EDUCATIONAL REACTION.
FEMALE EDUCATION INCREASES
IN JAPAN
After a Period of of Depression the
Pendulum has Swung Back and Ed
ucation Reports Show Progress.

Some years ago, writes William Il.
Curtis, the higher education of wom-
en- in Japan became fad and the
daughters of every family of wealth
and progressive ideas were sent to
school for modern learning. Then
came a tremendous reaction, caused by
a collision between the sweet girl grad
uate and the customs of the country
No educated woman would submit to
the humliatng servitude to which the
customs of Japan condemn her sex. A
wife is a servant, without rights or
privileges or protection except so FAR
as she may depend upon the generosi-
ty of her husband ne can discard her
when she ceases to please him, and,
according to the religious creed of the
country, women are without souls.
The awakening of their intelligence
and the developing of their intellects
by modern schools caused a mutiny
among the young women of Japan and
an immense amount of domestic trib-
ulation.
AS a consequence the young men of
the country declined to marry those
who had received a modern education
or had become imbued with the indie
pence, self reliance and self respect 1t
inspired. Education became unpopu-
lar, many of the schools were closed,
and those that were continued had but
few students.
In 1895, when / was i'm Japan, the re-
action was at its height but Mr.. Flu
kisawa, the leader of the movement
for the higher education of women,
was confident it was only temporary.
He said the women of Japan had ad-
vanced too rapidly, that public senti-
ment had not been able to keep pace
with them, and that the natural laws
| of development required a rest until
| the people could adjust themselves to
the new conditions, until rational men
could realize that their mothers and
wives and daughters were of the same
! flesh as themselves, and the educated
| women of the country by their tact
and intelligence might entrench them
| selves for a further conflict with Gus
| tom.
Time proved that Mr.. Fukisawa was
a true prophet, for the statistics for
1898, just issued by the Japanese bu-
reau of education, show a decided in
crease in the number of schools, tea
cheers, pupils and graduates.
In 1893 there were 81 schools for the
higher education of women in Japan
331 teachers and 5000 students, with
500 graduates. In 1895 the total drop.
ped to IA schools, 166 teachers, 2,314 stu
dents and 276 graduates. In 1898 the
pendulum swung back and the report
shows 26 schools, 80 teachers, 6,799 pu.
pills and 631 graduates. In 1894 in the
higher normal school for women, sup.
ported by the government, there were
only 10 instructors and SO students; ir
1898 there were twenty-one instructors
and III students.
