JAP SCHOOL SYSTEM.

GREAT ADVANCEMENT MADE IN THAT COUNTRY. Lately Japan Is Fast Coming to the Front Along Educational LinesProminent Fart Athletics Took Under the Old Dispensation. Many Reforms Are Proposed. Until recent years th? school system of Japan was at best a haphazard one. Education was not compulsory, and even when taught was kept within rigid lines and not at all adapted to the needs of everyday life. To the higher nobles, for Instance, the rules of arithmetic were a dead letter, and even among the Samurai It was considered Infra dig. to understand the working of the alacus (soroban) or counting machine a most simple yet excellent Ilabbidge In embryo. In the Nobles' school at the present day the same dislike for numfiOVr.KXMF.XT I'KIMAKY SCHOOI.HOr. hers In apparent, though in a much less degree; while the young scholars are otherwise very quick in acquiring languages and fond of abstruse argument. Similarly geography, in the sense in which we understand it, was practically unknown, nlrhough the topograph1 of the empire was most carefully taught. Nor was there any proper instruction In the mother tongue; no available diclionnriesj absolutely no grammar. The place of these indispensable lwioks was taken by the Chinese classics, a knowledge of which was thought necessary to every student. Female education was wholly ignored. It was considered qidte sufficient If a woman, even of high rank, could write with the simple kana. or syllabic alphabet. Poetry was taught, but after a very baiting fashion. On the other hand. i mem ; ! mm v T - MIDIH.K SCHOOL STi nKXT SOSHI. the greatest possible weight was laid ou athletio exercises and the development of the physique. Fencing was taught to mere youngsters of (I or 7 and until they reaehed the age of manhood. Archer, the use of the spear nnd halberd, enjstriauism, Jujustu. and a score of similar exercises helped 4o strengthen the muscles and harden the frame. The Japanese of thirty years ngo were physically a far liner race than the present generation. The present Minister of Education, Marquis Saionji, the youngest Cabinet member, has pronounced views of his own, which ho is desirous of seeing adopted before the next turn of the wheel will see him landed in the Privy Council or in possession of some other less eongenial iortfolio. Last year, for instance, a very great change was inaugurated. Higher middle schools were given the rank and style of high schools, wherein the student onot roF iiir.iiKK itionr.K sc iiooi.itOTs. may, If he so desires, acquire fully sufficient knowledge for all purposes of practical life, or may graduate

as an agricultural exper, an engineer, a manufacturer, sericulturist In a word, as a well trained professor of a number of sciences peculiarly adapted to the every day needs of the people. This was a great step in the right direction, the success of which was mainly attributable to the Indefatigable labors of Mr. TstiJI, ex-Vice Minister of Education, and President of the Educational Society of Japan. The modern school years of Japanese, as will be seen from the following, are far too long. Tlie university Is a goal which can be reached by few. The schools are divided thus: Primary school Course of four years. Higher primary school Course of four years. Middle school Course of five years. Higher middle school Course of three years. University Course of four to five years. It will thus be seen that, according to the system now In vogue, a student must study twenty to twenty-live years lefore he can hope to obtain the diploma of the Imperial University.

Vertical Pcnmnnxlilp. To the casual observer there appears to be little importance in the movement to substitute vertical for slant writing. P.ut to the Poard of Supervisors for the Boston public schools It presents Itself as a matter of mighty import. In a recent report this board exhaustively discusses the subjects of penmanship in the public schools. They say that the question of vertical versus slant writing has been under investigation and discussed for about ihr: decades; that it has been from the first not a question of taste, b'f of hygiene; that it grew out of inquiries into the causes of phycal defects among school children In various European countries. To report goes on to state. In effect, tht vertical handw riting was decided to he a remedy for some of the defects; hat it has the Indorsement of various international hygienic congresses, and that it is rapidly supplanting slant writing all over Europe. The physical defects referred to are said to have been aggravated by Ill-adapted desks and the unnatural and wearying positions which the children were required to assume. The supervisors were opposed to the use of slates In the primary grades of the public schools. It is not only a hygienic, but an art Improvement, according to the Poston board, to do away with slant writing. They lind that the vertical writing of experts and of school children of all ages Is more legible than the slant, and this fact commends It to business men as well as to printers. The report says: "It is a generally admitted fact that whenever excellence in slant writing has been obtained, it has been at a sacrifice of comfort on the part of the pupils, and of time and strength on the part of the teachers. The weight of evidence seems to show that good vertical writing can be obtained at much less cost. In the primary sehools the children seem inclined to write a round, upright hand, and ate with dillic-ully forced into the angular, slanting style. To develop and perfect the natural hand has been found in practice to be easier than to change it; so much easier that competent judges have expressed the opinion that with vertical writing there need be no special instructor in penmanship after the fifth or sixth year in school." Many improvements In methods of public instruction have originated In Poston, and this movement may be another step in the same direction. The board lias undoubtedly made an honest and thorough investigation of the question of penmanship, and its findings will attract the attention of educators throughout the country. Washington Post.

A Plan for Supplementary Kcudin&r. Collect a number of pictures, mount separately on pasteboard, nnd place n suitable title below. These may be obtained from some business and Christmas cards, children' magazines, and old school readers. The following are examples of titles: "Feeding the Chickens," -Skating," -Christmas Morning." "Mrs. Puss and Her Family," -The Dog and the Shadow." -Fishing," "The Crow ami the Pitcher," etc. On other blank cards write a story about each picture, giving it the same title. When the hour for renting nrrives give to each child cither a picture or a storj. Ask each of those receiving a picture to study It carefully, and then write a story about it; those who receive a. story read and either reproduce it in their own words or give it as written. A certain pupil Is asked what picture she has. She replies that sin? has Feeding the Chickens." The teacher then inquires who has the story about this. The child who has It stand nnd leads a short story of a little girl who went to visit her grandmother in t!o country. She had never been on a farm before, and took great pleasure In hunting eggs and feeding the young chickens. The pupil who has the picture Is then asked to re.nl what he has written. He reads as follows: "The little girl in the picture Is feeding the hens nnd chickens. She lias Just begun, for there ate three hens running over from the other side of the yard. She has filled a disli with water for them to drink. The little girl' is living on a farm, and she looks very nice nnd seems happy." i.t first glance there may appear to be a great amount of preparation necessary to the carrying out of this exercise; but such Is not the case. The children will bring the pictures, nnd some of the older pupils may on a Friday afternoon do the mounting, and there remains nothing more than the writing of the stories, which will not occupy a great deal of time.
