oKUMA is Japan's "Grand

Old Man" 1t is owing very
largely to his breadth of view.
his wisdom, his clear and intelligent
mental grasp of complex situations and
questions that Japan is to-day one o1
the great world powers. Indeed, Count
Okuma might we'll be called Young
Japan's principal creator. About rs
years of age at present, he was slight,
kimonoed lad of Is when Perry landed
on the shores of the Flowery Kingdom,
and realizing, young as he was, that
the difference between his country and
the great nations of the world was the
result of its "closed-door" policy, re-
solved to devote his life to a breaking
down of the old ideals and ideas. and
TO undermining the methods of his peo-
pie. NThe influence of the French Revo-
luton was still strongly felt, and the
ardent spirit of the young japanese
caught its fire. He became a ,reyolu-
ZIONIST but saw before very long that
he was on the wrong track: that the
real secret of a nations growth and
power WIS a wise diplomacy. He be-
came Minister of Foreign Affairs. but
soon discovered that even the most
astute diplomacy availed little if a ma
tion had no money, and Japan had
none. So he became Minister of
Finance, and gradually the truth was
forced upon him that education was
became Minister of Public Education.
1t is. perhaps, in this matter of educa-
ton that Count Okuma has served his
country best. About 35 years ago he
founded The schools which surround his
palace, among which is the University
of Woseda-All, in which some $500
young japanese are carefully trained
according to his ideas. Realizing that
the smallness Of his people was a great
handicap, Count Okuma has put great
stress upon physical development and
has impressed this so upon his country
men that now one sees young japanese
engaged in out-of-door sports and in
various forms of gymnastic exercises,
wherever one goes in the Mikado'S do
main. But to have a nation of large,
strong men it is necessary to have tall
and healthy mothers, and the Japanese
women, largely from their custom of
sitting so much, have been for ages
small and weak. Owing, however to
the efforts of Count Okuma and the
public sentiment he has created. Jap
anese girls now sit on benches in the
schools, and perceptible difference in
growth has been observed since this
great change was inaugurated The
oriental custom of early marriage
which also tends to produce an under
sized and feeble people, this great Jap
anese has endeayored to break uD, with
success with increases with time In
appearance Count Okuma, draped in
his rich silk kimono as one finds him
in his palace home, suggests a statue
OF classic Rome. His white hair is cut
short, his thick eyebrows overhang his
bright black eyes. When he walks one
perceives that he limps. which is owing
TO the fact that one of his feet is arti-
hclai the real one having been lost in
a dynamite attempt against his life
several years ago
