HAWAIIAN ISLANDS
INFLUX OF VISITORS In the days of Captain Cook, the very first white man they had beheld, the Hawaiians were primitive and barbaric pagans. It thus came to Captain Cook to be the first to enlighten the world as to theix* customs. The missionaries gave the Hawaiians tlxeir first written language and then taught them to read it. They introduced printing, schools, churches, better homes, diversified agriculture, and. the Hawaiian, being adaptable, quickly became the most highly developed and most' cultured of all their Polynesian brethren. The ideals, customs and institutions of civilisation came to the fore and caused the eounti'y to develop and progress with unprecedented rapidity. Every year sees an ever increasing influx of visitors to Hawaii, by reason of the charms of Honolulu and the natural beauty of the islands.
