streets of large city like Toxic,
but never in the smaller towns. For
the babies who reach the asylum
there is what is called the placing
out department, and they go imme-
d1ately to home in some village
where they can have fresh aid and a
mothers care. For this the mother,
who takes the strange baby, is paid
yen a month. This amounts to So
of our money, but has the purchas-
ing power of 81 in Japan. The baby
is supplied with clothes by the asy-
lum authorities.
A second department is the Suga-
mo or school where the asylum
children are instructed from the
tiny tots who go to the kindergarten
to the elementary students, and
from which they go to homes found
for them as far as possible in the
villages. There they become mem
bers of the family, the girl learning
household duties, as we'll as some
feminine occupation, hairdressing,
making artificial flowers, toys, and
needleWork. The boys learn to be
fishermen, farmers, carpenters, ma
compulsory education law in Japan,
and children must attend day or
evening school up to the thirteenth
year.
The asylum holds the position of
guardian to all the children coming
under it's care until they are 20, re
ceiving reports as to the welfare of
the children who go into homes and
visiting them occasionally. FIRE.
Quently a child will be legally adopt
ed by the family in which it has
been placed, and the asylum respon-
sibility ends.
Day nurseries in Japan are all
at Toxic, one at Osaka, and four
private institutions under the care
OF Japanese women. There is one
at Kobe, on the coast. One advan-
tage which the Japanese day nurse
ries have is that they have grounds,
and the children spend their time
out doors in good weather.
Mr.. Takata has made a study of
Institutes for the feeDle-minded in
this country, but there is a small
proportion of such children in his
country, he says. There is one pri-
Vate institution for them, accommo-
dating from 60 to 100 in Toxic, and
experiments are being made in the
treatment Of children only a little
below normal.
The reason given for the small
number of children who become pub
lie charges in Japan is said to be
the integral family life.
eff the members of the individual
family cannot take care of child
or if the child is left an orphan" it
was explained yesterday, there are
outlying branches of the family,
brothers and sisters, cousins and
aunts who will do it. Or if it is in
a small village the people all know
each other, they would not be hard
hearted and another family would
take care Of the child. 1t is very
seldom that it is left to public chart
ty"
There are 1876 public institutions
for children in Japan, and 100000
yen, $25O,000, is spent for them an
nually. There are only 1853 child
rem in institutions in all Japan out
of population Of 65,0OO,OOO.-

Shingo Takata, who has been in this
country since last June studying our
institutions, and who will remain
here for another year and a half,
seeing our large Western cities as
he returns home by way of Califor-
MIA.
Mr.. Takata is the Assistant SUI
perintendent of the Toxic Shi Yoiku-
in or asylum of that city. He is
graduate Of the Imperial University
of Toxic, and since his graduation
has been four years with the asylum.
He has been sent to America by the
municipality Of Toxic, and will pre-
sent a written report of his investi-
cations when he returns.
His conclusions as to the import
ance Of home life were given in the
course Of a talk on the work done
for the destitute children Of Japan
in the institute with which he is
connected, and were very delicately
and politely expressed.
He was amazed at the amount of
philanthrOpic work that is done here,
and at the great numbers of women
who are engaged in it, and cOnsid-
ers their skill and deep sympathy is
striking. Our work is scientific, pro
gressive, and constructive, but he
says:
'Social work is the problem of
the home. Modern civilization is
destroying the home, and no matter
how high the civilization, if there is
not the integrity of the home life
rescue work is useless, for what is
built up in one place is undermined
in another A lot of single men and
women are a menace to any country.
The pressure of civilization makes
is impossible for many to marry and
support home"
The Illustration of the feeling Of
the Japanese in regard to marriage
was shown in the answer to a ques-
ton asked by a Times reporter in
regard to the future of the girls Of
the asylum for whom places are
found in families, where they re-
main until they are 20, learning the
duties Of a housewife and mother
and frequently some mechanical in
dustry as we'll.
'And will they then be fitted for
self-suppOrt, to go out as dOmestics
or to work at the trades they have
learned?"
NO" was the answer; 'the girls
will marry and the family with
which they have been living will pro-
vide for eacn girl the outfit she will
require in the way of wearing ap-
parel and household goods
els it certain that she will mar
ry?" asked the reporter. "And if
all the girls marry, where do the
domestic servants come FROM"
cit is possible that a girl might
not marry, but she undoubtedly will
when she reaches the age Of from
20 to %. There are girls from the
villages who become domestics, and
there are women who have lost their
husbands who may do work of this
kind" was the answer.
The Toxic Asylum of which Ba-
ron Shibuzawa, the President, will
be remembered as having visited
this country, has $4,000 inmates, the
poor and destitute Of the city, the
class which would belong to the
almshOuse in this country, only l.
600 Of the number being children.

PLAN BIC MERCER
UnificatiOn of Important j. p.
Morgan & Co. Lines.
Furnish Broader Basis for More
improvements.

New York, May 14.-Plans of the
New York Central & Hudson River
Railroad company for the un1flcation
of some of the important lines of the
system to simplify the corporate or
ganization and furnish a broader ba-
sis for the permanent financing of i'm
provementS have been announced by
]. P. Morgan & Co. special meeting
of the stockholders will be held June
16 to pass on the plans already ap-
proved by the directors.
With the approval of the New York
state public service commission the
New York Central road has been con-
SoIidated with, or has absorbed by
New York state that previously have
operated separately. 1t is now desired
to consolidate the enlarged company
with the Lake Shore & Michigan
cent of the stock of which the New
York Central road already owns, and
other New York Central lines west of
Buffalo.
In a statement President Brown of
the New York Central said the road
now had under way or in prospect eX-
tensive improvements for increasing
the number of main tracks and term
inaI facilities with a view to handling
additionalStraffic at reduced cost.
The directors of the road explain
that a consolidation with the Lake
Shore is desirable in the interests of
both companies, as thereby the prop
critics may be operated and financed
as a unit
Bonds will be issued under and Sc
cured by a new mortgage, which will
be a lien upon the New York Central
system, including lines recently con-
solidated or merged, and also upon its
lease holding interest in the New York
& Harlem railroad, the West Shore
railroad, the Beech Creek railroad and
the Troy & Greenbush railroad, and
upon three-quarters of the stock of
the Hudson River Bridge company.
The total amount of bonds under the
new mortgage, it is stated, will not cx-
ceed S167, 10000.
