Japanese Im,tattto

The japanese are almost universally
condemned by writers for the Imitation
practiced by them Of late years of western
literature, art, science and invention, and
yet this Initiation seems natural and right
Imagine, If possible, the nation of Japan
leaping across the civilization of hundreds
Of years in half a century,! Think of hor
emerging from the darkness of the middle
ages and standing suddenly forth in the
light of the nineteenth centuryl Would it
not have been worse than madness for her
to have said: This new civilization is
better than ours, yet we will not initiate
1t? We will retain our originality and
perhaps In ages to come we shall reach the
enlightened state now enjoyed by the rest
Of tho world
But fortunately the Japanese did not
say this, but gave themselves up to the
Scquisition of the wonderful stores OF
knowledge opened to them.-Lippincott'
