THE formal decision of the Japanese

THE formal decision of the Japanese educators
to carry into effect the plan which has been
discussed during the past several months, where
by the course of study in the Japanese private
schools will be brought more closely towards uni
fication with the public schools of the Territory,
is decision which all who love Hawaii and de-
sire her best interests may we'll applaud. The
plans Of the Japanese have matured slowly and
have been taken with the full approval not only
of the kamaana Japanese residents but of the
official representative of the Japanese government
and OF several OF the more prominent Japanese Of
the Empire who have recently visited Hawaii
Not only is this long step towards the real
Americanizng of the AmerCan-born children of
Japanese parents, but it is in the nature of an
emancipation of the children themselves 1t has
long been commended that the Japanese children,
through the system of dual education which has
been imposed upon them, were not being given
a proper chance to develop either as Americans
with English education as Japanese with Japa-
nese education. Conflicting theories brought con-
fusion to immature minds and overstudy dulled
little brains and prevented sufficient portion of
the day being given to that play without which
little Mich is made just as much dull boy as
work-and-no- play Jack
The past few years have seen the Japanese of
Hawaii take many forward steps and give many
evidences of the fact that the majority have long
since given up the idea of simply being transients
IN foreign land but have settled down into their
new homes as actually domciled residents, Not
the least of these evidences is the fact that texts
books founded upon American subjects have been
adopted for the Japanese schools and that a sys-
tenn of education that will fit into the American
scheme OF things las been formally adopted.

Study the Issues No,U

TNASMUCH as the forecasts of the territorial
election issues to be fought out on the stump
in Oahu this fall place the question Of the pro-
posed new municipal charter and the Wholesale
enforcement of the frontage tax the two lead.
ing issues Of the day, these questions should be
taken up by the Hawaiian press and made
clear to the Hawaiian voters. At the same time,
the haole voters of the city should make them
selves thoroughly familiar with these two ques-
tions, all the misunderstanding regarding them
IS not confined to any one class OF voters, by any
manner of means 81
Ii the voters could be persuaded to study
the terms of the proposed charter agreed upon
by the charter convention and then follow the sug
gestions they will be made for alterations in
the draft or for some complete style Of char
ter, the vote that will be cast on this particular
phase of the election will be an intelligent one,
In the same way, il the voters would only give
the matter of the frontage tax some consideration
they would learn what it actually is and rid them
selves OF the supposition many entertain that
it is additional tax upon the property owner
and in some way inimcal to the interests OF the
poor man. The frontage tax law it stands now
on the statute books is unnecessarily cumbersome
and inflicted with too much legal inertia II
should be amended to provide some short cut to
alone if Honolulu is to emerge from the night

we have been cropping the past two years. 'r# aas'

the only way possible for the children
to get to the school building is on Q
very dangerous, railway track -.

'I5would like to know If this
wfetched state Of affairs cannot be
brought before tbs, government OF
plantation authorities, to, the result
that a road -of some kind would be
made whereby the children could come
and 60 in safety
"Can the law compel parents to send
their children TO school under such
circumstancesf 1t seems to me that
American parents would not tolerate
such an imposition for. a momentl
Publicity concerning this situation
is the only way to start the machinery
moving to remedy the evil"
The writer further states that the
attendance at Waiakea- uka school is
ninety.four, mostly little folk. Sew,
enty are Japanese and the remainder
Spanish and Filipino children.
