(Copyriznted.) From Tue Stan's Traveling Commissioner. ‘TOKYO, August 20, “It ts intended,” said an official address to the people of Japan issued In 1872 uy special order of Lis majesty, the emperor, “that heaceforth educa- tion shall be $0 @iffused that there may not be a village with an ignorant family, nor a family with am ignorant member.” And ‘this ideal has been faith(ully pursued ever since. Dut the steep has Dom @ hard one to climb, and the history of the department of education shows the constant counter-marcbing, Or rather tacking, by which the goal has been Drought nearer and nearer. Boards end departments, and offices were created and abolished: codes were formulated and repealed; individuals were appointed and dismissed; the Xery hate Of every function and the mah who filled it has changed half a dozen times. “This Was revised In the following year,” is a sentence eccurring OM almost every page of the official records. Elementary education has always been furly Glffused among the Japanese, and it 1s so Tare @ thing to find even in the lowest ciass a man or wouan Who cannot read and write, that 1 have Lo doubt the proportion of fliteracy'ls higher in Waku wert, Bitminguam than it isim Toky6. When western aspirations came, however, the old elementary education was no longer good enough Pacific, and their dificul- © ips to combine in one s¥stem tue board of schools Of Bagiand, the high schools ef America, the normal schools of France, and the vnlversity of “Aim high” ts always a healthy principle, and to-day the Japanese nay ely to aifect the nal pro- pbse to try and tell in Pais ieee THE JAPANESE EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM Shidits cwo out of the three great principles of national instruction; it 1s compulsory and secular. 2t 18 Hot gratuttuous It consists of five parts, Aindergartens, elementary schoois, middle schools, special school’s and university. ‘The Kindergarten 13 for children between the ages of three and six. ‘There are 130 Japan at Present, ebtefly in tue large towns, without count jug the kindergarten branches of the elementary Schools, but tis number Will soon be greatly in creased, orders having been issued to governors of cities ahd departinents to see that young euldrea attend the kindergarten and are not wd elementary iastruction at an immature a ‘The elementary nary and higier. thirty-two Weeks “yearly is compuisory upon ail children between six and ten, and morals, reading, Writing, composition, arithuietic and gymnastics, | With drawing and Singing im some cases, are ordi. | er for taught. The lawer is an optional course of four Years more in which instruction ts added in geo raphy, history, physics, the Englisa lancuase, Agricuicure and Commerce. ‘There is also a sup | again, are the characteristicof an ideal ariny | Victory ahd in defeat. ‘To aid in’ their development, which the Japanese attach, and rightly, the greatest importance at the present time, is the detached series of normal schools. Plenty of coupetent and well-trained teachers in elementary schools, that is What they need above ail things, Aud that tuey are in a fair way to secure soon. ‘There ts a hicher normal school in TOKy6, and aD ordinary normal school tn exch city and ment. The former educates teachers for the lat- ter, and the latter educates elementary school teachers. ‘The course is three years for the higher and tour years tor the ordinary school Candi- dates are selected with great care be- tween the ages of seventeen and twenty, all their expenses, personal as well as aca- demic, even in their weekly allowance of pocket- mone¥, being borne by the state or the public taxes, ‘and in return male tes of the nor Mal Schools are under obligation to serve in schools for ten years after graduation and for three Years in any school to which the department of education may appoint them, and female Sraduates are under sluuilar obligations for five Years and two years respectively. ‘The: higher normal ‘school and one female normal School at TOKIO, and sixty-three In other parts of Japan, of whict fourteen are for women; the total umber of pupils 1s 6,375 male and 835 female; and the wtai public expense of this brancl last census year was 612,085 yen, OF £94,167. Finally beside ali the foregoing, ‘there are no fewer than 103 special schools, witu 583 instructors and 8,913 puplis. Of these, 4 Delong to the gov. ernment, 49 are pubilc and 50. b private, and among them may be mentioned the Tokyo Foreign Lan- FLuase, School the Tokyo Law School, the TOKYO dustrial School, the High Commercial School, the Gymuastic Institution, aud the Institute Music. Of the old miscelianeous schools over all Japan, wiuich the departinent of education declines to classify, and most of which teach Jaj and Chinese liierature there are about 1,2 ‘THE SPIRIT OF RDUCATION. AS regards the spirit of Japanese education, that was summed up for me in three words by H. E. Count Mori, minister of education, “It is our aim,” he said, “to inculcate and develop three quaitties in our people—obedience, sympathy, and dignity,” and I have since found’ these words rv- curring Uke a shibboleth through all the publica- Uons of is department. “Obedience,” his excel- lency ‘because only through obedience come regularity and- serenity of life. Our people are Irregular at preseat, and the influence of uur Fobellion ten Fears ago has been widespread, for oue thing, in making them so. Tuere- fore obedience” ranks frst ‘among the quall- es they need. Sympathy we must inculcate, Decause tt 13 the crowning virtue of civil: wation, and the basis of the democracy we hope, like otuer nattons,to become. Our people have emerged too recently trom feudal- isin to possess sympatby in any great degree, and without sympathy the best man is but a savage, Finally, dignity 1s the handle of all the blades of character. " The Japanese are an impulsive people and now that they are about to meet the outside World on equal terms for the first time, the value of dignity cannot be overestimated. ‘These ture, invariable obedience, perfect sympathy of high with low, and low wit mgh, equal dignity in therefore, we have established military drill i our schools.” It will be seen from this the re- Sponsibility for the education of Japan rests in good bands.

Orv THE SKERKIES, IRELAND, Oct. 15, 1888. ‘Trudging over the Lisburn road into the spire and chimney dotted city of Belfast, some trifling im- Pulse of interest impelled me to a stroll upon Queen's bridge. Standing above its broad atches and peering down the river Lagan across the crowded shipping to where the noble Belfast Lough, or Carrickfergus Bay, beyond, shone blue and brilliant between rigging, masts, and lazily- flapping sails, I descried several little craft, no larger than ordinary fishing-smacks, My curl- osity lea me down along the wharves to these. I found among them some tiny” coasters trom far Donegal, away over on the western Irish shore, and within a half an hour Thad made the acquaint- ance of the two-man crew of one, struck a bargain With them for a trip to thelr home port, and was Sailing out to the Irish sea, as dusty and grimy a Pilgrim as ever, in the twinkling of an eye, ex- changed adventure by land for a sailor's luck at S20, And so “as we gail an’ we gail,” for these Irish coasters are as slow as a well-proven pension claim at Washington, I will endeavor to picture What can be seen by the eye and mind in a cruise around the most dread and drear of all Erin’s 1ron- Dound coasts, the wild, weird North. UNSAVORY CARRICKFERGUS. To the right and to the left as we descend Beltast Lough, are winsome scenes and bold. Countless Glens, Villas, castles, luxurant farms, ruins, and Picturesque headlands crowd the lovely shores. Contemplating these strikingly beautiful scenes of opulence in nature and artifice alone, one could scarcely recall, or imagine, the slavery ad poverty of Ireland. But wraiths’ of the last century’ Slaves of Belfast's looms peer from behind this imagical brightness; while its hideous antithesis Seay Be aeaniat ne lefly. But over there Siew miles froin the ‘neveraiient, spindies and looms, 18 ancient, unsavory Carrickfergus with its _mignty castle, its thousand of so Scotch fisher-folk, and its altogether ugly memories, A qucer Old hive is | this; and we are long enough in passing it to note sume of its od features, Had it the same great mass of rock behind it one Would involuntarliy imagine a duntnutive Quebec had been set down here at the Water's edge. Though lacking thatit is sill a cracked and crumbling prototype of Quebec’s choked and crowded Lower Town, ‘The old, old central, once-Walled city, for It ts 30 Old that tts origin 1s well nigh lost ti tradition, is a suffo- cating imass of ‘angles, arches, decaying walls, grim legends, and fith. But ‘In a sense it 18 Dlessed. "It is neutral ground. ‘The Scotch quar- ter sets over against the eastern Walls, ‘The Irish quarter strazyies along shore to the west. ‘They are thus apart, But the ferocious denizens of ‘hese two odorous quarters, craning thelr savage necks over tue seat Of the law, sound pibrochs Of defance or surtek Gaelic invitation to War. A PICTURE OF MELANCHOLY AND GRANDEUR, After all, the antiquity, associations, memories and bistory of Carrickfergus are so revoitingly written in inhumanity and blood, that even one of nobiest digestion can scarcely reach enthusiasm over its really picturesque old castle, for which it is most famous Its very remote origin 1s clearly traceable to Joun dé Courcey; and it ts Said to be the only exisung edifice in ‘the king- dom exhibiting @ specimen of the old Norman luilitary stronghold. Perched upon a uarrow, rocky penlusula, and washed on three sides by tue vay, Whetuer approached from the sea, seen from tile heights o: Antrim, observed frou the opulent felds of Down, of looked upon fromm the bosom of the calm’ and shining Lough, 1t certainly grows upon the tuought and sense aS a picture of unusual, one might almost say inelan- eholy, maguificence and grandeur. To-day in- stead of being the proud abode of Irish kings; in- stead of owning secret league with the Scottish lord of the isles, aud preserving the witching bar- dic Miustrelsies Of the Hebrides; Instead of ring- ing With the shouts and pipes of glant-framea Scottish auxiliaries; Instead of houstig t followers of the MeCarthy and the O'Nell, stubborn soldiery of William, or the light-hearted adventurers of Turot; tue great hall of Its mas sive keep 18 a barrack for red-couts and rats, One gets dry-rot from even a suiff of, and a ivok at, the jnedie¥al iatterdetnalion, aud Lurns his face t6 the seaward hignlands with “ineffable longiug and re- uel ISLAND MAGEE. Rounding White Head and Biack Head, on the north shore, which have thelr corresponding twin headiands opposite on the lovely shores of Down, we lett Belfast Lough, the Vindertus of Ptolemy, and were soon tu the’ Irish sea, hugging Island Magee, which, scarcely separated froin tue tnain- land at the southwest, for a breadth of two miles and a leugth of nine, Sweeps gracefully around in @new-moon form tothe north, and behind which smiles the blue waters of the Lough Larne, where many odd fisier-folk live and take the year round, as did their fathers for centuries before them, the plaice, Or Hlat-tish, and the mullet. One longs to Wander in Island Magee. It 1s ‘magical with natural beauty; ts inhabitants would furnish marvelous studies ior the artist aud novelist; 1t is the legendary abode of the wildest fantastes of sorcery; on it3 extremities are uumberless raths and ‘cromiechs; While the entire coast-line a3 rife with hatural wonders, historic fas- cinations, and marvels of legead’ aud tradition, Midway between its northern and southern pro- montories are the griin old Gobbins, basaitic ciitts nising upward Of 200 feet perpendicuiarly out of the sea, stern and inural tn character, and with numberless caves at high-water mark, the resort of olden Hebridean pirates, but now “put to the milder use of fshermea’s Loat-houses; for along Unis entire shore are noted tisherles of herrings, Dlockens and turbot. As we sailed past the grew- ‘sume spot, my coaster’s skipper pointed out my- riads of slender and graceful nawks nestling in, and wheeling about, the lofty crags. These are the “Gobbin-nawks” of lowly foik-lore Of w-day. But long ago they were the Irish goss-hawks, fa. MoUs In history and song as objects of chase With ‘aucient nobles of the kingdom, PICTURESQUE SCENES. We sailed between the Maidens, or the five Hulin Rocks, the largest two, with thelr lorty striped lighthouses, like some giant’s Balmoral hose hung from invisible lines in the clouds to dry, and the mainland, catching charming glimpses Of Larne eily a Ule sea-mouth of Larne Lough, and then stood away to the northwest for Benmore or Falr Head, the inost northeastern point iu Ireland. ‘To Glendru River and Bay was a noble sight ali the Way. The far Outlines of Scotiand are here and tere traced through the misty horizon haze, while suoreward all the Witchery of the coasts of Wild Wales cannot excel the fascinating scenes, which often partake of positive grandeur. Extraordinary variety of picture adds greatly to the wondrous charm. ‘The entire coast formation 1s seemingly broken into parallel ridges, which, descending from cloud-cleaving mountain helghis, reach the sea in successions of majestic cliffs, oF dreamrul Valleys, whose very edges are laved by gentle swells of the ‘sea, while at either side the thunders of ocean battles among the cavernous cliffsare deaten- ing and Irighttul beyond description. In all these Valleys nestle most diminutive and picturesque hauilets. Far up their green sides is ‘set a white chapel or manor-house, Perched 1n the mountain peaks bebind, or on crags half a thousand feet above the sea, and whose tops seem to pierce the very clouds, hang castles old and new as time is measured Lere, and gray ruins, all lke hali-bid nests of the lnagplesy and sea-fowl that ‘wheel, caw, and shriek around them. And then as we pais sWeet Glenarm Lown, nesuling behind the bay, the radiant Village at One end of the great arcled bridge, and at the other te grovesque though imposing castle, what loving image the fancy pants within’ those lofty hill-screened glens, far in Lae murmurous coverts—Glenarm, Glencorp, Glenarifl Glen-Ballyemen, Gienanne, and Glehduin; where, in the shadows, those ten” derest of all forgivably superstitious creations, the 00d Irish fairies, fit aud dance and hold high carnival, and never Spear happy orgies, FROM GLENARM TO FAIR HEAD the tide-sweeps are most powerful, and our ttle craft was of necessity kept farther at sea, But that grandest of all Irish east coast giants, mag- nificent Gerron Point, was near enough to be seen im all its stately grandeur. Rising to a mighty height almost straight out of the waves, tiree lomty and symmetric pinnacles, united by wall-like Fanges of basalt, crown 1t above the nearly per- pendicular escarpments, like tremendous and per- lect-wrought ramparts.
