EXTENT OF CLASSIFICATION.

How far classification in connection with cities
might be applied to functions Of the school
boards strictly educational in character, such
as the qualifications OF pupils or teachers, the
grading of schools, the course of study, etc, We
need not now consider, This act does not in
terfere with any such matters, but leaves them
all unchanged, as before, in the hands Of the
governing bodies. The act deals with business
affairs which, though relating to schools, are in
their nature municipal, and provides similar
system for those similarly situated.
It does not make the school boards part of the
municipal government; they are left as inde-
pendent as they were before. But recognizing
that large population compressed into a small
territory may nave the same necessity for a
somewhat differently constituted board of gov
ernment for the business affairs of its schools.
that il has for its strictly municipal affairs, it
provides a special system for districts so spe'
cially situated. This is the legitimate Office OF
classification and therefore not local or spe-
cial within the prohibition OF the constitution,
The act of 1874 in its main features affecting
school districts is in entire harmony with the
act of 1854 and the general laws on the sub.
ject Of schools. Whether the variations as 10 the

she would return with her Asiatic pas

From the reception rendered some of
the Island steamers on Kauai last
week. it is plausible. During the chOl-
era time steamers were refused a har-
Dor there and the Kauaians are the
most fastidiOus people on the group
when it comes to matter of this kind.

were departures in Wilder-s line. Ow-

gloomy appearance. Permits regard
ing the sailing of Island vessels are

Kilohana Wrecking Gang.

preceded them, and when on the spot
if the wreck has not been damaged by
the late heavy weather. work will pro-
Ceed Immediately to float her off the
reef. The Kaena will be used to pump
the water out of the kilOhana while at
the same time a temporary patch will
be placed on any hole which may have
worked in the bottom. The Niihau will
tow the wreck to Honolulu. There is
every reason TO believe the vessel can
be saved and with a small outlay be
placed in good condition. 1t is said
+ that Captain Nicholson. who was in
/ charge of the KilOhana when she was
wrecked, is again in one of the local
steamers.
