"The Wee Ones of Japan" (Mrs. Bramhall), pp. 97-108; "When I was a Boy in Japan" (Shioya); "A Japanese Boy" (Shigemi); "Japanese Girls and Women" and "A Japanese Interior" (Miss Bacon), all give interesting accounts of school life in both Old and New Japan. The Department of Education issues annually in English, for free distribution on application, a "Report," which contains the latest statistics and other information. "The Educational Conquest of the Far East" (Lewis) is an excellent discussion of educational conditions and problems of the day in China and Japan. See also Scherer's "Young Japan," pp. 284-311. The (English) catalogue of the Imperial University, Tōkyō, is instructive. "Every Day Japan" (Lloyd) contains interesting material on this subject. "Japanese Education" (Kikuchi) is authoritative.
