Japanese School Children Go on Out

Of Education.

In Japan. beyond all other lands. the
whole world goes outing. Wherever
the Traveller wanders he meets crowds
OF people on the highways. Frederick
Starr writes. These people fall into
three well marked classes Everywhere
one sees school children on excursion.
There may be half a dozen with one
teacher or there may be hundreds with
their teachers. They are out 20 view
the landscape. to see places famous in
the national history. to visit the scenes
OF Old legends, to examine in detail the
various processes of art industries. IL
Is considered as important part or
the school curriculum that the children
should see things. and become acduaint-
ed with nature. with national history
and with practical sources OF wealth
as IL is that they should know aritss-
metic, grammar or history. They are
out for an hour. day. a week. or
vacation period. When / first visited

boys with two teachers, who had al

cursion and had seen many interesting
things on their way to the exposition
