chinese scholars 10 Get Four Days
Holiday Next Week-yertical
Writing Discussed.

AT the meeting of the Board of
Education yesterday afternoon,
action in the matter of procuring
a teacher for Chinese pupils over
school age was deferred.
Professor Alexander brought up
a scheme proposed by Mr.. Abbott
to furnish supplementary reading
matter for the schools in the shape
of a publication to be called
"Hawaii's Young People" The
Board favored the proposal and
on motion of lnspector-General
Townsend agreed to take 1000
copies of the publication at 20
cents per copy per annum, which
will give five or ten copies to each
school.
The claim of L. II. Gibson of
the Waimea school for salary for
the month of September last
during which he was out of the
country was ordered paid.
Details for the examination of
teachers at Hilo shortly were left
to the Inspector. General who will
personally supervise the examina-
ton.
Deputy Inspector Scott was au-
thorized to excuse Chinese scholars
from attendance at school for the
first four days of the Chinese New
Year.
The board was invited to attend
the meeting of the Honolulu
Teachers Association at the High
School building next Monday
evening by Deputy-Inspector
Scott, who is chairman of the en-
tertainment committee. An invit-
alton was also extended to Minis
ter Cooper personally to address
the teachers on the occasion.
The Board expressed itself in
favor of the adoption in the
schools of the system known as
vertical writing" which requires
the pupil to maintain a vertical
position while writing and to use
a vertical method of penmanship
instead of the usual spencerian
style.
After the usual executive SEES.
sion the Board adjourned.

Russia Planning a Rig Navy.

A correspondent of a London
newspaper directs attention, says
the New York Post, to the present
strength of the Russian navy and
the enormous increase of it which
is now projected. The amount to
be spent for this purposes up to
1906 is S00,000,000 rubles. The
two triple-screw steamers Palade
and Diana, which are to be ready
soon, have each $3.50 tons displace.
ment and 11,6l0 horse power, and
it is expected that their speed will
be about twenty-five knots. The
cost of each of them, without their
armament, is estimated at 1885,.
600 rubles. Russia has strong
fleet in the Baltic, another in
the Black sea, a third in
the Pacific and will soon have a
fourth in the Arctic ocean, as a
port has been discovered on the
Thurman coast, which is to be con.
nected with Finland by railway.
The chief port in the Black
sea is the Nikolaieff, which has the
largest dockyards, but it will soon
be outstripped by Sebastopol.
The Russian volunteer feet in the
Black sea, mere transports at
present, could be rendered very
useful in war by their transforma-
ton into swift cruisers. The
chief Baltic arsenal of the Rus
sian navy is Cronstadt, but it has
a formidable rival in Libau, al
though it is doubtful whether the
latter is perfectly ice free. 1t has,
however, the great advantage of
lying much farther west than
Cronstadt. The naval headquarters
in the Pacific are at Vladivostock,
but the Russians hope soon to
have better station at Port La
zareff, or some port still farther
south and also free from ice. The
value of points on the French
coasts which the Russians have
been permitted TO use in common
with the French in the Mediter-
ranean, the Atlantic and the In
dian ocean is evident, but the
Russian Government nevertheless
is building war ships Of great
coaling capacity, in order to be
absolutely independent.

corps will consist of the following
j. Platt-Betts (the ex-amateur

f. W. Chase (speedy tandem rid.
ers), Tom Linton (whose name is
we'll known in the cycling worldly,
W. Lumsden, G. Chapple "a long.

considered good enough for any

men as these, together with the
fact that Martin, and the English,
Italian and Australian top notch
ers here will be competing with
one another, should make the
March Carnival an interesting
event.

VITAL STATISTICS.

Mr.. Reynolds, executive officer
of the Board of Health, is devot-
ing commendable energy to his
new function of supervising the
recording of births, deaths and
marriages. This service is one
that in most modern countries is
performed with considerable care
aud strictness. Heretofore il has
been but poorly attended to in
the Hawaiian Islands. Prior to
the passage of the Act of 1896 the
registration of such events was in
the hands of school agents for the
various districts. But a large
proportion of the inhabitants did
not know there was such an off
Ger, or knowing it were
not aware that he was
charged with this particular
duty. 1t is safe to say that hun
dreds of people born in the best
known families of Honolulu never
had their births recorded. Clergy
men were supposed to register
marriages, while record of deaths
was created from the requirement
of burial certificates. Under the
new law there is promise of
having the whole business
done systematically and with fair
completeness. 1t is in the hands
of the Board of Health, this body
being authorized to appoint a
registrar in each judicial district.
The executive officer of the Board
is registrar for Honolulu, also
supervisor for the whole country,
and deputy sheritfs are generally
the registrars for the outer
districts. With the police pow
ers of these officials de-
linquents will be traceable with
some degree of facility. No fee
Is charged the person whose duty
it is to have the events in ques-
ton registered. The secretary of
the Board is required to furnish a
copy of any entry in the record,
for which a fee of one dollar is
charged. Any physician, sheriff,
deputy sheriff, magistrate or as
SCISSOR who may be appointed
registrar shall perform the service
as part of his official duties with
out further compensation. Viola
ton of any of the requirements
of the Act renders the delinquent
liable to a fine not exceed
ing fifty dollars. The BULLE,
TIN feels it a duty to warn
the public that this law is not
going to be allowed to lapse into
sdead letter. There is no need to
occupy space with argument upon
the Importance of having the re.
cords kept with thoroughness.
Apart from their value purely as
statistics, cases will arise where
individual entries will determine
the descent or distribution of
nrOnerty.
