JAPANESE in HAWAII WILL SOON
CONTROL The ISLANDS IF UNCHECKED

Honolulu, r. r., Jan. 81. A
federal survey commission, headed
by DR.. Frank f. Bunker of Washing
ton, which recently surveyed educa-
tion conditions in Hawaii, in a pre-
liminary report, declared that the
momentum" of the Japanese race in
Hawaii puts all other racial groups
out of the running in respect to num-
bers and that the momentum, if con-
tinued, will carry the Japanese race
into an increasingly dominant numer-
ical position, giving their Hawaiian
born progeny in 1890 about % per
cent of the electorate of the territory
The report, which is freely inter-
spersed with tables of figures OBJ
tanned from federal and territorial Of
fetal sources and from the office of
the Japanese consulate-general in
Honolulu, says in part:
with an actual population now in
the islands Of 114,137 Q519), as re-
ported by the Japanese consulate-gen-
eral, against $4,000 Portuguese, the
next largest group, it is clear that the
Japanese race has acquired a momen-
tum which puts all the other groups
out of the running with respect to
numbers.
THAT this momentum inevitably
will carry the japanese race into an
increasingly dominant, numerical posi-
tion, if continued, is clearly shown by
tables compiled from Information OBJ.

COUNTY BOARD
HOLDS NETTING
ON TUESDAY

Barlow, Jan. 31.-(SpeciaD The
county board of public instruction
will hold its regular monthly meet
ing Tuesday, at the Office of the su-
perintendent. 1t is anticipated that the
meeting will be a particularly busy
cne. The work Of the new year, ques-
tion Of attendance law enforcement
and other matters of importance to
the school children. teachers, and
tax payers of the county, will prob
ably be discussed.
The superintendent Office has
been receiving a food of replies to a
request recently issued by Superin-
tendent G. A. Parker. Mr.. Parker sent
out cards about week ago, asking
statement from each teacher. telling
whether she had a certificate, of
what grade, and where her prepara-
tory training was received. Many OF
the teachers of the county took oc-
casion on Saturday to visit the Office
in person to adjust difficulties or to
make explanations. There are a mum.
Ter Of cases, it is understood. where
teachers are teaching without certi-
flcates, especially in the colored
schools, and steps will be taken to
replace these with other teachers who
have certificates or to give them op-
poftunity 70 take the examinations
and obtain them. 1t is strictly against
the law for a teacher in any of the
county schools to work without be-
ing able to show her certificate. 1t
is probable that a recommendation
will be made the board at its meet
ing Tuesday, that the board with
held warrants in cases where the
teachers are unable to give satisfac-
tory guarantees of their eligibility.

COLLEGE In SYRIA IS
CHANGED In NAME TO
AMERICAN UNIVERSITY
(By Associated Press.)

New. Fork, Jan. 31.-The name Of
he Syrian Protestant College at Bel
rut, Syria which is financed and con-
Quoted by Americans, has been
changed TO the American University
of Beirut, under a new charter grant
ed by the educational authorities of
New York state. The reason for this
as given by Albert W. Staub, execu-
tive secretary Of the institution, is:
Our student roll. with 16 races
represented, shows that the college is
no longer Syrian its non-sectarian
character makes the term Protestant
misnomer and the scope and variety
OF instruction has outgrown the orig
inal designation of College, The
American University of Beirut already
has the following departments: Arts
and science, commerce. medicine,
pharmacy, dentistry and nurse'H
training.

tanned from the office OF the Japa-
nese consulate-general and from the
records of the territorial board of
health"
Dealing with the parallel presented
by the methods Of adjustment to is
land influences represented by the
Portuguese and the Japanese races. the
report says: while both groups orig
inally were brought into the islands
to satisfy the need for cheap labor on
the plantations, there is with both a
pronounced tendency to seek better
economic position by breaking away
from the plantations and engaging in
other activities giving promise of a
freer and more ample life.
THE Japanese are ambitious to be-
come tenants, to own land, to set up
business, to enter profession, to rise
above the category of unskilled labor
and as they individually achieve their
ambition. they are, like the Portuguese,
participating more and more in the
affairs of the islands, socially, educa-
tionally, politically. Furthermore,
they are all at work. There are few
triflers and idlers among them. There
are now, approximately, 33S,OOO male
and $1,000 female adult Japanese in
the islands. A table, based upon in
formation obtained from the Japanese
consulate-general shows that 5O,149 of
them are employed in gainful occupa.
