Nobody will be inconvenienced by this position except people —of whom ' there are too many—who never look to see whether they are treading unnecessarily close to other people’s toes.

From the time the girls go to ele- mentary schools, they are trained in every branch of the acience and art of home-making an@ household duties. Studies of higher science and -learning of scholarly knowledge are regarded as secondary in the education of the Jap- nese girls, After they have been taught tn elementary arithmetic, liter- ature, geography, history and other courses of the primary school, their sole attention is directed towards sewing, cooking, music, etiquette and domestic wolence. Sewing and cooking are their main studies, and as much as ten hours a week is spent in school for the teach- tng of sewing and cutting, And after the school hours their mothers give sewing practice, By ten years old they all thetr glothes an their families, ‘The heme education with thei: cook meals for Japanese Girl Her Daily Life, Amusements, Work and Ambitions By Mock Joya Mook Joya te @ Japanese university man and writer who ts taking a| because we spa: prectios! course in American journaitem.
