eXquisitely beautiful country. which had
never in recorded time been conquered or

moreover, many artistic achievements

UP into a fanatical cult of the imperial

less difficult than Japanese is to us. \
proof of this may be found in the fact
that one seldom comes across Japanese
who speaks English passably well. Many
who have studied English long, and pos
sibly read it with tolerable ease, are
painfully incompetent when it comes to
speaking.
No doubt most of us can read languages
that we cannot speak, but that is simply
lack of practice. In the case of many
Japanese. no amount Of practice seems to
help. They are congenitally incapable
of framing thought on the European
model. Here the contrast between Japan
and India is very instructive. Indians

Not long ago a station master by som.
small error delayed the progress of an

does it appear that there was any danger

ly killed himself. The point of the anec-
dote. however lies in the sequel. A pro-
fessor in one OF the universities incau-
tiously expressed the opinion that this

Whereupon he was promptly boycotted

that as education and culture take firm

Its natural boundaries. It may seek I,

In the third place, do not believe that

THE ~YElLOW PERMsS" OF THE FUTURE ARE LIKE

no reason to doubt that Japanese educa-
ton, on the whole, makes for national
efficiency within the limits imposed by
the constitution of the Japanese mind.
These limits are to be found, so far as
one can gather. in a certain lack of imag-
spending tendency to fall into convention
al and traditional habits of thought
Hence no doubt, the apparent success
with which Fictitious emperor worship
has, since the revolution of 1868, been
imposed upon the nation.
The Japanese are naturally and proper
ly patriotic. Their history down to the
aforesaid revolution had not been ex-

have very narrow range, but within
that range it is always fluent and often
remarkably good. With the Japanese the
case is just the reverse. Their helpless
struggles for expression often do grave
language.
The Japanese student, in short, has to
face enormous difficulties in getting at
western thought through the medium of
languages with which his own has no
single point of contact. True, he has not
as a rule to struggle with Greek and
Latin: but in some cases, at any rate,
Chinese takes their place in his currcu-
lum. The result is a tragic frequency of

ten children in Japan for every one that
is visible in England. This is partly eX-
planned by the fact that the street is
the Japanese nursery, and that the nor
NAL Japanese house has no walls in the
daytime. But IL the contrast between
Japan and England be partly explicable.
