Japanese and America.

There is a strong desire on the part of young Japanese to come to the United States to acquire or perfect themselves in the English language and complete their education. The welcome given to earlier students has led many who have entirely insufficient means to undertake the journey to come, indeed, with scarcely more than enough to. pay their passage to this country. Others, better provided for, have no idea of the increased cost of living here, while many hope to receive aid from persons who may become interested, in them here, or to find some employment while they are carrying on their studies. The practical results are not always fortunate, and many of the students referred to would be better off at home. The reputatian of having been educated in Europe or America has a certain value at present in Japan, however, and the Japanese students are, almost without a single exception, a credit to their native country.
