THE FRIEND.
AUGUST 8. 18 80.
From the Biennial Report of the President
of the Board of Education to the Legislative
Assembly of ISBO. we gather some interesting facts in regard to the School Statistics
of the Islands. There are 210 schools in
the country, viz : 150 Government Common
schools, 14 Government select schools,
taught in English ; and 46 Independent
ones, also taught in English. The total
of scholars in all these schools is 7,164
—4,048 boys and 11,116 girls. The nationality of the pupils (which shows the mixed
nature of our population) is as follows :
Hawaiians, 5.657; half-caste Hawaiian*,
955 ; Chinese, 85 ; Americans, 247 ; British, 90 ; Portuguese, 55 ; Germans, 37;
French, 2; other foreigners, 36. The sum
total expended by this Government for the
support of Common and Hawaiian and
English Schools during the biennial period
ending March 31, 1880, was *50,055.72—a
very respectable amount for a small country
like this. We conclude our brief notice of
this interesting report by copying the following paragraph by the President: " One
great defect of our Common school teachers
is the lack of inclination or ability to teach
their pnpils moral truths. Our public school
system should, like the Government which
administers it, be nonsectarianand national;
and the Board aim to maintain it free from
the influence of church or sect. But this
should not prevent the teachers from instructing their pupils in the principles of

to bring the pure Gospel before the minds

For several years he has been in habit of
visiting St. Petersburg nnd other cities, and
holding evangelical meetings among the
wealthy and influential members of society,
which have resulted in leading many to the
truth. This has irritated and enraged the
leaders of the Greek Church, whe have bitterly opposed the movement, and now they
have succeeded in procuring this severe interdict. Lord Radstock established a Bibleclass nt the house of General Pashkoff, from
which the leaven has spread, till now there

THE FRIEND, AUGUST,
A New Sailors' Institute.—We have
received a circular in regard to the inauguration of the "New British and American
Sailors' Institute," at Hamburg, which
was to take place on the 21st of June. We
quote a paragraph : " After a tea meeting,
which will begin at 5:30 (admission one
mark), the chair will be taken by Edward
Chaplin, Esq , Chairman of Committee, at 7
precisely. The Rev. E. W. Matthews, Secretary to the British and Foreign Sailors'
Society, London, the Rev. Dr. Damon, of
the American Seamen's Friend Society, and
others, are expected to speak, (admission
free.")
The Chinese steamer Ho Chung is daily
expected, with some four or five hundred
Chinese passengers. These frequent additions to our population of Asiatic heathen
are increasing the responsibility that rests
upon Christians to try and do something
more than has yet been done towards im-
parting to them the light of Gospel truth.
The presence of such a large and rapidly increasing pagan element among the Christianized but weak Hawaiians, must give rise
to grave apprehensions of evil consequences.
We need more Chinese colporteurs to labor
among their countrymen, and an American
missionary speaking Chinese, as suggested
by the Hawaiian Board, would find an ample field for labor. From whence shall we
look for one, and who will support him ?
We have received the Annual Report
of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association
for 1880. The Association held its sessions
in this city during the first week in June,
and the pamphlet of the proceedings and
reports is extremely interesting under the
different headings—" Abstract of minutes,"
"Annual Report,; reportof the Board, including—•' Home Evangelization," "Evangelical
Educational Institutions,"'Foreign Missions'
Treasurer's Report and report of the '-North
Pacific Missionary Institute." The contributions from the Hawaiian Islands during
the year have amounted to the sum of
(5,699 91, and from the groups of islands to
the westward, §342.75; total from the
North Pacific Islands, $6042 66, a decrease
from last year of $878.53. Sabbath afternoon services in the Gilbert Islands language have been regularly maintained in this
city, and the attendance is about fifty. Rev.
M. Maka, a returned Hawaiian missionary,
has also labored among this people at Koo-
"
"
lau and elsewhere. E. P. Adams, Esq., at
Kilauea, Kauai, has built a church for them
on his plantation and offers to contribute to
the support of a pastor. In regard to the

sand in these Islands, we learn that the
Board has no commissioned Chinese laborers, but it has aided in Chinese evangelization, by making a grant for Ho Ah Pui, on
Kauai, of $100, the balance of his support,
some 8:250, being raised by Christian friends
on Kauai; another grant of $100 to the foreign church at Makawaoand Haiku toward
the support, of SatFan, and one of JlOOto the
Young Men's Christian Association for Sit
Moon. Much thought has been given by
the Board to the question, whether it be expedient to secure the services of an American missionary speaking Chinese, to labor
among the Chinese in this group, As yet
they have come to no decision. Aid from
the American Board for such a man can
hardly be expected. Are our planters, and
Christian friends of the Chinaman, ready to
put their shoulders to the wheel?" It
striks us that the interests of planters should
prompt them to heed this appeal. Tha
news from the different missions in the Pacific Islands, though somewhat unfavorable
in some of the Islands is, on the whole, encouraging. The French Governor of the
Marqueses has given his J influence in favor
of education, and for the suppression of intemperance, whereby the missionaries have
been much cheered. There are 40 churches
in Micronesia, under the care of the Board,
with a membership of 2,904, to which has
been added by profession 447 during the
past year.

EDITOR ABROAD-No. 5.
A MONTH IN THE OLD COUNTRY.
Five days in Wales, twelve days in Scotland and thirteen days in England, have
afforded us, with the rare facilities at hand,
an excellent opportunity for seeing portions
of this goodly land in the opening springtime, when trees and hedge-rows, primroses
and butler-cups were just putting forth their
peculiar charms. The weather has been
most favorable for tourists, not too cool for
pleasant out-door excursions, with but little
rain, and if the sky has not been blue, the
clouds have not been an unpleasant gray.
Our last was written from Wales, since
that we crossed from the West to the East
of England, passing up through the beautiful lake region on to Scotland, arriving in
Edinburgh on the 20th of April. We were
kindly entertained at the elegant mansion of
R. A. Macfie, Esq., during our sojourn in
Scotland, and his generous hospitality will
long be cherished in grateful remembrance.
The familiar acquaintance of our host with
all
matters of local and historic interest, was

in descriptions of scenery, or dwell upon
events of historic interest. Amid so much
to occupy our time and attention, we were
pleased to be reminded of the noon-day pray-
er meeting, where we met learned professors
and clergymen of various churches in the city.
It was pleasant to learn from so many most
reliable sources, that the visit of our countrymen, Mr. Moody and Mr. Sankey, left its

During the past month our citizens have
had a rare treat in attending the Montague

realized. We have heard many of the
leading singers in the United States, but we
can truly say that we have not enjoyed any
of them so thoroughly as we have these

Phonetic spelling is gradually being
more and more used throughout the United

Rev. Dr. Hemphill returned to San

We are glad that the Advertiser of last
Saturday published the names of the four
native members of the Legislature who have
acquitted themselves so honorably during
this present session. They are certainly
true Hawaiians and lovers of their country.
We wish we could say the same of otheis
of the native members of the Assembly.
Mr. Joshua G. Dickson, who died on the
11th ult., was a man of sterling character,
the highest integrity, and one that the community can ill afford to lose. He was a
kind father, a loving husband, and one
whom any person would have been proud to
have had as a friend. His memory will
ever be tenderly cherished by all who knew
him.
The exhibition of the Royal school took
place at the Lyceum, Monday evening, the
19th ult. .The house was filled with an appreciative audience. The exercises consisted of singing and declamations, which
were well rendered. The boys pronounced
the English language very tcell, and Mr.
Mackintosh is entitled to great credit for his
careful training of them. No one knows so
well as the teacher how hard it is to teach
native boys another language.
We are sorry that the Legislature has
granted a subsidy to the proposed Chinese

opened a door for an unlimited amount ot

THE FRIEND.
AUGUST 8. 18 80.
From the Biennial Report of the President
of the Board of Education to the Legislative
Assembly of ISBO. we gather some interesting facts in regard to the School Statistics
of the Islands. There are 210 schools in
the country, viz : 150 Government Common
schools, 14 Government select schools,
taught in English ; and 46 Independent
ones, also taught in English. The total
of scholars in all these schools is 7,164
—4,048 boys and 11,116 girls. The nationality of the pupils (which shows the mixed
nature of our population) is as follows :
Hawaiians, 5.657; half-caste Hawaiian*,
955 ; Chinese, 85 ; Americans, 247 ; British, 90 ; Portuguese, 55 ; Germans, 37;
French, 2; other foreigners, 36. The sum
total expended by this Government for the
support of Common and Hawaiian and
English Schools during the biennial period
ending March 31, 1880, was *50,055.72—a
very respectable amount for a small country
like this. We conclude our brief notice of
this interesting report by copying the following paragraph by the President: " One
great defect of our Common school teachers
is the lack of inclination or ability to teach
their pnpils moral truths. Our public school
system should, like the Government which
administers it, be nonsectarianand national;
and the Board aim to maintain it free from
the influence of church or sect. But this
should not prevent the teachers from instructing their pupils in the principles of

without saying anything, you may be permitted to indulge in any wish you fancy or

it will certainly be realized. The trouble
however is, that you can never fulfill your

to bring the pure Gospel before the minds
and hearts of the better classes in Russia.
For several years he has been in habit of
visiting St. Petersburg nnd other cities, and
holding evangelical meetings among the
wealthy and influential members of society,
which have resulted in leading many to the
truth. This has irritated and enraged the
leaders of the Greek Church, whe have bitterly opposed the movement, and now they
have succeeded in procuring this severe interdict. Lord Radstock established a Bibleclass nt the house of General Pashkoff, from
which the leaven has spread, till now there
are fifteen similar meetings in St. Petersburg that are sending out a Gospel influence over the city and even into'the provinces. The new converts are called by the

THE FRIEND, AUGUST,
A New Sailors' Institute.—We have
received a circular in regard to the inauguration of the "New British and American
Sailors' Institute," at Hamburg, which
was to take place on the 21st of June. We
quote a paragraph : " After a tea meeting,
which will begin at 5:30 (admission one
mark), the chair will be taken by Edward
Chaplin, Esq , Chairman of Committee, at 7
precisely. The Rev. E. W. Matthews, Secretary to the British and Foreign Sailors'
Society, London, the Rev. Dr. Damon, of
the American Seamen's Friend Society, and
others, are expected to speak, (admission
free.")
The Chinese steamer Ho Chung is daily
expected, with some four or five hundred
Chinese passengers. These frequent additions to our population of Asiatic heathen
are increasing the responsibility that rests
upon Christians to try and do something
more than has yet been done towards im-
parting to them the light of Gospel truth.
The presence of such a large and rapidly increasing pagan element among the Christianized but weak Hawaiians, must give rise
to grave apprehensions of evil consequences.
We need more Chinese colporteurs to labor
among their countrymen, and an American
missionary speaking Chinese, as suggested
by the Hawaiian Board, would find an ample field for labor. From whence shall we
look for one, and who will support him ?
We have received the Annual Report
of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association
for 1880. The Association held its sessions
in this city during the first week in June,
and the pamphlet of the proceedings and
reports is extremely interesting under the
different headings—" Abstract of minutes,"
"Annual Report,; reportof the Board, including—•' Home Evangelization," "Evangelical
Educational Institutions,"'Foreign Missions'
Treasurer's Report and report of the '-North
Pacific Missionary Institute." The contributions from the Hawaiian Islands during
the year have amounted to the sum of
(5,699 91, and from the groups of islands to
the westward, §342.75; total from the
North Pacific Islands, $6042 66, a decrease
from last year of $878.53. Sabbath afternoon services in the Gilbert Islands language have been regularly maintained in this
city, and the attendance is about fifty. Rev.
M. Maka, a returned Hawaiian missionary,
has also labored among this people at Koo-
"
"
lau and elsewhere. E. P. Adams, Esq., at
Kilauea, Kauai, has built a church for them
on his plantation and offers to contribute to
the support of a pastor. In regard to the
Chinese, of whom there are some ten thou-
1880.
sand in these Islands, we learn that the
Board has no commissioned Chinese laborers, but it has aided in Chinese evangelization, by making a grant for Ho Ah Pui, on
Kauai, of $100, the balance of his support,
some 8:250, being raised by Christian friends
on Kauai; another grant of $100 to the foreign church at Makawaoand Haiku toward
the support, of SatFan, and one of JlOOto the
Young Men's Christian Association for Sit
Moon. Much thought has been given by
the Board to the question, whether it be expedient to secure the services of an American missionary speaking Chinese, to labor
among the Chinese in this group, As yet
they have come to no decision. Aid from
the American Board for such a man can
hardly be expected. Are our planters, and
Christian friends of the Chinaman, ready to
put their shoulders to the wheel?" It
striks us that the interests of planters should
prompt them to heed this appeal. Tha
news from the different missions in the Pacific Islands, though somewhat unfavorable
in some of the Islands is, on the whole, encouraging. The French Governor of the
Marqueses has given his J influence in favor
of education, and for the suppression of intemperance, whereby the missionaries have
been much cheered. There are 40 churches
in Micronesia, under the care of the Board,
with a membership of 2,904, to which has
been added by profession 447 during the
past year.

A MONTH IN THE OLD COUNTRY.
Five days in Wales, twelve days in Scotland and thirteen days in England, have
afforded us, with the rare facilities at hand,
an excellent opportunity for seeing portions
of this goodly land in the opening springtime, when trees and hedge-rows, primroses
and butler-cups were just putting forth their
peculiar charms. The weather has been
most favorable for tourists, not too cool for
pleasant out-door excursions, with but little
rain, and if the sky has not been blue, the
clouds have not been an unpleasant gray.
Our last was written from Wales, since
that we crossed from the West to the East
of England, passing up through the beautiful lake region on to Scotland, arriving in
Edinburgh on the 20th of April. We were
kindly entertained at the elegant mansion of
R. A. Macfie, Esq., during our sojourn in
Scotland, and his generous hospitality will
long be cherished in grateful remembrance.

We are very sorry that Mr. Preston's
Liquor Biil was rejected by the Assembly.
The bill was a good one, and ought to have
received enough support to have passed it.
Rev. Dr. Hyde gave a very interesting
and instructive sermon on"the flood," in
the Bethel church, on the 25th ult. We
learned many new facts regarding the flood
that we never knew before.
We regret to learn of the illness of
Mr. Jas. B. Castle. He has been suffering
from an attack of malarial fever. At last
accounts he was improving. We hope soon
to see him well and strong again.
During the past month our citizens have
had a rare treat in attending the Montague
concerts at Kawaihao church. The expectations of the public have more than been
realized. We have heard many of the
leading singers in the United States, but we
can truly say that we have not enjoyed any
of them so thoroughly as we have these
here.
Phonetic spelling is gradually being
more and more used throughout the United
States. A large number of teachers and
others in some of the leading Eastern colleges write entirely in the new way. We
confess that we approve ov the nu wa.

Hoapili Baker's Liquor Bill and the
Opium Bill, have both passed by the Legislature during the past month, and now only
await the Kings signature to become laws of
the land. A petition signed by over a hundred of the ladies of our city has been presented to His Majesty, respectfully asking
him to with-hold his royal signature from
both bills. The Chamber of Commerce
has sent in a similar petition. We await
with anxiety for the result.
Rev. Dr. Hemphill returned to San
Francisco, per steamer Australia, the sth
ult. He preached twice in Fort street
church the day previous, and delivered two
most eloquent sermons, that will not soon
be forgotten by those who were fortunate to
hear them. We cannot but hope that good
will result from them to our community.
If Dr. 11. could visit us two or three times
a year and preach to us, it would undoubtedly do a great deal of good.

We are glad that the Advertiser of last
Saturday published the names of the four
native members of the Legislature who have
acquitted themselves so honorably during
this present session. They are certainly
true Hawaiians and lovers of their country.
We wish we could say the same of otheis
of the native members of the Assembly.
Mr. Joshua G. Dickson, who died on the
11th ult., was a man of sterling character,
the highest integrity, and one that the community can ill afford to lose. He was a
kind father, a loving husband, and one
whom any person would have been proud to
have had as a friend. His memory will
ever be tenderly cherished by all who knew
him.
The exhibition of the Royal school took
place at the Lyceum, Monday evening, the
19th ult. .The house was filled with an appreciative audience. The exercises consisted of singing and declamations, which
were well rendered. The boys pronounced
the English language very tcell, and Mr.
Mackintosh is entitled to great credit for his
careful training of them. No one knows so
well as the teacher how hard it is to teach
native boys another language.
We are sorry that the Legislature has
granted a subsidy to the proposed Chinese
line of steamers. By«so doing they have
opened a door for an unlimited amount ot
Chinese males to come to our islands, and
coming as passengers as they mostly will,
nothing can prevent their coming in large
quantities, anil we are vn- ,ikely to get
more of the bad, than the good. These islands will become a Chinese colony yet, if
no measures are taken by the Legislature or
