AID TO EDUCATION.
Coelho moved to insert a new section
to read:
Section II. That new section be
inserted as section 1924, to read as
follows:
There shall and hereby is set apart
as a permanent appropriation, one
of the annual revenues of the customs
district of Hawaii, the same to be a
permanent endowment, the income
from which is to be devoted to the
public schools of the Territory for
teachers salaries and schol supplies"
The mover said that this emanated
from a member of the school fund COM
mission. 1t would hurt us nothing to
ask for it, There was need of the To-
cal revenues for appropriations for 9TH
er purposes. The territory was edu-
eating oriental children, who never In
Gods world would become American
citizens, yet it was duty which must
be performed.
Smith said there were three distinct
propositions originating with the
school fund commission. That intro
duced by Coelho provided for the in
come only of one-third of the customs
receipts to be applied to education. A
proposition handed to him PROVIDED
for the direct application of the one
third to the schools. While he doubted
the propriety of inserting any provi-
sion relating to the matter, which had
often been discussed heretofore, he
would submit the proposition for con-
sideration along with the other. 1t
was the following:
JOINT RESOLUTION.
BE 1t Resolved by the Legislature
of the Territory of Hawaii:
THAT in order to provide sufi-
cient fund for the proper support of
public schools and the furtherance OF
education in the Territory of Hawtii

America is requested to provide that

lected annually by the United States
upon foreign imports into the Terri

and made available for such purposes,
and that the delegate to congress from
the Territory of Hawaii is requested
! to present in the congress a bill to &C
complish such purposes"

type before urther consideration.
Coelho moved chat the committee
rise and report progress.
| Smith wanted to take up the deferred
I land laws section. Answering Coelho
J he urged that the senate to not wait
for the house.
Mccarthy thought that all the other
proposed amendments to the bill should
be disposed Of first. Otherwise the
/ senate would become balled up.
/ Smith contended that the other Sec
lions had nothing to. do with his one
