No Material Diminution
Is Expected by Woodward

DR.. Woodward. Health officer of the
District of Columbia, today made the
following statement In reference to the
effect Of altered water upon the typhoid
fever situation;
"A case of typhoid fever does not
develop until some time after the pa
tient has been infected, A period Of
from seven TO twenty-five days mast
elapse after infection before the nature
of the resulting disease can be thor
oughly recognized. There will, there
fore, be a corresponding delay after the
pure water is delivered and before the
results appear. II the entire water sup
ply of the city were purified on AMI

Great American Problems Are

sionaries persuaded the King to do in
his division of lands was to follow the
American example and set aside the
lands not otherwise appropriated at
the time as part of permanent fund
to be used for the education of all
children. American books were trans
lated into Hawaiian, and thus the first
knowledge the child got OF any coun
try was of the United States.

From the foregoing facts II Is easy
to see that the transition Of Hawaii
from a sovereign little mid-ocean mon.
archy to dependent American terri.
tory was neither difficult, disappOint.
ing, nor unexpected.
A new and interesting problem now
presents itself to the thinkers Of this
Territory. In the economic develop.
ment Of the resources Of the country a
very large number Of Orientsls have
come here. and they are still coming.
II was not their intention originally to
bring their wives and children with
them, but II was insisted upon by gov.
eminent and the planters many years
ago that a certain proportion Of the
immigrants should be women. That
was before annexation. Under that
rule quite large number of Japanese
women and children arrived. Last
year about 500 Japanese children were
torn in Hawaii
According TO the report of the Super
intendent of Public Instruction for the
past year. there were over 1000 Japan.

schools of this Territory. nearly equal

B The male children OF these two races
born here will he American citizens II
they choose to remain after their ma
iOrity. and will become voters and Of
fceholders. The question Is, What
instrumentalities can be brought to
bear upon them that will make them
good American citizens? Is II possible
for the State and society to take the
children Of races so diverse from
Americans as are the Japanese and
the Chinese and by some educational,
social. and political crucible fuse then,
and turn them out homogeneous Amer.
leans?
/ This Is the practical and very In
teresting problem that presents Itself
to the people of this Territory. the so
luton of which Is sought by both
statesmen and social philosophers
There is no better place than Hawaii
for an experiment Of this kind. The
country is small in area. The popula
ton is limited. The Orientals come
INTO daily contact with Americans
men and women of light. and leading
in every relation of life. The old mis-
sionary set the example, which the
man of business and of industry has
to a large extent, followed. The Chi
nese have always been treated here
in decided contrast with the treatment
they have received in California. BY
the advice of the early missionaries
and through their organizing power
the King and Legislature made provl
sion for an excellent system of public
! schools. That system, mOdernized and
improved, is the fundamental agency
by which the children of the diverse
nationalities Of Hawaii are to be train
cd, reared, and transfused into Amer
!can citizenship.
Can It be done7 The most thought
full educators Of this Territory answer
emphatically, yes. II is being done
now. II has been done. Both Chinese
and japanese born and nurtured in
Hawaii are among our best citizens

Tor office. The children of the Terri
tory meet in the schoulrOom. the play
ground, the church, and the Sunday
school They sing the same patriotic
American songs. They read American
history and literature. The higher
grades are well instructed in the prin-
c!plcs and practice of free government
national, state. and Territorial. 1t
is the unanimous testimony of the
. teachers that no class of children re.
spOnd more readily and intelligently
"a both moral and intellectual instruc-
ton than do the Orientals.
The recent tendency Of the best sci.
entifie thought among both biologists
ard soeiolosists is that nurture has
more influence upon human character
than nature-environment than hered-
ity. to put II in the language Of the
schools. Unborn tendencies in any
race are but tendencies-mere poton-
tialities. Education, social and politi.
cal environment seize upon these po-
tentialites and work them up into the
finished product-into actualities. But
this work must be done chiefly in tho
schools. The minds of the young are
extremely plastic. Almost any system
Of morals may be impressed on the
minds and emotions of youth.
II Is also observed by the teachers
in our schools that the Orientals are
very fond of the study Of the principles
OF the American democracy. These
principles meet with their enthusiastic
approval. There is no reason, there
fore, either in theory or practice, why

nese and japanese, trained in Amer

ciples, should not make excellent
American citizens. All this Is not
mere theory. But II II were theory
only, II Is founded on the soundest
principles Of deductive reasoning. II
Is not mere speculation. because we
gave already proven the postulate in
Hawaii, as shown in the foregoing
statements, and We are demonstrating
II now on a much more extensive scale
in our wise system OF free and compll-
sorry education.
Many of the most thoughtful Philip
pine teachers returning to America,
through Honolulu, after examining our
schools and their results, have declar.
ed that Hawaii has solved, and Is solv.
ing, the educational and social prob.
lem for our insular possessions.
They believe that II would be OF in
estimable value to the educational well
fare Of both Porto Rico and the Philip
pines II an able commission could be
appointed from these two possessions
to inquire into and report upon the
methods and progress of our system.
