For the Committees on Public
Lands and Internal Improvements
Senator Lyman reported on bill No.

Minister Of Interior to make a GER
tain class of leases, recommending

order.
Senator Wilcox reported on the
Board of Education matters, as
follows: Your Committee on Edu-
cation having had under considera-
ton the items of the appropriation
bill pertaining to the Bureau Of
Public Instruction find that, owing
to the large increase in the number
of pupils, the duties Of the Inspect
or-General of schools has been
growing i'll Importance and diff
Guilty, and that no one person can
fully attend to them.
Also that the District of Homo
lulu, taking both Government and
independent schools into account,
contains about one third of the
school children of the country.
I'VE would recommend the sal.
airy of Deputy Inspector and school
Agent for Honolulu pass as in the
bill.
I'VE find also that there has
been an actual growth in the duties
of the clerk and secretary, and that
the duties required of him are such
that only first class man can fill
them; that the Board of Education
asked Tor slight increase in his
pay, but that it has been reduced in
the bill to $1,000, which is $500
lower than it was last period.
1--WE recommend that it pass at
$1,000.
I'VE find that the pay roll of the
English, Hawaiian and Common
schools during the last few months
of the last biennial period amounted
to about SIS 900 month, and that
if the growth Of the present period
corresponds with that of the last, it
will amount to over $I7,ooo before
the end of this period.
I'VE recommend that the item
pass at SIC, 900 a month, or $3S4,-
900.
I'VE recommend to strike out
the next item OF $I2, 900 dollars for
additional support Of English, Ha-
waiian and Common schools for
1897.
Respectfully submitted,
&c. N. WILCOX.
