MARKED DECREASE IN ́NUMDER OF- STUDENIS:
The predilection for schooling on the part of girls in Japan is apparently dwindliog. Ac. cording to a Tokyo journal, the number of candidates applying: for admissions girls schools in Tokyo this year has fallen off by almost 30'per cent. from the average number of applications. This stats of affairs is causing some of the proprietors of private schools for girls to become anxious as to the future. The president" of a glils' school in Tokyo polute out that the rise of the mania for schooling among girls may be traced back for a period of twenty years, and became very activa during the Japan-China war' io 1894-5. After the Russo-Japanese "war" the.

schools, both public and private, which together with institutions for training girls in various branches of feminine accomplishments, hava. multiplled year by year. Moreover, these schools and institutions have actually attracted more students than could be accommodated." Female education almost became a fashion, and can hardly be regarded as the result of an locreased desire or necessity for the education of girls. As anticipated, not a few girls mbo have been trained in the schools have became bad characters in their after-life, while others have been loclined to disturb the harmony of the home, so that the merits of female education bava now, been called into question. During the past two or three years this school menin bas much abated. This year, in particular, the change is very anticeable. The number of applicants for admission lato. the Tokyo Female Univ-rity, the Famala Higher Normal School, and all other higher female technical schools has shown a decrease of from 20 to 30 per cent. on the figures for last year. The same statement applies to other technical schools, which used to attract every your double the number of applicants for whom there were vacancies, butthis year the required number has scarcely been obtained. In some case the number of applicants has been too 's nail to form even one ciner.
A similar state of things prevails in the la- terior. The abatement of interest in female education may be partly due to the depression of trade, but the principal causa in probably
