BLAME TEACHER FOR STRIKE
Japanese instructors Forced to Give
Up Positions When Trouble
Occurs in Institutions.


School strikes seem peculiar to
Japan. Such a strike is calamity
dreaded by headmaster and assist
ant master alike. A head master
who has had strike in his school
is under suspicion, even though he
may be quite innocent of any unjust
conduct, and eventually he must
seek new field for his activities,
so unpleasant do the students make
his continued stay. When students
combine against one of the assistant
masters he has nothing to do but
tender his resignation. If the strike
is temporarily Gained down it is
tacitly understood that the master
In question is on the lookout for q
new place. Sometimes strikes take
place for the retention of the teach
er rather than for his dismissal. In
this latter case it is always the head
master who suffers most, as the
move is directed against him for
not retaining some favorite.

that no one could enter or leave

the provision made permanent.

STREET NAMES IN AMERICA.

The practice of giving numbers
and letters instead of names to the
street and avenues of American cit

no thought, except of convenience.
But it is practice often remarked

the United States and as evidence
of the matter-of-fact, unimaginative
