Honolulu star-bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1912-2010, 1914-11-10


Both cities, Honolulu and Hilo, are
anticipating much business and pros
perity as ports Of caIl and supply for
trans Pacific commerce passing the
Panama canal The harbor Of the for
mer. requires enlarging, particularly
for anchorage; the latter needs the
completion of its breakwater.
r. The. climate and scenery of Hawaii
and the appreciation shown by large
numbers of visitors encourage the ex-
pectation that a larger number of
mainlanders, independent in their
means, will make the islands their
home for at least part of the year
and, thus add to the charm and pros
perity of the community. Hawaii is
charging her accommodations for
tourists and providing means Of en-
tertainment
The operations of the United States
army and navy through their estab-
lishments in Hawaii and the large
number of men, military, naval, and
civil, connected Herewith, have be-
come a most important factor in the
various phases of social life and bust
ness in the Territory, The Territorial

Problems Of Population. go - q
The territory of Hawaii from lis
mixed population of races from all over
the world, living, studying, engaged in
business, professions and. labor in close
justapcsition, presents problems and
examples that may well be studied by,
statesmen and legislators, as well as
the social students z:.e s. p.
s For the presentea: least; I. would be
rather presumptuous for the governor
of these associated peoples to assume
to analyze the situation and draw con-
clusions. but it is his duty to present
the facts in the most concise, striking,
and Understandable form. Hence there
are presented further in this report
diagrams showing the following: Pop
ulation Of the territory of Hawaii by

ritory of Hawaii by nationali:ies: con.
tributions to the public income by ma

Problems Of Education. = * -, ~,
The territory of Hawaii has been
distinctly and generously a supporter
of education In practical. forms and
also of whas may be termed advanced
theories of .Redagegical and atethical
types, and the tendency has been to
magnify thase latter. "A point has
been reached where there must be a
reaction in favor Of sound, rational
education, If the territory of Hawaii is
to find support iu the vocatipns it has
to offer its children after such prepa-
ration. The department of public in.
struction has been directed to use all
its wisdom and effort to bring. about
sound, not theoretical, education, and
k Is making the effort 2 3. ~.
