A Fair Proposition

We know we shall find some to
oppose one suggestion we should
like to make, and which would
equalize in a measure the test of the
Hawaiian aud the foreigner 1t
should count for good deal, that
the Hawaiian is speaking and writ
ing classic, while the foreigner is
speaking and writing his mother
tongue. Now, If both Hawaiian and
foreigner had to show proficiency
in the language Of the country, the
test would be fairer. A pupil, who
was suffering under the severe cen
sure Of foreign teacher, once said
to the writer: "Why should he be
so hard on me for being ignorant Of
English when he can't speak six
words of my language after living
years among Hawaiians :"
