HILO, HAWAII.

In giving history of the public
schools. it is we'll TO go back for a
time to the ancient Hawaiian before the
time of Cook The Hawaiians as many
would suppose were not illitcrate by
any means though they had no written
language of any kind. They had a
vast knowledge of all the Hawaiian
plants and had them classified in a
rude way and every one named. Mr..
Townsend. the Inspector general of
schools: says: "Their knowledge Of
the characteristics and habit of the
different plants would put to shame
many school girl able to chase
flo wers down and call them hard
names consisting Of two Latin or
Latinized words each" They had a
broad insight into the fishes that were
to be found in the ocean. They also
had names of all the birds and were
fully acquainted with their habits.
They had q fair knowledge OF the
geology of the islands, that is. they
had names for all the different kinds
of rock, and accounted for them in a
way satisfactory to themselves and
about as near correct as the white
people of few centuries ago. This
knowledge of astronomy was con-
sldered by some to have been in ad-
vance Of the astrono ners OF Europe
The ancient Hawaiians We're great
travellers, making frequent trips to the
East and Southeast to the groups of
the south seas. These sea journeys
we're made in two canoes or proa's
followed out of logs and lasheG to-
gether and boarded over the top. This
serving for a deck.
The literature preserved by means
of legends. A certain class of the
Hawaiia1.s devoted their entire lives
1t was learned in the form of mo-
notonous chant. Mr. Tounsend says:
THAT they were Intelligent is shown
by the fact that their language con-
tained more than 10000 words yet
it had no written form and they had
no alphabet. Remember this is the
ancient Hawaiian. The Hawaiian Of
the present day is far different per-
son. He is just what he has been
made by his association with the
whites Beginning of education by
missionaries.
Although Cook. Vancouver. and
several of the early explorers made
a small effort to educate and enlight-
en- the Hawaiians. The first real at
tempt at education were made by the
missionaries in 1920 but made slow
progress ut first In 1922 their Ian
guage was reduced to written form
by Ellis. After this they became more
interested and some of them soon be-
came good scholars. Until 1881 little
attention was paid to the education OF
children. 1t was confined entirely to
the kings and chiefs. In September
1882 Lahainaluna seminary was built.
This is in existence today and is the
Oldest school on the islands. The
Hilo boarding school for boys was
built in 1896, also still in existence
A boarding school for girls at VIA
luku was built in the same year and
in 1899 an industrial school for boys

common schools. In 1896. several of
the schools adopted system Of agri-
culture and raised besides taro sever
I'll other vegeta bles which they sold and
improved the school with the profits.
L ntil 1884 most of the education Of
Hawaiian children was conducted in
their native language. In 1854 the
English language was provided for al
Hawaiian children whose parents
would pay half the teachers salary.
From 1860 to 1870 little progress was
mace in school matters The Catho-
lies had established a school system
and this naturally led to much
quarrellng back and forth and not
! much education. In 1870 Mr. H. r..
Hitchcock was put at the head and some
rapid strides were made in the way Of
education. In 1s11. there were only
five schools on the islands. where the
English language was taught. These
We're called ''Select Schools" In 1881
there were II of these schools and 100
teachers. In lSSS u law was passed
that stopped all tuition fees in these
select schools. In this year the total
number of pupils in the government
schools was $3.50. Now there are
l.436 From 1883 the schools inn
proved still more rapidly and now
they are about as good as the world
affords.
The education is compulsory and no
fooling about it. If a child plays
truant he is either locked up or sen,
to a reform school. And if the par
ents keep him at home they are liable
to fine and Imprisonment. Each dis
trict has a school police who looks
after pupils of this sort and any child
between the age of Is and l5 who is out
of school without written excuse
from either teacher or doctor is liable
to get in trouble.
Teachers are bired he.'e by the
year receiving pay for II months,
though school is in session only 8
months. The school hours are from

the work of the teacher is laid out in

the schools have from to 1000 acres

There are 1S9 schools on the islands
and 544 teachers.

When Mr.. Gary had concluded his

that any information that he had
