put by Seoretery Metcalf. and I havs
nothing to add to his statement. I am
entirely confident that, as .Secretary

ment of the state of California is for
law and order and for the proteotlon
of the Japanese In their persons and

"It seems that for several years ths
board f education of San Franciaco
had : been considering the advisability
of establishing ssparats nchools for
Chinese, Japansss and Korean children,
and on May , 10, passed the follow
ing rssolutlon: ...
' B sedations rasas.
" "Resolved. That ths board of educa
tion is determined In It efforts to ef
fect ths establishment of separate
schools for Chinese and Japanese pupils,
not only for .ths purpoae of relieving
the congestion at present prevailing in
our schools,' but also for. the higher end
that our children saould not he placed

"The Oriental school the school set
apart for the Chinese, Japanese and
Korean children, is in the burned sec
tion. Therela only one Japanese, atu-
dent attending this school at the pres
ent time, and there are no Japanese
Children attending any of the other
publlo schools. I visited the Oriental
achool In oompany with the Japanese
consul and found it to compare favor
aoly with many of. the new temporary
structures erected in ths city. Thj
same as at ths other publlo schools,
and competent teachers are assigned
for dutv In this school. Nearly ell of
the pupils attending this school have
to be taught the English language. It
la absolutely Impossible for children
residing In ths remote sections of ths
city to attend the Oriental school.
- Sentiment Against Jape.
"I found tbs sentiment In the ststs
very strong against Japanese young
men attending the primary grades.
Many of the people were outspoken in
their condemnation of thle course, say
ing that thsy would take exactly the
same stand against American young
men of similar ages attending the pri
mary gradea I am frank to say that
this objection seems te me a-most rea
sonable one. All of the political par
ties in ths stats havs Inserted in their
platforms planks In favor of Japaness
and Korean exclusion, and en Harsh 7,
1906, ths state legislature passed a
Joint resolution urging, that action be
taken - by treaty or otherwise to limit
snd diminish ths further immigration
of Japanese laborers into, the United
States.
"The preee of Ban Francisco pretty
gent rally upholds ths action of ths
board of educstlon. Of the attitude of
the more violent and radical newspapers
it la unnecessary to speak further than
to ssy that tnslr tone is the usual tons
of hostility to 'Mongol hordes,' snd
ths burden of their claim Is that 'Japa
nese are no better than Chinese, and
that the same reasons which dictated
the exclusion of the Chinese call for ths
exclusion -of ths Japaneae aa well.
