantations, is just as incon-
sistent as prohibitory legislation
against the liquor traffic, while every
official winks at the liquor selling
and drunkard making going on be-
fore his nose and eyes. Tell the
Chinese Government frankly that
we do not want such numbers of
Chinese to come here as would en-
danger our political and industrial
system; and ask that Government to
join us in such regulations as shall
The Hawaiian gazette., 1889-01-08

Mr.. EDITOR: The question of the
exclusion of the Chinese, OF restric-
tive measures continuing them to GER
tain numbers and to definite lines OF
work, is question that must be de-
cided, not by sentimental considera-
tons, nor by theoretical propositions,
but by the stern necessities and the
actual experiences of our social life.
The world is open to all wayfarers
now, as never before The Chinese
wall of exclusiveness can never be
rebuilt. The total prohibition Of
any department of human activity to
any class OF race of men is also a
thing of the past. But it is also
evident that legislation, or the want
of it, may result in giving opportun,
ity for the subversal of those institu-
tons, whose support is one great
object in all legislation. We have
allowed the traffic in Intoxicating
drinks to go on unchecked till now
its growth threatens to throttle
home life and paralyse all industry.
We have allowed corporations, them
selves the creatures of our laws, to
multiply and combine, till govern
ment itself is almost under their feet,
and huge monopolies wiring from the
necessaries of life a tribute to add
still more to the spoils they have
won in the unequal contest of capital
and labor.
When one feels the prick or the
yoke of these social monstrosities, it
is easy to ne denunciatory, and there
is seeming relief in freeing ones
mind. But the practical question is,
What are you going to do about it?
What is the wise thing, as we'll as
the feasible thing, that is, the best
thing to do, and to be done now? I
do not think that anyone will main
tain the proposition that the coming
of the Chinese has been an unmiti-
gated curse to these islands. We
could not have acquired great
wealth, that consummate flower of
our nineteenth century civilization,
without cheap labor. But cheap
labor, however desirable for the
planter, is not satisfactory basis
on which to build up a Christian
community. The planters have got
their Chinese and Portuguese and
Japanese, and are piling up their
But how about other
residents? Is the community, as
now forming, offering such desir-
able place of residence as one would
wish for ones children or ones
friends? Are new and desirable
residents coming to make home
among us; or are We losing every
month some people whom we wonld
like to keep as friends and neighbors?
Is there no practicable way of CO.
operation between our too widely diff
fering civilizations, the occidental
and the oriental One great
difficulty is the immobility of
the Chinese. 1t is in strik-
ing contrast with the enthusiasm
and progressiveness of the japanese.

that, indeed, is the main trouble with
them. By dint of numbers they can

Ma. EDITOR: 1t is easy to see
faults in both persons and systems.
1t is more difficult to find remedy;
s and, sometimes, the most difficult of
ali is to apply the remedy when
found.
1t would seem that there are three
courses left open for the Board of
Education to pursue, with reference
to the education of Hawaiian youth
granting that they should be edu
Gated at all.
First-Provision might be made
to educate them entirely in the Ha-
waiian language-as of old.
Second To educate them, so far
as knowledge is concerned, in Eng
lish, as the present tendency seems
to be.
Third TO instruct them partly in
Hawaiian and partly in English, the
prevailing tendency for, perhaps,
the last twenty years.
The first of these methods was
evidently found wanting, since it
was long ago abandoned by the very
fathers of Hawaiian education.
The third method seems to be
more or less failure, from the tenor
of both Mr.. Knudsen's and DIR.
Hydes letters. The second and
only method left would then. neces-
serily appear to be the correct one.

old that il has long passed unchal-

however, does not breed contempt,
On the contrary 1t engenders pee
uliar not to say morbid affection for

tiveness on Its behalf.
This is shown by the attitude OF
the electricians on the question of

cording TO the New York Sun, instead
of regarding with interest this new
field of possible usefulness for their

LIKE A DIME NOVEL.



The stabbing of her nurse bv Mrs
Robert Ray Hamilton, at Atlantic
City, has drawn out the secret of q
deep, dark plot that was laid for the
gullible, but not guileless young mil
lionaire. 1t seems that he met the
siren under the impression that she
was virtuous and unsophisticated
girl and like most young men imag.
ined he had made a powerful con.
quest when she reluctantly gYe her
self to his keeping. She knew how
rich he was and with an old lover,
whom she has since been paying
$1,000 year and about whom the
stsbbing occurred, she entered into Q
conspiracy to become mistress of his
millions. AT the proper time she
sent for Hamilton and producing a
baby, that she had bought for $40,
told him II was their child aud with
fearful entreaties sought him to save
her reputation and give the baby
name. He yielded and she has led
him a merry dance ever since, NOT
only spending his money like water,
but keeping him in hot water by her
brszen demeanor towards men. The
story reads like a novel, and is anoth-
er proof of the assertion that facts
are stranger than fiction. 1t also
shows what fools these rich mems
sons are, who inherit nothing from
their sagacious sires but their lucre
