For every quarter in mans pocket
there are a dozen uses, and to use each
one in such way as to derive the great
est benefit is question everyone must
solve for himself. We believe, however,
that no better use could be made of one
of these quarters than to exchange it

For the first time the Board has made
an effort to get at the average attend
ance of the pupils. This, of course, was
only possible in Government schools,
because there is no law compelling the
teachers of independent schools to keep
accurate statistics of such matters. The
average attendance for the whole group
was. SS.2 per cent. The best attendance
was on Kauai, where 90.7 was the per
cent. attendance, and the worst was on
Hawaii and Molokai, both of which give
1854 as their per cent. In Honolulu the
average is $3.50.
A comparison is instituted between
the school attendance in some of the
cities of the United States and Hawaii,
and the per cent. of attendance is very
much in favor of our Islands. New
York reports an average of 70 per cent,
Columbus, Ohio, so per cent, San Fran
cisco, 81 per cent, and Los Angeles 73
per cent. But it is justly pointed out
that the comparison should rather be
made with States than with cities, in
as much as our population is a seated
ed, not concentrated one Comparing
in this way Hawaii stands much better.
for New York State has an average
school attendance of GA per cent, Ohio
of " per cent, and California of 81 per
cent.

1t is evident that the public school
system here is based upon American
lines, and that American ideas and Am
erican teachers have the guiding influ-
ence over them. This should be thor
oughly understood by the people of the
United States. OF whatever nationality
people may be, here they are fused into
nation which is American in all but
name. When annexation comes it will
find a people which has been educated
on the same broad basis as the common
schools of the United States stand on.
They will find people trained in ideas
Of freedom and equality.

SCHOOLS.

The report of the Board of Education
is to hand. 1t covers over 140 pages and
gives a considerable amount of infor-
nation about the schools.
On the Islands there are 122 Govern
ment English schools, with an enroll
ment of 1903 pupils, 60 independent or
private schools, with an enrolment of
8, asa pupils, and three Hawaiian schools
that is where instruction is given en-
tirely in Hawaiian-with an enrolment
of SO, making in all an enrolment of
1856 children. OF these 7,O13 are boys,
5,603 are girls. This is the largest school
enrolment since the year 1854, when
there were 1892 children in school.
Since that year there was a gradual
downward tendency, which reached its
lowest point in 1876, when all classes of
schools combined only mustered 6,252.
From information furnished by the
Board of Education, there seems every
indication that this steady increase will
continue.
The nationality of the pupils attend
ing our schools is another subject of in
terest. No less than twelve nationali-
ties are represented. The Hawaiians
head the list with 5,207 children, a
slight increase upon the number in the
report of 1894. The Portuguese come
next with 1886 children, and those of
mixed Hawaiian blood count up 2,19S.
The increase of Portuguese in the space
of two years is very marked, being 635
in advance of what it was in 1894. Am
erican children number 1856, British 200,
German 253. The Chinese show large
increase from 529 in 1894 to TAO in the
present year. The breaking down of the
prejudice against sending Chinese chill
dren to school is due to the strenuous
efforts of Mr. F. W. Damon. The Jap
anese are also beginning to come into
school, In 1890 there were only 80 Jap
anese children in school, and now 261
are reported. South Sea Islanders still
figure in the list, but their number, 20,
has no effect upon the general total.
They have been steadily decreasing
since 1890.
The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1896-05-08

There were, at the time the report was
made up, 426 teachers upon the Islands.
Of these PSI were employed by the Gov
eminent and 1863 by the Independent or
private schools. The Government en-
ploys 90 teachers of Hawaiian blood and
4S of mixed Hawaiian blood, or 101 Ha-
waiians in all. Teachers of American
birth or parentage number 95, and Brit
ish A. There are also Portuguese OF
the American and British, many have
been born in this country and have re-
ceived their education wholly or IN
part in our own educational institu-
lions. 1t is satisfaction to see the
Portuguese coming into school employ
ment. With one exception, the Portu
guese teachers have received their edu-
cation in the Hawaiian schools, and in
several instances they are the Off
spring of parents who can neither read
nor write. The Government school
teachers pay averages $50 per month,
ranging from $120 per annum paid to a
few pupil teachers up to $2,70O per an
mum paid to one teacher of the highest
grade.
In the independent or private schools
only Is teachers are of pure Hawaiian
blood, while there are but II of mixed
Hawaiian blood, or q Hawaiians in ALL
The American teachers amount to 80,
the British to %, and the remainder are
divided among German, French, Bel
gian, Scandinavian, Portuguese, Dutch,
Japanese and Chinese.
