MORE LIBERTIES
FOR JAP WOMEN
Latest Law Permitted Them
to Attend Political
Meetings
EDUCATION is
NOW IN DEMAND
BY HENRY w. KINNEY.

Omitted Press stan CorrespondentD
TOXIC (By Maid. - with the
gradual adoption I'm Japan OF west
ern ideas Japanese women are grad
ually coming 10 take greater part in
affairs The passage by the House OF
Representative last week Of a bill
allowing them TO attend political
meetings is a significant indication.
In accordance with the general
spirit Of the Orient. which insists
that woman must not be allowed TO
exercise any function outside Of the
restricted sphere OF the home. Jap
anese law has heretofore forbidden
even the presence of women at po-
litcal gatherings. Now. they are 20
be allowed the doubtful pleasure Of
listening TO the political spellbinders.
and while this may not seem much.
it is a first step toward greater
privileges.
The committee OF the Diet which
reported favoring the bill said that
the education OF women In this
country has now reached a stage
which completely justihes the recog-
milton OF such a privilege" At the
same time. however. IL reported
against allowing the women organ
izing political associations. and also
| frowned upon allowing the vote 10
| students. schoolmasters and priests.
The authorities called attention TO
| the fact that there is evidence Of a
/ growing desire for higher education
on the part OF women. No less than
400 applications were recently re-
celved from girls for admission 20
two higher schools in Toxic. which
is far I'm excess Of the number usu-
ally received.
The Yomiuri. n Toxic daily, says:
1T is necessary 10 give the vote 20
women because the members OF the
Diet were elected by men alone. do
not try 10 enact legislations favor
able TO women. Most men maltreat
woman. for them TO become emanci-
pated. Further. Il IS said that II
women are, and so long as they are.
denied the vote. just so long will Il
be impossible enfranchised. Il will
have the effect Of elevating them 20
the moral level OF men. This alone
will be OF great benefit to the ma
tion. In olden times, women were
regarded as slaves. There can be nc
more discrimination between them
in point Of rights than there is be-
tween different races"
A curious evidence OF the tenden-
cy on the part OF the women 10 take
| part in affairs is the formation, in
Yamanishi Prefecture, OF a fire bri-
gade with forty female members
who claim that they will prove bet
ter firehghters than the men.
