Preference Now Shown for the Study
of English.

Special Cablegram to The Star
TOXIC, September 2S-IThe newspapers
here comment on the fact that the study
Of the German language in Japan has gone
largely out of fashion in recent years.
They base this conclusion on the returns OF
the Language School In Toxic.
1t appears that at the first graduation
ceremony Of that institution, in July 1900.
the languages which had been most studied
were English, Chinese, German and Rus
s1an, in that order. Three other languages
had been taught, namely, French, Spanish
and Korean, but there were only three
graduates in each. At that time Germany
stood third upon the list Two years later.
in 1902 the number of graduates In Eng.
llsh had doubled. those in French had in
creased by GO per cent (that is to say,
from three to eighteen), and those In
chinese had undergone diminution. while
nothing was said about the graduates in
German. In 1904 and 1903 the graduates in
ShineSe mad more than doubled, those In
Engllsh mad markedly diminished, and all
the rest had increased more or less In the
order Of the returns for 1900
rms year the figures were: English. 20;
ish, 10; Korean. Is: German, ID and ItaI-
ian, /. 1t Will thus be seen that Germany
mas fallen or from third place to seventh.
Inc reason assigned by the Japanese news
papers is that German no longer attracts
practical students. but commends ITSELF
only to those who contemplate the Learned
professions.
