The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1890-08-30

Rep. Wsipuilani favored passage of
the bill. The old law had been good
one. 1t prevented desertion. Now a
woman takes advantage OF any little
thing and leaves her husband, and he is
without remedy.
Rep kapaehaole- The law which
this seeks TO repeal has come 10 be re-
garded as the blot on the Legislature of
1883, one OF the worst laws which they
passed. A great many Hawaiian fami-
hes have been broken up as a conse
quence of the present law.
Rep. Nawahi after speaking moved the
previous question. Carried. The ayes
and noes were called.
Noble Widemann-As / look at il, il

The House proceeded to consider the
item for education of Hawaiian youths
| abroad. The committee report was read.
Noble Widemann moved it pass at
5000, with the proviso that the youths
be recommended by the principals of the
schools
| Rep. White favored $4,000.
| Noble j NJ. Horner was not in SYM
pathy with the item at all Let us spend
the $40, 900 on schools here, and a great
many more will get the benefit of them
LII our schools here are not good enough
we can make them better If you put
this money into normal school, it will
he of some use. But what good has the
Government ever got from sending any
| body abroad? Our home schools do
some good. Witness our worthy secre-
tary. Calls OF, he has been abroad. }
We want to educate our school teachers
here, not to send them abroad.
Noble Widemann explained that the
object was not to make school teachers,
but to give promising pupils wider oppor-
tunities than our schools can afford. 1t
is necessary that there should be no
partiality in the selection.
Noble }. nj. Horner wanted to know
what the poor fellows who were not SC
bright were to do. Shouldn't they have
Government help too?
Rep. Brown favored the item, and he
thought Noble Widemann's proviso that
| they should be recommended by the
principal of the school a good one. The
speaker referred to the case of Harry
CRUDE Marchant, now studying engrav.
ing in Boston as a case where Govern.
ment assistance had been wisely rem.
dered.
Rep. R.W. Wilcox moved it be SIS 900
Rep. Kauhane said the Legislature
has always been willing to appropriate
money for the purpose, but the difficulty
has been with the way in which the
choice has been made. There ought to
be some law fixing the way in which the
choice is made.
The item passed at 1000, with the
proviso offered by Noble Widemann.
Rep. Bush moved the House rise and
report progress. Carried.
The report was adopted.
After notice OF meetings had been
given, the House adjourned at :O5 till
| Monday
