THE VENEZUELAN QUESTION.
r.. II. AULl, EDIToS.

The war being made by Germany,
England, Spain and Italy upon Vene-
zuela is causing some uneasiness among
government officials and others in this
country. Some are apprehensive that
the allied powers cherish ulterior de-
signs against the Monroe Doctrine. A
few like Henry Watterson Historically
declare that the time has come for
abandonment or modification of that
doctrine. Some, as Judge Richard. AL
vey, of the Court of Appeals of the
District of Columbia, express the opin-
ion that Secretary of State Hay, in ac-
quieseing in the employ of force by En-
gland and Germany to compel the Vene-
zuelan government to make good the
claims of their citizens against that
country, has already to a considerable
degree surrendered the principle of the
doctrine referred to.
Judge Alvey is one of the most able
jurists In the United States and his
opinions are entitled to respect, but in
this case we think that he is in error.
1t is not so very long since Americans
Were bossting of the right of this gov
ernment to use force to compel the Sui
tan of Turkey to liquidate claims Of
American citizens against that country.
It would seem to be a reasonable prop
osition that when one country refuses to
comply with its obligations to another,
force may properlyb be used to compel
such compliance. The gist of the Mon
roe Doctrine is that the United States
will not permit any European power to
acquire more territory than it now pos
sesses on the Western Hemisphere. If
England or Germany, or either of them
should attempt to appropriate any por-
tion of the Venezuelan territory, how
ever small, that would be violation of
the Munroe Doctrine and this country
would be bound to interfere to prevent
it and thus the United States would be
forced into war.
But there is no danger of war and no
reason fer the abandonment of the
Monroe Doctrine. The existence of the
Monroe Doctrine is ;=the guarantee
against war. The European powers
know that the people, of the United
States, without regard to party lines
or shades of political faith have only
one view on this question, and will
stand by the Monroe Doctrine at all
hazards, for the preservation of the
worlds peace. No European nation
except Germany has any need of ac-
quiring new territory. England has
her problems in SouthAfrica and a great
territory for the overflow of her popu-
lation in her Indian possessions. If
Germany persists in her dog-n-the-
manger policy with reference to the
proposed arbitration, it would be a
very easy thing for the United States
to guarantee the claim of England, thus
eliminating that country from the
question, leaving Germany to at
tempt the, overthrow of the: Mon
roe Doctrine if she can. 1t is to be re-
membered in this connection that there
are such nations as Russia and France,
that Germany must take into cOnSidera-
tion. Russia is and France always has
been the friend of the United States.
Their attitude toward Germany is well
known. No, there will be no war, and
the Monroe Doctrine will stand.

II His courage, his patience, his supreme
faith inspired faith and hope in others.

revolution. All eyes were turned to him;
all faith was conferred in him. The people

.other generals, but the cause and Washing.
ton were one 1t was made incarrate in
aim, and if he died the cause died with him.
Equal to every emergency, quailing before
no duty, ambitious for country rather than
self, he won his way to immortal fame
He might have been dictator, or king, and
COULD have wrested all North America from
foreign dominion. He chose, rather, to be-
come servant of the people whom he loved
and whose government he established.
After brief administration, he declined to
serve longer as their chief magistrate, retir.
ing to the life of simple citizen of the re-
public. .S.
The glory of his name lies in rounded
life. Without being LUMINOSITY conspic.
nous in single gifts as Alexander or Napoleon,
the sum of his talents eclipses the glory OF
the others. The luster of his fame does not
dim with the years, but its brightness in.
creases with the added, developing results
of the work done by him. The name Of
liberty will have disappeared when the
glory of the fame of Washington shall have
been obliterated. Being dead, he continues
to speak in every added evidence of the
greatness of the country of his founding.

Words of Patriotism

ii ii UST now, when the birthday of the
e. illustrious Washington is about to
" be celebrated everywhere, the fol-
lowing words from his farewell address.
made public over century ago, will be ap.
propriate:
"Be united. Be Americans. The name
which belongs to you, in your national ca
pacity, must exalt the just pride of patri-
otism more than any appellation derived
from local determinations. Let there be
no sectionalism, no north, south, east or
west; you are all dependent one on another,
ind should be one in union. Beware of at
acks, open or covert, on the constitution.
Beware of the baneful effects of party spirit
ind of the ruin to which it's extremes must
lead. Do not encourage party spirit, but
Use every effort to mitigate and assuage it.
Keep the departments of government sep
arate, promote education, cherish the pub
lie credit, avoid debt Observe justice and
good faith toward all nations; have neither
passionate hatreds nor passionate attach
ments to any; and be independent political
ly of all. In one word, be a nation, be
Americans, and be true to yourselves"

galaxy Of human greatness. Yet it was as
soldier that his great qualities show most
respondent, since it was here that he was
most sorely tried and had most obstacles to
overcome.
Against him were opposed soldiers and
generals who had covered themselves with
| honors in battles with picked armies of, the
continent of Europe. Then as now the fore
most nation of Europe. Great Britain, had
Unlimited money and men at her command.
To meet these Washington had undisci-
pinned farmers, who were ill-fed, ill-paid
and whose families sorely needed them at
home.
Besides there were cabals formed by rival
commanders who sought his place, the in
action and but too frequently the incom-
petence of congress, the treason of Arnold,
the opposition of tories, and general dis
content, the result of long war.
In the midst of these trials Washington
moved with serene front. In that dread
winter at Valley Forge, when nearly one.
half of his army was barefoot and had to
sleep under ground, he preserved his cour-
age. No general who has lived overcame
so many obstacles as Washington.
Count D'Estang said there was not an
other man in the world who could have held
together that army at Valley Forge, ragged,
as it was, and hungry and houseless and
unpaid.
At no time in the seven years did Wash.
ington doubt of final victory With sublime
faith in the justice of the cause, he waited
and trusted and planned. He would &C.
cept no defeat. Compelled again and again
to decline battle because of the paucity of
his numbers and the limited supply of am
munition, he persisted in his purpose until
he wore out the enemy. More than once, by
the sheer force of his genius, he snatched
victory from defeat.

If we have a diversity of nationalities
among the pupils, so have we large
diversity among the teachers. OF the
S52 public school teachers listed in 1900,
there were 40 Hawaiians 81 Part-Ha-
waiianS, IT'S Americans, 40 British,
German, 20 Portuguese, 9 Scandinavian
and other foreigners. All of these
teach the English language. The Ha-
Waiians, part-HawaiianS, Portuguese
and Scandinavians have been brought
up in our own schools, and a good

as American and British many have

of them have been in the service for
many years, one dating her commence

abreast of the times. There is reg
ular schedule of salaries for teachers,
by which, if satisfactory, their salaries
are raised at stated intervals. Normal
Certificate teachers commence at $50
per month and rise to SIS per month in
the fifteenth year for assistants. The
salaries of principals vary according
to size of school, usually running from
$500 year to $1,000 after long service.
There are five schools with salaries of
$500 per month for supervising prin-
cipals, and the High School commands

The history of education on these
Islands extends farther back than most
people imagine. Between the years
1s25-27 a peculiar system of education
sprang up. which spread rapidly over
tie Islands to the remotest villages and
were schools for adults. The high
chiefs with their immediate attendants
were the first pupils. Each chief then
sent the most proficient of his retinue
to his different lands, and gave notice
to his tenants to attend school. The
whole population went to school. At
their best period there were 800 of these
schools and $1,000 pupils, mostly adults.
Reading and writing were the subjects
t.ught.
From 1880 to 1910 schools were es-
tsblished by the American missiona-
aries. In 1881 Lahainaluna Seminary
was founded. This establishment still
exists In 1886 school for girls was
established in Wailuku, which lasted
till 1S4S. A family school for the young
chiefs of high rank was opened in 1910
at Honolulu, with fourteen pupils, sup
ported by the Government, and the
English language was made the med
ium of instruction, this survives IN the
Royal School of the present day, which
is open to all classes and educates over
400 children. The Oahu Charity School
was founded by foreign residents in
1923, which became eventually Fort
Street School, and lastly developed into
our present High School, which occu-
pies the premises of late Princess Ruth,
and later of the High Chiefess Bernice
Pauahi Bishop to whom they came by
inheritance. The Roman Catholics,
wren firmly established on the Islands,
established schools throughout the
group in 1899.
All this however had not been gov
ernmental effort, but in 1S43 depart
ment of Public Instruction was organ
lied and placed under the charge of
minister of the crown. This position
was filled by w. Richards, and he held
| his death in 1S47. when the position

total number of pupils in our schools,
therefore, according to last report was
1887 and at the present time there
must be considerably over $4,000.
In territory such as this there is
bound to be a great diversity of ma
tionalities. The tables furnish ten dis
tinct nationalities, and one line labeled
ether foreigners which covers any that
are not specifically mentioned. Making
q comparison for the past decade will
show how the different nationalities
have changed from 1890 to 1900, and
also the large increase in the total of
children amounting to over fifty per
cent,

that any one taking an interest in the
Territory should understand that We
have a long educa tional growth, and
that some of our institutions date far
back into last century. After the es-
adjustment of the public school sys-
tenn there has been a steady advance
in education. When first started the
public schools were taught entirely in
the Hawaiian language. By the year
1873 siXty-one per cent were still taught
in Hawaiian. At the present time
English is the medium of instruction
in every school in the Territory.
As regulated by the Organic act the
present school officials consists of
Superintendent of Public instruction,
appointed by the Governor and ap-
p; owed by the Senate for a period of
four years, six Commissioners of Edu-
cation, of whom two can be women APP
pointed and approved on similar lines.
There are three inspectors and travel
ling Normal instructors appointed by
the Superintendent and Commissioners,
whose duties are to visit the schools OF
the Islands, instruct teachers, hold
teachers meetings and examinations,
and report to the Superintendent in de-
tail upon the work of each individual
teacher, and the collective work of the
schools. The office staff in Honolulu,
consists of a secretary, assistant sec
rotary, stenographer and book clerk.
The Territory is, for school purposes,
divided into twenty-three districts. In
each of these the department is repre-
sented by a school agent. This officer
is the mouth piece of the department
in the district and has authority to sus-
pend teachers for misconduct subject
TO the approval by the department. The
school agents have the supervision of
the buildings, and are expected to in.
form the department of any matters
which pertain to the advancement of
the schools. They serve virtually with
out pay. These appointments are made
by the Superintendent and the Com
missioners and are held during their
pleasureS Education is compulsory be-
tween the ages of six and fourteen and
each district has one or more truant
officers who look up children not in
school, and when necessary prosecute
the parents.
According to the last printed report
OF the superintendent there were 14O
schools supported by the Government,
S52 teachers of whom 112 were males
and 240 females and II, sol pupils, $3.50
males and 5,162 females. The figures
fot December, 1901 have not yet been
collected, they are taken as of Deem

office till perhaps ten days later. But
at a moderate estimate there are con-
siderably over $4,000 children in the
public schools, and there are many 70

teachers on the pay roll is now 374, and
the number of schools 143, while at
least ten schools have had from one to
two rooms added to them in order to
afford accommodation for the children
who are constantly demanding admit

The private schools number 80, have

1855 the department was remodeled and

of the Cabinet.
