The last public school in Hawaii in
which instruction was given in the
native tongue has been closed, and
English is now the official language
throughout the islands. For more
than 80 years dual system has been
maintained in court proceedings. All
accused persons having Hawaiian blood
in their veins had to be tried in the
Hawaiian language, even although
they could speak English, In civil
cases where one of the parties was of
native descent, the jury was half Ha-
waiian and half white. The territorial
act which made the islands United
States territory provides that only
persons who can read, speak, write
and understand English are eligible
for jury duty.

You wouldn't see every day.

But here we stamp and play. and roar.
And wear your life out with our noise.

And you'd be glad to have us go
There, nobody would be unkind,
For you dislike your children so.'
