 —a public considerably wider than the bounds of 
 the ‘Territory — its editors and publishers have a two- 
 fold purpose. 
 
 First, the book is a standard reference work, compre- 
 hensive, complete and authoritative. It is a publication compiled 
 with a care and a system of collecting information which in- 
 sures its accuracy and insures also that justice is done to its 
 
 subject. It is a reference volume presenting biographically 
 pertinent facts about the men of Hawaii who lead in their 
 respective fields. In general these fields are the business or 
 commercial, the professional, the educational, the religious and 
 the scientific — covering all activities which in Hawaii have 
 brought its men to the front as potent and constructive factors 
 in their communities. 
 
 Secondly, the book is a series of milestones of achieve- 
 ments. It has been truly said that the progress of any gener- 
 ation, of any century, of any country, of any nation may be 
 measured by the biographies of its men. In Hawaii this is 
 true today as in ancient Greece, medieval Rome, modern 
 France, or England, or the mainland United States. 
 
 Hawaii is a modern American community with its roots 
 far back in the past. Here the primitive life of Polynesia has 
 been moulded and modified by the influx of many races, bloods 
 and languages. Here the zeal for public service, for moral en- 
 lightenment, of the New England churchman has brought a 
 missionary influence which nearly a century back paved the 
 way for the outside world of trade and commerce, of educa- 
 tion, of latter-day customs, manners and facilities. ‘The mission 
 ships of the ’20’s of the last century pioneered a pathway across 
 the Pacific followed by the whalers of restless industry, and 
 
later the steamers of many nations cleaved the summer seas on 
 their way to and from the island ports. With varying ex- 
 periences, Hawai developed industrially under a monarchical 
 form of government, with the new populations — American, 
 English, German, French and the like — fusing into the very 
 blood of the country. 
 
 Industrially and socially, the progress of Hawaii has been 
 amazing. In less than a century it has leaped from a more 
 than medieval obscurity and isolation into an intensively or- 
 ganized, modernly-equipped American commonwealth, the 
 most nearly self-governing of all territories, with cities and 
 towns, every public utility, a high degree of popular education, 
 an active part as an integral member of the American political 
 family. Its raw sugar industry — the backbone of commerce 
 —1s the world’s model in efficiency of production. It is a 
 community of schools, churches, homes, factories, agriculture, 
 street cars, electric lights, chambers of commerce and boards 
 of trade, up-to-date newspapers, paved roads, great hotels — 
 in fact, it is a twentieth century American community. 
 
 Here social service and intelligent philanthropy go hand 
 in hand with highly organized industry. The traditions of 
 unselfish usefulness brought with the earliest white residents re- 
 main, translated into terms of a later era. The most striking 
 political development of this present generation — the transition 
 from a monarchy to an American territory — has been also 
 the most striking period of growth in widely varied forms of 
 social service. 
 
 The men whose portraits and biographies make up this 
 book are the men whose activities and influence have brought 
 about this great and permanent change in the Hawaii of the 
 past fifty years. Some of them — many of them — are sons 
 of Hawau, born in the Islands, perhaps with fathers and grand- 
 fathers born here. Others have come from elsewhere, adding 
 new blood, adding energy and ideas. 
 
 ‘‘Kamaaina”’ or “‘malihini’”—oldtimer or newcomer—each 
 is doing his part in the Hawaii of today.
