PRESIDENT NARUsE, FOUNDER
OF JAPAN's woMAN's VARSITY.

They have the advantage of our girls in
not wearing corsets and they are de-
veloped along natures lines.
AS we go from the gymnasium through
the yard to one of the other buildings
we see class of maidens walking the
pole. This is an exercise common to
every girls school, and I am told it pro-
duces excellent results. The pole is log
about foot thick and thirty feet long
SO slung by means of two chains at each
end that 1t hangs horizontally about a
foot off the ground. The teacher starts
the log swinging back and forth and the
girls step on at one end of 1t and walk
to the other. 1t takes some skill to main
ton. and 1t brings into play almost every
muscle of the body. have tried it sew
eral times and ANONYMOUSLY failed.
These peeresses walk 1t with ease.
The classrooms are not unlike those of
the United States. with desks and chairs.
save that all the chairs are cushioned
with green. We visit one class and listen
to a lecture on physics. About fifty girls
are taking notes In Japanese script. and
they hardly look up as we enter. We go
to the laboratories, where they are study
ing chemistry and on into music rooms.
in some of which are taught foreign play
ing and singing. and in others the music
of Japan. In the latter the girls play
upon the goto. sort of horizontal harp
or guitar which rests on low bench. The
instrument is about five feet long, foot
wide and 1t has half dozen or more cat
gut strings. In another room we hear the
girls reciting English. and in another see
them studying French under a Japanese
major, who learned the language in Paris.
Every pupil is required to study either
French or English and the professor tells
us that most of them choose the latter. He
says that the school has three divisions
known as the primary. middle and grad
uate sections. The girls enter the pri-
mary school at the age Of six and remain
there until twelve. During this time they
are required to study four or five hours
a day. and Saturday from three to four
hours. The middle section requires five
years. and after graduating there the
students may enter the graduate section.
which is sort of master of arts depart
ment, and which has term of three
years. In this department there are
courses in Japanese literature and art
as we'll as in the several sciences and
languages. Most girls graduate at about
twenty, but only about one-half of those
who enter remain for graduation. So far
the school has had more than two thou
sand graduates
The Peeresses' School is by far the most
fashionable and aristocratic of the empire,
and a large part of its purpose is to fit
the girls to take their places in society
both at court and at home. Many Of
them become the wives Of generals.
statesmen and diplomats, and they have
to uphold the position of their people
They all learn to draw and paint and
they do so most beautifully They are
taught sewing and embroidery and some
of them do good work in sculpture. The
Japanese are naturally artistic. and even
the small girls write and sketch with
great facility.

to make it still longer The school hours
begin at and last until ,. and there is
a recess of fifteen minutes at the close of
each hour for the children to go out in
the open and exercise. Every school has
it's gymnasium and every girl is required
to spend three hours each week in ath-
letic exercises under the direction Of
we'll trained instructors. The result has
already been a great improvement in the
physique of the children. and it will re-
suit in making the uncorseted Japanese
girl one of the best developed of her
sex.
The studies. of the elementary schools
are just the same as those of the United
language are added. In most OF the
schools English is taught, and in not
few cooking. sewing and other branches
of domestic science.
Japan has now large number of girls
high schools although as a rule the most
of the children drop out at the end of the
ordinary grades. In the high schools ad-
vanced mathematics such as algebra and
geometry, are taught and also botany,
physics. chemistry. biology and hygiene.
They have a special training in the Japa-
nese language and composition and also In
morals.
In the normal schools the curriculum is
still more advanced. These schools are
for teachers. and there are sixteen In the
country devoted exclusively to women.
The students go out to practice teaching
in the various public schools. and when
they graduate are given positions as
teachers. In these normal schools there
are courses of gymnastics mathematics.
physics and chemistry of two years each,
and there is special course of domestic
economy of three years. Some of the
more brilliant graduates are sent abroad
to study at the expense of the govern
ment. When they return they are re-
quired to teach in the government schools
for six years. Among such students is
Miss Takeda, who was sent to Wellesley
College, and Miss Tetsu Yatsui, who has
been educated at the Cambridge Training
College in England. Upon Miss Yatsui's
return she was sent to Siam by the gov
eminent to found a Mobiles School there
and she is now on her way here to teach
in the Peeresses' School, A number of
other Japanese teachers of these normal
schools have studied in America. the ia
vorite college for such education being
Wellesley.
I have recently visited many of these
schools, and within the past week have
gone through the great school established
by the empress for the daughters of the

Many Of the alumni are carrying on
postgraduate work. Among other things
I was shown diagram gotten up to dis
prove the statement that education is a
bar to matrimony. This diagram by
means of red lines exhibited the percen-
tage of students who have married since
their graduation. From it I see that all
but about 10 per cent of the first class of
six years ago have entered into the bonds
matrimonial and that large proportion
of the graduates of each class since then
have done likewise. I doubt II any grad
uating class of Vassar, Wellesley, Smith
or Bryn Mawr can show as good record.
In addition to this the alumni associa-
ton has a dairy. gardens, a chicken yard
and a cake-making establishment 1t

some in the libraries and nine are study

something like six hundred students Vas
sar has over a thousand, Wellesley
twelve hundred and Smith fifteen hum
bred. This institution has now thirteen
hundred in attendance but about five
hundred of these should be put in the
preparatory classes. as there are branches
of the school running down to the kinder

years old AS far as can judge the ages
