THE LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY.
Sixtieth Day.
THURSDAY, Aug. q


Noble Mccarthy under suspension OF
rules presents petition with 1917 sigma
lures from Honolulu asking that the |
railroad bill pass. Referred TO Railroad |
Committee
Noble Muller for the Committee on |
Commerce recommend, l. That the |
item for a subsidy to steamship line |
to San Diego be referred to the commit
tee on that question. Adopted; 2. The
committee report in regard to the item
for the paradise of the Pacific" that
although they believe wider circulation
of this publication would be useful, yet
cannot see any sufficient reason for its
being undertaken by the Government.
Rep Knudsen moved the report be
laid on tie table to be considered with
the BILL Carried.
Noble Macfarlane stated that while he
would make no minority report, he yet
thought it would be good to pass an item
and leave it to the discretion of the Min
istry.
Noble Muller reports for the same COM
mittee recommending that the bill on
commercial travellers pass with certain
amendments. Report was adopted.
Rep. Brown moved the bill pass to
engrossment.
Noble Crabbe. as the introducer of the
bill, would say that the subject had been
considered for years. The law of 1882
was failure. So the law of 1888. All
a traveller had to do to evade the law
was to take orders but not deliver any
thing. For this reason have brought
in law covering the whole ground. l
move the bill be referred to the Judiciary
Committee.
The President ruled (on point of
order raised by Rep. BROWN that the
only motion in order was to pass to en-
grossment. That motion passed.
Noble Isenberg presented reports OF
the education committee upon various
matters referred to them as follows:
On resolution of Rep. Richard, that
dwelling house be erected for the teacher
at Kawaihae, recommending that $500
be granted for the purpose. Adopted.
A separate report on the following
subjects:
l. On petitions for English schools at
Waialua and Kamalo, Molokai, recon-
mending that they be laid on the table,
as good schools are in the vicinity at
Halawa and Kaluaaha.
2. On petitions that independent
schools be paid for in like manner as
hot h,
appropriated for them, recommending
that they be laid on the table, as inde
pendent schools cannot be regarded as
being on an equality with Government
schools. Committee recommend, how
ever, that all independent schools to
which the Inspector-G General of Schools
has access and is allowed to examine
should have assistance from the Board
of Education, to whose judgment should
always be left the amount of such assist
ance.
8. On petition that an English school
be established at Kahanalea, Puma, Ha-
wall, recommending that it be laid on
the table, as good school is at Makala-
pana near by.
A. On petition that girls school be
erected at Lahaina, recommending that
it be laid on the table, as it is beyond
the control of the Board of Education to
establish school for girls only.
5. On petition that Catholic teachers
be appointed to teach Catholic children,
recommending that it be laid on the
table, as in the Government schools un-
der the care and supervision of the Board
of Education no difference to religious
denominations is made or known, since
no religion is taught.
6. On petition that the pay of teachers
be increased, recommending, as the pay
of teachers depends on the supply and
demand of teachers, that this be left to
| the judgment of the Board of Education.
However, the committee desires to re-
commend and bring to the notice of the
| Board that no teacher should be paid less
than one dollar day.
T. On petition that an English school
be erected at Waiehu, Maui, recommend
ing that it be laid on the table, as good
schools are in the vicinity at Waikiki
and Waihee.
8. On petition that $500 be appropri-
ated for the Catholic school at Halawa,
on petition that $500 be appropriated
for the female seminary at KOhala, ON
petition that $4,000 be appropriated for
St. Louis College, on petition that $4,000
be appropriated for st. Mary's School at
Hilo, recommending that they be laid
on the table to be considered with the
Appropriation Bill.
8. On petition that permission be given
to clergymen to give instruction to school
children, recommending that it be laid
on the table, as by law clergymen can
| give instructions to school children after
school hours.

Reps. Apiki and Kahookano, who had
some objections to some of the report.
| would report separately.
| Rep. Kahookano presented minority
report of the Education Committee
| recommending: l. That an English
school be established at Waialua as the
| Government owns a suitable site and
there are about thirty-three children for
such school and it is long distance to
the nearest Government schools, too far
| for the children. 2. That an English
school be established at Waiehu, Maui
as the Government owns school lot
and there are nearly hundred children.
8. As to the pay of school teachers, the
minority of the committee think it
| should be carefully considered and that
teachers should be paid according to
their ability and the results of their
work. Otherwise the minority agree
with the majority of the committee.

to be considered with the item in the
Appropriation Bill
