charities and to religion
Among the public institutions now
managed by women may be mention
ed the Nurse association, the Red
Cross society, the Patriotic associa-
| ton, Fukuden-Kwai and Jkei-a
hospital Women are also interested
in many productive industries and in
art activities There are also now
women doctors. and the department of
, communications employs women Of

also being adopted with energy and
this is fitting sequel to the Samurai
injunction that required women to
regulate their emotions and suppress
all those weaknesses that their west
ern sisters usually attribute to nerves.
The Woman's university of Japan
may be taken as an expression Of
Japanese ideas upon the question of
education for women. 1t was found
ed by Mr.. Maruse, who began his
work thirty-six years ago, and who
has been unresting in its advance
ment. The object of the university is
to educate women to fulfill their du-
ties toward the state and society and
to become an influence in the life of
the nation. The university contains
SO buildings, including library of
II 500 volumes. chemical laboratory
/, and a lecture hall.
The curriculum begins with a
l.; TOD ~
ments for household science litera-
ture, English and education, the first
of these including mathematics,
physics, chemistry and physiology.
The university has S65 regular mem
bers. 141 associate members, 81 ad-
visory members, ISL Junior members
and IL honorary members. The fol-
dents by Mr.. Maruse leaves nothing
to be desired for its amplitude and
intent: THE students are enjoined
to learn, ineffaceably impressed upon
their minds, that they are to make 1t
their chief aim and duty to cultivate
and develop to the fullest extent all
their faculties as we'll as their wom-
anly virtues, and to remain faithful
to the university, never forgetting to
be and do good, study and to learn"
Much, of course, remains to be done
for the advancement of women of
Japan, but much has already been
done. Japan has at least broken away
from the ancient traditions Of the east
and has set her foot on the path that
leads to the entire emancipation of
women
In 1873 Japan had debt of $685.

wears later came the Russian war.
Once more the government talked to
the people in the unpleasant language
of government loans. The people OF
Japan, however, apparently enjoyed
this bitter talk. Indeed they became
enthusiastic about it. Five times the
government talked to the people ana
five times the people replied by giving
I'D altogether $30O,0O0,000 In addition
to this amount we raised about $ooo'
100000 from foreign loans. AS In the
time of the Chinese war, the Willing
ness of the people, their enthusiasm,
their appreciation of the honor OF
emptying their pocketbooks Tor tne
state was the same. Ours is the Spar
tan ideal-no consideration for the IN
dividual. everything for the state.
What was not exactly the same was
that our people had very much hard
er time in putting up the $4O,OOO,OOO
at the time of the Chinese war than In
surrendering $3O0,000,O0O at the time
of the Russian war"
The Japanese government is now
carrying out scheme for paying OH
the principal of the national debt.
Prime Minister Katoura decided that
the country must raise at least $685.
if this can be maintained Japan will
have paid her war debts in less than
thirty years.
But she will not find the task an
easy one. She will have to call again
upon a patriotism that has never fail
ed her, but that cannot perform the
impossible. 1t may be doubted If the
taxes can be pushed any higher than
they are now and even the most will
ing taxpayers cannot pay when they
do not possess. The annual taxation
now amounts to almost 16 yen ($S)
and this is very large sum indeed
when we remember that the average
earnings are very small. In 1904 an
estimate was made of the monthly eX-
penses of the average Japanese family
of four, and it is probably fairly cor
rect at the present time. 1t is as fol-
lows:
Northern Wisconsin advertiser. [volume] (Wabeno, Wis.) 1898-1925, 1912-10-04
Yen per day q Yen equal to so cents gold

Willard says in his Far Eastera
Question" that several persons whom
he has questioned estimate the av-
erage earnings of the average jap
anese family of four in the lower
classes at 100 yen $500 annually, as
Stunning that the children are old
enough to work None placed the fig
ure higher than 200 yen annual in
come. Out of this amount the average
Japanese pays 40 per cent. in taxes.
That is a very high proportion, but
the fiscal authorities seem to have no
doubt that it can be maintained, and
probably even raised.
1t seems impossible to economic
except by a reduction of the expend-
iture for ornaments, and there seems
to be little chance for that. Arma-
ments on their present scale are con-
sidered to be absolutely necessary to
the preservation of the national life,
and as a Japanese writer recently re-
marked: "Of what use Is it to econo-
mize the nations finances at the cost
Of national destruction"
In 1907 there were 1926 banks in
Japan. with a total capitalization of
579,62S,220 yen and which showed a
balance In deposits of 1880, 693 ,270

931. Thirty years later the debt had
increase was due mainly to the Chi
nese and Russian war, and a continu-
ing expenditure on a large scale is
necessitated by the national Defense
In the year 1908 the army and navy
cost $144, 189, 1873. Between April 1,
1895, and March /, 1909, the army cost
$376,0S5,OS8 and the navy 1913, 443, 440.
The national defense has cost "a total
s of $3.50, 423,523 within fourteen years
and this without counting the cost of
the Russian war. Corea, Formosa and
Manchuria have demanded heavy
expenditures A merchant marine has
been established, many extensive pub
lie works undertaken, including rail
ways, telegraphs and telephones, and
all these things have been done by a
country that contains only $4,000
square miles of arabic soil.
Under such conditions it is easy to
believe that taxation is the question
Of the day in Japan and has been &c
for many years. Since the outbreak
of the Russian war the land tax has
ranged from per cent. to IT'S per
cent The tax on liquors ranges from
S. per 40 gallons up to 17.40h per
40 gallons, according to the percent
age of alcohol
Then comes the income tax, which
is arranged upon sort Of graduated
scale. Before the war the tax paid
by "juridicat" persons was 212 per
cent, but after the war an additional
tax was levied equal to 80 per cent.
up to 400 per cent. of the ordinary
rate. An income tax Of per cent
and company debentures. All other
persons not already assessed as above
pay a rate in proportion to their in
come. Before the war those with an
income of 800 yen ($150) per annum
paid l per cent, and this increased
according to the income up to 51s
per cent Now the lowest income pays
10 per cent. and the highest 2035 per
cent There are various exceptions,
such as army and navy officers while
engaged in war, widows, orphans, pen
sioners, etc. There is also a tax on
textiles, an excise duty on sugar, and
a substantial revenue from the post
office. The customs tariff also is re-
sponsible for a substantial income
amounting to about $22,000,000 a year
Mention should also be made of the
state monopolies of tobacco, salt and
camphor, worth about $25,000,00O
year.

taxed and their accomplishing re-

tated by the good of the country His
statement is so remarkable that it is
worthy of quotation. He says:

To the first call the people answered
by putting up s25,000,0O0. The govern
ment wanted more, and on the second
call 1t succeeded in getting from the
people $4,000, 000-in all $4,000, 900.
The people gave this amount very
willingly. That fact was very plain

indicated, that they show
no disposition to overstep the boun-
daries assigned to tine, is simply a
manifestation Of the spirit that per-
Vades all classes. 1t Is hardly a Ques-
ton of higher or lower, superior or
Inferior, it is matter of duty of
'bushido."
Certainly the Japanese woman is
not regarded as a handmade She has
never been without her honorable
position in the body polite, nor has
the value of her peculiar duties ever
been sighted. The duties of bushido
are considered to be binding upon the
woman as upon the man, and mas
much as bushido means loyalty so
the woman must be loyal to her hus-
band. as the man must be to the
emperor and to the country. 1t is
only those who are led by a false in
dependence to revolt against all ideas
of service who will criticise ready
acceptance by the women of Japan
of domestic sphere which is as i'm.
portant in its way as the larger serv-
ice to the empire.
But the Samurai woman was not
confined wholly to the household. She
was even taught the use of arms,
that she might help her father or
her husband If the need should arise,
and also that she might defend her
own honor. Japanese history has
many examples of women who be-
came governors, who led military ex-
petitions and who were famous in
literature, art, education and relig
ion. Indeed, the path to public honor
has always been open to the Japanese
woman, but it could be attained only
by public service. There was only
one standard of human value, and that
was adhesion to the national interest.
The woman who performed her whole
duty to the home was as worthy of
veneration as the man who performed
the country.
There have been distinct feminine
periods in the history of Japan. Such
a period followed closely upon the in
PRODUCTION of Buddhism, which, with
its indictments to charity, did much
feminist movement. Such literary
stars as Murasaki Shikileu and Sci
Shonagan not only were the most IA
nous authors of their time, but their
works are still classics. The educa-
ton of women was zealously fostered,
and we hear of meetings at which
women competed with one another in
poetry, music and art. Works of
charity became honorable duties, and
we heart much of the Empress komel,
who distinguished herself by personal
service to lepers.
But the feminist movement in Japan
has attained it's main successes since
the restoration and the fall of the
Shogunate Many Japanese women
have visited foreign countries, re-
ceived a foreign education and re-
turned to their own country to play
the part of propagandists. The popu-
lar education of girls has made great
strides, and even the extension of po-
litical suffrage to women finds its adj
vocates not only among women them
selves, bpt among politicians and
leaders of thought. But progress In
this direction is likely to be slow. A
society that has lately emerged from
feudalism and that is accustomed to
assign fixed duties to its various
grades is not usually tolerant of in
novations or efforts to enlarge the
dism, moreover, is likely to play some
part in retarding the political advance
of women, and in combining her activ.
