takes his education not simply as q
personal opportunity, but as part of
his service to his sovereign and to his
country.
1t goes without saying that in Japan.
as in other parts Of the world, there
are students who are lazy and indif-
ferent and who fall by the wayside;
but on the other hand, the average
college student Of Japan looks upon
his education less in the light of a per
sonal opportunity and more in the
nature OF call to serve his sover-
eign and his country. College spirit
is with him synonymous with patriot
ism. 1t is not local. but national.
With him, education is matter Of
personal ambition, but always with the
ideal OF serving his native land.
The influence that goes far to con-
ceal from the outside observer the
fact that the underlying ideals OF the
Japanese and American student are
much alike is the difference in the
phl1ObOpuy VI il0 UO1HOCH VIC cant
and the west.
The philosophy that the Japanese
student learns teaches him to repress
his emotions, to conceal from the
world the evidences or suffering and
OF joy, of love and Of hate. The phil
osephy of the westerner permits him
to exhibit freely these emotions.
But the educated westerner who can
look below the surface to the human
nature beneath win understand that q
gentleman has heart in his
bosom, even If his code Of life teaches
him to express his joy and his sor.
row in ways that to western eyes
seem cold.

every reason to be glad and proud over
this. 1t has arisen not only out OF
the need of the Japanese for a con-
venient medium of communication and
the availability Of the English language
for that purpose, but 1t means also a
genuine liking of the Japanese for the
language and the institutions of Great
Britain. 1t represents, In fact, an eff
fort on the part of this progressive
nation to adopt into her own civiliza-
ton those moral and practical ideals
which she has recognized with friend
ly admiration in Great Britain and IN
America.
Other Points of Similarity.
Not only is the form of education
much the same in America and Japan,
but a comparison of Japanese and
American student ideals shows extra.
ordinary points of similarity. The ia
panese show alertness, resourceful-
ness and power of initiative. Further
more in the Japanese student is the
extraordinary individual ambition to
succeed coupled generally with an
idealistic impulse toward patriotic and
social service.
The Japanese people have inherited
a deep reverential devotion toward the
imperial house which affects student
ideals as profoundly as those of other
groups of the population This intense
feeling is the heritage Of many CEN
turtles, and all education has its roots
in it. From the time that the Japan
csc boy enters the primary school until
he leaves the university there are be-
fore him always and in every act of
his student life the solemn words Of
the imperial rescript on education.
rs a consequence of this deep nat
Ional feeling, the Japanese student

pursue in Canada and the United
States. So far, therefore, as the char
acter of the schools is concerned and
the subjects that boys and girls study,
Japanese youth and youths in Canada
and the United States are educated in
much the same way.
DR.. Pritchett points out, however,
there is one remarkable difference Of
detail in the school curriculum in
Japan and in America that arises out
of the comparative isolation Of the
Japanese people from other highly
civilized industrial nations. and which
cannot fail to have an enormous eff.
feet, not only upon the intellectual de-
velopment of the youth Of the nation,
but also upon their relations to the
citizens of other countries. The peo-
pie of Japan speak language which
the citizen of no other civilized nation
expects to learn.
In order, therefore, that Japan may
be in touch with other nations. Japan
ese children must learn a foreign Ian
guage, and must learn it well. The
international language of Japan is
English, and it is not too much to say
that in Japan today English, with
the resulting knowledge of the litera-
ture, is the most influential single
study that the Japanese child pursues.
Every Japanese child who goes be-
yond the primary school takes up in
the middle school flve-year course In
the English language; and If he goes
through the high school he must have
three years more of it; If he completes
his education in the university, he has
four additional years Of training in
English.
Every one, therefore, Of the thou
sands of graduates Of the Japanese
has had thorough
in the English language and
is, In fact, effectively equipped for us
ing English as his medium of com
with the :est Of the world.

new slogan, stay on the farm" with
out radical methods:
In eastern Pennsylvania, the sum
mer season always brings along a
scarcity of farm help, and here the
Queen Of the Household has during
number of years solved the difficult
labor questions. A famous woman
lawyer once said, that woman de-
mands the right to work at whatever
she pleases, and that she also has the
right to compete with the stronger
sex in all branches of work; because
she was the original worker on this
earth, ever since the human race
sprung into existence, and that since
this period she has been able to
make her own living and that of her
offspring"
Not on this theory alone, but on ac-
count of the fact that the wives and
daughters of the sturdy farm
ers in this state, love to do
manual work, at periods when the
kitchen drudgeries allow her to step
into the open air and take part in
work that her husband, and her broth
er is accustomed to do.
With modern farming methods in
PRODUCED by improved machinery,
women can do a great many things
on the farm, which might otherwise
prove burden. In those sections it
is not only the wife and the farmers
daughter, and daughters Of every
day laborers, who are glad to go In
the fields at hay-making and harvest
time, for the wages they receive dur
ing the busy periods when labor is
scarce is nearly on par with
that paid to the stronger sex. and
even much more than the factory sis
tiers receive in the cities, besides CIV
ing them the opportunity Of working
in the open air instead of poor UNI
ventilated factory, receiving besides
the good dinners that are served by
the farmers in those localities, with
fresh milk and butter, friend chicken
and ham, good waffes and pies.
Are the manifold duties on the
farm too strenuous? The average
farmwife, who loves to go In the
field for a change. says she prefers
this work to that OF a chambermaid
in a large hotel. who works from
five in the morning until ten o'clock
at night; she even would prefer to
walk behind pow handles all day,
rather than scrub waxed floors or
wash dishes all day long in a city
mansion.
However, farm work is not all so
hard as blowing. The selfbinder al |
lows the farmers daughter to operate
It around the ten and twenty-acre |
fields, with about as much ease as the
farmers son would be able to do 1t.
The improved hay-rakes and hay \
tedders are nowadays easy to operate
and with a little skin they easily
manipulate them.

they cultivate the corn later on. Pre-
pairing the sod with the land roller

They have been reading agricultural
papers, some have attended agricul-

not only studied domestic science to
be useful in the farmhouse kitchens;
but they have studied feed rations,
dairy methods and soil fertility, so
that they know better how to feed a
dairy COW correctly than did their
fathers a decade ago. They are also
able to enforce the sanitary methods
in and about the dairy barn, SO that
meat and milk inspectors need not
spend extra car fare to inspect their
farm premises.
Still some of their work is done as
mother and grandmother used to do
it. Small farmers, who do not wish

modern machinery, still cut their
grain with the cradle, and the daugh-
tiers bind the grain No corn husk-
ing machines have yet been invented
that husk corn like human hand
can, so women are seen in corn fields
in great numbers. Those farmers
who still cut their grass fields, and
particularly wet meadows, still use

Many farmers still use the horse
power for operating their threshing
machinery, and here the young wom-
en- find numerous tasks they can do,
such as acting as driver, whipping
and urging the horses around and

horse power shed, feeding the sheaves

Day after day the words Queen of
the Farm" becomes more Of reality,
because rural life is rapidly changing
for the better. The school are bet

greater factor in most rural commun-

be glad to advance the new slogan:
"Stay on the farm thus keeping

besides showing an equal interest in
the method of marketing farm prod

modern soil surveys which tell the
farmers just what is lacking on his
own farm.
The modern farmers wife does not
think her household duties drudg-
cry any more. Her better half has
seen that the day is at hand for bet
ter conditions, so he has installed a
modern heating system in the farm
house, bath rooms and f1rst-class laun-
deries. The kitchen is remodeled and
equipped in the best sanitary way

colonial table working butter into the
old-fashioned forms, she has the
cream separator or the community

easier, or eliminate 1t altogether.

Singing Of Wires Laid to Tremors.
A new theory of the singing Of tele-
graph wires has been offered by Pro
lessor Field. No explanation yet given
seems to have been perfectly satisfac-
tory, and the suggestion is now made
that the sounds represent minute
earth vibrations, which are trans
mitted to the wires through the poles
These vibrations depend largely on
varying air pressure. The song of the
wires, therefore, may give good baro-
metric signals. a sharp sound indicat-

"a HE JAPANESE boy has a school
experience quite similar to that
of the United States boy, writes
DR.. Henry s. Pritehett in the
Youths Companion He begins
his education at the end Of the sixth
year in a primary school, in which he
spends six years. In this school great
stress is laid on moral education. The
middle school, which follows it, lasts
five years, and corresponds in part to
the last years of the grades U. S.
schools and the first year of high
school.
From the middle school boy either
goes to a college to learn a vocation
or enters higher school for three
years course in preparation for the
university On completion of the
higher school he may enter one of the
two imperial universities, which have
professional courses in law, medicine,
science, literature, philosophy, engi-
neering and agriculture similar In all
respects to the courses in the better
universities Of our own country.
The Japanese boy thus begins his
education at about the same age as
the boy in the United States, enters
the university a little younger than
the United States boy, and finishes
his professional school somewere be-
tween the ages of twenty-three and
twenty-five

wisdom of those that have inveiged against the practice of prophets, or whether the Republican politicians and statesmen of the last decade were in truth seres and sages.
 The test should be more than fair, so far as the high tariff prophets are concerned. By their prophecies, they waived the right to fall back on any difference in the condition of the country now and that immediately prior to the low tariff victory of 1892, for the allegation upon which the prophecies were based was that the panic of 1893 was due to the low tar fir victory of the preceding year and that alone. And the Underwood-Sim mons schedules are so much lower than were the Wilson German rates that the latter seem like those of a protection bill in comparison.
 The low tariff that it has been dinned into our ears for so many years would bring down upon our heads another panic is here If the panic does not come, all must admit that other things than a low tariff caused the much discussed hard times of 1896.

 THE importance of railway building
 in Alaska is probably more ap-
 preciated in the Interior than on the coast. We realize that without speedy assistance in the way of rail roads Interior Alaska is bound to go down instead of forward as it should. Town and country have gone as far as they can in the Interior without as sistance in the way of better trans portation facilities and cheaper aids of every kind to emprie building. A land of magnificent distances, Alaska can only develop slowly and in spots, as a spot is favored by stream or rail in gress and egress. Water routes work not half the time, while rail routes work all the time, and there can be no comparison between the two trans portatiOn possibilities.
 Given a railroad into the Interior, and everything in the way of progress, development and unbuilding would be easier. The thought that our railway is almost certain to come within a reasonable time is the sustaining force upon which the people of the Panama must exist to a great extent.

PARTY PROMISE FULFILLED

TOR the first time since the adop-
 ton of the Morrill, tariff bill, just
 after the outbreak of war be tween the States that followed the in ausuration of Abraham Lincoln had created a demand for unprecedented revenue. the American people have a tarin law in framing which the in terest of consumer has been cOnsid- cred as equal at least to that of pro ducer The result is one that has been fought for "a long generation through"
 The ultra high tarin system adopted first a half-century ago to provide the government with the sinews of war has been supported and maintained for third of a century for the avowed purpose of permitting American manu- lecturers to fix the prices of their prod ucts in the markets of the country. They have done this with their own in terests solely in view. With the home market protected against invasion from abroad. they have formed trusts and combinations that not only decid- ed the selling prices of their prod ucts but the price which they would pay for the raw material they con sumed. The perfection of this sys- tenn required that one interest after another had to be considered. When the tariff given one bore heavily on another the latter. as a matter of com peusation. was given privilege to lay its own tribute upon it's consum- CTS. And so it went down the line until it embraced and gave artificial support to the entire industrial fab ric of the Nation.
 The political party through which Wilson became President and which gave us the present Congress held that the artificial conditions created by this high protective tariff must be removed. and business again placed upon natural basis as a condition precedent to the restoration of equal opportunity in the United States.
 TO that end the sweeping reduction of tariff schedules was promised by the Baltimore convention, and the Un- derwood- Simmons tariff law is the full ffIrD-ur ,f tho uror1ica
