Lecture at Kamehameha.

The Hou. Fred W. l>eckley gave a very ialk laso. £>iui».Lav evening to the \oiing oiudeiu-. ot Kanichameha on "The Principle ot Local Self-Government and the Formulation ot Laws." The young men paid marked attention during the whole of the discourse, and it was evident that the} full} realized —perhaps for the first tithe—what glorious opportunities, as American citizens, for the progress and advancement of their own native land he before them. We congratulate the facility of that institution in having the opportunity of hearing such a bright and prominent young Hawaiian leader, whose opinions, from practical experience, arc well worthy the consideration of the many embryo Ha-waiian-American citizens that* are now at Kamehameha, and who sooner or later will have to assume all the responsibilities of citizenship, which were so pointedly explained to them by one of their own countrymen. ! If a series of lectures such as the Kamehameha boys had the good fortune to hear last Sunday were given from time to time in our public schools instead of the useless fads and notions that our mutual admiration Board of Education are" having for the edification of our coming citizens, with what happy confidence would we look forward to the time when intelligence, progress and pure Americanism would be the watchwords of our body politic.
