1t is not always safe to separate

EX-MARSHAL HOPKINS DECLARES
HIMSELF FOR ANNEXATION.
He Has Signed the Roll-A Military
Company Signs to a Man-Sugges-
tion for the Military Meeting.

Since John Lot Kaulukou, attorney
dom declared himself for annexation
Charles l.. Hopkins, at one time mar
shal of Hawaii during the reign of
King Kalakaua, has come forward and
announced that he desires to see his
country absorbed by the greater Re
public.
Mr.. Hopkins appended his signature
to the annexation membership roll in
the office of Mr.. p. c. Jones. He states
that he knows that annexation will
be the best thing for this country and
he believes it would be to the best in
terests of all ITawaiians. Mr.. Hopkins
has voluntarily promised to lend his
hearty support to the movement.
! \ number of natives, and prominent
ones, too, have gone over into the an
nexation columns during the past fort
night.
The military companies are begin
ming to send in their annexation lists

Capt. Zeigler's company will do like

among the military will all be in next
week.
1t has been suggested by some an.
neXation officers interested in the mat
ter that it would be best for the mil
itary men who attend the annexation
meeting next week to dress in civil
ian's clothes. No lines would hen be
drawn and it would be more of a gen
eral affair.

CHINESE IN THE SCHOOLS
YOUTHS FROM CHINA SENT TO BE
EDUCATED.
Special Glass to Be Formed for Chinese
Above the School Age-Number of
Scholars Weeded from Schools.

For some time past a question has
confronted those who are in charge of
the educational matters of the country
which has caused them no end of wor-
ry. 1t was the question of what to do
with the Chinese who have been
crowding into the Government schools
eager to acquire an English education.
A brief spell back, Principal Wells,
of the Honolulu Chinese School, COM
planned to the Board that his classes
were greatly overcrowded and further
that many Chinese We're attending the
school who were entitled to vote as far
as age was concerned several years
ago.
| The educational commissioners at
once designated Deputy Inspector Gen
eral Scott to look into the matter. Full
authority to take the proper steps to
weed out the classes was also vested
in him.
Mr.. Scott entered in upon this as
signment this week. He assisted Mr..
Wells in reorganizing his classes. In
so doing nearly a dozen Chinese who
were over the school age, were forced
out of the school. In the future Prin-
cipal Wells will receive no grown up
Chinese in his school.
William A. Bowen, at the regular
weekly meeting of the Board held yes
terday afternoon, took steps to estab-
lish school for the older Chinese
boys. Rev. Frank w. Damon had
kindly consented to tender the use of
one of the rooms in the Mills Institute
for a school room, and Mr.. Bowen sug-
gested that Allen w. Walcott be made
teacher. The school committee has
the matter under advisement.
Minister of Foreign Affairs Cooper
who is also president of the Board of
Education, states that the excellent
:. advantages to secure an English edu
cation afforded by the Hawaiian Gov
ernment, has attracted the attention
of Chinese parents way over in the
Celestial Empire and that they were
rapidly bringing their children to thi:
country on this account.
There are numerous private Chinese
schools in the city which are main
tanned by the Chinese themselves. A
club is formed and each pays his share
toward paying for the time of the
teacher employed.

BOARD OF EDUCATION.
Anonymous Writer Makes Charges
Against a Teacher.

A diligent hunt has been inaug-
the author of an anonymous letter
which found its way to the meeting
table couple of weeks ago. In the
letter charges were preferred against
Mr.. Scribner of Hanapepe school. That
gentleman has made general denial
of the complaints made. An agent of
the Board appointed to investigate the
matter reported yesterday that c. d..
Pringle was in no way involved in the
matter.
The salary of Miss Helen Severance
of the Hilo school was fixed at 5000 a
year
School Agent Lindsay at Hamakua
filed his report of expenditures to the
school houses in his district. He states
that more money is needed for this
purpose.
c. d. Pringle's application for the
position of principal of a proposed new
school at Kahullu was postponed.
The position of instructor of the Po-
hakupuku school was made vacant.
The Kawaihoeuku school was ordered
closed. Another school will be opened
near by.
The Board has under consideration
suggestion to do away with the knife
work in the Waimea Boys School on
Hawaii and to introduce agricultural
work. Principal Vredenberg has given
it as his opinion that agricultural en-
ployment would be better.
Principal Osmer Abbott, of the Id
hainaluna school, was before the
Board and gave information touching
upon the wants of the school. This is
an agricultural school and no other
school on the islands is operated in the
same way. Minister Cooper thought
that a special appropriation should be
made to this school. He asked that
the matter lay over week.

Mr.. A. Ahrens today notified First
Vice President Dillingham; and other
officers of the Oahu Sugar company Of
his acceptance of the position of gen
eral manager of the rev sugar planta-
tion. He will not take hold until the
latter part of February.
The Waianae Sugar Plantation, of
which Mr. Ahrens is at present man
ager, have considered no one to fill
the vacancy which will be made by
the change. Mr.. II. A. Widemann stat
ed today that Mr.. Ahrens has been
with the Waianae plantation for sew
enteen years, ever since he first landed
in Hawaii. He had made a marvellous
success out of Waianae and would
surely keep up his reputation by his
management of the new plantation.
The salary attendant on the position
of manager of the new plantation is
said to be large one.
Mr.. Dillingham; said this morning
that work was commenced on the
plantation this morning. Laborers are
clearing $50 acres of the land of the
banana trees and when this has been
done will plant sugar cane seed. This
will grow until July, when the first
crop of 1,5OO acres will be planted

EAVORS CLOSER UN|MRECHVE A SEVERE JOLT
BICYCLE RIDERS DISSATISFIED
WITH THEIR TROPHIES.
War Now On Among the Local Ath-
Distribution of Prizes-Awards.

There are sore feelings" among the
members of the Honolulu Amateur
Athletic Club, and it is all over the
distribution of prizes for the athletic
and bicycle events at the field sports
at Kapiolani park on Saturday. The
bicycle boys claim that they have got
decidedly the worst of it and they in
tend to play even at the first oppor-
tunity.
When the field day was first sug-
gested, a dissension was created
among the members on the matter of
having the bicycle races in the pro-
gram. 1t was finally determined to
allow these races. Now that the sports
are over, those who opposed the BIZ
cycle races from the first, have made
their fine Italian hand felt by cutting
down the prizes to what the bicycle
members of the club call IAN insig-
nificant lot of rot
\ committee, composed of Charles
Crane, George Angus and 7. V. King,
appointed to solicit the prizes, did not
accomplish its work, owing to a pres
sure of time. Mr.. Smithies was asked
to make a canvass, which he did, col
lecting $110 The prizes were not de-
termined upon until meeting last
evening in the Y. NJ. C. A. hall. Gold
medals, valued at $5, and silver medals
were awarded as first and second
prizes in the athletic events. The BIZ
cycle prizes were decided upon as fol-
| lows:
1. One mile novice-First prize:
Trophy valued at $12. Second prize
Trophy valued at Sc.
2. Half-male Handicap--First prize:
Trophy valued at SIS. Second prize
Trophy valued at S..
3. One mile Novelty-First quarter:

4. One mile Commute class-First
prize-Trophy valued at $12. Second
prize-Trophy valued at Sc.
5. One mile invitation mot decidedly

Walker medal and trophy valued at
$50. Second prize-Trophy valued
at S..
s. Tanden-First prize-Trophy val
ued at SIS. Second prize-Trophy val
ued at So.
Here is where the rub between the
athletic and bicycle members of the
club comes in. The latter claim that
they have been faithful in their train
ing. That they have neglected their
Thanksgiving, Christmas and New
Years dinners, as well as deprived
themselves of other pleasures in order
that they might put up good races.
Another contention is that they run
the risk of smashing their wheels, paid
out money for training and in a nut
shell, the majority of the people were
out to witness the bicycle races.
The Athletic Club has over $500 in
the treasury and the bicycle boys
want the club to expend some of this
money in order that decent prizes
might be presented.
But the majority of the club say
"nay." They give it out cold that the
money is going to stay in the treas
ury.

blood" in the ii. A. \. c.

Southern school Histories.

Cincinnati Comaercial-Tr bune. July 70. 1897.
For several years there has been a dispo-
siiion in the South to criticize as unfair
school histories written in the North. The
position Of the South in regard to the Civil
War. according to its partizans, was not
placed in the proper light by many writers.
who gave all the glory to the North and rig
idly excluded the slightest point in favor of
the Lost Cause or its supporters. AS these
complaints grew the newspapers took the
matter up, and before long a vigorous cru
SADIE against Northern school histories was in
progress. The natural result was the APP
pearance of scores of school histories written
by Southern men from a strictly Southern
standpoint Several of these books bore
the marks of hasty preparation, and nearly
opponents and magni6ed the achieve
ments of the Southern warriors and minim
lied those of their enemies that the ex-
Confederates themselves were quick to see
the folly of using them in the schools.
This, however, was not until after these
books had been favorably reviewed by the
Southern press and received grave sanction
from the pulpit.
1t did not lake long to demonstrate to the
Southern people that they had made a mis-
take. In their resentment against what they
looked upon as slight from Northern school
book writers, they went to the other ex-
treme, and their own good sense taught
them so.
The spirit of patriotism whi.:h prevails
through the South was plainly evident from
acuOn on the ScnOOIOOOk question taken at
the recent reunion of ex-Confederte soldiers
at Nashville. A committee had been aP-
pointed to investigate and report upon the
entire question. This committee sensibly
decided not to indorse condemn any par
ticular book, and declared that its sole pur-
pose is to encourage truth in history. This
paragraph from the committees report,
which received the Endorsement of the re-
union, shows the sentiment: ''No sectional his
tory is wanted in the schools of this country
and we desire no history taught in the
schools of the South but what ought to be
taught in the schools of the country every
where.'
This declaration from the old soldiers
themselves ought to put a stop at once to
the foolish Southern school history and with
it the New England slurs upon the South.
The folly of teaching children what is not
true is recognized by the men, North and
South. who fought in the war, and school
boards should take heed of it and throw out
all books that fail to do justice to both
sides.
