Is just as vital to agriculture as to in

the subject by the Nationwide issue

No greater melting pots. no more
gallant adventures in Americanization
can be found anywhere under the
American flag than in the public
schools Of Hawaii, whose pupils in.
clude something like 80 races or ra-
cial mixtures.
Ever since the New England mis-
sionaries landed in Hawaii and
started their school 1877 years ago,
education has been a passion in the
islands. No matter how far you may
penetrate into the wilderness of some
Of the outlying islands, it seems you
are never quite out Of sight Of tiny
school of some sort with the Stars
and Strips flying above 1t. These
schools are living evidence that there
is no race suicide In Hawaii, particu-
larly among the Oriental population.
Visitors are always impressed by thhe
number Of children they see every
where.
Between 600 and TOO girl teachers
are brought from the mainland each
school year to assist in public in"
struction, for not enough native
teachers are yet available. The num-
Der OF normal graduates Is increasing
annually, however. and II Is the aim
Of the school authorities eventually
to have home grown teachers in
all the different grades.
No Racial Prejudices.
The school children of all hues and
descriptions seem to have a great
time together, indicating that racial
prejudices after all may not be in
herent, but may be rather matter Of
instruction. Recess at any Hawaiian
school is a remarkable picture. Base
ball apparently is the favorite game
for the two months of November and
temperature and the Towering
plants, foot ball is given the right of
way.
Japanese boys, who are avid for
base ball, are just beginning to play
foot ball. which is a little rougher
game than they ordinarily like. The
Japanese are not of large stature.
either, and this handicaps them
against Americans or Hawalians, or
even Portuguese or Chinese.
Japanese girls have taken to base
bali and play 1t with great shoutings
of mixed tongues, for Japanese chill
dren speak their native tongue at
home and when excited invariably
revert to type. This insistence OF
Japanese parents that their children
use the native language at home Is
great handicap to public school
teachers. They say the children
seem to think in their native Ian
guage and often some Japanese boy,
asked a difficult question. will even
tuaily give his answer In japanese

Mr.. Dennis speaks with some au-
thority. Although having been ION

been blind to the supercilious attitude
Of some others in dealing with the
minions Of the press.
Any newspaper man will tell you
that there Is at least a. measure of
truth in what Mr.. Dennis says about
the treatment at times accorded cor
respondents by "higher-ups."
Some Slightly Higher-Up."
But the term "higher-ups'' is too
broad Of itself. 1t would perhaps be
better to say Slightly higher.ups."
Otherwise a grave injustice would be
done the "highest-ups," who, as q
rule. are as gracious and helpful a lot
Of news dispensers as one could wish
to meet.
1t has been said, in fact, that, math-
ematically speaking, the high-hatting
varies inversely according to the rank
of the officials. That is, the higher
the official position the less the high
hating"
Several cases in point may be cited
in support Of this argument.
Take Gen. John J. PerShing, for ex-
ample. Shielded as he was by an
outer guard of official buffers dur
ing his term as chief of STAFF, the
tinid newspaper man, tf such there

One day scribe who was not so
timid stood arguing. in the face of

through immigration and a high
birth rate, are said to rate just below
that standard.
The Portuguese children are rather
difficult to handle because, 1t Is said,

of the school teachers in Hawaii both
are great. With the Japanese, for in

Japanese language schools, to which
the Japanese children go for an hour
or two after their public school day
is over. The Supreme Court OF the
United States has declared these
schools constitutional and give them

school authorities feel that they are
a great drawback to Americanization

1t must be put to the credit of Sec
retary Kellogg that he has followed
the admirable precedent of Mr..

matte service men who have won their
spurs by competent and faithful serv-
ice in "the career" Seven admirable
appointments have recently been
made.
There Is no department OF the Gov.
eminent in which man of tact and
talent grows more rapidly in efficiency
than in the foreign service. 1t is a
moot question whether it is better to
keep secretaries long at one post or to
shift them frequently from one chan
Gerry 10 another. In the former case
they acquire authority and intelli-
gence and thorough knowledge Of To-
cal policies and prejudices, which is i'm
possible under the peripatetic system,

that IL keeps the men from growing
