MR.. TURNER IN BOSTON.
Rev. E. b. Turner of Honolulu is in
the city on his way to the World s
Sunday School Convention at Rome.
The following interview with him ap-
peared in the Boston Evening Trans.
eript last night: ~
"Among others who have reported
at the transportation committee Is
headquarters in the Pope Building on
Columbus avenue is Rev. Il. B. Turner,
who will represent the Hawaiian Is
lands in the gathering at Rome. He
is one of the pastors of the Central
Union Church in Honolulu, and the
superintendent of its Srndav school of
four hundred members. He is also at
the head of the Boys Clubs of the
islands, and president of the Sunday
School Association of Hawaii, which
includes over one hundred schools.
In answer to question concerning
political affairs on the islands, and espe-
cially the Japanese question, he spoke
freely of the present outlook. We
have had no such trouble as they ex-
perienced in San Francisco he said,
because we have had rigid language
test which excluded from the public
schools all who could not use fuently
the English language. W. have met
the widespread desire among the Japa-
nese for an education in the English
tongue by the establishment of night
schools, which have been started and
by churches, social settle
ments and by private philanthropy,
and which have been mcst eagerly
patronized by japanese. These classes
have not only been means to the end
Of reaching these people with our re-
ligion, but it has aided in the general
educational problem of the islands.'
Gin reply to an inquiry as to the
effect of the recent anti-Japanese cru
sade on the Pacific coast, and the new
treaty regulations, Mr.. Turner replied:
There has been very keen interest
in this matter among our Japanese.
They have been an exceedingly restless
class, coming to our islands for only
Il short time, and anxious TO move on
into California and other States of the
Union. We are greatly dependent up
on these people for labor in our cane
fields; without them we can not well
carry on the sixty and more huge plan.
