WILLIAM KWAI FONG RETURNS
LAND OF HIS ANCESTORS.

William IIwai Fong, Of the Bank of
Hawaii, returned Monday by the Mon
golia from his first visit to his ances-
tral land. He has been gone three
months and visited Shanghai Hong
kong, Canton, and a great many small
er places, including the river village,
three days journey up the river from
Canton, where his ancestors lived, and
where his father is now living. His
father has been away from Hawaii
about three years, but expects soon to
return.

thing else" says Mr., Kwai Fong, "is

evidences of it everywhere, from the
large cities to the smallest villages.

educational methods are being adopted
even in the most elementary schools i'm

erywhere too, the rage among school
