YOUTH AND OLD AGE 



This tattooed design is peculiar to the Tsalisen Group, whose members ceased to hunt 

 heads more than a century ago. They are now good farmers, and through their frequent 

 intercourse with the Chinese have become skillful blacksmiths and carvers. Many of the 

 women of this tribe wear dresses with long trailing skirts. 



tending public schools is only a little over 

 13 as against a rate of over 95 for the 

 Japanese children of the island. Opium 

 smoking is controlled by license. About 

 2 per cent of the Chinese at present 

 smoke opium, but eventually this will 

 stop entirely. 



The future of Formosa under its pres- 



ent benevolent paternal government looks 

 bright, indeed. Never before has this 

 island, so beautiful to the eye, enjoyed 

 such a degree of prosperity. Old in- 

 dustries are thriving, new industries are 

 cropping forth, foreign trade increases 

 yearly, and the general welfare of the 

 Formosan people is steadily improving.
