UNCLE SANS SAMOAN WARDS.
School Even for Them, Though They
Seem to Run Wild in the Woods.

Almost exactly in the middle of the
islands sprinkled over the south Pacific
Ocean to the eastward of Australia,
lies the Samoan group, four islands of
which Uncle Sam recently took under
his care.
On the largest of these, Tutuila, he
has built a naval station.
There are about 5000 people on these
islands and about thousand of them
are children.
The people are not black. They are
Of a light brown and yellow complex
ion. AS it is warm there all the time,
they do not bother themselves with
much clothing.
When the Americans came to the
islands they found that, while the chill
dren were apparently running wild in
the thick tropical woods. they knew
what an education meant and many of
them were attending school.
The children are intensely curious
about the United States and ask
strangers all sorts of questions con-
corning the great country of which they
are apart now. They call the COVER
nor. who is a naval officer sent out by
the United States. Your Susuga," and
they speak of the President as His
Afioga."
OF all the possessions Of the United
States the Tutuila group alone lies
south of the equator. Children there,
looking into the heavens at night be-
hold some of the consultations which
you see. but they also see many which
you can never see-the Southern Cross
and all the starry groups of the skies
OF the southern hemisphere while they
miss many which you see every night.
such as the Great Bear and the
Pleiades.
The children of Tutuila and Manua
are fond Of singing and reading aloud.
AS soon as a child of these islands
is old enough to work, he leaves school
and goes to help his father collect CO.
coanuts, the white meat of which is
dried and sold to traders under the
name of cOpra. The children also work
at farming on the small plantations
"here tropical fruits and vegetables
are raised for domestic use.
Their homes mostly are mere huts.

All the boys are good sailors. They

fathers when they are very young. and
by the time they are 10 years old thew
can handle the native boats with great
skill and deXterity.
