WOMAN IN JAPAN.

Femanfne Education = Strange MIN.
Cling of the Old and New.
Until the reign Of the present mikadt
the status Of woman in Japan was tha
laid down by COnfucius for China. Hell
code of conduct was comprised in two
wOrds--obedience and silence. With the
opening Of Japan to the outside world
ancient traditions OF woman's sphere
were shaken. The Jap alone of opien
tails has sense enough to see that no ma
ton can become great unless its moth.
ers are intelligent. When the new pub.
lie schools for boys were founded,
schools for girls We're started too.
Even among the ranks of the royalty
and high nobility of Japan 1t is under.
stood that school is better for girls than
mere instruction at home, because as
ISOLATION on equal terms with other
girls broadens her intelligence and
strengthens her character. In this
respect the Jap has more common sense
than some shoddy American aristo-
Gratis, who on no account would LET
their daughters be taught by anybody
but tutors and governcsses at home.
The kindergarten Is Il mixed institu-
ton in the mikado's land. He himself

his subjects shall be. When he got the
temporal power in his own hands, with
one stroke he cut through many of the
OLD traditions. No theological creed

ne decreed, only in lieu thereof a sys.

and duty toward country and parents
sum up the mikado's code Of ethics.
From the time she leaves the kinder.
garten at the age Of six till she quits
school altogether at the age Of eight
cen the Jap girl hears day In and day
out the preaching Of the doctrine of
love Of country. No wonder the Japs
are patriotic. The splendid patriotism
the schoolgirl learned she in turn in
culcates into the heart and soul Of her
own sons and daughters. How many
American mothers systematically teach
love OF country to their children? In
this respect many time the "hea-
then" Jap mother puts them to shame.
After leaving the kindergarten the
little brown girl enters the elementary
school, where she remains four years.
Then she Is graduated to the grammar
school. Four years Of that, then the
young lady who is going in for more
education continues on through the
high school and college. At school q
