ARTICLE.



public money shall be appropriated nor
public land conveyed to or for the
support or benefit of any sectarian, de-
nomlnational or private school, nor any
school not under the exclusive control
of the Government
Minister Smith objected to the pro.
vision exclusive control lie would
move to strike out all after "school"
and insert mot under the supervision
or control of the Government"
Mr.. Kahaulelilo was in favor of the
draft. If these public schools wanted
public aid they could come under the
Board of Education.
Mr. McCandless said the amendment
destroyed the intent of the article. Mr..
Smith was favuring private parties who
wanted to use the public treasury. He
had been here ten years and he had got
ten tired of different denominations
fighting over the public treasury.
Mr.. Carter had looked into the matter.
Five schools would be effected by the
change. The girls Kamehameha school
would do such work as Kawaiahao is
now doing. The measure would put the
institutions effected upon more solid
financial footing.
Mr.. w. o. Smith said il would be a
sad day when those schools should be
closed, which the article proposed
would do.

adopted.

Torrance of official duty, maladminis-
tration in Office, and assessment of
office-holders for partisan political ex-
penses or being accessory thereto.

patriotic, but there was no need for it,
the stand being taken in other places.

be the very first to contribute to theil
party's needs.
