..:
1.-Growth of Factories: In 1887 there were shens 125 modern factories in Japan; today, there are fully 20,000. Thirty-three years ago theus factories emplyed some fifteen thousand hands; today, over a million men, women and children are working in modern mills and
Factories.
Furthermore, the complete helplessness of this army of workers, to better the conditions under which they work by either the balles or, by treating public opinion, makes a situation full of the most serious social and political dangers to the nation. More than 90 per cent. of these people can read and large s'ambers are informed of economie and social cozdi. tions of labour in other countries.
III.--Morality and Religion: Bad hoca
2-Growth of Cities: In 1850, Tokio's population was "857,790; 10-day it is 2.225,000 and if the closely adjacent suburbs ar included reaches over three million. In 1980, Cauka's population was 500,000:"to-day it is 1,500,000. In 1980,ring induces bad morala. 33 per cent. of Nagoya a population was 200,000; to-day it is 450,000.

3.-Growth of Industrial Suburbe: studying the growth of Tokio's industrial suburgs we find that in ten years the population of Ninpori Ercressed from 4,000 to 20,000—a growth of 500 per cent Sunjo increased from 11,700 to 24,000- a growth of 250 per cent.
