school. nor any school not unde- the
exclusive control of the Government
NJ mister Dtmon moved the adop
ton IF the article. II it was passed. il
would remove one Of the most serious
causes of di-conteut in the country.
It was the best course to make a stand
and make it brayeiy on this point.
Minister Smith believed in the
principle that the Government should
have supervision over all schools
helped But he did not think IT
necessary for the Government to have
exclusive control. He did not believe
thai help should be given sectarian
institutions. He offered a. an amend
ment that all after the words ''pri-
vate schooP' in the fourth line,
be stricken out, substituting the
words mot under the super
Wis on or control of the Govern
ment." There are several schools
that are doing a splendid work and
should be helped. A little aid in this
way goes long distance. 1t is iimpos-
sibIe for the Government To carry on
schools of this class, now, and he did
not believe it would be aule to- in the
future. He did not think such a pro-
vision was just.
Delegate Kahaulelio was in favor of
the committees report.
Councillor McCandIess hoped the
report would be adopted.
Delegate Carter said he had been at
some pains TO find out what schools
would be affected by this article, AMI
found that there were five. The first
was Kawaiahao Seminary. Even Ii
this was closed up. the work would be
taken up by the Kamehameha Girls
School. The second was the Maka-
wac Seminary. This Was one of the
best and has done splendid work, and
he would be glad to see IL under the
control of the Board of Education.
The third was at Kohala, and could
be greatly improved and enlarged II
taken In hand by the board. There
is no girls school on Kauai. The Hilo
Boarding School for Boys Is another
that will be affected, as it would lose
about 800 but that Is an Insignificant |
amount com pared with its expense. |
The Kauai Industrial ehool is the last |
one. L. will be much better to take |
Government assistance away from |
these schools, and ne trusted that the !
report would receive the warm sup |
port Of the Convention.
Minister Damon thought the adop |
ton OF this article would be the |
brightest star in the sky OF the Con- |
yenglOu, The men who are lack of |
these schools will not allow these |
schools to close. III they do, all the
Protestant Churches should close
their DOORS
Minister Smith said this would be
the darkest star instead Of the bright
close their doors. This country Is not |
and will not for many years be able !
20 carry on such schools. IF the Gov |
eminent was in q position to carry on |
these schools, ail right; but it is not. |
IL will be . dark day fur Hawaii when /
those schools are wiped out, as they /
will be IL this article is adopted
Delegate Ables believed the new |
Government would meet this emer- /
Rency. The sooner we started in to |
established a system of public schools
In this country the better.
Minister Smiths amendment was |
lost
The article passed as recommended |
by the committee.
ARTICLE 1O1.
Section l. The President and all |
civil officers of the Republic shall be |
liable To removal from office by i'm
parchment upon any OF the following |
grounds. namely: Any act or negii- |
geBce involving moral turpitude pun |
ishable by law as an offense and COM |
mitted while in Office. incapacity for |
the due performance of official duty, /
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. in office, aud as
sessment of office holders for partisan |
political expenses or being accessory
thereto.
Councillor waterhouse moved to /
amend by adding the words, ''Provid-
ed, however, that nothing herein
contained shall prevent the perempt-
cry removal from office of any person
who is disioyal to the Republic, or is
opposed to its avowed object and pur-
poses, or who favors in any way eth
er by word or deed the restoration or
establishment OF monarchical 3 vern-
ment in the Hawaiian Islands,"
Councillor Emmeluth wanted to
know who was the father OF this arti-
Gle?
President Dole said this article was
prepared by himself, and Minister
Smith adopted it as the report of the
Legislative Committee. The amend
ment of Councillor Warehouse was
very patriotic, but unnecessary, and
rather obtrusive in that place.
Councillor Wilder asked what was
meant by the last clause. He believed
that the party. expenses should be
partly paid by the office-holders.
President Dole said that il was
meant to prevent the President or any
Head of Department from coercing a
man by fear of dismissal, into paying a
certain amount towards such ex-
penses. -
Councillor Wilder said he had no
objection to such a construction of the
clause.
Delegate Carter moved to amend by
out all after the words, "mal-
in office in line g.
The sentence was just vague enough
to cause Observation-Disclosures.
Minister Smith said there was no
chance for error in the meaning. It
simply meant that the superior officers
should not assess their suoordinates.
Delegate Ables thought that the
wording of the article might be much
better, and he thought that the Judi
ciary Committee could prepare bet
