Concerning the interesting topic OF
the nationality of pupils in the public
schools, Territorial Superintendent of
Schools A. T. Atkinson writes as fol-
lows in the annual report of Governor
Carter to the Secretary of the Interior:
1t must be understood that in class
ing the nationaiities of pupils or in di-
yiding them by nationaIitfes a very
large number of them who are not so
classed should be classed as Americans,
it having been a custom in the islands
to divide the population according to
descent, even though the birth have
occurred on the islands. Thus the third
or fourth generation of British resi-
dents of the islands for that length of
time are still classed as British, though
the last generation occurring after an
nexation would make them American
citizens. OF course, all Hawaiian and
part Hawaiians are American citizens,
and a very large number of the young
Asiatics have the same claim.
There is a tendency to complain be-
cause Asiatics are educated in our pub
lie schools and the complaint would be
justifable if we We're educating those
who were not, in the mass, to be voters
in the future. The bulk of the Asia
ties that are being educated in our pub
lie schools are those who will become
voters in the future. 1t has been the
aim of the department to get rid of
such Asiatics in the schools as simply
go there to learn English at an advanc-
ed age. say 16 to II, and the success of
the department in this direction has
been satisfactory In some cases teach
ers like 10 take in the elder Asiatics
because they are very amiable and
make good students but this has been
very sternly depressed. 1t is necessary
that future voters should be educated
and trained by American methods;
otherwise they will be unable to vote
intelligently. What we have to do here
is what is being done on the mainland,
and thar is, assimilating a heteroge-
neous population and making Amer
leans of them.
The number of Hawaiians of unnlixed
blood in the schools has remained
stationary, though there is
81 slight decrease In 1902 there were
4 903; in the report for 1903 the number
was 4,ss3; the present year the number
is 4.877, only a decrease of 26 during
the two years. On the other hand,
there has been a considerable increase
in the number of part Hawaiians; that
is, children whose parentage is partly
Hawaiian and partly some other ma
Iionalfty Last year they were reported
as 3,018; this year they are reported as
]. 234, an increase of PIG. In course Of

Oddities of the Human Body.

The two sides of a persons face
are never alike. The eyes are out
of line in two cases out of five, and
one eye is stronger than the other
in seven persons out of ten. The
RIGHT ear is also, as a rule, higher
than the left. Only one person in
fifteen has perfect eyes, the largest
percentage of defects prevailing
among fair haired people. The small
est interval of sound can be better
distinguished with one ear than with
both. The nails of two fingers never
grow with the same rapidity, that of
the middle finger growing the fast
est. while that of the thumb grows
slowest. In ffty-four cases out of
a hundred the left leg is shorter
than the right. The bones of an av-
erage human male skeleton weigh
twenty pounds, those of woman
are six pounds lighter.
