more effectually placed in the In

trolled the funds. He gave reasons
in certain transactions of the late
period. The bill as a whole was a
plendid one. Carried.
The bill as amended passed.
Third reading Of bill relating to
compulsory school age.
Rep. Brown moved that the bill
pass.
Rep. Kanealii moved that it be
indefinitely postponed.
Noble Macfarlane thought some
reason should be given for indefinite
postponement. He was opposed to
the bill at first, hut had come to the
belief that it was good bill. 1t
provided that children who arrived
at certain standard could be re-
leased from school to aid their
parents with their labor.
Noble Muller was in favor of in
definite postponement. For the
sake of letting few Portuguese
children out to work on the planta-
tions, they should not allow Hawai-
ian youth to grow up as loafers
about the streets smoking cigar
cites.
Rep. Paehaole said the bill had no
right to be before the House, as a
similar bill had been indefinitely
postponed.
Noble Macfarlane in reply to the
point of order said this was rather
a substitute bill for the other, the
same as the hon. members own bill
on the tramways. He did not see
that the objections of the hon. No
BILE were sound, as the bill provided
that the child must pass satlsfac-
tory test examination.
Noble Widemann considered this
very mild bill, as compared with
others on the subject introduced
formerly. 1t was not the children
out Of school who were hoodlums,
| but children who were attending the
schools.
|. Noble Baldwin held that the
beauty of this bill was that it set a
stimulus to the child to reach com
mon school standard. At present a
child might get at the end of the
course before reaching the age, and
stay in school the full period with
out learning anything more. He
understood there was similar law
in Australia.
The bill passed.
Third reading of bill to authorize
the introduction of Chinese for agri-
cultural labor.
| Noble Widemann said he did not
like the bill, some parts of it were
entirely repugnant to him. Still, as
they had spent several days on it,
he would move that the bill do now

paid the bond, any sum belonging
to the runaway laborer in the hands
of the Government be paid to the
obligor. He had endeavored tc
meet other parties halfway in this
bill, and had been found fault witt
by other planters for agreeing to 8
bond at all. If the bond was made
5000 they might just as well tear the
bill up, and if the amendment to
that effect carried he would move
indefinite postpOnement.
Noble mcfarland was willing tt
meet the planters so far as could b,
expected from his side. He had ia
vored all the restrictions. BY the
bill the planter would have the adj
vantage of cheap labor TO the point
of probably SIS a month. A planter
