Brief History of the Hawaiian Peo-

At length on the 2Sth of Novem-

} England and France united in a
joint declaration to the effect that
, Her Majesty, the Queen of the
, United Kingdom of Great Britain
, and Ireland, and His Majesty, the
} King of the French, taking into
, consideration the existence in the
} Sandwich Islands of a government
, capable of providing for the regu-
} larfty OF its relations with foreign
. nations, have thought it right to
engage reciprocally to consider the
Sandwich Islands as an independ-
, ent State, and never to take pos
session, either directly or under
} the title of a protectorate, or under
, any other form, of any part of the
, territory of which they are COM

the Hawaiian Kingdom was admit

Pubic school System OF Virginia.

Editor Of The Times:
Sir,-We may state 1t as fact that now
ever they come into existence the puolic
schools are here and here 10 stay, ana
have long since passed the point where
upfr.endly criticism can hurt them. rms
being true, let Us assume that frleno.S
criticism may serve a good purpose III
suggesting changes which may make them
mora efficient. 4 am sure no one will vel
come this form OF critical advice more
honestly and heartily than those in charge
Of tha public school system Of our State.
This article is intended in no sense as
defense of the Board OF Education from
the articles in recent numbers of The
Times, but rather to call attention to some
statements contained in the first article of
this series.
Thu writes. Mr.. Saunders, says: '.1t is
ons OF thu popular errors to suppose that
nothing had been done by the State OF
Virginia for the education of her people
until after the adoption of the Underwood
CONSTITUTIONS. ard then he goes on to out
l;na 8 scheme OF public education pro-
posed by Jefferson, and In part adopted by
thu General Assembly," which he claims
.ths most complete and Comprehensive
ever devised and he then gives Jeffer-
sons ideal system OF QsD primary
school, (3d) an academy, and (3d) State
university, which. he says. the General
Assembly adopted by building the Uni
varsity, etc
Now, ia il a fact that Virginia had in
force at any time prior to the adoption Of
the Underwood Constitution any such sYs-
