ONE TRIAL OF

/ A quarter of a century ago the Ha-
waifan sugar planters began import

contract labor. After experiment and

pended

Labor Commissioner shows that Chi
nese and Japanese school children have
increased so rapidly in the last ten
years that unless there is a change the
coming population of the islands will be
principally composed or these races
From 1902 to 1905 the Chinese pupils
in the schools grew AZ per cent. and the
there are 1894 out of total attendance
of 20 406. One result is that the Amer
lean pupil brought up among children
of all races and attending school in a
district where a majority of his school
mates are Japanese, never acquires
perfect mastery of his own language
and speaks pigeon English often with
a foreign accent
1t is hoped, of course, in the Hawai-
ian Islands that these Chinese and Jap
anese pupils will leave; but if they
leave in any large number they are the
first who have ever left our flag, and
they are all, it must be remembered,
under our Constitution, if born in the
Hawaiian Islands, American citizens.
With this object lesson it is not sur
prising that the attempt or the planters
to introduce more Chinese labor meets
with general opposition.
Does the United States wish the
Canal Strip to be turned into a Chinese
colony? Because experience on the Ha-
waiian Islands shows that if contract
labor is brought in without provision
of deporting, the Chinese coolies of one
genera ton means thousands of Chinese
children in the next generation. If, as
