that the promotion should be made only in
case of necessity. This part of the COM
mittoe's report was eventually rejected 10y a
vote Of to Z.
Mr. Trczisc, chairman of the finance COM
mittec, reported that only 81, 600 had been re-
ceived from the tax collector for September
and there was no money ON hand
to pay bonds or notes falling due this
month and that the outstanding notes
amount to S2l 900. The Secretary re-
ported that about S1l, 600 was required to
pay the bills on his desk including 81, 800 for
the contractors of the new school building,
It was decided to let the latter bill lay over
for 80 days and authorize the officers of the
Board to negotiate an additional loan Of
about s., 600 for 30 days.
Mr. Williams, of the committee on insur-
ance, reported that IS, 900 worth of insurance
had been renewed on the West street build
ing and recommended that $1,000 worth be
placed on the new White street building.
Mr.. Trezise, of the committee on Compul-
sorry Education, reported progress ana said a
report would be ready in week or two.
President Price announced the appoint
ment Of the following committee Oh public

Daniel Ogden, W. j. Watkins NJ. NJ. Burke,
Esq, and John IL. Martin.
Architect Davis stated that the new White
street school building was completed with
the exception of few alterations and i'm
provements he bad suggested to the contrac-
tors and he recommended that steps be taken
to make an approach to the building from
White street. As the building of stone
wall railing, terrace, steps, etc, will cause
the expenditure of about $1,000. the Board
decided to erect temporary ratings and steps
for use until next spring.
The Board adjourned to meet again upon
the call of the President.
The Secretary was instructed to write to
the State Department at Harrisburg and ask
when the Board may expect to receive the
balance Of its appropriation.

Quite discussion arose over the report in
connection with the report of the committee
on teachers and salaries Secretary Hanna
said the report Of the committee had been
endorsed by the Superintendent and was
substantially the same as the latter's report
to the Board. The Superintendent denied
this and said he had made two suggestions to
the committee and one of them had been ac-
cepted, but he could not endorse the report
Of the committee as presented,
One part of the report provided for the
creation of a Second grade grammar school in
the new White street building and that
Michael H. Britt be made the teacher. This
would mean the promotion of Mr.. Britt from
the Second grade primary with an increase of
$40 per month in salary The recommendd-
ton brought up a question Of economy and

condition of the Board he was in favor Of
saving dollar wherever it could be done and

argued that Mr.. Ogden did not un-

of the Board it was decided by an election

Second grade grammar department, but in
answer to this it was maintained that the

First. Since the Fourth Grade Primary school,
proposed to be moved to the new building from
Union street, has an enrolment of only "a
pupils and the school OF the same grade in the
Main street building has only 40, an additional
school in the Fourth Primary Grade will not be
necessary at present.
Second. In the First Grammar Grade schools
there is an average of 81 pupils to each school,
In the Second Grammar Grade there is an
average of Sc pupils to each of the four schools
averages are not too high when compared with
an average OF so pupils in the other grades,
especially the primary grades.
IL is worthy of notice, however, that in the
Second Grammar Grades the B classes average
40, a number entirely too large. The question
number to an average of I5 or 46 by making
another school of B class pupils, and at the same
time maintain an average Of so pupils in the
Primary Grades, exactly the opposite Of what
should be
Or, remembering that there will be a drop
ping of " from these grades in the spring, will
il not be more advisable to make one of the
present schools b class school, and then
distribute the remaining up'ls among the
other three teachers, allotting to each 22 class
pupils and 32 or 33 class pupils, an average OF
about 55 each, and thus giving to the class
school about GO pupils, a number not too large
for Grammar Grade school OF all one class to
recite in two divisions.
By so doing, the fifth teacher already en-
ployed will enable you TO reduce the average
enrolment in the Primary Grades from 80 to AZ
or IS, thereby providing for the constant in
crease in these First Primary schools which, it
must he remembered, will be very marked in
the spring This latter course would, therefore,
seem to be the most advisable, If the welfare Of
the schools and the financial affairs enter into
consideration therefore recommend same

Owing to the overcrowded condition of GER
tain rooms in several grades, the following
recommendations are offered:
First. That one additional school be estab-
lished in the First Primary Grade in the Union
street building. The two schools Of this grade
in that building now enrol about $50 pupils To
accommodate the additional school, it will be
necessary to transfer the Fourth Primary Grade
school to the new building on White street
Second. That, unless another First Grade
Primary school he established, the school now
in the Z. NJ. church be transferred TO the new
building which, when moved, will, because of
an enrolment of only IS, give relief to the First
Primary Grades in the old building on White
street and the Main street building.
Third That two additional schools be estab-
lished in the Second Primary Grade, one to be
located in the new building and the other in the
Jardin street building, in the room now oc-
cupied by a Second Grammar Grade school :;
the Grammar Grade school to be transferred to
the new building. This should he done to
accommodate pupils of the Second Primary
Grade who live in the extreme southern part OF
the borough.
Fourth That an additional Third Grade
Primary school be established and located in
she new building.

is not the least doubt that McKin-

THE REAL ARTICLE.

Under political union with the
United States the people of the
Hawaiian Islands would have
more real independence than they
have had since the institution of
representative government in the
country. There really has never
been government by the people,
of the people, for the people, here.
Occasionally, the people have dis.
played a semblance of self rule by
upsetting schemes of the shrewd
foreigners who were the power
behind the throne. They have
done the same thing oftener by
acting as the tools of such schemes.
Now and then they showed their
resentment at the execution of
certain laws-obnoxious to them
but regarded as vital to the well
fare Of the country by foreign res.
idents-by adding riders to the
appropriation of salaries whereby
the hands of the executive were
forced to make changes in the
personnel Of the civil service.
Whenever the native Hawaiians
exercised their theoretical free.
dom radically it was al
most invariably with results
that left the quality of
their independence more strained
than ever-some cream came of
it and the proportion Of skim milk
was greater than ever. liz Hawaii
became State in the American
Union, the vote of a native dock
laborer in Honolulu would count
for as much in his country as that
of a New York millionaire in the
government of the Empire State"
of the Union. More than that,
the Hawaiian electors vote would
be as potent as that of the New
: York financial king in deciding
questions of national policy in
the United States Senate. 1t
might even be the deciding vote
in the selection of the President
of the United States.
