going out into the world unable to read

and write.
There are in this country eighteen
million children and youths, who in ten
wears will be the nation. About eleven
millions Of these are enrolled in private
and public schools; but six millions only
constitute the average attendance, while
seven millions are growing in absolute
ignorance of the English alphabet. The
number of people over q years of age
who some years ago could not write was
1900, 900, of whom 2, 056, 900 were whites.
In commenting upon these incredible fig
ures. Senator Blair remarked: Before
another census we shall have passed the
line, and there will be more children in
this country out of the schools than in
them; and before half century is over,
ignorance and its consequences will un-
questionably have Overthrown the Re-
public"
In spite Of this well.grounded warning
Congress has to this day obstinately re-
fused to pass a general education bill.
Senator Beck, in opposing the principle
of government interference, said: "This
is not paternal government. l believe
that whenever we impose taxes, even for
education in the States, we are encour'
aging extravaganza, fostering corrup-
ton, and mpairing the manhood, virtue
and Independence of the people"
Some ingenious sophists have even
gone further than Mr.. Beck, and denied
the State itself the right of taxation for
the support of any school whatever
Fortunately, we have come to an age
when, upon moral and political grounds,
public education is a recognized func-
ton of government, This principle, es-
sentally socialistc as it is, has been
everywhere granted, although a few
countries only have carried it to its first
logical conclusion the compulsory &C.
quiremeut of primary knowledge.
Whenever Capitalization prevails there
seems to be no other obstacle to the en-
actment of compulsory laws against
ignorance than the difficulty of enforc'
ing them because of individual or public
poverty.
In this country the same difficulty
does not exist, for the nation is ricl
enough to provide any means required
for the education of the poorest. Blu
there are men like Senator Beck, wht
claim state Rights and "Individua
Liberty in the support of ignorance
To such men we reply: There are ne
rights without duties; and where is thu
duty corresponding to the individual
right of father to raise his child il
ignorance, or to the collective right of
State to keep its citizens in intellectual
dsrknessY
Human knowledge is public property
unlike any other kind of property, how
ever, in this respect, that its value
when distributed, is multiplied by TIN
- exact number of those among whom
= is distributed. Upon economic grounds
therefore, as well as upon the mora
- and political ones which have hereto
fore been exclusively taken, the distri
button of human knowledge is a publ
duty corresponding to the right of eac
" citizen in the public domain This dut
may be assigned to the city, create
than the citizen; or to the State, create
than the city; but the nation, create
~ than all. is bound to see that "the RICH
of the child" is preserved.

No. 1884.
While the en.ctments in the Ordinance Of
7th March 1863 anl the publications Of 25th
September and 18th October 1868, concerning
the enrolment of men for service in the Brand
Companies are not observed in st. Croix,
those enactmentS have in St. Thomas been
follow ed and are now in practice being follow
ed with satisfactory results and the Govern
man5 intends therefore also to take steps to
have those enactments followed also here,
whereby a more effective service may be OBJ
tanned.
The Government would at the same time
not fail to state on this occasion, that it IS not
the Governments intention to dispense with
the services OF. q small staff of men on fixed
paw, besides the number of men taken by en-
rolment.
The Government would also notify, that
according to reports received from the Brand
Companies in both towns, there are many
properties which are without the prescribed
Implements for use at fires and in the few IN
stances where such implements are found,
they are very defective.
Referring to the foregoing, the Government
would now therefore officially request the Co.
lonial Council in it's next ordinary Meeting to
elect a member for each town to JOIN the Com
mission mentioned in the Publication OF 10th
September 1868 3 for the enrolment OF men
for the Brand Companies, and also for the
Commission, mentioned in the Governments
Placards of 18th October 1877, and 21st Janu-

NO TRUTH IN IT.

The San Francisco Post" of De-
cember "a. 1888, published an arti-
Gle headed "A rumpus at Homo
lulu" We reproduced the article
in the columns of the BULLETIN on
the llth instant, as "a sample of
how Honolulu occurrences are some
times misrepresented or exaggerat-
ed by the foreign press" We sup
posed that the fuctS in connection
with the circumstance alluded to-
that is, the removal of the Tramways
Company's rails from the Waikiki
bridge by the Governmcnt-were so
well known TO our readers that they
would smile cOntemptuuusly at the
"Post's" distortion of the truth,
and that would end the matter. But
it would appear that the "Post"
statement of the affair was tele-
graphed to London as authentic,
where it was naturally received as
such; and Il telegram in the New
Zealand "Herald" of December 81 8,
dated at London, December 20, ap-
parently referring TO the same mat
ter, says, cit is reported that the
Minister of the Interior of the Ha-
waii Islands, in the Sandwich group,
has acted in an insulting manner
to the representative of Great Bri-
tain, and that the dispute has been
referred to the Imperial Govern
ment."
In view of the false impression
created abroad by the POSTS
false statements, we regard it as a
duty to make positive denial of all
that that paper has said in relation
to squabble between Mr.. Hebbard
Road Supervisor, and Major Wode.
house, British Commissioner. No.
thing of the kind ever occurred, the
story being a pure fabrication. This
denial is made on the authority of
Mr.. Hebbard.

AFTER MANY DAYS.

EDITOR BULLETIN: After many
days the "P. c. A." rises to de-
fend the Board of Health in the
appointment of DR.. Tucker to the
medical management of the Asy-
lum, but does not try to meet my
argument in straight forward man
ner.
What / tried to make clear in as
gentle way as l could, was that
the board had appointed three gen
tlemen as government physicians in
Honolulu, who while they are good
enough citizens and all that, yet as
as medical men they were consider
ed competent by only a small minor
ity of the community.
The small practice they had and
the eagerness with which some of
them fished for some government
pap" after the revolution, together
with the evident change for the bet
ter since then in their fortunes,
clearly show was right.
Now Mr.. Editor, let me ask the
readers of your paper plain ques-
ton. If they were so unfortunate
as to have member of their fami-
lies or friend sent by the Court to
the Insane Asylum here, would they
rest content, thinking that every
thing in reason that mcdicol science
could do, was being done by DR..
Tucker to restore TO reason that
friend OF relative? / think the
answer of big majority of the
readers of the BULLETIN and the
community at large would be, no.
am willing to give DIR. Tucker
all due credit for keeping the house
clean and the yard in good shape
(and wish his duties ended here
and will go even further, and add,
when he drives down Fort street he
looks well, though tritle grave and he
holds the "ribbons" in very lady,
like manner, as il were, but that
don't in my humble opinion make
him a medical expert by any means,
| think if the Advertise" gets off
many mere such editorials DR.,
fuckers prayer will be "Save me
from my friend.," -
