ages as are here supplied, and the
coast cities that can obtain teachers
from these schools consider them
selves fortunate, and the supply of
such is never equal to the demand.
Perhaps the climatic conditions
make some difference in the manners
of the people. Here no bowling wind
no fierce hail dashes to the earth the
uprising vegetation. Here the ocean
waves meet the pebbles on the beach
with murmuring lips, and the moon
and stars tip the glazed palm leaf with
silver brighter than that which illum-
mates the edges of the clouds. Here
birds of bright plumage fill with mel
ody the exquisite tropical shade All
this causes ones thoughts to turn with
shudder from the frozen bosomed
north, with its blasts that turn spring
to winter with the alchemy of one
frosty touch. What strikes the per-
son from the East at first is the en-
tire absence of that blatant, ferocious,
most terrifying young American hood

The writer who attempts to even
feebly portray the beauties of this
country, if he possesses gigantic un-
dertow of veracity or is a stickler for

the fear that his statements will be
thought exaggerated or at least some

that such faults are almost impossible
in writing about Hawaii. A writer,

no more than approximately describe

Since its defeat by Japan, Russia
has not affected the Imagination OF
the world with quite the sense of hid

but those who study its recent stats

still. In the last thirteen years the
population of the empire has in
creased by 93,OOO,OOO, which is 1900,
600 more than the United States has
gained in 20 years. The census Of
1909 gives the empire, including 81
