In less than 30 years the missionaries taught

tho scene has given both sentiment and
romance to the Hawaiian question. Kainani
is the daughter OF an Englshman, Archibald
Cleghorn. and thelate Princess 'Likelike, sister
of the Queen. Had Likelike lived she would
have been heir to- the throne On her death,
which occurred about 10 years ago. her
daughter, Kaiulani, was proclaimed heress,
and sent to England to be- educated. The
Hawaiian Government appropriated the funds
to dcfray the expenses of her eaucaiio which
il was expected would be completed with her
eighteenth birthday, next October. When the
Princess Kaiulani, therefore, appeared in Wash
ington week ago it caused flutter of genuine
interest, not because there was reason or
authority for her presence. but because she is a
beautiful young woman who wears the pretty
title of Princess. N
THE HAWAIIAN PRINCESS
Kaiulani is tall slender brunei with
regular delicately-cut features, glorious dark
eyes, and winning smile. Though English
blood has given her the rich brunei complex
ion, the Princess is far from English in personal
appearance. She is like bright, vivacious
American girl. There is about her a graceful
dignity and unmistakable evidence Of culture
and we'll bred ease. Her English education and
five years residence in England have given her
the English accent, and she has charming
manner.

! eminent Common, the Government English,
and the Independent schools The common
! schools are those in which the Hawaiian lam
guage alone is used. They have now only
about five per cent OF the school population.
/ They have almost reached the vanishing point,
! and are dragging out a waning and inefficient
existence
The Hawaiian population is spread around
the eight islands, and the common schools are
in isolated places. where there not above a
dozen children in the school district. But even
in the remotest spot, the chief desire of Ha-
waiian parents is to have their children taught
in English. It will be seen that therefore the
Common schools are doomed We're it possible
to get teachers educated in English to go to
these out-of-t the way places there would soon
be an end to the Hawaiian language in the
schools; but the pay is necessarily small, and
teachers must be supplied from the little viii
lagos in the neighborhood.
The Government English schools have 66 per
cent. Of the school population. Instruction is
wholly in English. They steadily increas-
ing. and are absorbing pupils from the Common
schools. in efficiency they compare favorably
with schools of the same grade in the Eastern
States. This opinion is frequently expressed
by educators from the United States visiting
the Hawaiian schools. In both the Govern
ment English and Government Common schools
co-education is the rule. The Independent
churches missions and various contributions
but, as matter of fact, the most of them are
subsidized by the Government, and receive aid
by special grants and scholarships. 1nstruc-
ton is also in English, and they have % per
cent. of the school population. Taking the
Government English and Independent schools
together gives above "a per cent. instruction in
the English language.
The total school population is 10,100, and of
this number 500 only are in the common
schools with the Hawaiin language.
OF the different nationaities in the schools
there are 81 Americans 13I English, over
1000 Portuguese. and about 300 Chinese.
While there is large Portuguese population
on the islands, the attendance is not due TO
that alone, but to the fact that Portuguese
parents have better appreciation of the ad-
vantages of education and strict application of
the compulsory Law. The Chinese and Japa-
nese attendance is extremely small in proper
tion TO the population Of EACH But neither
Chinese nor japanese citizens.
The Hawaiian schools employ about 25O
teachers Seventy nine are of the native race.
Others Hawaiian by birth, of American or
English parents: some OF them grandchildren
of the first missionaries. They have been
educated at Oberlin and other institutions in
the United States. especially for the profession.
