Reasons One Should Be Located Here

Reasons why one of the regional re-

ington were advanced at the meeting OF
the association. Mr.. Father. who pre-
sided, said Washington should be con-
sidered the logical location of one Of
the hanks because II is the cap tai o.

serve board Will have it's headquarters
in Washington was advanced as another
reason for the designation of this city

Queries for Girls Schools.

How soon do girls get married after
= aduation from school? How many
children have they in five years after
marriage?"
These are some of the questions that
the office of education has put to the
girls middle schools throughout the coun-
try. The answers will form practical
statistics and are expected to be of snuch
value to the educational department,
which is contemplating a reform in the
present system of education. This 1t be-
heves to be urgent in view of the feeling
that degeneration of physique is taking
place among girl students.
The educational office had been interest
ed in the question what kind of mothers
the graduates of the girls middle schools
make and an investigation along this
line was made. Then Baron Takagi, pres
ident of the Jikein Medical School, Of
fered some concrete suggestion to pro
questions. He is convinced that the rising
generation shows signs of physical retro
erosion. and says that the causes of this
tendency must be corrected.
The young men and women are stead
lily running low in weight Baron Takagi
decla rs, and there are indications oi
general degeneration. Particu arly is this
noticeable among the girls who have pur-
sued their studies in the middle grade, OF
even the higher schools When they arr
married they prove unsuitable mothers
physically. They are not in condition t6
nurse their own children. So-called ladies
of the upper or aristocl attic classes show
a decided deficiency in this regard"

Coming to Help Solve Land Issue.

Enthusiasm and faith in the success of
his mission fill the Rev. kakichi Tsuna-
shima, a Japanese pastor in the Congre-
gational Church. who has been commits
stoned by his church to go to the United
States and endeavor To help solve the
California land question. His chief ac-
tivity will be in making an appeal to
Americans as Christians. He expects to
sail for America December 81, on the
steamer Chiyo Maru.
Mr.. TSunashima reasons that true
righteousness and civilization will in due
course of time be appreciated. He thinks
that the question of Japanese land own
ership in California is too big a problem
TO be settled in short time and that II
does not admit of temporary solution
He will try to solve Ii on the broad basis
IF universal love and Christian brother
hood.
In fulfilling his mission Mr.. Tsunashima
expects to visit churches, pastors asso
Citations and other Christian organiza
tlons. and TO write and preach his
thoughts and ideals az opportunity of
fers. He says there may be faults and
shortcomings on the part of the Jap
anese, but by his proposed undertaking
he believes he can persuade his country.

TOXIC. December i, 1913.
The constant discussion in Japanese
newspapers and magazines of the ques-
tons of woman's rights and woman suf
frage serves as striking example of the
rapidity with which western thought and
western ideas are being assimilated in
Japan.
Today the supporters of the woman's
rights movement are gleeful over the fact
that two woman milionaires of Toxic
have won the right to vote at municipal
and ward elections The municipal regu-
lations grant the right of suffrage to any
subject of the Japanese empire paying a
larger amount of direct city taxes than
that paid by any of the three highest tax
paying male subjects over twenty five
years of age The woman suffrage advo-
Gates commended that this clause per
mits women 10 vote if their property
qualifications were sul4cient. and the
home office upheld the contention.
An important monthly magazine has
placed a set of ques lions before noted
Japanese women on the future of the sea
in Japan. propounding such queries as
what can be done to improve the condi-
ton Of the Japanese women: requesting
opinions as TO the suffrage movement in
Ca Independence. and in a general way

' that Japan is not yet ripe for the

sroTs keener. the number of spin

women foster such national virtues as
ohasury, faithfulness. industry, thrift pa

NO two opinions are expressed, however
on the ACCESSIBILITY or justice of greater
liberty tor womankind in general. The
time has arrived, all writers agree, for
concerted action in behalf OF a digni-
fed and womanly liberty.
Some women are outspoken and others
are reserved. One writes: Small. help
less things are the Japanese women OF
today. Before talking of giving them tho
suffrage. they should be given the right

Another says: Let US not forget that
the duty OF woman is to help her hus-

dren. The independence of woman in the
nobiest sense of the phrase is to be de-
sired. but at the same time the inherent
spirit of self-sacrifice in woman should
not be destroyed
