TEACHING PRISONERS
RUSSIANS AT SCHOOL IN JAPAN
Novel treatment Of Seventy Thousand
Enemies Who Were Captured by
japanese Army and Navy.


Enemies Who Were Captured by
japanese Army and Navy.
nlsa very peculiar story that comes
from the Far East, where, according
10 trustworthy information. the Japa'
nese government has organized a
regular program of educational work
for the benefit OF the more than sew.
enty thousand Russian prisoners now
scattered over Japan. The Japanese
have addressed themselves to their,
task in their usual methodlcal and
buslness.like way. A complete census
of the prisoners was first taken, the
Russians. Poles and Jews being sepa.
rated. Then the llllterate, mostly
Russians. were formed into classes,
which were placed under teachers Sc
lected from among the best educated
of the prisoners. under Japanese super
vlsors. In addition. more advanced
educational work was undertaken, In.
struc;ion being impaired in Russian
and Polish. And here Il may be re-
marked that some OF the Polish pris'
Oners have jOkingly remarked that II
has been necessary for them to come
all the way to Japan to learn their own
tongue. which is under ban at home.
The plans Of the progressive little
Japs for the intellectual and moral
improvement Of their prisoners have
succeeded beyond expectations. Even
the amusements afforded the captlves
are OF an instructive character. Books
and newspapers are literally provided
and plays are represented In the
camps, in which Japanese actors per-
form historical pieces, generally in
culcating the fundamental virtues, pat
rlotism above all.
The treatment OF the prisoners
taken in battle can hardly be described
az adding insult to injury, though
some OF the Russian authorities might
he inclined TO consider 1t that way
And II is difficult to determine Just
what the purpose Of the Japanese Is
in this work. which is certain to have
4 powerlul influence upon Russian do
nestle affairs in the near future.
Can II be that Japan is deliberately
lnoculating her prisoners with the
microbes OF education and patriotism
for the purpose of spreading then
abroad through the Russian empire
or is II merely a good natured anC
humanitarian effort to provide occupa
