Hard for Japanese to
Master Own Language

The hardest job of the Japanese
student is to learn his own language.
Added to its own difficulties are the
difficulties of Chinese; for modern
Japanese contains sprinkling of
more than $4,000 Chinese characters.
The primary student tolls over his
own language seven hours week in
class, seven hours week at home, a
total of fourteen hours a week for six
years. At the end of that time he
has mastered only about 5000 of the
Chinese ideographs leach having five
or six different meanings). He can
read newspaper. But he is still
baffled by magazine or book, I'M
less written in the most colloQuial
speech.
Even university students have a
very uncertain knowledge of the lit
erary language. 1t is supposed to be
used In the composition of letters, ar
ticles, books. A young friend of
mine in Toxic Imperial university,
principal institution of learning in
Japan, confesses that his uncle rare
" hears from him-because any let
ter to him must be written in the old
literary form, and it's composition is
long and fatiguing task.
Even the greatest scholars cannot
write without a good dictionary at
hand. Educated men find 1t easier
to read Japanse classics in an Eng
fish translation than in the original
