ed area-United Press. were established in cities, where. the people were more progressive, many of the villages were for some years practically left to kuelpangs. In 1911 Korea had 235 common or primary schools established by the Japanese government along modern lines. By 1920 the number increased to 561, in which 1896 Korean and 876. Japanese teachers taught 108,266 Korean children.

In the last few years a remark- able change has come over the sen- timent and attitude of the Koreans towards the new school system. They have come to recognise the superiority of modern education, and are willing, often

eager, to leave the kuelpang to enter the new school established by the Japanese Administration. This is! indeed a happy sign of progress. It is also indicative of the spirit of trust in which the Koreans are beginning to face the Japanese Ad- ministration. Their thirst for edu- cation and better schools has been such that they are not only ready to discard the kuelpang, but they are increasingly dissatisfied with the schools maintained by various foreign missions. Where ten or even five years ago the Korean atudents showed decided preference for mission schools and were Inclined to avold government schools, they are to-day clamour- ing for the latter to the embarrass- ment of the former. In the last two or three years there have been "atrikes" in the missionary schools throughout the country.
