Chinese have been brought over here as coolie laborers on the plantations.

They readily intermarry with the native women, and these unions are usually fruitful of healthy and bright children.

It is said that the Chinese insist upon taking better care of their children than the native women, uninstructed, usually give them, and that therefore the Chinese half-caste families are more thrifty than those of the pure blood Hawaiians.

Moreover, the Chinaman takes care of his wife.

He endeavors to form her habits upon the pattern of his own; and requires of her the performance of fixed duties, which add to her happiness and health.
