I shall highly appreciate your courtesy if you will be pleased to provide me with the valuable information you have at your command bearing on the subject. What I am particularly interested in is the average record of American-born Japanese children and its comparison with the record of American children. Yours very respectfully, (Signed) T. IYENAGA. _Method of Gathering Material_ December 31, 1920. DEAR MR. SHAFER: May I trouble you to select two of your schools in which you have the largest Japanese attendance and secure for me at your earliest possible convenience data as to the number of Japanese children in those schools and the points about them that are touched upon in the accompanying letter? My thought is this--that if we secure records from two or three schools where we have the largest Japanese attendance, this will suffice as a basis for decision as to the other such schools. MRS. DORSEY. January 7, 1921. Mrs. Adda Wilson Hunter, _Principal_, Moneta School, Miss Mary A. Colestock, _Principal_, Hewitt St. School, Miss Mary A. Henderson, _Principal_, Amelia St. School, Miss Lizzie A. McKenzie, _Principal_, Hobart Blvd. School. A communication has been received from Dr. T. Iyenaga stating that he is collecting data on the intellectual and moral status of American-born Japanese children. He is anxious to know the average record of American-born Japanese children in the schools and how it compares with the record of American children. Will you kindly send me statement concerning the results in your schools? Very truly yours, _Assistant Superintendent_. _Replies_ (1) _Office of the Principal of Hewitt St. School, District No. 151_ Report of American-born Japanese Children. January 17, 1921. MY DEAR MR. SHAFER: The American-born Japanese children, who are enrolled in this school, compare most favorably with the American children both intellectually and morally. They are like all groups of children. We find some very bright children and some very dull ones. As a whole, they are more persevering and more dependable than the class of white children found in this school. Miss Oliver, who has been working with the Japanese for the past four years, said, "When with them I feel that I am in the company of well-bred Americans." Truly yours, MARY A. COLESTOCK, _Prin._ (2) _Amelia St. School, City_ January 19, 1921. MR. HARRY M. SHAFER, _Assistant Superintendent_, Los Angeles City Public Schools, Los Angeles, California. DEAR MR. SHAFER:
