FINDS PAPER TELLING Of VISIT 10
HAWAII BY EARLY SPANISH VOYAGERS
Miss leila Nuta Archeoogst is Now in Islands Seeking
Notification of Statements Made in Document Found
Among Spanish Archives tG@

about the middle OF the 18th century.
1t tells Of sighting saoW-cove-ed peaks
in tropical sea, OF landing on an
island whose Inhabitants were dark.
skinned but ansI liable, and descrip-
tons were given OF several landing
places. Mention was also made OF
fires in the earth, but whether the
voyagers actually visited volcano or
accounts were given them by the ma
tiyes, Miss Nuttsll was unable to de-
cipher.
Finds Paper BY Accident :
Miss Suttall is especially noted for
her research wo:k Mexican archie
ology and colonial history and Il was
while she was looking into the Span
ish archives for paper which related
to q certain period in history OF an.
cient Mexico that she ran across the
paper relating TO tiese islands She
is the author OF numerous papers and
books embodying original researches
into Mexican archaeology among which
Is "Codex Nuttall," facsimile or an
ancient Mexican codex. She Is an
honorary special assistant OF the Pea
body Museum OF Cambridge, Mans;
honorary member Of the archeologist
association and also several other
scientific associations botE American
and foreign.
Miss Nuttall has Just finished a book
dealing with the voyage Of Sir Francis
Drake along the Pacific coast OF
North America which is now In the
hands of her publisher in San Fran
cisco. In this book she brings to light
many facts concerning this courageous
explorer obtained from archives In
Mexico and Spain.

That once while searching through
the archives of Spain she discovered
q paper which gave an account OF q
Spanish explorer who visited the Ha-
waiian Islands long before Capt. Cook
ever sailed into the Pacific, Is the in
teresting announcement made by Miss
leila Nuttall, well known archeoio-
gist, who is here on q vacation from
recent research work in Mexico and
California. =
Ever since was little child, "
Miss Nuttall said, Il have always
wanted to visit the Hawaiian Islands
and when | found that PAPER | made
up my mind that at the very first OPP
portunity | would come here. The
paper was naturally rather vague in
its descriptions but feel sure that I
shall be able to find some of the
places described"
Seeks Data to Verify
1t has been known for many years
that Spanish explorers did visit these
islands, particularly Hawaii, during
the 18th and 18th centuries. but very
little authentic data mas ever been
obtained. With the discovery by Miss
Nuttall Of this Taper, however, it is
probable that a gap in Hawaiian his
tory will be filled. Miss Nuttall left
for Hawaii last Saturday and ex-
rected to be there several weeks. On
her return to honolulu it is antici-
pated that she will have verified the
account in the old Spanish paper, in
part at least.

IAGORE TALKS Of
EDUCATION And
RECITES POETRY
Hindu Savant Delivers Lecture
That lnstructs as Well as
Interests Audience

Mans intention is going against
Gods intention on how We shall edu-
cate our children. Children are Gods
own creation. We would be wise to
follow his direction toward the growth
Of children's minds"
Thus spoke Rabindranath Tagore,
the Hindu educator, philosopher and
savant and winner Of a Nobel prize
for literature, in a reading in the ma
kai pavilion of the Alexander Young
hotel Tuesday afternoon. The audi
ence, which consisted mainly of wom-
en-, Was a large one and interest in
the reading and in Tagcre himself was
manifest.
Tagore is an individualist and not a
believer in machine-made humanity.
This was clearly demonstrated in the
reading in which the savant expound-
ed his views OF child education, say
ing that society has made its own ar
rangenents for manipulating mems
minds to fit its special arrangements;
but this, he asserts, is against ma.
ture and contrary to the highest good
of mankind.
Puts Ideas Into Practise
What he expounds regarding child
education is put into actual practise
by Tagore in India, where he conducts
school attended by 10 boys and
having a faculty of % teachers. The
school system, he says, is sure meth
cd of discipline turning out uniform
results. Regarding his own expert
ences in school lie says: This was
the cause of much suffering when
was sent to school. | was not a crea.
ton of the school system when I was
born into this world. But was this
any reason why they should heap ven
geanee on my head for this oversight
of my Creator? was fortunate
enough to be aole to extricate myself
before insensibility set in"
Criticizes Present Methods
Commenting further on the educa'
ton Of children, the philosopher said,
in part:
THE highest education is that
which makes US live in harmony with
all existence. but tins education In
sympathy is scarcely expressed In ouI
schools. Mans intention Is going
against Gods intention how we shall
educate our children. Children are
Gods own creation. We would be wise
to follow his direction toward the
growth of children's minds. T.. 49,.
Wealth is q golden cage In which
the children Of the rich are impris
oned, to the deadening of their lives
Poverty brings US into touch with the
best things of the world. Children
are in love with life, and it Is Their
first love. They are not born monas
tics to begin the acquisition of know
ledge. Luxuries are burdens to boys;
they are the burdens Of other peo
pies habits. Let US find out God
Let us live that ultimate truth which
emancipates US from all things. Re
ligion cannot be doled out in daily
fixed doses"
Tagore, at the conclusion of his
reading, read some of his child poems
which proved delightful.

LETTER SAYS PURSE
NETS WASTE LIVES OF
FISH By THOUSANDS

Showing how the fish supply in
the waters about southern California
Is being depleted by the use OF the
purse net by the canneries, q letter
was received Tuesday from Ernest
Windle, editor of The Islander, Ava
lon, Cal, by H. Gooding Field.
WindIe, who in an authority on
aquatic resources, says: my own
opinion is that the use Of purse nets
In these waters during the past year
caused the direct death Of tons of fish
which later went into fertilizer and
also tons Of fish were never taken
from the ocean because, injured In
the nets, they became an easy prey to
the sharks, Il Is an injustice to any
state and the people for any legisla'
tive body to allow the use of round
haul net more than 500 feet in length.
Ii Is not so much the amount Of fish
taken as the greater amount wasted
Windle also says that two years ago
aibacore sold for $50 q ton, now they
bring slS5, due to their scarcity, and
advises Field to have laws passed
protecting the fish from the slaughter
pen.

MOTONO SEES :
CLOSE ALLIANCE
WITH America
Japanese Foreign Minister De-
rl1andS Allies Recognize
Pacific Possessions 49,
asnecial Cable 10 Nippu Jfiil


( TOXIC, Japan, Jan. 24.-Viscount
l. Motono, minister of foreign affairs
at the opening of the Japanese diet
yesterday declared that japan wants
the Entente Allies to recognize her
new colonial possessions in the Pa
cific which she has gained with ex-
penditure OF much blood and treas
ure," and declared further that until
victory shall have crowned our efforts
we shall never lay down our swords >
The diet, now entering upon its 3Sth
session, received his statement quietly,
but approvingly, and listened atten-
lively while the minister explained
what Is to be the foreign policy of the
Terauchi administration, now under
fire from a combination Of political
foes.
Will Stand by Allies &.
1T is the intention of this govern
ment TO continue while in office the
same policy which Japan has In the
past adhered to in regard to the war
now raging in Europe. We are pre-.
pared to lend every aid to our Allies
while at the same time ready to wei
COluc q pCdCc that Shall w
US the aims for which we have been
fighting. We shall never lay down
the sword until these aims have been
secured beyond all doubt
AT the same time It is we'll that all
the world should know that japan
wishes the formal recognition of her
new colonies in the Pacific by the En-
tente Powers. These colonies we have
won by the sacrificing of much blood
and treasure and we intend to keep
them. .s.
Keeping this fact in mind We shall
continue in the future as in the past
to give all possible assistance to our
Allies" I'D -. r ~
Crisis With U. s. Dream
Later on his address dealt with the
American situation, and he said ::
Some Americans and some Japanese
dream of the day when the two coun-
tries shall face a diplomatic crisis.
This dream is but dream, for as a
matter Of fact we are growing daily
closer and closer to each other, and
many mutual Misunderstanding are
being cleared up by time and that
closer contact
Let Us remember that If the two
powers facing on the Pacific ocean
dispeIl all doubts between themselves
they will go far. not only in keeping
the peace both hold so dear, but in
bringing universal peace that much
nearer to realization. II is for this, If
for no other reason that we should
work for the most perfect harmony
with the United States"

(Assoeiated Press By Federal Wirelessl
LONDON, Eng, Jan. A.-Lord
NorthcIiffe, commenting on President
Wilson's speech before the senate,
gives his opinion that President VII
son has been the victim OF the Ger
man propaganda and has been led
into misunderstanding of the situa,
ticn in Europe, due to his ge0graphi-
cal distance from the scene Of the
events which he Is undertaking to
Judge.
Democracy" says Lord North
cliffe, will be mainly puzzled to know
why the president does not begin his
operations of restoring peace to a
troubled world by the pacification Of
little Mexico, his next door neighl'o-.
5ritain's Task Not Finished
Henry Ryndman, leader OF the Eng.
lish Socialists, in commenting on the
presidents latest peace move, said:
"As a Socialist | am opposed to war
and will welcome the day OF peace.
As an Englishman | feel chat this
country is serving the cause Of civil
Zation when 1t helps to prevent Prus.
sianism from oyerrunning Europe and
crushing democracy. Britain's task
is not yet finished.
The Socialist leader said that some
of Wilson's ideas are excellent, hut
are impossible of being carried out
at present The general tone Of the
presidents speech is obnoxious, how
ever. he said. president Wilson
speaks as IL we are some kind Of an
inferior animal, which needs someone
of greater intellectually to coordinate
our doing for US"
Comdr. Carylon Bellairs, r. ~. re-
tired, speaking from the Uni0nisf
benches in the commons, said that
the leading passage in the presidents
address appeared to be: We shall
have no choice in determining what
the terms of peace shall be- This,
he said, is to be interpreted as mean
ing that at is definitely established
that the United States does not In.
tend to have any participation In any
peace conference and that President
Wilson is still determined that the
United States shall be kept out OF the
war"
Percy Alden, member OF Parlia-
ment, who has leetured in the United
States and the British colonies, said
In his comment that the only con-
ceivable hope that exists for Prest-
dent Wilson to carry out his purposes
Is for him to come forward with the
German peace terms, II he has them.
