Doctor Sullivan Gets Data for Eugenics Congress. — HAS AN INTERESTING EXHIBIT Anthropologist of Amorlcsn Muooum of Natural History Span da Much Tima In Hawaiian Islands Compiling Data Concerning the Origin of the Polynesian Race—Studioe Racial Strain« That, Have Been Trane- planted to islands. One of the most Important con- temporary contrlbutlons to the science of eugenics and the study of racial characteristics has just been com pleted at the Bishop museum at Hono lulu by Dr. Louis R. Sullivan, an thropologist of the American Museum of Natural History of New Tork city. Doctor Sullivan has been at work for two months on the compilation of an exhibit which will occupy an Im portant place at the Second Interna tional congress of eugenics to be held at New York September 22 to 28. Doc tor Sullivan spent more than a year tn the territory, Investigating along anthropological lines, chiefly concern ing tl«e origin of the Polynesian race. I The Bishop Museum exhibit, in his opinion, will be one of the largest and most striking shown at the congress. It has been assembled by the museum under the supervision of Dr. Herbert E Gregory of Yale, who Is director of ! the Institution" The exhibit includes 50 plaster casts : and more than 200 photographs. Representatives of eMery race found In the territory co-operated In tbe compilation of the exhibits — among them Hawaiiens, Americans, Portu guese. Japanese. Chinese. Coreans. Filipinos. Hawaiian-Chinese, Hawai ian Americans and Hawaiian Filipinos. Gets Important Data. MATURDAY, OCTOBER 1, HMM | various Influence« entering Into th« development of the composite race that flourishes In Hawaii today. Ho haa analysed the interbreeding of th« ' rue« famlll«« of Hawaii, allowing by figures th« exact proportion in which each race has assimilated Itself with ; the others and the exact extent to which certain races tend to remain ' distinct as to ethnologic grouping. According to Doctor Sullivan's I analysis of 14.589 unaelected mar- 1 rlages during the five-year period from 1912 to 1QI7, In^uifl'»', men of ( Caucasian Hawaiian blood showed a i greater tendency to mate with the f Hawaiian strain than did the women. In the ratio of 32.7 to 20, while the women of Caucasian-Hawaiian strain showed a greater tendency than the men to mate with the white race in the ratio of 32.5 to 13.8. Men of Asiatic-Hawaiian blood who chose mates of the Hawaiian strain exceeded the women In the ratio of 48.4 to 29.7. A Century of Chang«. A paper has been prepared by Doc tor Sullivan to illustrate a century of change In the population of Hawaii. The table proves beyond question the existence of tendencies which hereto fore have only been suspected, The »8 years between 1823 and the present show a decline In the number of pure-blood Hawaiian* in the islands, but the increase tn the num ber of part-Hawallans has not been even remotely corresponding. For» in stance, the number of pure-blood II«- wa Ilans In 1823 was 142.000. Thia number had decreased ns early as 1832 to 130.313, and four years later to 108,579. In 1853 the number was 73.138. The decrease since that tim« has been steady and uninterrupted, until tn 1920 the total number of pure- blood Hawaiian« had shrunk to 23.- 728. But the total number of part- Hawallons In the same year was only 18.027, and the part-Hawallans have shown only a very small ratio of In crease since this element first became pne jf Importance in tbe total popu lation. i*he table takes into account the beginning of every separate_raclal In- . fluence that has made Itself felt tn the territory In the last century. The Chinese Immigration, starting In 1852. was the first Important movement along this line. Seven years later, in 1859. the South sea immigration be gan to make Itself felt, and In 1865 and 1878 there were distinct move ments of the Micronesian population to Hawaii. The first wave of Japan ese Immigration came In 1868. and was of minor importance. Ten years later came the first Portuguese immigration, and from 1881 to 1885 the first move- ments of Germans, Norwegians and Swedes. As delegate from the Bishop museum to the eugenics congress. Doc tor Sullivan will read a paper dealing extensively with the racial characteris tics found in Hawaii. His conclusions | may be regarded by anthropologists everywhere as authoritative. Of all the racial strains that have been transplanted to Hawaiian soil the Chinese and the Portuguese ap pear to thrive best under the climatic and other conditions found here, in the opinion of Doctor Sullivan.
