A POOR PLAN.
mainland

It will be a misfortune to the Islands
if the plans for carrying a so-called ma
tive village to Omaha, mature and are
carried out. If the hula dancers repre-
sented a true Hawaiian type, and the
models of grass houses represented
what Hawaiians now live in, and
their daily style of life, there might be
some reason for sending this exhibit
forward, but the idea gathered from
this display will be utterly erroneous,
and will only tend to impress upon
those who are unacquainted with the
Islands, the idea that we are an uncivil-
lied community, not very far removed,
if at all removed from the days when
Captain Cooke was killed at Kealake-
kua.
If there was some archaeological inter-
est in the presentation, there might be
excuse. But this show is going over to
Omaha to pander to poor class of Gu
riosity and to a taste for pruriency in
the representation of the hula. 1t is in
no spirit of prudery that these remarks
are written. People will seek what is
lowering and degrading whatever may
be said, and it is no business of anyone
here to consider the morals of people
away from here But it is doing a dis
tinct wrong to the people of this terri
tory to send an exhibition of this kind
over and to allow people to think that
it is in any way typical of life upon
these Islands.
There are no legal means, of course,
by which this show can be stopped; and
it is very questionable whether any ap-
peal on account of the harm it may do
us at this time, would have any effect
upon the organizers of the enterprise,
but the affair should be marked by the
disapprOval of all those who have the
slightest interest in the advancement
and future of the Islands. To a large
country of established reputation, there
can no injury be done by anything of
this kind, but we, at the present, are
struggling to impress our advancement
upon the people of the mainland. This
so-called Hawaiian village and it's con-
comitants are not calculated to do us
much good, and they may do us posi-
tive harm.

The position of affairs in the Philip
pines is difficult to understand. The
Filipinos are evidently as full of fight
as ever, and it is also evident that they
have assumed the aggressive once
more. The attack upon the Americans
in San Fernando shows that the enemy
is by no means cowed, and that his
troops can be brought up in consider
able numbers to the attack. Naturally
the effect of occupying a considerable
portion of territory and then withdraw
ing has had the result that might have
been expected, the FilipInos have taken
heart once more, and interpret the
withdrawal into a sign of weakness.
The Filipino cannot understand the
American, and it begins to look as if the
American did not understand the Fill
Pine. That our soldiers are brave, goes
without saying. That our officers are
skilled and gallant has been proved
over and over again, but-the problem
of the Philippines is very far from So
luton yet. There is undoubtedly much
the peace t-any price party has done
much to prolong the conflict, and the
presence of the Peace commissioners in
Manila, must also have had a deteri-
mental influence. There are times when
it is unwise to be pacific.

STANDARD OF INTELLIGENCE.

When one considers the condition of
the Islands from various aspects, the
reasons for our having a territorial
form of government are manifest. 1t is
only because people do not know us
that the idea we are not suited to a
territorial form is ever put forward.
Those who have given the subject any
study and have informed themselves
upon our affairs know that we are fit
ted. But there are numbers who are
not so informed who in spite of all that
has been written and said about the
Hawaiian Islands, remain ignorant Of
their real condition, and regard the
population as in the mass ignorant
While there may be a very small por-
ton that is educated and progressive.
out of a population at the last census
of 100000, there were 10000 children I'M
der six years of age, which from an
educational point of view, need not be
considered, though everyone of those
10000 children as soon as it reached the
age of six, would go to school and be
taught to speak, read and write Eng
fish. But rejecting these 10000 babies,
there were left $4,000 persons ranging
from six years to seventy years of age.
OF these $4,000, 10000 were able to read
and write. OF the 10000 who could read
and write, $4,000 were attending school,
and were below the age of voters. TAX
ing these $4,000 from the $4,000 we have
19, 900 left Wh0 might be of possible vot-
ing age and of these $4,000, $4,000 would
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1899-06-26

be able to read and write. If from the
10000, the Chinese and japanese are
taken, who would not have the fran
chise, the residue that would have the
franchise, would be population that
could read and write almost to a man.
while the growing population, which is
coming on to fill the blanks caused by
death, WILL owing to our system Of
compulsory education, constantly swell
the ranks of those who can read, write
and speak English
This is looking at the population in
the mass. But let us look at it in de-
tail. OF the Hawaiian population over
six years of age 1897 per cent can read
and write. OF the part Hawaiian popu-
lation 81 per cent; of the Americans Sc
per cent; of the British 95 per cent; of
the German SO per cent Or putting 1t
in another way: of Hawaiians and part
Hawaiians S52S per cent can read and
write; of Americans and Europeans
S5.65 per cent can do the same. Show
ing that the Hawaiian in the matter of
reading and writing is very nearly, If
not, quite the equal of his foreign
brother The literacy of the native Ha-
waiian is higher than would be found
in many of the territories on the main
land In fact, the comment of the sup
erintendent of the last census was that
those who are illiterate come from
abroad"
Now it is plain that such a popula-
~, ie 20
it's own affairs as any territory now
enjoying that privilege upon the main
land. Take it by and large, the popu-
lation is remarkably intelligent and
well-informed. 1t is insular, it Is true,
but it knows a great deal about the
outside world, far more than continent.
tai people do, as a rule. All the great
events of the world are know from Nil
hau to Kalae, the northern and south
ern limits of the Islands. The main
principals of government are under
stood. There is no such ignorance as is
to be found in Cuba, Porto Rico or the
Philippines.
Captain Younghusband in his recent
book upon the Philippines, comments
upon the ignorance of Aguinaldo even,
which went so far as to a question
whether Australia belonged to the Unit
ed States. There is no such ignorance
here. The name of the President of the
United States is as we'll know here as It
is on the mainland. The policy of the
government upon the great questions is
as likely to be discussed in Hawaii as it
is in Arizona, or any territory, and it
will be intelligently discussed too.
This is only one phase of the ques-
ton, but it is an important one. In
intelligence, the Hawaiian Islands can
claim to be on high plane, and from
that point of view, the population is
thoroughly capable of exercising the
privileges of a territorial form of gov
ment. 1t can do this equally will with
any territory now organized on the
mainland

School closing exercises We're pretty
generally carried out on Maui. There is
quite a controversy among educators as
to the benefits derived from public eX-
hibitions Of this kind. 1t is no real test
of the ability or progress of the pupils,
because the idlest little scamp may
show up brilliantly before a crowd, and
the studious boy may look a very
Ounce, through bashfulness and ner-
vousness. On the other hand, closing
exercises mark the ending of the school
year in a pleasant manner, and it is a
good thing to impress upon the child
mind the Importance of it's school work
by some public function. Like many
other things in this world closing exer-
cises may be overdone, and time which
should be devoted to other work of a
more solid and enduring character is
Civ en- unduly to them. But in the main,
closing exercises do make some impress
sion for good on the child-mind.
