Janan q Very Poor Country

In spite of recent progress Japan is
poor, miserably poor. Not two per
cent. of the whole population wear
shoes, and the food of the masses
consists of rice, fish and vegetables.
The struggle for life is so close that
the rice raised in the country, and of
a superior quality, is all sold to be
sent abroad, and the farmer who
raises it buys rice from China be-
cause it is cheaper.
The amount that laboring man
can earn will not average over $40 a
year of our money. l mean in this to
refer to unskilled labor. The pay of
a policeman is sixteen yen ($8) per
month, and the position is much COW
eted The pay of a soldier is ninety
sen (forty-five cents) per week; pub
lie officials are paid very small SAL
aries; heads of departments in the
Government service are few who re-
ceive over fifty yen ($25) per month.
But everybody works, even father.
Children of five years carry the baby
on their backs and may be seen in
countless numbers playing about the
streets with the younger member of
the family comfortably arranged in
the kimono, and perhaps sleeping
placidly while the nurse is playing
hop scotch or learning the rudiments
of baseball. A few brief years in
school, during which time his or her
leisure hours are spent in learning
wood carving, box making or produc-
ing some of the wonderful varieties
of articles that are everywhere on
sale, and then the real life of work
begins. Boys and girls of fourteen
years of age are to be found in the
silk factories, cloisonne and porcelain
works, and in every industrial line.
Many of them not having such op.
portunities take their part in the
commoner kinds of labor, but as far
as 1 have been able to see none of
them become loafers.-Denver Post.
