The Hawaii Hhiopo also expresses the opinion that the employer of la bor here, after they have tried to secure l'orto Nicsn ami Filipinos, will he forced to turn to Japan and China to secure the necessary labor to keep Hawaii 'a production of food up fo the requirement of the time. "All Hawaii la worried over the present ahortsge of the labor supply in the Ialanda, which shortage is had ly handicapping not only the tugar industry but all other industries," ays Kditor Koga of the Jijl. "The increase in food prodoetion which ia esnvntisl to moke Hawaii imiependent and self sustaining, can not be accom plialiel ao long aa the labor shortage exist anil eimtinnea to grow more acute. Will Thoy Buy? "Portuguese and Spaniards brought into Hawaii at a great cost by the Territory, nre leaving here by acorea for the mainland. The exodus of these laborer at this critical moment ia proof that Hawaii ia not giving theae laliorers sufficient Inducement now to keep thorn in the Ialanda, How can anyone exet that other Porto Bican or Mexican laborer, even if theae art brought here, eould be held in the Inland any longer than the Portu gdese and Spaniard, when the wage are insufficient to satisfy themt "The capitalists are hoping for re lief in the importation of more Fili pino laborers, while in some official quarter a movement to import Chi neae immigranta la oa foot. "Meanwhile a large number of Japa neae immigrants are paaeing through Hawaii on their way to South American eountriea, whero , tha door are open for their entry. "The planter who are looking for the Filipino to aave th day aay that if -they ran only get ship it i a (natter of the easiest to aeeure all the labor needed for the loeal supply. But when ran the ahipa be secured f No one knowa. The planters must wait in vain while a continuous stream of Japaneae are pouring into South Am erira, right in front of oor eyes. "Is it a wlae thus to overlook the Japaneae 1" Sooner Or Later ' The Hawaii Shiopo aays, along the same line: "Success for the planters' plan to Import Porte Ricen or Filipino labor to relieve the shortae in the labor supplies here, all depends On ships i Tuey must appeal to the united mate government for the ships needed to tarry laborers from any available out side aotiree. But aa the ahipa are need ed for arrying troops and supplies aeroaa the Atlantic, with how many bottom Hawaii can be provided is a letter of uncertainty. Anyone who ia familiar with the whipping situation ean see that the plan stand little chance of success. 'We believe iirmiv that the plant era will turn, sooner or later, to Japan or China, or both, for their supply iif laborer. The reason for ao be lieving are because, in the firt plnce, the importation of Oriental require jiit appeal to be made to the I'nited State government for ahipa, and, in the second place, because Japanese or Ctiinese are best suited for labor in the field. "TIip movement just started for the importation of Chinese immigrant is proof thnt the planter arc now fully awnkeneil ti the necessity of necking relief in the present sltuntinn from Oriental source. " w. S. a. Maj. 1.. i. Blackmail report that with the appointment of W. II. Crnd dock, the faculty of the Honolulu Mili tarv Academy for the coming year is now complete. The Senior High School will be in the hands of W, Talkington. who roiuea strongly recommended from similar mainland institutions. Mr. Crnddock will be principal of the new Junior High School, for which work he U exceptionally well qualified. Bv taking up early in the year the business of securing a new faculty, a fine corps of instructors has been brought together und the Military .Academy will thia year be in an eu viable position aa regard teachers. In u 11 depnrtmenta a strong course will be presented. This will be particularly triii with regard to the high achool. For the first year in the hiatory of the institution the full four yeara will be in operation, and as the academy now possesses a course accredited to mainland colleges, the year will be in impurtnut one In the development of the school.

MacCAUGHEY TELLS EASTERNERS of bad features in our system which prevents Americanization Will Find Few Here To Agree With His Generalizations Pub lished In New York Educational Journal - Filipino immigration into Hawaii, the existence of Buddlii-t schools in the Islands and the fret that the bill. .' the population of the Islnud is in eligible to citUenship come in for a roasting at the hands of I'rnf. Ynug ban MacCaughey of the College of 11a nsii, in au article written by him for "School and Society", published bv the Science Prea in New York. Wry many in Hawaii will fail to agree with all that I'rofeasor lac( aughey says. His article in full is: "The complex racial problems of Hawaii are little known to the people of the mainland I'nited States. Mil wali, remote and isolated in the broad ranges of the North Pacific, ha at traded the tourist and the commercial adventurer, rather than the sociologist and the schoolman. A phrase currently used in Hawaii, and sometimes repeated on the mainland, is to the effect thnt ' we have no race problem in Hawaii. ' This phrase is fundamentally unsound, fallacious, and befogging. What ia really meant i that no violent racial antganisma have been given an econ , omic opportunity to express themselves in Hawaii. ' Race problems' are, to a very considerable dejrree, economic in nature. In a country where the life of the people is dominated by a feuda liMic capitalism, and where 'ehefl(p labor' haa effectively driven out the higher types of labor, racial problems "re apparently submerged. Bewildering and Complex "On the' other hand, a more correct statement would be that Hawaii a polyglot, polychrome microcosm -con-taina within its tiny population of 2"0,000 people, a most bewildering'Bnd intricate complex of racial and inter racial reactions. A veritable test-tube, into which numerous mobile element have been collected. The native Ha waiian (rapidly vanishing), and a few South Sea Islanders represent the Polynesian elements. The overwhelm ing Asiatic population comprises Jap anese, Chinese, and Korean; over half the total population is Japanese'. Span ish, Portuguese, Porto Bican, and Fili pino represent the'Latin and Malayan types. Russians, Oermans, a few Scan dinaviana, a few negroes are the re maining elements in the motley horde of 'cheap' laborers that have been im ported by the sugar planters from the back alley of the world. This com posite laboring mass of human ma terial is ernwned by a small group of capitalists, managers, business and pro feasionat men, who are almost wholly American and English. The Oermans due to their dishonorable plotting and espionage during the present war, are now in process of eviction, although they formerly constituted a formidable colonv, a aolid block of 'Kaiser worshp per. ' Chiefs and Sugar Barons "In olden times, and until com para tively recently, there was no middle class in Hawaii. The chiefs owned everything; the common people were slaves. The feudalism of primitive Ha waii was rapidly displaced by the 'au gar barons' and their gangs of coolie contract laborers. At present, under the democratizing influences of the great social and political movements ot the twentieth century, a middle class is slowly making its appearance. "Today the thoughtful people of Ha wnii schoolmen and others realize more clearly than ever before, the ne cessity for really Americanizing the boys and girls who are growing up on American soil. Theae children, despite their alien parentage and all of the unfavorable and uu American influence of their homes through the agency i of the American public schools must ! lie converted into genuine and useful ! American citizens. The 'middle class' i of Hawaii will be built up very largely I from these native born boys and girls. "'For ninny decades the public schools of Hawaii were financially starved ami crippled I'ulilic sentiment among the 'interests' was ugainst 'too much education' for the masses. The educated boy would not work in the icids at coolie pay, an. I live in a shack. An educated girl would not hoe sugar cane with tier baby strapped to her back, as her peasant mother had done. "The private schools, designed as 'finishing schools' for the sons ami daughters of the well-to-do white popu lation, received hearty support, and around them have gathered some of the best traditions of the old aristocracy of wealth and learning. Indeed, when the Pacific Coast boasted of nothing but rude mining camps, the sons and daugh ter of the (lolden West were sent to Hawaii's private schools fur their edu cation. Rapidly Improving "The modern American democratic ideal of American education for ' al' the children uf all the people' is now makiug rapid headway in Hawaii. There has been and is a phenomenal increase in new buildings, floor space, class mums, equipment, and teachers. Com pulsorv attendance of all children be Winn n bill u received yesterday from the S.-luiman Carriage Company by the buurd t hnrlmr eoiniuissioners for the use ..I it truck the members s;it up nnd looked sad. "Why. thi lull seems to be a charge 'oi Sin(l;.ts nnd linliduvi ii i well as .r';"" remarked Commission- it McClellan twc.u -. aggft 0f it, aB( fourtecn la mote rigi. enforced than ever before. Pre vocational, manual and industrial training ia well organised, with trained teachers and supervisors on each island. Practically all of the larger schools, urban and rural, 1iave. school shop and ehool kitchen. In the latter lunches are prepared by the pupils, under su pervision, and sold at cost. At some school ainny hundred lunches are sold daily. In the shops all sorts of school and home furniture aad repairs are mud" by the pnpils, under supervision, and sold at rost. In this way the man ual departments sre partially self sus taining. The V. M. (!. A. has a strong educations! program, with definite Am ericanization prnpagnhria. It 1 dirlng pioneer work. "The school and home garden move ment is now thoroughly organised throughout the island, with a total of several thousand home gardens. Prlxe nre given for the best garden in each district and the newspapers give much publicity to the garde campaign. In asmuch a garden in Hawaii can he in tensity cultivated all the year round, the Importance of thia movement, in increasing the amount of home grown food, is obivous. "During the past spring the Boys' Working Reserve haa beeu effectively organized in conjunction with the pub lic School. At present a large precen tuge of the able bodied boy' pnpnla tion of Hawaii Is enlisted and at work in this important branch of the home 'defence.' A pig raising campaign is also in,4rogrrss at the present time. Poor Boys' Colleges) "Public high school have been e tabliahed on all of the larger islands of the group during the past decade; previously there were but two in the Territory. These 'poor boys' colleges ' are potent agencies for Americanira tion, and are steadilv growing in size and educational significance. Thev of fer general .college preparatorv. scien tific, and commercial' courses, with some shop work, cook ins. dressmsking, etc The vocational and home-training work is expanding rapidly during the present period. .. "Although not a part of the public schools, the Territorial Fair is truly a publie educational institution of large potentialities for the Americanization of Hawaii. A great variety of educa tional exhibit are made, in addition to the standard agricultural and indn trial exhibits. The Territorial Fair 1 a democratic Institution; it stands for the slowly emerging middle clsss, and should have a permanent place in the rebuilding of Hawaii's rural life. Four Bad factors "There are four factors, aside from the basis one of nationality, that mili tate atrainst Americanization in Hawaii. .nd that tend to nullify the work of the publie sehools: , "I. The difficulty of purchasing farm land. There is very little farm land not already under the complete "ontrol of the agricultural corporations ' nd that little is leased at exorbitant -entals. It is practically impossible 'or a white man to go info farming in Hawaii, as he doe on the mainland. There are practically no homes and no farm in rural Hawaii ,as these terms are used on the mainland. There are only corporations, and peasant lessee. "2. The Japanese language schools. hich nre largely under the control of he Fhiddhists, are attended by nearly nil of the Japanese children. These' schools are narrow, superstitious shrines 'or Mikado worship. Buddhism is Snslcallv undemocratic and un-American. So long as ninety-five percent of the Japanese population of Hawaii re nu.ins Ruddhiat, so long will American zution be retarded. The American de mocracy i founded on the ideals and practises of the Christian home. "8. A preponderate Asiatic popula n which is ineligible to citizenship Thia arbitrary and impassable bar to the privileges and responsibilities of eitixcnaliip which excludes only the Asiatic and admits all others, no mat ter bow debased or mongrel is justly resented by the Orientals, und necessar ilv Impedes the true Americanization of their American-horn children. The nat iiralization plan advocated by Dr. Sid ney (lulick w hick the present writer fully advocates would undoubtedly rec tify tin' present unfortunate and un fair sitiiHtion. "4. The continual importation, by the agricultural corporations, of floods of cheap, illiterate, ignorant, and of ten criminal peasants, mostly males, of the lowest classes, from auch regions as the Philippines and Porto Rieo. They have been brought in in such numbers, and permitted to live under such con ditions, thut renl assimilation ha been almost impossible. They tend to de grade and depreciate the whole body of the population. By thus keeping the labor market overstocked with the low est grades of human material, the up building of anything like the American home has been very greatly retarded. Hawaii will never be ' 100 percent Am erican' until the artificially stimulated iMinsraiion me territorial govern ment hns borne, directly or indirectly, the whole expense of immigration), is stopped for a period of time sufficient ly long t enable the public schools, missions, and other social agencies to truly Americanize the present popula tion." f '""" I wna.i II Higclow ac moHlrdgcd that it u. under an agreement In ),ich the compauv was '' '"'' renirs.
