TWO HOURS IN A PRIMARY SCHOOL.
I spent a couple of hours yesterday in a school! selected at random-I believe a typi- cal large school, what I saw through the coun try were very similar. It is the Sakamoto school (primary) in Tokio, and the principal who conducted me over the premises is Mr. T. Mohohasbe. I simply without any authority or notice whatever, rode to the gate in ricksbaw A porter was sweeping the entrance, I sent in my curd, and was invited into the principal's room by an attendant, who next minute brought in a pot of les (Japanese green, with out milk or sugar) In a festeninuter the prin
