An examination of the school report

in Hawaiian have long been abolished,
all instruction now being in the En-

TUE SERMON DRAMA

A sermon drama on the lines of 1.-The

made an instantaneous hit and deserved
ly SO. 1t is one of the best productions
of its kind that has ever been given
in this city. 1t is a strong piece and
rivets the attention from start to finish.
The scenes of American rural life are
perfect in their rustic simplicity and
naturalneSs. The end of the first act
with its Illuminated cross was very
effectively worked while the scene in
the den where Grace is saved by the
minister was also we'll worked up as
the end of the third act in the Jerry

| last fiscal year, amounting to $26. 22s.-
| 204, the item of sugar alone was $25,-
| 80, 125. Thus it will be seen that there
| was less than S1,000.000 worth of all
| other domestic merchandise exported
| to the United States and foreign coun-
| tries. There are about 10000 acres
| planted in sugar on the Islands today.
| There are seventy-one plantations in
| all which are scattered over the four
islands of Hawaii, Maui, Oahu and
Kauai. These plantations produced
last year 1881 tons of raw sugar as
against 166,432 tons ten years ago-a
gain of 271, $50 tons since the fall of
/ the monarchy.
HAWAIIAN CANE IS RICH.
1t is said that the cane grown in
Hawaii is much richer than the prod
uct of Cuba and the United States.
1t takes about ten tons of Cuban cane
to produce a ton of sugar while eight
tons of the Hawaiian stalks will easily
yield that amount. If the price re-
mains fair it is expected that the total
yield of these Islands will eventually
reach 100000 tons annually. Hon.
Carol d. Wright, United States Com
missioner of Labor, in a report on
Hawaii. declared that it ought to af-
ford homes for half a million people.
However, if sugar remains the one
staple the Island will have no great
stability but will suffer numerous ups
and downs according to the variations
of the market.
What is needed is a diverSification
of crops. Successful experiments have
been made with the Yucatan Fibre
plant, variety of cactus called sisal,
which can be grown on semi-arid land.
This fibre is used in making rope and
binder twine as we'll as several kinds
of brushes. Over 1O0,0 900 pounds of this
fibre has already been produced in
year. 1t sold in San Francisco for
about eight cents per pound, netting
the growers about $500 per acre.
THE SPELL OF THE TROPICS.
The people of Hawaii have their
problems to solve. but they will doubt
less be able to work them out. 1t is a
place where a home is worth striving
for. He who sojourns here a while is
ever 10th to leave. The fair skies and
bright flowers and brilliant shrubs Of
fer charm that grows the while, and
makes other less favored chimes dull
in comparison. Only those who know
the spell of the drowsy tropics can
understand the hold they have upon
the fancy. No pictured palm can
wave and drone its evening anthem
like the one that has its roots in the
sand and its crest in the wind: no
painters brush can catch the majesty
of the mountain peak at the sunset
hour: and no juggler of words can
impart the zest that rides with the
spray. of the southern sea. To know
it for day is to know it forever. It's
pleasing memory never fades.

ten as a return for passes or any sort
of favors. Too many newspaper cor
respondents travel around in a COM
plimentary capacity and work their
way by exploiting the interests of
those who entertain them. 1 pay my
way and say whatever / like, aiming
square thing. l am glad of an oppor-
tunity to say this so that my readers
may know my policy in this respect.
The Hawaiian Islands are part of the
American Union and it pleases me to
say a good word in their behalf es-
pecially when they are so deserving
of it.
WE ARE CIvILIZED.'
Hawaii is not generally appreciated
in other respects. Few visitors are
prepared to find such an advanced CIV
ilization. 1t is a great mistake to
suppose that we have here merely a
lot of naked kanakas, the remnant of
a monarchy, a volcano. and a few SUI
gar plantations. Honolulu has gen.
tleman's club which has had its doors
open for more than fifty years; it has
a college which recently held it's six
tieth anniversary; in its public schools
there are more than six hundred teach
ers, and the foundation of the system
dates back to 1S41. It is a fact not
generally known that in the early
days of the Pacific Coast, children
were sent from California to Honolulu
TO be educated
This is quite in contrast to the stu
h.
Philippines at the beginning of Yankee
rule. There the public school was I'M
known until we introduced it, and we
took over a population the bulk of
which was as dirty it was ignorant.
American influence predominated in
the Hawaiian group for SO many years
that it was in reality a ready made
colony when the time came to annex
it. The fine residences, modern store
buildings. splendid roads. and clean,
well hammered people will prove a
revelation to all who visit the Islands
for the first time.
STATISTICS WORTH KNOWING.
Some vital statistics may not be out
of place here. The distance between
San Francisco and Honolulu is 20S9
miles. From Honolulu to Yokohama
it is S445 miles, from Manila to Homo
lulu it is 400 miles. The total area
of the seven principal Islands of the
Hawaiian group is 6449 miles. and
their total population is $4,000 The
names of the Islands given in the or
der of their size, are Hawaii, Maui
Oahu, Kauai. Molokai. Lanai and
Niihau Honolulu has about 10000 in
habitants. 1t is located on the Island
of Oahu
The returns of the last census show
that of the entire population 1921
were native born and $50 foreign
born. There We're 54.141 Hawaiians
third of whom We're of mixed blood;
1918 white people; 25.767 Chinese;
Sill Japanese; and 233 negroes 1t
is estimated that since the census the
arrivals and departures of japanese
have about balanced, and that the
number of Chinese has decrea sed on
account of the federal exclusion law
Several thousands of Porto Ricans
have arrived in the meantime, and
the number of Americans has increas-
ed somewhat. The number of white
people in Honolulu is large as shown
by comparison with those residing in
the City of Mexico. The last named
has a population of over 100000. in
