The end of the Hilo and Honolulu
railway controversy does not by any
10 the present company, it simply pro-
tects it during its initial stages. If the
company fails to carry out it's promises,
or becomes too arbitrary, or gives bad
service, there is nothing in the world to
prevent another company being formed
in the future. But it would have been
company into competition with the
present one, just after granting the
first franchise. The reasoning of the
chief executive is in this case thor
oughly sound.

IMPROVING.

The death rate for May is still toe
being 29.4S per thousand, but it is very
much better than some of the previous
months of the year, and the Hawaiian
death rate shows a marked improve
ment, though it is serious enough still.
In April 40 Hawaiian deaths were re-
ported, of which II were children, under
five years of age, giving a rate of 81. 1S
per thousand. In May, there We're 92
deaths among Hawaiians, of which 10
were children under five, the rate being
1899. The death rate among children
of tender years is far too large, and GER
tainly argues carelessness among some
of its causes.
a great gain has been made i'm the
matter of investigation of deaths which
occur without a physician in attend
ance. The agent of the Board of Health
reports ''all unattended cases investi-
gated by the coroner" The case of
Kameeni to which attention was called
in The Star of last Thursday, June LIST,
was investigated by Coroner Chilling
WI III ollel the dTllCle appeared. Inc
result of Investigations was the discov-
cry of case where a woman had been
treated by kahuna, and the trial and
punishment of that person.
There are four deaths to add to the
list of those who have died from con-
sumption during the year, making a
total of AZ. The unknown" deaths are
only two. This is a wonderful i'm
provement. In January IL were entered
as unknown" in February u, in
March II, in April 6. The work done by
The Star then has borne some tangible
fruit What was a disgrace to the sta
tistics of the city is gradually being
wiped off, and the point is now pretty
firmly established that no persons
death should be entered under such
mead but that proper investigation
should be made, whenever there is no
medical man to certify as to the cause
of death. We shall have to make some
further steps forward before we come
into line with other civilized cities, but
a great step has been made forward to
make it clear that when a person dies.
rich or poor there must be a proper
reason given. Our statistics will also
be much more valuable for purposes of
comparison with other places.

A SLIGHT ERROR.

The report of the committee of three
upon the free school system, which was
published in Saturdays Star, is a very
able document. 1t clearly puts the
points that was at issue under the three
heads: Il. The utility of the so per cent
tuition fee as basis Of selection; @ it's
utility as a means of revenue, and 3, its
real effect in our schools" The points
have been argued again and again, but
tersely put as each argument is, con-
viction had to come to every careful
thinking mind, and the result was
sweeping victory for Minister Mott
Smith.
Ably as the report is written, there is
an error in the. genesis of the select
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1899-06-05

school" and the so cent fee. The s. a
year fee which was abolished in 1883,
was never used as a method of selec-
ton. 1t was purely revenue measure
to enable the board to raise funds to
pay the English teachers. Neither the
Fort street school, the original select
school," nor "the Hilo select school"
came from these beginnings. Both Fort
street and the Hilo select, came from
private ventures, which were taken
over by the Government because they
We're unable to stand on their own legs
And it was because of their peculiar
character that they did not fall under
the official ak of 1883, when the Govern
ment English school were made free.
1t is incorrect to say that with the
growing prosperity of the country and
under the care of good teachers, select
schools steadily increased. There was
no idea of selection in the Government
English schools. The only idea was, if
a parent wanted it's child taught in
English, it would have to pay So a year
for the privilege. When the Portuguese
first came to the country they were
forced to go to the Government Eng
fish schools, and it was discovered that
they could not be forced to pay. The
Hawaiian had to pay, until relieved in
1888
The select school sprang from the pri
vate school. In the report of the Board
of Education for 1870, will be found the
real genesis of the select school. On
page 8 of that report is the following:
THE Fort street school, Honolulu.
This school, instituted as a private
school by Mr.. NJ. b. Beckwith in Sep
TENDER, 1865, was assumed as a Govern
ment school by the Board of Education
in March, 1869. and by permission of the
trustees of Fort street church, it was
carried on, as it had previously BEEN in
the basement rooms of that building,
until November 1869, when the school
was removed to the new stone building
erected by the board on a site purchas-
and School streets"
The reason given for taking the school
over was that the the private schools
were with difficulty maintained The
genesis of the Hilo select school was
some what similar. 1t was a school
known as the Hilo Foreign school, and
was conducted as private school I'M
der a committee of citizens who man
aged the funds and appointed the
teacher In 1889, in consequence
of urgent solicitation on the part
of that committee, which was for
ever short of funds, it was taken over
by the Board of Education and made a
select school. If Honolulu had it's select
school, there was no reason why Hilo
should not, and it was on that ground
that opposition to it's being so taken in
ceased, though the opposition to select
schools per Sc continued, till it's final
victory a few weeks ago.
The select pay school was not, as the
historical part of the report claims, an
outgrowth of the educational system
inaugurated by Richard Armstrong,
but an eXcrescence thrust upon it at
certain times when private ventures,
perfectly justifable in their inexperi-
ence, were found to be failing, and were
thrust upon the public funds. This is
the true inwardness of the select pay
school

Nothing shows the energy and adap-
tibility of the American more than the
manner in which Cuba has been gov
erned since it's occupation by the United
states troops. The amount of admins
trative reform that has been carried out
in Havana and Santiago is simply Won
derful. In the mere matter of cleaning
up the cities a herculean task was I'M
dertaken. We read with establishment
of the filth of these places, and what
prejudice and listlessness had to be
overcome, in order to make these places
come into line with other parts where
the AngloSaXon has his civilization.
