poration, such as find so popular In
America. 1t is for all the people, as are
individuals. What one person needs
he takes from another, the only obli-
cation being restitution as soon us pos
sible. In fact, 1t is hardly necessary
to take, for the ruling thought OF the
people Is to give and they seek out the
wants of others rather than await O
demand.
"A stranger visiting the island would
find every house open to him. When
he left such thing us payment would
be an insult to the people.
"0f course 1t seems impossible to be-
lieve that an island supplies all the
necessities Of life without work, but
that is almost true of Pitcairn. The
fruits and vegetables grow almost
without cultivation. Goats run wild
and so do chickens. To get meat one
only has to take down his gun and
kill. Guns and ammunition are sup
piled yearly by the English cruiser
which arrives from Tahiti. A few
trading vessels bring modern clothing
for which arras root Is exchanged. No
style In clothing Is known, the women
wearing loose gowns from the shoul-
ders to the feet and the men ordinary
clothing us known In this country.
They are worn until their uselessness
is apparent.
Courts and jails are unknown in
stitutiOns. My father governs over
the people as father over all. Dane
Ing on the island is unknown. The
manner Of dancing us countenanced In
America would not only shock the
sensibilities of Pitcairn islanders but
those Of the Fill group. American
dances would not be permitted in Pit
cairn. where modesty is innate. Edu-
cation Is paramount. Teachers have
sought admittance on the island for
years. All children attend school until
the age of marriage. No case OF vio-
lations Of the marriage vow ever have
been known.
Menu Of the islanders.
'The foodstuffs consist Of sweet pO-
tatoes, white potatoes, taro. which is

meat we have the flesh of goats, which
Is excellent, and chicken and fish. We

1t is little bit of Utopia. You

mere speck away out there in the
south Pacific, Pitcairn island, that even
few navigators know, because 1t Is out
of the regular line Of trade. Public at-
tention was drawn to 1t recently by
the presence in this country of Miss

of Pitcairn"
She isn't princess In the ordinary

A glamour of romance hangs about
the island and its people from the fact
that 1t was originally settled In 1870 by
the mutineers of the English ship
Bounty. consisting of Fletcher Chris

Englishmen, six Polynesian men and 12
Polynesian women. 1t was not until
1908 that the outside world heard Of
the remarkable colony there.
In 1925 Captain Beechey found here

archal rule Of John Adams, the only
Englishman left, who had risen to the
emergency and trained the growing
generation In education. religion and
