'Report of the District Nurse
I The report tendered to the Mokihana
' Club by Miss W. Cheek covered the
Mokihana year and included the work
done by Miss Cassarian as well as
that of Miss Cheek herself.
The two main activities of the work
are camp nursing and school nursing.
Camp Nursing
The Territory covered includes some
twenty eight camps of from a dozen
to a hundred or hundred and twenty
houses each. While it has been the
effort of the nurse to keep in touch
with every one of these camps and all
the people In them, there have been
so many emergency and special cases
requiring so much time and attention,
that it has not been possible to carry
out any regular schedule program of
this kind.
In the camps skin diseases far out
number all other complaints, and are
specially bad among the Japanese
children. After these come eye
troubles, cuts, colds, and a miscellane
ous lot of minor ailments. These need
to be carefully and patiently looked
after, all of which takes a lot of time.
Sometimes there is a baby feeding
problem to be solved, and sometimes
the case of a shiftless mother and an
unclean, unsanitary house.
Seme 12 to 16 hours a week has
been given to this camp work.
School Nursing
This branch of the work has been
much more fully carried out. The two
larger schools, Lihue and Hanumaulu,
have been visited twice a week, and
the two smaller ones, Wailua and Hu
leia. once a week.
Sometimes the cases have to be
taken to the hospital for examination
and treatment. Absentees, presum
ably sick have to be looked up and
or treated, sometimes reprimanded and
packed off to school. Malutrition
dealt with sometimes prescribed for
children have to be looked after; an
tecedents and causes have to be en
quired into, the cooperation of the
parents secured etc.
School clinics are of course a large
feaure of this work. It is interesting
to note the great change that has
cor.ie about in regard to them. At
first the children dreaded them, and
escaped from them as fast and as far
as they could. Then they became
phenomenally popular, over crowded
and up roarious, so that the barriers
had to be put up, and the outsiders
eliminated. The care and attention
which have been given in these clinics,
as well as in the homes, is producing
excellent results; there has been a
great improvement, especially In the
line of eye affections and dental
troubles.
The general school health Is fair.
In the Bmall schools Wailua and Hu
leia, it is good, in the larger schools
not so good.
"Lihue is fair, while Hanamaulu is
poor. It is not only the Portuguese
there that are below par but also the
Japanese, Hawaiians and Filipinos are
poor specimens. This seems to point
to poor living conditions of the whole

HONOLULU. June 3. Hawaii's
Federal School survey report has been
received In proof sheets from the gov
ernment printing office at Washington
and it has created considerable excite
ment in educational circles because

only administratively, but academically.
supervision by the school department,
declaring this not only to be imprac
ticable at present, but possible of no
satisfactory results. It does provide,
however, for the teaching of foreign
language in the higher grades of the
grammar schools, but stipulates that
private schools by Orientals shall only
be conducted for the benefit of those
children who car. never become
American citizens.
Probably next in importance to thr
recommendation regarding the foreigr
language schools Is that part of the re
port which declares a re organization

Perhaps the most important phase j ent "itc- u sesta that the school
of the report at this time is In relation
to the foreign language schools. In
no uncertain terms the report recom
mends, more, it insistes upon the com
plete abolition of the foreign language
schools, declaring them to be un
American and a barrier to the suc
cessful teaching of English in the pub
lic schools and the promulgation of
American principals, Ideals and cus
toms. The report goes into detail in rela
tion to the language schools, giving
their history and progress and show
ing that at present there are 1S5 of
them in the Territory, 1G2 of which
are Japanese, with a school enroll
ment of more than 20,000. The re
port also shows that on the island of
Kauai there are more Japanese lan
guage schools than there are public

Hawaii campus and that the students
should be provided with opportunity
for college courses.
In the face of the fact that school

a sensational,' but unsuccessful fight
against the action of the board o.
school commissioners in lengthening
the present school day one half an
hour, the survey commission recom
mends that the school day be length

ing two hours or mere for recreational
purposes.

The report closes with a rosy vision
of the time when there will bo object
lesson instruction in home nursing
and care of the sick; in prenatal
hygiene and care of the infant; and
when there will be properly outfitted
day nurseries where the children can
be properly cared for while their
mothers go out to work. And where
there are more nurses to do all that
is to be done.

Thrift and prosperity, apparently
have hit even the Negro in the South,
who has heretofore been consideded
fairly immune from these things.
Vast numbers of them have partici
pated in the high prices of agricultural
products, through a crop sharing
system, which gives them a generous
share of the outcome in return for
their work. Getting a taste of pros
perity in this way, many of them have
saved money, bought land, and gone
into agriculture or business in a larger
scale for themselves; and in many
cases have accumulated fortunes
ranging for $10,000 to $175,000. This
prosperity has brought an unwonted
consideration to the owners thereof,
so that they are permitted the full use
of side-walks, streets and thorough
fares, as well as a measure of social
recognition.
Cotton is the crop which the Negro
understands and out of which he can
make the largest returns. A negro
who had nothing eighteen years ago
now owns 16U0 acres of fine cotton
land. Twenty five Negros have re
cently clubbed together and bought a
3000-acre tract for $225,000, Intending
to cut it up into 100 acre farms. In
one county of Mississippi Negros own
more than $5,000,000 worth of prop
erty and have over 2000 automobiles.
The phenomenal prosperity of the
Negro in the South, and the realiza
tion that after all the climatic and
commercial advantages of the South
