From Painting by E. W. Christmas, 
A MID-PACIFIC SHORE, 
THE TERRITORY OF HAWAII, U. S. A 
States, but a citizen of the world. For here are 
assembled peoples of several races and numerous 
nationalities, with their differing customs, creeds, 
costumes, traditions and philosophies; but all with 
the same general aims and interests—to be at 
peace with their fellows, and so to live and labor 
that their children and their children’s children 
may be better and happier than themselves. 
In Hawaii meet the long ocean highways that 
link the younger countries of modern civilization 
with lands but now really awaking from the 
lethargy of ages. Here are parents and grand¬ 
parents from old Cathay, still speaking the tongue 
of their ancestors, proudly rejoicing in the English 
education of their offspring in American public 
schools and in the many private institutions of 
learning for which Hawaii is noted. The Japanese, 
while providing instruction for their youth in the 
language and history of their forebears, encourage 
them in the acquisition of English and along all 
lines of practical new-world education. 
Side by side, in as mixed classes as may be 
found almost anywhere on the globe, sit Ameri¬ 
cans and various Europeans, ITawaiians, Chinese, 
J apanese, Koreans, and many blends—except 
where the Japanese are concerned, for Japanese 
seldom intermarry with other nationals. And even 
jjf? AWAIT has been discovered more than once,

> World to make complete revelation of the 
Islands. 
Hewspaper men of many lands will return to 
their home cities with first-hand and authoritative 
information to interest and enlighten millions of 
people all over the earth. In language inspired 
by actual observation of the facts, representative 
publicists will acquaint their far-spread reading 
hosts with the unique charm and significant im¬ 
portance of America’s progressive Territory at 
the crossroads of the Pacific. 
October, 1921, will long be remembered as the 
time of the full discovery of Hawaii by trained 
minds. Their opinions will not only advance gen¬ 
eral realization of this mid-ocean archipelago’s no 
small share in human affairs, but will serve to 
increase local appreciation of its peculiar oppor¬ 
tunities. Their writings are bound to emphasize 
the extraordinary advantages of Hawaii’s princi¬ 
pal port and capital city—fascinating and cosmo¬ 
politan Honolulu—as a universal meeting place 
for interchange of creative thought and neighborly 
consideration of problems affecting all mankind. 
To be a citizen of Hawaii Territory, U. S. A., 
is to feel oneself not only a citizen of the United
