SCHOOL BOARD
NOT BOTHERED
BY JAPANESE
Sees No Necessity for
Segregation
More Oriental Pupils Attend Los An.
geIes Schools Than In San Fran
cisco, and Issue Is Not
Raised Here

While there are only ninety-three
japanese children, of which thirty
eight are girls. attending the San
Francisco public schools, there are one
hundred Japanese pupils, of which
only twenty-five are girls, in the Los
Angeles schools.
In San Francisco the segregation Of
the Japanese is a political issue, and
so far no party here has raised the
question, but from the educational
standpoint there has been great deal
of discussion. However, it has amount
ed to nothing more than talk
There are three classes of Japanese
In the city. The first and by far the
largest class comprises the lowest kind
of laborers and unoduCated peasants;
the second class includes the men who
come here simply to get money enough
to go back to Japan and set themselves
up in business, and the third class,
which counts about one to every thou
sand of the others, are the students.
Tho ignorant laborers live in the
cheap boarding houses in the lower
part of the city and go only to the Jap
anese missions, where they stay two or
three months-iust long enough to be
able to understand the common Eng
lish phrases. Then they go to work
on the ranches and construction gangs
outside of the city, where their labor
is in constant demand.
After the Almighty Dollar
The second class are men 16 years old
and up who have had some education
in Japan and go to the public schools
to get the English training they need
to make money. Most of these work as
domestics in private families and thus
earn their living and attend school at
the same time.
Against the third class there has
been absolutely nothing said. They are
all in the high school and are only
from two to five years older than the
American pupils, which, of course,
would make little difference. They come
directly from Japanese high schools,
take private lessons after they arrive
in this country and then enter our
high schools as soon as they know
enough English.
When Japanese comes to this coun-
try he at once adopts American GUS
toms. He wears American clothes and
invariably looks three times better
dressed than the American receiving
the same salary. They clique together
a great deal They do not try to mix
with the Americans and in some iso-
lated cases where they do it is met
with disastrous results. as was the
case a few weeks ago when three prom
inent Japanese attempted to dine in
one of the best restaurants here. They
were promptly elected despite all their
protests.
Great Pool Players
Their great play here is pool, and
the majority of them never miss an
evening at the game. They are greater
spenders than the Chinese and are not
as good wage earners. When they can
command $1.5O per day a Chinaman
can get $1.75
About a fifth of them bring their
wives and some of them send their

The Doctors Gave Me Up

writes:
IL cannot thank you enough for the
good your Peruna has done me. About
six months ago l could not leave my

Peruna to me, and l commenced using it.

172 pounds. I had been sick for zen

Last fall a severe attack of malnrinI
fever laid me UP for some months. My
condition was serious for a time and
the doctor who was attending me did
not seem able to cope with the trouble.
"a neighbor advised me to let the doc

Mr.. Frank Battle, jr. First street,

Il desire to say for the benefit OF
others that your Peurna has unques-

1t is the grandest discovery of the age

Peruna is not simply a palliative to
relieve some OF the distressing symp-
toms. 1t brings permanent relief.

First Aid to the Injured.

First aid to the injured is not
more important than the first and
especially the prompt treatment
of Grip; "Seventy-seven" taken
early, it cuts it short; taken dur
ing an epidemic, it preoccupies
the system and repels the inva-
sion; taken while suffering, quick
relief is given. The long con-
tinued weakness and despon-
dency caused by the Grip, finds
no better remedy than ST."
Colds which are obstinate, that
"hang on" and do not yield to
treatment, find relief from "77."

language. The teachers and princi-
pals regard them as quiet, we'll behaved
pupils, who set a good example to the
others. There have been absolutely no
complaints sent in nor We're there ever
any submitted at san Francisco. There
is no possible use in segregation now
and even if there were a greater num-
ber of Japanese L would have the same
opinion"
The majority of the school officials
are for segregation and each has sew
eral different reasons to offer Among
the japanese mission workers. the same
idea is held. and Miss NJ z. Harrison,
a woman who has passed her whole
life among the japanese in Japan, Ha-
wall and here, said of them:
Japanese Are Buddhsts
IF there is any chance of our race
amalgamating with them it is wrong to
let them stay here, for they are not our
equals. They are Buddhists and be-
fore they leave Japan they promise
their parents they will not have any
thing to do with the Christian religion,
so that it is next to impossible to teach
them anything of Christ. Nearly all of
those who come here are from two pro-
Vinces, the most unciViliZed and unen-
lightened in Japan. They do not know
a word of English and come to me To
learn only the first few principles and
then they leave to work out on the
ranches. They are usually kind and
treat their teachers respectfully. They
seldom bring their wives to learn as
they think there is no necessity for Civ
ing a woman an education. 1 see no
reason now for segregating the Japa-
nese children, unless they come in such
large numbers that they crowd out the
Americans. In Japan the few Ameri-
can children there go to their own
schools which are supported by theil
parents"

True Cause Of Disease,

In these days almost every allment is
supposed to be caused by disease germs.
The medical profession as well as the
people seem to have gone mad over the
germ theory of disease.
The universal fear and dread Of dis
ease germs IL becoming n very serious
matter to the welfare and happiness Of
the people.
DIR. Hartman has consistently con-
tended through all the rise and spread
of the germ theory, that most diseases
are caused by climatic Influences.
For instance, catching cold is respon-
sible for more than one-half OF the Ills
to which human beings are subject.
