I
Rep, Knudsen-It. takes more head
work, more brains, 10 be Inspector thar
TO be clerk You ought not to paw the
clerk above the deputy inspector. As q
matter OF logical reasoning you can't dc
that. l have nothing to say of these
men at ALL
Noble Widemann agreed with the
observations OF the last speaker but they
do not touch the case. In n sense the
inspector and deputy inspector were both
below the secretary. He was the mouth
piece of the Board and they both receive
their instructions through him.
Rep. kapaehaole favored passage at
$500. The duties of the secretary were
much lightened by his having two
clerks.
The item passed at 5000.
Rep. Rickard moved the House when
it rise recommend the House to recon-
slider the items for inspector and de-
putty inspector. Lost.
Assistant Clerk 5000.
Rep. Marques moved $500.
Rep. kapaehaole moved 81 900.

Passed
Support of English, Hawaiian and
Common Schools $4,000.
Minister Brown-The item in the esti-
mates OF the Beard was $4,000. 1t was
| cut down without consolidating them TO
| $4,000 which is not sufficient TO pay
salaries. move it pass at $l90, 900.
Minister Cummins moved 500, 900.
! Rep. Waipuilani moved reference TO a
select committee OF nine members.
Noble Crabbe wanted to know the
reason for referring TO select commit
| tee.
Minister Brown-All possible Informal
| ton has already Teen submitted to the
! House in the printed answers to ques-
/ tions.
Rep Rickard favored 100000 with
the understanding that deserving Ha-
waiian teachers be paid better salaries.
Rep. Marques favored the item on
condition that help be given TO the Cath
Ollie schools.
Noble Isenberg thought independent
schools were supported out OF this item.
| The Board has always assisted indepen-
dent schools, but only those which the
| Government inspector has 3 right to 20
| 10 and examine.
Rep. MarqueS-On behalf of my con-
stituents move that we have informa-
| ton as to what sum will be given the
| Catholic schools
Noble Isenberg = The Government
| schools have nothing 10 do with religion.
| II 100000 are appropriated there will
| perhaps be enough for st. Louis College.
Rep Il. Wilcox would have been in
favor OF the item OF 100000, but he sees
great deal OF discrimination against
native Hawaiians who are paid $40 per
| month while foreign teachers get 500.
| For this reason the speaker could not
| favor putting so large sum of money
| into the hands OF the Board to be used
| in such way.
Noble Isenberg-There were not teach
ers enough in this country to teach Eng
| lish when English began to be the Ian
| guage OF the schools. The Board had to
90 abroad and they had to pay higher.
| When the teachers came they had no
houses, nowhere to live. The Hawaiians
| had homes OF their own. l have been
| school agent for ten years anu l have
only known one good Hawaiian teacher.
He was as good as any foreigner and is
| now Police Justice. 1t is agreed that
| the Board shall as far as possible use
| HawaiIans only. | think the time will
| come when We can get along with Hawaii
ans only. But the time is not yet. would
! De willing to see the item passed at
| $3.50, 900, and think no teacher should
| be paid less than 81 day no matter If
| his school was little bit OF one. But
| If We 90 to lowering the salaries OF for
eign teachers a great many will leave
| and don't know what We shall do. But
We must leave these thinLs to the
| Board. If We attempt to NEEDLE with
| them We shall never make a success
| OF it.
| Rep. BroWn-Ten years ago | don't
/ believe there were more than four or
five schools supported by the Govern
ment In the last year there has been
wide demand Tor English schools 10 take
the place OF Hawaiian. The great in
| crease came since 1884. There were then
very few who could teach English to Ha-
waiians Those Hawaiians who could
teach were employed and are still. The
| time has not come when We can get Ha
Eaiians 10 do ali the teaching but |
| think it viii come. If We want to civilize
/ the country We must do it through edu
| cation. That Is what places nations at
| the head OF the world. Ii has been said
that Hawaiians are paid badly. 1t is
not treating the Board right TO say So
| It has not beer possible to get foreign
teachers for the same price. 1t is only
n response to the native demand for
English schools that these foreigners
have been brought here. L was born
here, and l could live on poi, fish and
salmon, if | mad to But foreigners
can't. | believe in paying every man
! Just what he is worth no matter whether
ne is foreign or native. L shall support
the motion to pass at 500, 600.
Rep. Marques = No money is better
spent than that which goes to the Bureau
| Of Public instruction. Out Of every 10
children who 90 to school, two 20 to the
Catholic schools. On this basis, the
Catholic schools ought to receive $50, 900
out Of this 500, 900. Ii | support the
item Of 10000, L shall move that $751;
900 Of the same go TO the Catholic
schools
Noble Widemann-When l came here
there vas no English school except the
Royal. 1t was to keep the natives from
