This dispatch is called to the cs-
pecial attention of the men of this
Territory who claim that the Terri
tory does too much for its school
children and particularly for the
children of foreign birth
The complaint is made by some of
our citizens that some of the country
schools are turned into veritable kin
dergartens and nurseries to care for
the little children of the women la
boring in the sugar fields The peo-
pie who allow themselves to make
this complaint" do not appear to rea-
lie that these women while working
in the fields are adding their share
TO the general wealth of the islands,
and they of all persons on earth are
entitled to have their children cared
for, during their absence, at public
expense. The fact is however that
the complaint is not justified, as the
number of children cared for" in
this Territory on that basis is very
small.
But assuming the criticism did
have the merit of being supported by
facts, how far short is Hawaii of the
city of Chicago in looking after its
children
Chicago, progressive American
municipality, not only secs that its
children are taught but II feeds them
rs well. And the center of the citys
activity in this line Is among the
foreign" element, the element which
some of our otherwise good citizens
in Hawaii declare is least entitled to
consideration.
The Chicago spirit Is the spirit of
progressive America with exceptions
that merely prove the rule.
Chicago taxpayers as well AS edu-
Gators realize that they are provid-
ing for the future welfare of the city
by giving the children of the for
eign" residents good education and
'nough food to put them in physical
condition to accept mental nourish-
ment.
Hawaii should follow Chicago's ex-
ample.
Rather than striving to eliminate
children from the public schools, the
people through the government should
date more children, but, II necessary
supply the funds to not only accomo.
furnish light lunch for those that
come a long distance from poverty
stricken homes.
If the people of this Territory in,
tend to move forward on traditiona
American lines they will not max,
their economies by taking it out o
the children who attend the schools
