to the written proposition. 1t was i'm
portant to have a medical examiner
for the girl pupils of the schools VINO

Islands. The Association was willing
to make the experiment and pay for
II.
Mr.. Dole thought II would lie right to
accept the kind offer Of the Associa-
ton, provided 1t were shown to he
practicable.
In answer to Or. Sloggett's inquiry
II there was any particular hurry, Mrs.
Coleman said DR.. Mary Barry was
talking about going away.
The difficulty Transporting in the dis.
Cussion was that the regulations re-
CURED government physicians to eX-
anime all scholars within six weeks
after the opening Of the school year.
To set the Associations appointee to
work Immediately would Involve the
Inconvenience and possibly annoyance
of second examination this year.
II was decided to take a fortnight for
further consideration, Mrs. Coleman
accepting an invitation to appear again
at that period.
Japanese Doctors.
4 report was received from DR.
Moore. concurred in by DR.. Cooper, on
| the recommendation from the board OF
medical examiners for licenses to three
japanese doctors presented at the pre-.
vious meeting. 1t reads as follows:
Il am Of the opinion that the board
of medical examiners is using its best
efforts to prevent the admission of un-
qualified men to practice medicine in
| this Territory.
Il also believe that they are serious
ly crippled in certain cases, 10 having
to employ an interpreter.
Il also advise the Board of Health
and coincide with them in their recon.
mcndations as to applicants to prastiye
medicine in this Territory"
1t came out in conversation that
there were from fifty to seven;y-ave
japanese physicians holding licenses
to practice in the Territory. Since
June %. 1901 eleven Japanese and nine
white doctors had been licensed. The
report was adopted
Pauoa Pigpen.
Dol, a japanese hog raiser in Pauoa
valley, sent in pathetic letter relative
to restrictions officer Tracy wanted to
place on his industry.
Mr.. Tracy made a statement to the
effect that the petitioner kept his
place in more sanitary condition than
others in the same neighborhood EG
had been trying to Cecure the removal
of pigpens from the environs of the
city. The permits were conditioned on
having the keeping Of hogs discontinue
ed at ten days notice.
Mr.. Dole regarded the question as
narrowed down to whethC< DOTS pig
ranch was dangerous to the public
health. Mr.. Tracy was an awtully
good officer and he would like to sup.
port him as far as the law allowed.
President Sloggett did not want any
discrimination liable to bring a food
of lawsuits from hog raisers.
Drs. Moore and Sloggett were ap.
pointed a committee to investigate the
matter and report, also to look into
the keeping of hogs along the Walki,I
beach road near Sheridan street Mr.
Tracy had mentioned the growth CT
the industry at the latter place as call
ing for the Boards attention.
