EDUCATION.
Result of the commissioners Session
Yesterday.

Minister Cooper presided over
yesterday afternoons meeting OF the
Commissioners of Education.
The new High School course Of
study was submitted by Prof. Scott
and approved Of, aud is now in the
course OF being printed for issue.
The President brought up the
new schedule OF salaries OF teachers
and after some favorable discussion
it was on motion of Prof. w. ID.
Alexander decided that it should go
into effect in September next. The
salaries are graded on the basis OF
efficiency and the term OF service,
and the additional cost is estimated
at $4,000 year.
In discussing material for his an
nusl report Minister Cooper made
several suggestions among which
we're new building on the Fort
Street grounds for the Normal and
Practice Schools; the adding of
agricultural to manual training at
the Reformatory School; the re-
moval OF that institution to Makiki
aud making it self supporting, and
transforming the present buildings
into a temporary home for nom
leprous children of leprous parents.
He also thought that Lahainaluna
should be more useful to itself, aud
that it would be advisable for the
Legislature TO provide reformatory
school for girls. The various sug-
gestions were favorably considered.
The erection of new school on the
Beretania street lot and one at Vine.
yard and Liliha streets were favor
ably spoken of.

THE ToNTo RACES.

The horse races arranged by residents of Lower Tonto, and which were pulled off near Cline postoflice on Friday, August 27, attracted large crowd and furnished plenty of entertainment. The sweepstakes race did not fill but there were enough match races to fill out the programme.
 The principal event was 400 yard race for $50 side, between Frank Mills gray mare and Puckett's gray mare, backed by Kieth. It was close and exciting contest from start to finish, and was won by the Mills mare by six feet.
 Another well contested race was that between J. c. Henderson's gray pony and J. T. Flippen's black horse, 200 yards, for $50. Notwithstanding the desparity in size the pony won handily by 10 feet; about S200 changed hands on this event. Several other good races were run. The only incident to mar the pleasure of the occasion was an accident which befell John Pemberton. Ills horse fell on him, rendering him unconscious and from which he did moi recover until the following morning al daylight Jack is alright again and around as usual.
 The celebration wound up with [ dance in the Tonto school house, whicl was largely attended and lasted al night. There were abundant refresh ments during the day and night, anG everybody had good time.
