Have you ever been in the beautiful islantrs of Hawaii? To think of these islands in the far Pacific, causes a restful minute of speculative thought as to what would happen if you were suddenly ushered upon the scene of bustle and enterprise, evident in the larger towns of this land.

There is a reason for this tremendous increase in business transacted; it cannot alone be credited to the American residents, for other countries are largely represented. But a greater amount of business enterprise can be laid at the door of America, through its efforts to educate the people of the island in American methods.This is illustrated by the following letter which we received from a Hawaiian resident.- PAPAIKOU, July 20, 1910.
