1905; among the Chinese, 1883; and
among the Japanese, 220.1. In each
age group for which 1909 data are
given, the proportion of females in

Age.
OF the total population in 1919, 1856
per cent were under 20 years of age.
The proportion under 20, however, va
ried greatly in the different races.
| OF the Asiatic Hawaiians 70.9 per
cent were under 90. The percentage
was relatively high also among the
Caucasian Hawaiians (63S), the
Portuguese (56.Sl, the Porto Ricans
(4S.e), and the Spaniards $3.50. It
was relatively low among those class
| flied as 'sother Caucasian" (29.3). the
Chinese (2S9l, the Japanese (2S.31,
and the Koreans (14.9). in which
races the immigrant or foreign-born
element is large Among the pure
Hawaiians the percentage under 20
was 1913.
Marital Condition.
Statistics relating to marital con-
dition in 1910 and in 1900 are shown
for five racial groups. Among Ha-
waiians Is years OF age and over. both
males and females, the percentage
married, widowed, and divorced in the
aggregate was slightly higher in 1910
than 1900. Among part Hawaiians and
Caucasians the corresponding percent.
age was slightly lower in 1910 than in
1900 Among the Chinese and Japan
csc the 1910 percentage for males was
higher and that for females lower than
the corresponding percentage in 1900.
The percentage single was generally
lower for males, and higher for fe-
males, in 1910 than In 1900
In the total population Is years of
age and over, 1913 per cent of the
males and 1854 per cent of the fe-
males were single; the percentage
married was 45.1 among males and
.76.4 among females; and the percent.
age widowed, As and So, respectively
The number reported as divorced,
comprising per cent of the males
and e.9 per cent of the females, is
believed to be too small. because of
the probability that some divorced per-
sons class themselves as single or
widowed.
The distribution of the native pop
ulation according to state of birth-fs
shown for 1910 and 1900. In 1910,
86,4S3, or 1871 per cent of the native
population were 1orn in the territory
of Hawaii; $3.50. or 3. g per cent, were
born in Porto Rico; 1872, or "a per
cent in the Philippine islands; and 81
688, or, 5.8 per cent, in the United
States proper. OF those born in the
United States, 1919 were natives of
California. In 1900, 49, p per cent of
the natives were born in Hawaii and
81 per cent in the United States.
OF the 1882 foreign-born resi-
dents of Hawaii, $4,000, or 63.S per
cent, were natives of Japan; 14,4S6,
or 155 per cent, were natives OF
China; and 4,172, or As per cent
we're natives of Korea. The aggre-
gate for these three countries, 7S,45S.
constituted S3.S per cent, or approxi-
mately five-sixths, of the total for
eign-bcrn population. Natives of Por-
tugal constituted 81 per cent of the
foreign-born element, natives of Spain
Ii per cent. natives of Russia Ii
per cent, natives of Germany one
per cent. and natives of the Atlantic
islands one per cent. No other coun-
try contributed as much as ore per-
cent to the 'foreign-born population.
IN 1900 the proportion Of Japanese
III the forefgn-bcrn population was
somewhat less, and the proportion of
Chinese greater, than it was in 1870
As enumerated in 1910 the number
OF males 81 years of age and over was

ing Japanese-13,9 or 16.5 per cent.
were Caueasians; 1926. or 9.4 per cent,
were Hawaiians; and $40, or 81 per
cent. were of other races. In 1900
males of voting age numbered 1861,
the number of such males having in
creased during the decade by 1883
The number of Chinese males 81 and
over, however, decreased 1900 during
the decade. and the number of Hawaii
ans 953, the aggregate increase for all
ether races combined being 1922.
