spanish NAP Wa. Wrong.

New York, Feb. 24.-Concerning the
concession to Spain of the islands of
Cavagan, Sulu and .Sibuto, the former
in the Sulu sea and the latter near the
coast of Borneo and both outside the
southern and western boundary lines
established by the treaty of Paris, the
Herald says that it was intended by
this government to take all of the is
lands belonging to Spain. The map
used by the commissioner was of Span
ish origin and has since been proved
defective.
Regret is expressed by naval officers
at thereturn of the islands. 1t is not
considered likely that Spain will retain
the small islands returned to her and
she will probably try to dispose of
them, perhaps to Germany.

native at this time. One element was
3rying to moderate his heathenish in
iulgences, trying to give him some idea
Df law and order; the other was con-
|stantly inviting the aborigine to cele-
brate with him the fact there is no law
this side Cape Horn" The war be-
tween the haeoles (whites) for the pos
session of the Hawaiian was a lengthy
one; but decency prevailed, and to-day
there is no safer, pleasanter land to live
lin than this one, "where the old men
and the children can sleep in the high
ways unmolested."
English influence, of course, must be
|reckoned in with the American in the
Regeneration of the country, but the
American is certainly the dominant
one. The majority of the teachers in
the schools are American, and the boys
and girls ire growing up with American
ideals; the text books are American;
the language, barring tram car"
|"beastly," and few other words, is
American. On the walls of the school
rooms hang pictures of American he
roes, onthe tables of the reading-rooms
are piled American papers and maga-
zines. The percentage of illiteracy
among those of Hawaiian blood is very
small; they are fond of reading news
papers and keep tolerably well-in-
formed concerning the worlds doings.
One cause for the quick advance of
Hawaii is that the climate is not ener-
waiting. In Cuba and Puerto Rico there
|are days when the laborer is forced to
yquit work for several hours on account
|of the blazing sunshine. When the
white man can do nothing but lie in his
hammock and smoke. In Hawaii, all
day long, six days in the week-save on
the holidays-the plodding Chinaman,
the stout-calved Japanese, the plump,
merry Jap women, the thin, energetic
Portuguese, the tanned white luna
(overseer), work out of doors, the trade
wind tempering the heat Of the sun and
making work possible and pleasant.
And yet Hawaii is the most tropical,
the most given to arouse enthusiasm in
the heart Of the traveller searching for
the beautiful spots Of the earth. The
trade-wind with its rough, warm touch,
the brilliant waters, the tall, old cocoas,
the graceful young palms, the giant
ferns, the glorious blossoming trees

ments burn with red and gold. the

byown man sit at the same table, their

Perhaps in no country inhabited by
the paleface is the color line drawn
less sharply. Perhaps in no country
is there less abject poverty.
In Hawaii there are rich and poor,
but the barefoot, calico-robed wahine
(native woman) holds her head as
high as any lady in the land; the
president and the boatboy are good
comrades. Many own carriages, but
no footmen in livery are seen. AS to
dress, anyone can make fairly brave

modest cottage adorned with ferns and
palms looks about as well as the more
pretentious mansion near by. And so

\ MERICANIZING the Hawaiian
IN islands began about hundred
= dred years ago, when Opukahaia
wen the hearts of some New England
FRS. OpukaLaia was engaged as sea-
man by Captain Brintnall. and
carried far, far from his island
home, far from his gods and his
PEOPLE, clear to the shores of
New England. Those old-time IIa-
waiians probably had the magic their
descendants possess, for it is a matter
! of history that the native boy made
many friends, who were inspired by
him to know more Of the land and peo-
|ple he represented.
Other island boys were brought to the
vhospit0ble land of America, and in 1917
there was u band of five attending a
school at Cornwall, Conn. Poor Opuka-
haia died at the school in 1918. but the
friends he had made still remembered
what he had told them Of the land of
his birth.
A year later little company of Amer
lean missionaries, with three of the
boys from the Cornwall school, set sail
for Hawaii. How they were received,
how they, and their children after them,
made their home there, is too well known
to need explanation. AS this article is
TO deal with the Americanizing rather
than the evangelizing Of the islands,
though the two are closely connected,
we shall say nothing about the latter,
put simply allude to the coming of the
missionaries as the step which resulted
|in Americas present possession of IIa-
'waii.
About the same time the missionaries
set foot on Hawaii the whaler and the
Trader added their quota to make up
the natives stock of knowledge con-
|cerning the white man. OF a truth, the
burden of the white man-to twist Kip
fling's words-was rather heavy on the

tions, let us say nothing of causes,
but contine our attention to results.
As recent sharp-eyed observer has
remarked in regard to Hawaii, one
cannot help being struck with the pa
ternal relation of the white man to
the native. The former recognizes the
latter to be simple and childish. and
often goes out of his way to guide him
and help fit him for practical affairs
