than that they should be put into prison
with common felons.
Rep. Richard hadopposed the approp-
ration, but was now convinced that IL
ought to be passed. The objection did
not seem 10 be aimed II the amount, bat
at the present incumbent. Some one
certainly could be found who would take
proper care Of the school.
Noble Widemann - Tie school has
been inefficient. The member from
Hamakua says a good man can be found.
Why is he not there? | am not in favor
of All inefficient school. But We cannot
drop it until some better way is found.
Rep. Il. w. Wilcox had opposed the
item because very few boys were there,
| and he thought the item placed there
! only TO give place to some adherent OF
| the late ministry But ii a good man
could be obtained he would move passage
at $1,000.
Rep. Nawahi said it cost the country
thousand dollars piece to look after
dozen bad boys. He thought $1,000
enough
| Noble kauhane favored passage as in
| the bill. There may be great additions
TO the numbers in the school, and If
there are not, the money will not be
| spent. My own observation is that that
school has done great deal OF good. |
know of a great many respectable men
| who were once in that school.
Noble Widemann said the school was
not one for book learning merely: but
school of good morals and behaviour. 1t
was not voluntary with the House to do
away with the school. He would request
| Rep. Wilcox TO withdraw his motion.
| rep. Wilcox said he would do so.)
Noble Isenberg said that Sl2 900 need
not be spent because it was appropri-
ated. He was very glad the motion was
withdrawn.
Rep. Waipuilani said as Rev. r. w
| Wilcox had withdrawn his motion, he
| would move it pass at $4,000.
The item passed at Sl2 900 on rising
| vote
Rep. r. W Wilcox moved TO insert
| aid to st Louis College and its branches
$4,000. 1t was no more than right that
these independent schools should be as
sisted by the Government. He did not
make the motion because of the religious
denomination.
Noble Hind opposed the item. 1t was
an attempt to break down the public
school system. We did not want any
pries'craft. Noble Wideman-Only on
one side). None at all. We can do
without priests. | believe the children
ought to be saved from these priests.
The children should be taught some
thing which could be demonstrated. l
would rather have the islands in the
condition again when the missionaries
first came here than to have the priests
teaching in the schools. | vote against
this to save the children.

right that the independent schools
should receive some assistance. 1t made
no difference what denomination they
belong to. He would move $50, 900.
Noble Widemann-The hon. Noble
from Kohala does not like priestcraft
There are a good many more here who
do not. But this assistance is asked for
Catholic schools not priests. The priests
are supported from France. They get
miserable food, a cassock or two and a
pair of shoes. That is what thy are
living on. The theory of providing
money only for Government schools is
very we'll but in practice it means all the
money for the Professionals and nothing
for the Catholics. Hitherto nobody
dared to say this. He would have been
hooted and blackballed. That is nc
longer the case. l shall gladly vote this
100000. The table might be turned
There might be retaliation.
Rep. Waipuilan favored the item.
Noble Kauhane said no one must sup
pose that this would lessen the expenses
, of parents who would have to pa,
, as much as ever. Protestant schools
, had received more because they ha(
been longer established.
Noble j. NJ Horner said when hi
voted for $4,000 ne supposed tina
would include all that was to be paid t.
} St. Louis College as we'll as every Other
, independent school.

rule was great evil. The only way u
t suppress it is by education. If we d,
, not help them we only make 1t worse.

Y Rep. Richard rose to signify his inten

Noble J. NJ Horner moved that TIN

The item passed at 10000.
The committee then rose.
The President appointed the following
committee on the Corporation Bill: Rep
Brown, Noble Widemann, Reps. Kalu
