Mora1izing by Japanese Youth.

An English teacher in a Japanese
school discovered, by giving out SUBJ
jects for composition, that pupils had
been trained to find moral in every
thing animate and inanimate. Mr..
Hearn, in his ''Glimpses of Unfamiliar
JAPAN" gives few specimens Of the
moral ideas evoked from the native stu
dents by subjects for English compost
ton. One boy thus wrote on "Mos-
quitoes:" "On summer nights we hear
the sound of faint voices, and little
things come and sting our bodies very
violently We call them ka-in Eng
lish mosquitoes l think the sting is
useful for us, because if we. begin to
sleep, the ka shall came and sting us,
uttering a small voice; then we shall be
bringed back to study by the sting"
To another pupil was assigned the bo-
tan Japanese peony) for composition,
and he wrote: THE botan is large and
beautiful to see; but it has a disagree.
able smell. This should make us re-
member that what is only outwardly
beautiful in human society should not
attract us. To be attracted by beauty
only may lead us into fearful and fatal
misfortune. '-Chicago Inter Ocean.
