with greater care than in previous
years and with a fun knowledge of
conditions and a determination to
make good.
I'm the Chicago office during the
month of July more than 1000 per
sons have made personal inquiries
concerning the opportunities on the
various projects. Many thousands
have listened to descriptions of the
irrigation works built by the govern
ment and by private parties. AND
hundreds have obtained personal in
formation concerning the opportuni-
ties for home-making in the arid
regions.
THE government not only tries to
information concerning its
own lands. but furnishes facts. as far
possible. TO investors and engineers
concerning the opportunities for
reclamation OF the country.
Millions of dollars have been in
vested upon impartial statements of
water supply ana of land conditions;
and it may be claimed that for every
dollar the government has invested
in reclamation individuals or corpor-
ations have invested ten during the
past year.
This is significant in view of the
hat at the time of the passage
Of the reclamation act in 1902 irri-
cation development was practically
stagnant. and although the Carey act
has been on the statute books since
1894, few of the states had taken adj

Evidence of Friend|iness to the

Washington, ID. c., Aug. 2.

The real event Of the week at the
Observation-Disclosures exposition. in
its large significance. was the dedica-
ton of the japanese building said
Mr.. l.. William Thavis, eastern COM
missioner of publicity for the EXPOSE
ton. THE japanese government"
continued Mr.. Thavis, has made a
greater and more elaborate showing
at the Seattle exposition than at any
exposition eve before held anywhere,
and has done so for the express pur-
pose of showing its good will toward
the United States inc especially to-
ward the people of Seattle, which il.

Japan of any city ON this continent.
THE dedication OF this notable
building. with its beautiful and arts
tic exhibit, was made the occasion for
several speeches, all breathing good
viii and intimate friendship. The key
note of the occasion was in a remark
made by T. Takesawa, Girector of
exhibits: If our participation in this
exposition can aid one-thousandth
part what we hope toward the devel-
upmcnt of commerce between Japan
and The United States our object shall
have been fully accomplished.
The growth OF larger commerce
between the United States and
Japan" said Commissioner Thavis.
lis one of the dearest commercial as
pirations of Seattle. the city through
which he greatest proportionate
share OF the trade between the two
countries is now transacted. ON the
expansion of trade with Japan and
with other countries of Eastern Asia 4,
the future of Seattle largely depends.
As Japan hopes to improve the COM
mercial relations between the two
countries, so emphaticaliy does Seat
tie. In addition to the commercial
aspect there is also evidence. of sim
ccre friendship, in the aid which
Japan has extended toward making
the Observation-Disclosures exposition

ciated by the Seattle people"
One OF the special features of the
exposition scheduled to occur the lat
ter part of August, will attract coun-
trN-wide attention. 1t is to be a ma
val spectacle reproducing the blow

The trip abroad for popular young
people of the islands has been fea-
ture introduced by this paper that
has always been popular because
Of its educational worth. Through
the agency of this paper many people
have had an opportunity to get u
view Of conditions outside the is

have enjoyed themselves. and, best
of all, gained much that has been OF

seek Is a few suggestions from Is u e

From tim" to time the BullC-
I n has received mtimatiOns from
its patrons that they would like to
see the young men included in the
ranks of those whose friends wish to
show their good will by assisting
them in gaining summer outing;
others have asked that there be no
line drawn between the young men

others have insisted that the young
ladies are not only more popular. but
the most deserving of reward and
the best representatives. for the Ter

young women are always attractive
There can be no division of opinion

HAWAII SCHOOL FACTS.

THE PROBLEMS or RACE IN
TEACnlNG.

TEACHING,
II is n matter of observation that
there are in the Territory of Hawaii
q very gratifying number of eNcep-
tiunally efficient teachers. EXcep-
tiOnal efficiency may be evinced in
exceptionally favorably environment,
or, as not infrcqucntly has happened,
II may he discovered or developed by
exceptionally untoward circumstance

tiuns have developed the great diplo-
ml,ist. - crisis In the AFFAIRS Of Il
people has produced the great
statesman, hard times and fight
for existence have compelled an in
dustry into reorganiGations and new
mcthuds that have made for 1t Il
great future. So It may cOnceiyably
be in the matter of teaching.
IT, failing to find an explanation
OF efficiency elsewhere, one should
set out to look for difficulties suiii
sIent to put the teachers on their
mettle. one need not look In vain.
The school proposition of Hawaii has
hcrn a growing population--a very
rapidly growing one.
School attendance Is four times as
great now rs 1t was In 1876. This
~ an increase of 800 per cent in
thirty-three years.
The number of available teachers
has in all that time and earlier been
far below the need. Salaries of
teachers have been always made
Quate and at times distressingly low.
Uncertificated teachers of deficient
qualifications have been employed in
lurge numbers.
Oycrcrowding of buildings has
been perennial.
Appropriations Of money have
been estimated on the basis of past
requirements rather than of the
growing present or the greater flu
turc.
Per capita cost of education has
been kept below that of other pro-
Pressive communities - below Az
EtAGE cost In the United States
Notwithstanding the fact that in Ha-
wall the cost of educating public
school pupil Is distributed among ten
of population as against a ratio of
q little less than one TO FIVE in the
United States Us whole.
Stated in other words, though the
man az IIuuuIi h,v. hal lao, ,b,,
half the burden of public education
than men elsewhere are bearing, yet
they have not been willing to bear
even this half burden either capably
or with entire cheerfulness.
Inspection of cur schools has been
scant and intermittent.
Supervision In any general sense
has no, been obtained.
Principals of schools have been
held down TO an exacting routine OF
grade work.
Medical inspection of schools has
been inadequate and infrequent and
at times pretty nearly given up.
Public school pupils have for the
most part been children of very poor
and sometimes Of improylden. par
ents. Home interest in the bringing
up OF children is deficient, nutrition
Is defective, and child labor is in
many cases excessive. The poverty
Of the home and the parsimony OF
the State have kept equipment
of school children far below that re-
quired for the best results-School
