Ago

CHICAGO, Nov. 29.--Japan is to have a
unique revenge for any real or fancied
Sights it may have received at the hands
of American school authorities if Presi-
dent Otto G. Schneider of the Chicago
school board has his way President
schneider wants to adopt the Japanese
imperial rescript on education as the
standard of ethical and moral teaching
in the Chicago public schools
A copy of the rescript in q new trans
lation recently made by a board of Jap
anese scholars reached the president yes
terday from the Japanese government al
Toxic, where President Schneider's atti-
tude toward Biblical instruction and the
school boards threatened exclusion OF
several Japanese adults from the Chicago
schools have attracted attention.
1t did not take President Schneider long
to discover in the document pointer for
the Chicago schools.
why not?" he said to a visitor who
expressed surprise at the presidents pro-
posal. ''There could be no objection to
using it here. The document cannot oe
improved upon.
''It presents code of ethics which
seems to apply to the west as we'll as the
east. The chief stress seems to be laid on
the development of morality, and that is
right. Learning has really always been
of secondary consideration, and it should
be-"
This Is the Japs' Greed
The rescript. which is sort of educa-
tioi,al creed, was issued some thirty years
ago by the emperor of Japan and has
been used since that time as a formula
for ethical teaching in the Japanese
schools. In part it reads as follows:
BE filial to your parents, affectionate
to your brothers and sisters; as husbands
and wives be harmonious, as friends true
bear yourself in modesty and moderation; /;
extend your benevolence to all; pursue
learning and cultivate arts, and thereby
develop intellectual faculties and perfect
moral powers; Furthermore, advance pub
lie good and promote common interests;
always respect the constitution and pre-
serve the laws; should emergency arise
offer yourselves corageously to the state,
and thus guard and maintain the pros
perity of our imperial throne, coeval with
heaven and EARTH"
"Our education has had no connection
with religion says the communication
which accompanied the rescript; 'and the
new system is entirely free from any
sacerdotal influence Secular morality has
always been taught in the schools and
forms the distinctive feature of our sys-
tenn"

the Charity club would not relieve
