It is conducted much on the same plan as the schools of the United States, but in addition to the regular high school course it has attached supplementary course of typewriting, stenography, bookkeeping and commercial law. The attendance includes Japanese, Chlnese' Kanaka and whites, all occupying the same rooms. Professor Scott surprlseu me by saying that of all the children the Japanese were the most apt ana obedient pupils. Their behavior ne declared, was exemplary Pro1essor Scott called my especial attention to the rooms when teachers were absent TOT several minutes. The same strict or der prevailed, and not a child looked up from his or her books. They are piaceo on, their honor and do not betray the trust. American children might Weli emulate the example of these salow- skinned young boys and girls or the tropics
 Speaking of the Inducements or the islands for young men, MT. StudnlczkA said: "There are no alluring prospects for professional men in the Hawaiiah islands. The number exceeds the oe- mand now Children born in the ls- lands are graduating from American colleges and universities every year, 1 and, being of good families, they return home at the completion of their courses 1 and open offices for the practice of thelr chosen professions, with all their na- tive prestige, home connections ana io- cal sympathies in their favor,
 surhis is where they have the advan- | mo states The board of health is compos- ed of thirty skilled physicians 1hey have offers daily from doctors WHO want to come to the islands ana experl- ment on the leper patients These pro- positions are turned down as tast as they are received, for there is no heann administration in the world more thor oughly posted on this one disease than the Hawaiian board, it having made a constant study of the lepers in the col onv on the Molokal islands. several hundred patients are confined to thls hospital and the islands will lay for- tune at any mans feet who offers cure for the terrible disease. But the subjects are treated humanely ana their last hours are made as comrort-
 ably as possible.
 "I cannot say too much for the Ha-

 as sugar, rice, coffee, bananas pipe-
 anples. skins, oranges, honey, canned
 gruit, curios and other things 1he
 chief industry is sugar conducted py
 joint stock corporations with caplta'

 nlanting is mainly in the hands Of, tne
 Chinese. and many natives enjoy hre
 of ease from leasing their plantations
 to inc Chinese. Coffee growing IS an
 nld industry in the islands, but It haE
 never raised itself to any magnitude
