CORRECTED. FIGURES.

The revised and. final statistics of the
population of the United States are tc
hand. They make the total popula-
ton of the United States 76,3O3, 1857
Among the corrections Alaska which
was estimated at $4,000 is now credited
with 1882 Inhabitants. The census
taking of Alaska was by far the hard
est task under the charge of the Blu
reau. On the basis of these corrected
figures there was an increase in the
total population during the decade 1891
1900 of $3.50, 631 or q per cent.
The largest per cent of increase is in
the Western division, viz: 31.9 per cent.
The smallest percentage of increase
for any state is Nebraska with O.3 per
deduced as further information comes
along. The largest percenta~e of in
crease for any state is shown by Idaho,
which can claim 1927 per cent. But the
rate of increase of states is not in it
along side of some of the territories.
Oklahoma has increased 4O7.6 per cent
Indian Territory has gone up 117.6 per
cent, Alaska 9S.4 per cent and Hawaii
I'll per cent. Only one state in the
Union fell off. Nevada shows loss Of
1O.6 per cent Of it's population in ten
years.
The present area of the United States
including Alaska and Hawaii is 1922, =
1913 square miles. But for purposes of
comparison Alaska and Hawaii are ex-
cluded, and the area is REGARDED as
1925, 900 square miles, or the same as it
had been since 1858 till the Present ex-
pansion came.
1t is interesting to note the gradual
increase Of the United States from the
date of the first census, At that time
the country had an area of S27,844
square miles, and there were 40 inha-
bitants to the square mile. This fig
ure was increased to sc under the CEN
sus of 1900. The census of 1870 how
ever, saw the area dealt with increas-
ed to 1,999,775 square miles by the
Louisiana purchase. and much of the
new territory covered, such as Illinois,
Indiana, Louisiana, Michigan, Mssis-
sippi and Missouri, included districts
only sparsely settled at that time.
Those territories, were not admitted to
statehood until some years after. 1t is
not to be wondered at, therefore, that

THE NORMAL SCHOOL.

The Summer Session of the Normal
School will commence on Monday, and
continue for two months. This gives
an opportunity for young teachers who
are backward to improve themselves
and TO gain an insight into the plans
laid down by the officers of the Board
of Education for the general educa-
tional work of the country. Our own
Normal School is producing very valua-
bile teachers from among our own peo-
pie 1t has not reached its ideal by any
means. 1t is hampered by an inadequate
building, but it is well equipped as re-
CARDS teaching force and is one of the
most valuable institutions that we
have.
At the end of December of last year
sixty-eight persons had received diplo-
mas and certificates from the Honolulu
Normal and Training school. OF these
twelve were males and fifty-six We're
females. There We're at that date fifty
of these diploma and certificate holders
employed by the Department of Edu-
cation, making about one eighth of the
teaching force of the Territory. From
the reports of the school inspectors the
young women is of a. very satisfactory
nature, A large proportion of them are
either Hawaiians or of mixed Hawai-
ian blood, there have also been several
Portuguese who have thus prepared
themselves for the profession of teach
ing.
OF the eighteen persons who passed
through the, school successfully and
were not in the employ in December,
one male and one female had died. One
male and twelve females retired from
the profession of teaching, one male is
employed in a private school and two
females are on leave of absence on the
mainland, where they are studying
higher branches
1t may and in fact will be necessary
to get teachers from the mainland for
some time to come but the bulk of
our teachers should come from our OWL
people. We should not depend upon
the outside, we should depend upon
ourselves. Young persons who are
brought up here and are thus trained il
our own Normal School for the specia
kind of work which is required by oui
peculiar social conditions, are better
adapted to meet these conditions thar
very many whom the Board of Educa.
ton has had to employ in times past
and may have yet to employ.
The Normal School work, however, is
only beginning. 1t will grow and those
who attend the Normal School will
grow mentally also. They will not be
satisfied with only the Normal train
ing, but they will want a university
training as well, and time will come
when we shall have a highly cultivat-
ed set of young men and young women
self devoted to education, facing our
educational problems with a better
knowledge of what they mean than the
teacher who comes from abroad. We
shall have work from within instead
of work from without, it will indigo
neOus and not exotic. To this the Nor
NAL School is a step, and a very great
one. 1t is an institution that deserves
support.

the number of inhabitants per square
This was increased to AS i'm 1920 and to
GA i'm 1880 in spite of the fact that the
area was increased under the census of
the former year to 2.059,043 by the in
clusion of the Floridas purchased from
Spain and the new territories included
in the census calculations for density
such as Alabama and Arkansas in 1926
and Florida in 1880, belonged to the
sparsely peopled class.
The census of 1910 saw the number
of inhabitants per square mile increas-
ed to S.4, but in 1850 it fell back to 7.9,
owing to the fact that between 1910 and
1850 there was a large acquisition of
territory from Mexico, which increased
the gross area of the United States to
2,9S0959 square miles. The Gadsden
purchase in 1853 increased the area to
3,025,60O square miles, which constitutes
the present area of the country, ex-
elusive of the territories of Alaska and
Hawaii The territorial changes since
1850 have not been sufficient to prevent
a constant increase in the figures as to
density. and the number of inhabitants
per square miles has increased from 7.e
in 1850 to 1913 in 1860, 1873 in 1870, 17.2
in 1880, 21.2 in 1890 and 25.6 in 1900.
Leaving out of account the District
of Columbia, which in effect comprises
the city of Washington, the most
densely settled state in the Union is
Rhode Island, which in 1900 had 407 in
habitants to the square mile. Massa-
chusetts comes second, with 349; New
Jersey, with a little more than $50, be-
ing third, and Connecticut, with some
what more than 1877, being fourth. Only
four other states had more than 100
inhabitants to the square mile, namely,
New York, with 1926 inhabitants;
Pennsylvania, with 140.1; Maryland,
with 1905, and Ohio, with 1O2 to the
square mile. At the other extreme are
to be found such states and territories
as Idaho, with only 10 inhabitants to
the square mile; Montana, with II;
New Mexico, with 1.6; Arizona, with
IL; Wyoming, with not quite l person
to the square mile; Nevada, with but
four tenths of l, and Alaska, with only
one-tenth of l. Hawaii, with an aver
age of not quite "a persons to the
square mile, is, it will be seen, not very
far from the average for the United
States as a whole.
One might go on discussing these
figures ad infinitum, they show, as
nothing else can show, the development
of our country, and the relative value
of various portions of it. Among the
newer portions Hawaii shows up re-
markedly well, and we should be proud
of the fact.

The two boat clubs of the city now
stand on a level as regards the cham
pionship banner. The Myrtle club won
it in 1896, 1897 and 1899, the Healani club
has captured it for the years 1898, 1900,
1901. This is a satisfactory condition
from a sportsman's point of view and
will help to continue a healthy emula-
ton. There can be no doubt that the
quality of the oarsmen is improving,
and that a more perfect style of rae
ing shell is being adopted. The racing
shell used by the Healani's was Anne
rican built, having been constructed in
Boston and sent out by rail and steam
er in thirteen days. So an American
boat won the honors on an American
holiday.

The popularity of Pacific Heights was
demonstrated on the Fourth, when 1000
people went up by the electric railroad,
The main attraction from the heights is
the lovely view coupled with bracing
to the Pail, there would be just as great
a traffic, and probably a greater in
that direction. Means of communica-
ton quickly are what the city needs.
1t also needs the abolishing of the pres

A theater full of yelling Celestials
cannot be a very pleasant place, es-
pecially when they are bowling threats
against the Fan Qui for having, as
they though, cheated them. The Fly
ing Jordans got some idea of the Boxer
outbreak, and no doubt thought Prince
of the hordes. The next time the troupe
shows in a Celestial place of amuse-
ment the members may not come off
as easily.
