of His Scholars.
Mr.. EDITOR: In last Mondays
Advertiser there appeared a notice Of
the cruel bearing of a Portuguese
child at this place. Kindly permit me,
through your paper, 10 present the
other side of that story.
On Friday afternoon, my primary
teacher spoke TO me about a 12-year-
old girl who had for three days been
defying the teachers authority. l
went TO her room, and after talking
with the girl, gave her a spanking. In
her testimony the next day, she said
gave her 13 slaps with my open hand.
She Immediately sat down on the floor
and seemed to be slightly hysterical.
sent her sister for water, with
which we bathed her face. She soon re-
covered and went home.
There her people made such fuss
that she soon became hysterical again
Immediately the story went out that
had knocked the girl down, kicked
her and beaten her till she was black
and blue from head to foot and the
blood gushed from her nose and ears.
The doctor was called. He came and
examined the child finding not mark
or scratch, or sign of blood about her.
He gave her q shake, and went home.
He afterwards jokingly remarked that
if l had given her about six more good
slaps, she would have been all right.
Such was the brutal beating suffered
by that girl. Yet the next day l was
tried, convicted and fined the custom
airy SO and costs. Nothing was said
during the trial of any excessive or
unusual punishment. Several witnesses
were examined, all of whom testified
that I had simply spanked the girl.
The judge, in passing sentence, made
the following points:
l. If l had pleaded guilty to the
charge of assault with extenuating cir
cumstances, the plea might have been
received.
g If the child had belonged in my
own room, might have been justified
in Furnishing her.
8. The law gives the teacher author
ity to administer necessary and rea-
sonable punishment. But it does not
say of just what sort that punishment
should be. If instead of Furnishing the
child with my hand, had used a whip,
the Court might have discharged me.
Under the present circumstances, how
ever. he was compelled to impose fine.
1t, therefore. appears that I was fined
not for brutally beating a child, but
for furnishing one who was too stub
born for my assistant to manage, and
spanking her instead of thrashing her
with a whip. Yours truly,

AMONG THE RABBITS.
Excursion Party Visits Rabbit
Island Sunday.

EXCURSION TdrtN visits NaDDIt
Island Sunday.
About 4:3O Sunday morning the
steamer ]. A. Cummins left for Bird
Island with a jolly crowd of about 20
and the Quintette Club, the object be-
ing a day of outing. A very rough trip
was had, and when the Cummins ar
rived near Bird Island, it was found
that landing would be impossible, I'M
less the people wished to swim, and
since they did not care to do this, it
was considered best to proceed to Rab-
bit Island, near Makapuu Point.
Here the party landed, and the first
thing that met the eyes of all were
rabbits scampering here and there
among the long grass. OF course, this
was irresistible, and men, women, dogs
and guns were brought into play.
Something like so were killed, birds
were brought down and fish pulled
out of the sea.
After several hours on the island. a
delightful lunch and dancing on the
green beside the dead rabbits, the par
ty returned on board the Cummins and
set out on a sea-sick trip home.
Arriving at the Oceanic wharf, the
party dropped their plumber for the
inspection of the Custom House Off
GERS, and then departed for home on
an omnibus.
Cupid Kalanianaole and Ella Long
brought home young rabbits as a SOU
venir of the trip.
Among those who had the pleasure
of being on the pleasant excursion
were a number of ladies, Messrs. J. A.

Cupid Kalanianaole, Antoine Rosa, Ella
Long, J. F. Colburn, J. Black, George
