Money Value Of PoIiteness.

The attitude Of too many public

Wemsn Teachers In Japan.
Tho Japanese have apparently come
10 the conclusion that women make
better teachers than men. Fifteen
years ago, the women preparing for
the profession Of teaching were only
20 per cent. Of the total number. To.
day they constitute IS: the demand for
women as instructors IL much greater
than that for men. The number OF
girls who receive q regular education
Is eight times what 1t was q decade
ago. There is also an eyer-increasing
invasion Of business Offices; in some
Of the largest houses in Toxic and

however. TO interpret this movement
as a sign that the women Of Japan
have suddenly become, mannish. They
have from time immemorial done the
hardest kind Of drudgery. such as
weaving. coal-heaving. and tilling the
soil, which Is Infinitely more the work
Of man than teaching and bookkeep-
ing. Their new employment may
mean a relief from their more arduous
old ones.

You're clever pleader," asserted
the manager, with laugh. "Sit down
