Mention Marx Twain to the average
, American and he at once thinks of the
Mississippi river and the life of its
pilots whom Mark Twain has immor-
talized in his writings.
But there Is still another spot In
this world which Mark Twain has en-
deared to readers by inimitable wit
and delightful pen pictures. Hawaii,
as Mark saw 1t and wrote and talked
about it, has been so inextricably in
terwoven with Hawaii as we hear of
1T through magazine articles and
newspaper comment, that we are
went to forget his contribution to the
mmortalizing of the island paradise
of the Pacific.
The appearance on the Chautauqua
platform of Miss Mildred Leo Glenn
ems, cousin of the great American
humorist, recalls at once the tie that
binds Mark Twain with the islands.
For she brings to American audiences
a revivified Mark Twain point Of
view. Not only does she inherit some
Of the traditional Clemens humor, but
she also has followed the paths that
Mark Twain made across the islands.
The third day of the Chautauqua
this season Is truly a Hawaiian day,
for with her Miss Clemens has
brought group Of native singers and
musicians to give a separate concert
and to lend truly Hawaiian air to

HAWAIIAN LECTURER
WITH NATIVE TROUPE

American humor has become rec
ognized in all countries as q distinct
attribute Of our nationality. The hu-
NOR. rough and unafraid. as II some
times 10. gives evidence to our Euro
peAn friends Of the lurking existence
Of the old pioneer spirit of our fore
fathers.
Without doubt, the American who
first gave Europeans the typical
American humor was Mark Twain.
That he made Europeans like US Is
still evident from the constant popu-
larity of his works abroad.
The American Chautauqua platform
Of today IL keeping alive In America
this spirit Of humor and keen appre-
citation of the value of life in more
than one way. but especially is it's
contribution to American humor no
ticeable in the lectures of Miss Mil
dred Leo Clemens, cousin of the
late Mark Twain, who possesses a
large share of the native Clemens
ability.
Miss Clemens has also preserved
the memory of Mark Twain by bring
ing to her audiences lecture on Ha-
wall that is based on her travels there
over the same paths that Mark Twain
pursued earlier She brings with her
also for the third day of the Chautau-
qua views of the island and a group
of native singers. which she visited
Hawaii last April to secure.

PROPOSAL
THAT ITALIAN BE
TAUGHT IN SCHOOLS

Rio de Janeiro. Dec. 4.-(Mail.)-
Some. Brazilian government officials
oppose the Italian governments pro-
posal that the italian language be
taught in Brazilian schools in districts
largely occupied by u Immigrants from

h .~labbr#and emigration agreement
which the Italian government recently
offered to Brazil. The Brazilian d.
rector general OF commercial and
consular affairs has presented a re-
port on. the subject to his government
%0bjecting to this proposal.
The agreement planned to regulate
the future settlement. Of Italians in
Brazil, where. they already form an
important part of the population, par
ttcularly In the coffee producing state

also that arbitral tribunals be set up
to decide controversies between
workers and their employers.
d. Objection is made by Brazilians on
the ground that obligatory teaching
OF Italian would increase the diff
Guilty Of assimilating the immigrants
to the national life of the cbuntry,
giving rise to the same complaints
formulated against the teaching of
German in the large German settle
ments in Santa Catharina state. This
state had become SO Germanized that,
after Brazil entered the war. teach
ing of Portuguese and other national
subjects was made obligatory in all
schools throughout the union.
