give too much English to natives, be-
cause they would become too smart.
Noble Cornwell did not think the
bill good one He added the follow
ing amendment to Section i: eff
found competent in the opinion of the
Board of Education"
Noble Baldwin said that Noble
Cornwelps amendment takes the gist
away from the bill. The bill Is a
dangerous one. There are $50 teachers
employed in this country, nearly all
of whom are in primary schools. The
Board had found it difficult to find
good teachers, either from here or
from abroad. While he appreciated
Hama, still the bill was a dangerous
one.
Rep. Nawahi enumerated the scan
dalous habits of several persons In
the employ of the Board of Educa-
ton.
Noble Thurston said that Rep. Bipi-
kane had kicked all the haoles.
There was q great deal of truth in
what the member from Hilo said. He
sympathised with the opposition to
continuously importing teachers.
There had been great deal of rubbish
in the way ofimported school-teachers.
But this law would not meet the diff
culties. He favored establishing first
of all q normal school in this king
dom. He offered the following resOlu-
ton: "Be it resolved that commits
sion of five persons be appointed to eX-
anime into the present system of sup
plying teachers to the common schools
of the country, and to report to the
next Legislature whether or not some
method may not be devised whereby
a supply of permanent teachers can
better he obtained, and more particu-
larly to examine into and report the
advisability of establishing g. local
normal school for the instruction and
training of teachers for the primary
schools; and, if the same shall be
found advisable, to formulate iegisla-
ton Necessary 60 carfy the same into
effect, together with an estimate of
| the additional expense of such pro-
position, and that bill 222 be laid on
| the table,"
Rep. Smith seconded the resolution.
With all respect to the Board, there
are some things which are not alto
gether satisfactory.
Rep. Kamauoha appreciated the
remarks of Noble Thurston, who had
proved his aloha for Eawaiians. But
$4,000 had already been passed in 1890
for normal instruction for teachers.

tous one. Why does the member
from the Third Ward want to protect
Chinese in this town whom the House
wishes to tie up. That is mea lapu
vale. Rep. Ashford's amendment
would take the meat out of the whole
bill, and if it passed, he would move
to indefinitely postpone theb bill. 1t wa:
traitOrous for man to say that he
favored the bill, when at the same
time he wanted to stab his constitu
ents in the dark. The member from
the Third Ward ran on the platform
in the interest of mechanics. He sale
that he loved them and would hue
them. We passed bill the other day
allowing 5000 more Cinnamon to come
into the country. 1t was too much tt
expect that the member from tin;
Third Ward would withdraw hi!

q unanimous vote against it.
Rep. Ashford said Noble Thurston'!
intimation that he was working il
the interest of Chinese was entirely
false. He was there in the interest o
native Hawaiians and Anglo-Saxons
Noble Young claimed that his con
stituents did not favor the bill.
