AMERICAN CHARACTER
PRAISED BY JAPANESE
GOOD POINTS ARE TOLD BY THE
LEADERS OF ISLAND
EMPIRE

TOXIC, May 31.-Japanese ap-
probation of good points of Ameri-
cans finds expression in a collection
of personal comments published by
the Jitsugyo, a commercial periodi-
cal. The following are representa-
tive extracts.
DR.. X. Miyake: Japan has much
to learn from America. The unanim-
ity with which America entered the
war, and the patriotism which her
sons demonstrated on the firing
front and behind it is worth study
ing. The next thing which Japan
has to study about the American is
his epterprising spirit in social af-
fairs"
DR.. T. Nakajima: 1.-THE Japanese
are exclusive, cunning and intrigu-
ing. Long years of feudalism are to
be blamed for this. In contrast with
us the Americans are downright by
nature. That they have a wonder
full power of a~ssimilating those who
come near them may be traced to
this American openness of heart"
T. Shidachi, formerly president of
the Industrial Bank: There are
many commendable traits in the
American, but his spirit of social
service is to me the most remark
able. He is a firm believer in Chris
~tianity but he does not believe in
that religion merely for peace of
mind but in order to contribute to-
ward making society better and the
world move livable by influencing
the thought of others. Firm in his
religious belief, he is daring to a
sublime degree, and never despairs.
He is optimistic. and defies all OBJ
stacles with a CHEEKY face"

UNCLE SAM SCHOOLMASTER
FOR 100000 IN FRANCE

These post schools may be termed
the primary schools. of the army
educational system, though this Is
inexact. as in many of these schools
more advanced education is being
given to officers and men who are
unable to leave their posts and at
tend the divisional schools or the
university. The men attend these
post schools after their regular days
work.
Then every division has a high
school centrally located with better
accommodations. Some 10000 men
are attending such high schools.
Then comes the big army university
at Beaune which will accommodate
many thousands of students. Be-
sides there are about 5000 officers
and men attending French universe
ties who have Hospitality thrown
open their doors to their American
friends and 1000 more are in Eng
lish universities. These universities
students are all men who have had
at least the equivalent Of two years
in college.
Obviously few men can be de-
tached from their own units to at
tend these universities but the post
school does not interfere with mill
tary work, but is available to every
soldier and thus has an important
place in the educational system.
The breadth of the work in the
post schools being done is astound-
ing. Men who cannot read or write
are to be found studying in the
same room with college graduates
who are working for advanced de-
grees. There is a chance for every
body. The list Of subjects taught
would fill a book but here are a
few to illustrate. Algebra, calculus,
geometry, t~rigonometry, economics,
literature, French, German, Italian,
Spanish, agriculture, automobile re-
pairing, baking, barbering, book
keeping, arithmetic, business Eng
lish, business forms, carpentry, cob
bling, commercial law, cooking,
horseshoeing, surveying, mechanical
drawing, road construction, sales
manship, stenography. typewriting.
tailiring. telegraphy and telephone
repair.
For illiterates schooling Is COM
pulsory, for the great bulk of the
army it is elective.

ARTISTS
ORGANIZE Soviet

ira artists, the members being
chosen by vote.
There yer no intrigues, every
body having only the good of the
theater at heart. and the opera
flourished both artistically and fl
nancially until hunger sappsd our
strength and beat us in the uneven
fight.
1--WE went through one bad crisis
when the mob swarmed round the
theater and was preparing to burn it
down. We all went out en- masse to
the front of the building, and each
one of US harangued that part of the
crowd that he fell among, and SO we
managed to turn them from their
purpose and. saved our theater."

PARIS, May 30.-Uncle Sam Is
now a fully certified schooamaster
with about 100000 khaki-clad pu-
pills. This is the result OF the es-
adjustment of the Educational
Corps of the United States army to
provide training for vocations and
academic instruction for young men
in the army.
The Educational Corps is under
the direction of Brigadier General
Robert I. Rees, who militarized the
American colleges last fall. I'm
der him is an executive commission
of three educators, DR.. Frank E.
Spaulding, superintendent of schools
in Cleveland; DR.. John Erskine, pro-
lessor of English at Columbia; and
DR.. Kenyon Y. B~utterfield, president
of the Massachusetts Agricultural
college. In all about 1900 instruct
ors, including a number of men OF
high standing in American educa-
ton, are teaching the American SOL
diers the way to progress. Every
thing from A, B. C. to university
subjects and from stenography to
engineering is included within the
curriculum of this great and unique
college.
The army schools were in full
operation by January, equipped with
$500 worth of books especially or
dered from America and provided in
part by the American Library asso-
citation. But there has been a short
age of books and often one book has
had to serve for a whole class.
Many hundreds of army schools
have been established throughout
France wherever there are enough
American soldiers to warrant. Gen.
eral Pershing's order required a
post school in every place where
$500 or more men were stationed
and as the schools had to be opened
at once all sorts of queer places,
from cafes to monasteries, were
used as school rooms, until regular
quarters could be provided. The
soldiers are studying in barns, stable
lofts, a~erodromes, army barracks
; and in one Ease in a convent. Mean
time the army is endeavoring to
I provide adequate quarters and suf-
ficient books for it's 100000 stu
F, dents. In cities like Coblenz, the
city school buildings are used with
out interfering with the regular
school life of the children.
