RULES FOR JAP CHILDREN.
They Are Taught in Their Schools
How to Treat Foreigners


How to Treat Foreigners.
An English newspaper, published
in Japan, printed at one time an in
teresting synopsis OF the rules which
the public schools of that country
were teaching their pupils on the sub.
ject of the treatment of foreigners
This synopsis is reprinted in re.
cent book, The Empire of the East"
by II. p. Montgomery, and is &C,
cOmpalied by some interesting facts
concerning the schools of Japan, says
the New York Sun The rules are as
follows:
Never call after foreigners passing
along the streets or roads.
When foreigners make Inquiries
answer them politely If unable to
make them understood inform the pc.
lice of the fact.
Never accept a present from a for
eigner when there Is no reason for
his giving it, and never charge him
anything above what is proper
Do not crowd around a shop when
foreigner is making purchases,
thereby causing him much annoyance.
The continuance of this practice dis
graces us as a nation
Since all human beings are brothers
and sisters, there is no reason for
fearing foreigners. Treat them as
equals and act uprightly in all your
dealings with them BE neither ser
vile nor arrogant.
Beware of combining against the
foreigner and disliking him because
he is a foreigner; men are TO be
judged by their conduct and not by
their nationality.
AS intercourse with foreigners be
comes closer and extends over a
series of years there is danger that
many Japanese become cnamOrcd Of
their ways and customs and forsake
the good old customs of their forefa.
Tiers Against this danger you
must be on your guard.
Taking off your hat is the proper
way TO salute a foreigner The bend
ing of the body low is not to be com
mCnded
Hold in high regard the worship Of
ancestors and treat your relations
with warm cordially, but do not re-
gard person as your enemy because
he or she is a christian.
Beware of selling your souls to for
eigners and becoming their slaves
Sell them no houses or lands.
Aim at not being beaten in your
competition with foreigners. Remem,
Der that loyalty and final piety are
our most precious treasures, and do
nothing 10 violate them.

about here who would suit her.
