BY AUTHORITY.
CIRCULAR.

In a circular formerly issued by this
Board on the subject of religious teach
ing in schools, reference was made
to the fact that in the statutes relating
to the Bureau of Public Instruction it is
provided that no person in holy orders
or minister of religion shall be eligible
TO fill the Office of President Of the
Board of Education or of Inspector
General.
Again, Article 81 of the existing Con
stitution declares that mo public mon
ey shall be appropriated nor public
land conveyed to or for the support OF
benefit of any sectarian, denomina-
tionaI or private school, etc.
The evident intention of these pro-
visions is that there shall be no reIig-
ious teaching in the public schools sup
ported by the Government, but that
they shall remain strictly non-sectar-
ian and secular.
The school buildings should there
ing to the public education of the
children of the country. Accordingly,
the permission formerly given to the
School Agents ''to arrange with the
clergymen of any religious denomina-
ton to allow them the use of the Gov
eminent school houses after o'clock
D. m, for a time not exceeding one
hour, once a week for each denomina-
20 J1o icrin i'm
ton of such scholars as may choose to
attend is hereby revoked.
This Board does not, however, con-
slider it inconsistent with the principle
stated above, to continue the practice
of opening the schools every morning
by repeating the Lords prayer in
unison.
The School Law also declares that
'The object of the common schools
supported by Government is to instruct
the children of the nation in good
which include honesty, truth
obedience to parents and teach
ers, respect for superiors in age and
position, patriotism, kindness, benevo-
lence, helpfulness to the weak and the
humanity to animals, per-
sonal cleanliness, modesty, chastity,
and other virtues, which
should be taught by precept, illustra-
ton and example at all times.
No profane or indecent language
should be allowed in the school prem
ises or on the way to or from school.
Special instructions should also be
given on the evil effects of the use OF
alcoholic drinks and of narcotics.
BY order of the Board of Education,
J. F. SCOTT,
Secretary.

POLICE MEDAL SHOOT.
First Watch Under Captain kanae
Winners-Luau in Evening.

The excitement over the police
medal shoot ended in the contest
which took place yesterday morn
ing, when the three watches sent
their teams of nine men each to
compete at Kakaako butts. The
men mustered at the police station
at 4 a. m. and proceeded to the
range.
At 7 a. m. the contest began.
The first watch, under Captain
Kanae, won the medal and the
money prize of so.
d. Kamaka made the highest
score, IS out of possible %
points. J. Kupihe came next with
II.
The total number of points
made by the first watch was 100.
The third watch came second
with 118 points. The scores were
not good, the reason being due in
some degree to the fact that the
men had to march over a very
rough and muddy road before
reaching the range.
To celebrate the event of the day
a luau was given at 6 p. m. at the
home of Officer Publ, Kapalama.
The men were as eager for the fray
in that case as they had been in
the other, ten hours previous. All
the police officers were present and
it is needless to say they had a
splendid time.

PerIIn of n Joke In Germany.

This story illustrates tho perils of
practical joking in Germany: Eighteen
months ago four gentlemen of leisure
from the Rhine country went to the kir-
mess in Bullay. They rode atRnt with
cabby and drank wine until they were
overtaken by the conditions of mind
and body which accompany these per-
formances at German festivals. Then
they began to dispute with the cabman
as to the weight of his horse and cab.
Eventually they offered him so pfen-
nigs-or about IL cents-a pound for the
whole equipage He accepted the offer.
The horse and cab went on the scales
and registered 8, 900 pounds The whole
outfit was worth about $75 so the cab
man FASTENED to surrender it and de-
mand his 10 cents pound. or $500 in
all. The four gentlemen of leisure then
protested that it was all mistake, a
joke, in fact. and they couldn't think Of
paying $3.50 for $75 equipage They
went away, but the cabman sent horse
and cab after them by express c. o. D.
When the four gentlemen Of leisure
refused to follow the practical part of
the joke farther the cabman sued them.
He carried on the case from court to
court, in response to their appeals from
each successive decision in his favor and
two weeks ago obtained the final judg-
ment in his favor from the high court Of
justice in Coblenz. The costs meantime
had risen to 1910, so the four gentlemen
Of leisure were ordered by the court to
pay 5000, all told. That is the total cost
Of the practical joke about the cabman g
$40 outfit, excepting the private retain
ers which. for the defense of the four
jokers through the steady legal fight Of
year and half. are said to amount to
about 5000 more The Bullay cabman
