Of questions he stated substantially the

Mr.. keliinoi H. mistaken when he
states that Inspected the waihee school
three years ago. for the reason that Il
was Only two years ago In July when
first came TO wa1uku as Government
physician. I did examine the school mt
the beginning OF the September term in
iNS and found no suspec; cases.
u ala not examine the school last Sep
tember-not because I had notathe time
but because In August was thrown from
my buggy and was so badly injured that
! was confined TO my bed for three
months. and was not able 10 resume my
practice till November. at which time I
vas still on Crutches. Being unable TO
examine any OF the schools In my district
IN september. I began the examination OF
them early In January. Before 1 had
reached the Waihee school. the plague
broke out In kahuiui. and was detailed
by the Board OF Health TO go and remain
al Kahului. which I did
so far as the examination OF the Wal
hee school. In September OF this year Is
concerned. the record which I have kept
shows quite plainly what have done
At my first visit I asked the principal
whether I should have the children un-
dressed and examined altogether. or
whether he preferred that I should exam
Inc them without undressing them. He
preferred the latter method. and. I'm def
erence to his wishes. I AID so. IL u not
necessary for ere TO state thu examina-
ton was n thorough one; yet. IN order
not 90 DO an injustice to any OF the chill
dfen. reserved my Judgment till could
have time to examine my records further
IN my office. This I did. and the action
which took was based on both examina-
ton and consideration. Mr.. Coke. the
principal. has since told me that he Is
perfectly satisfied with the manner In
which the Inspection OF his school was
made"

The pastor II working hard TO improve
the moral condition OF the Japanese. In
which effort he should meet the hearty
approval Of the people OF Walluku. III

The efforts which the japanese pui

Cnrnestness. and n a presage OF what tbs
Japanese nation will one day become.
