We IN the smaller rural cities and
villages, little realize the daily strug-
gle for existence many experience in
the larger centers of population. Life
runs along smoothly in the country
towns, with plenty of employment of
one kind or another for all, and little
actual hardship is seen. Not so in the
cities, where countless thousands do
not know where the next days employ
ment is to come from. Our unsettled
industrial conditions at this time make
daily existence matter of uncertainty
for many Before the news stands and
employment agencies in the cities,
every morning, one may see these men
waiting for opportunities for work. To
be sure most of these men are of the
lower walks of life, men who at best
are qualified only for the rough jobs
that present themselves, yet because
of this their condition is the more pit
liable. Most of these have families de-
pendent upon them, and the very fact
that their labor is uncertain makes I'M
told hardships and privations their
common lot We in the prosperous
rural communities have not yet learned
to count the blessings of living in
community where poverty is rare, and
where industrial problems do not con-
front us.-EX.

spare her. She was conscious to the
very last and sent greetings to all her
absent friends and relatives. At her
bedside, besides the nurses and doctors,
were her sister, Mrs. Halvorson, her
niece, Myrtle Hippi, and Rev. n. M.
Ylvisaker of Chicago, who sang Crock
of Ages" at her request. While the
pastor was saying the blessing, she
closed her eyes in the sleep from which
she will not awaken to weep or suffer.
Funeral services were held from her
brothers home and at the East Kosh-
konong church, Friday, December 10Th,
at / O'Clock, by Rev. G. G. Krostu.
The flower girls were Misses Lille and
Tilla Hanson, Ellen and Randina Hippi.
Bearers were Martin and Cornelius
Nelson, Christ and Even Onsgard, Mar
tin Steffrud and Henry Thronson.

Water and Electricity.

Since the general Introduction of
electricity into the cities it has been
known that it was possible to secure
a very considerable shock through a
stream Of water, and firemen in all
large cities are on the lookout for this.
Wires which look as if they might con-
duct heavy currents are cut before
stream of water is thrown in their di-
rection Recently in the construction
of an electric railway in South Africa
it was noticed that column of steam
from a locomotive could be the means
of conveying the current, and several
workmen were shocked in this man
ner.

is located in one of the worst sections
Of the city and with its force Of
nurses, teachers and investigators, it
represents a genuine effort to under
stand the crowded and mixed people
of this remarkable city, and to be
neighborly with them. This work of
Palama Settlement has the support of
Dr.. Eoremus Scudder of the Central
Union church, who is one of the lib
eralizing and progressive influences
Of the islands, and of a number Of
thoughtful men of wealth.
The sports of the islands are a real
influence in bringing men and boys
of all races to better understanding
Of one another When you see base
ball clubs of Cinnamon, Japanese,
Caucasians, and Hawaiians all play
ing matched games together-or run
ming races-or riding bicycles, as you
see often in Honolulu-it means a
basis of common meeting There are
no more enthusiastic fans" at base
ball under the flag than these mixed
island people.
Hawaii is also remarkable for the
number and variety of it's publica-
tions, both newspapers and maya
zines, which are undoubtedly very N
iuential in the island life The
Friend, weekly established by the
early missionaries, is said to be the
oldest American publication west of
the Mississippi river. The Mid
Pacific Magazine, edited by Alexander
Hume Ford, which is about the size
of the standard magazines and hand
somely illustrated, is remarkable in
maintaining itself in so small cen
ter of population. The English daily
newspapers show unusual editorial
and stand with and represent the
planters interests in all essential
matters. The Japanese, Chinese, and
Portuguese newspapers, of which
there are many in the islands, are
said to be a very potent influence;
several of them are extremely radi-
cal in tone. The Japanese papers es-
pecially publish much solid and infor-
native matter and keep well in touch
with the worlds affairs.
But of all the influences making for
light and liberty the public schools,
inadequate as they are, and certain
of the private schools, must still be
regarded as the most important.
Two schools in the islands, repre-
senting the best types of both public
and private institutions, impressed
me especially.
The first, public school-the Kaiu-
lani School of HOnolulu-is impress
sive because it seems to be answer
ing quietly and as a matter of course,
the high function of training children
for citizenship. At the head of it is
a remarkable woman--Mrs. Fraser
who has been teacher in the islands
/ for twenty-nine years. 1t seems to
me that she is doing off there in that
obscure corner of the earth a really
great service to mankind. / suppose
no school in the world is quite so cos
mopoltan as this. Among the seven
hundred grammar-grade pupils are
included practically all the elements
in the islands-white. Hawaiian, Chi
nese, japanese, Portuguese, Korean,
Russian, and others. Here they all
meet together, study together, play
together, speak the same language,
and learn the same lessons. con-
fess it gives one a thrill to hear the
pupils in this school recite together
the familiar flag-salute.

The planters have, indeed, been
making conditions pleasanter for
workmen; but in the main thing Of
all-wages (for a fair share in the
product Of the sugar Industry, and
in real independence, the mass of the
people in Hawaii are probably not so
well off as they were five years ago,
More things are being done for them
in a feudalistic way; but they are less
able to do things for themselves and
thus prepare for real citizenship.
Now, am not making these state
ments as mere vain congratulations.

The Mid-Pacic Institute, the private
institution which seems to me to ne
so significant, is the fruition of the
lifelong labors of devoted man
Francis w. Damon Mr.. Damon is
the son of an English missionary. His
brother is the leading banker of the
islands.
A man of powerful and dominating
personality and with something of The
fervor of prophet, Mr.. Da.Non has
devoted his life to the education and
Outstanding of the Chinese people
of the islands. The purpose of the
Mid-Pacific Institute is twofold. 1t
uses the Learn by doing" principle
of the new education and endeavors
to bring pupils of all races together
under common educational, religious,
social and industrial influences. The
fees have been made very low and
the children, who are taken to board,
are required to do the work of the
institution-to plant the fields and to
learn the trades. Here are to be
found Japanese, Chinese, Korean,
Spaniard, Portuguese and Filipino
students One of the notices of the
school is from Confucius: Within
the four seas all men are brothers 4"
Mr. Damon is attempting to express
out there in the Mid-Pacifc, where
West and East are meeting, the great
idea that the essential teachings of
the Christian religion are sufficient to
bring all men together in brother
hood. He believes that the golden
rule is the best diplomacy" and that
there is no reason why democracy is
not possible where white and yellow
and black men live together.

growth Of Japanese property owning
