1.-The Educational Problem in Hawaii"
children of Hawaii said Dr. Townsend.
ARE especially diversified This is due
largely to the diversity of races with all
that 1t implies. The ends OF the earth
meet in Hawaii and no one race is pre-
dominant in numbers Present indications
are that the generation next 10 be born IN
Hawaii will consist OF white persons ana
Hawaiians in almost equal numbers and
large numbfier OF Asiatics These latter
will not be assim!ated with the Elements
of our future population and 80 form one
people, though il is possible that The
whites ard the Hawaiisns will thus unite
in spite of radical racial differences. The
problem involves at least two races of
men in nearly equal numbers living side
by side within our narrow boundaries
without uniting. Our Hawaiian civillza-
ton should be based upon broad charity
and universal good will
