In the department of medicine a course of instruction is provided in medicine and in ph.armacy, aud a special course is also provided. The object of the course in medi- cine is to train students for the degree of Igakushi, and the length of the course of study is 5 years; but the object of the special course in medicine is to train students as practical physicians, and the length of the course of study is 4 years. The length of the course of study in pharmacy is 3 years. In the department of literature a course of instruction is provided in philosophy, political economy, political science, aud Japanese and Chinese literature. 483 12 CIRCULARS OF INFORMATION FOR 1885. The leugtli ol' Ibc course of study is 4 ye:ir.s in each dciiai tmeiit, except iu that of iiiediciiie. Attached to the dej)artmeut of literature there is Koten Koshiu Ka, rvli'ich is divided into two courses, viz, the Japanese classic course, and the Chinese classic course. In the Japanese classic course students are taught ancient .Japanese laws, ancient and mod- ern history, historical changes of institutions, changes of lang\iago, &,c. : .an I in the Chinese classic course they are taught ancient Chinese law, Chinese classics, history, doctrines of several scholars, Chinese literature, &c. The length of the course of study is 3 years in the Japanese classic course and 4 years in the Chinese classic course. Attached to the university there is Yohiinon (preparatory department) of the Tokio iJaigaku, which consists of 2 schools, viz, the principal school, whic h is situated within the deicartnicuts of law, science, and literature, and the branch school, which is situ- ated within the departiuent of medicine. The principal school is intended to prepare students on such subjects as are necessary for entering one of the three departments of law, science, and literature, and the branch school is intended to prejeare students on such subjects as are necessary for entering tlie department of medicine. The length of the course of study is 3 years in the principal school and 4 j’ears in the blanch school. In the department of science there are astronomical and meteorological observa- tories which are both situated at Motofujicho in llongo, Tokio, at 35° 4‘2' north lati- tude and 139° 4(1' longitude east of Greenwich. There are also botanical gardens and museums. In the botanical gardens, several thousands s])ecies of plants are grown and cultivated; in the museums, originals, sfiecimens, and models relating to phys- ics, chemistry, and natural history are arranged. In the department of medicine there are two hospitals to which sick iieople are ad- mitted, and in certain cases they are taken care of gratuitously. These are provided to enable the students to gain practical knowledge of their subject. Besides, there are the military academy, under the control of the war deyiartment, and the engineering college, under the control of the deyi.artment of juiblic works. The former is intended to train those persons who desire to become officers of infantry, cavalry, or artillery, or military engineers in such a way as to make them tit to dis- charge the duty of stalF officers in the future. The latter is intended to train engineers wdio will be employed by the de,y)artmeut of i)ublic works. A course of study is pro- vided in civil engineering, mechanical engineering, shi)) building, telegrai)hy, house building, i)ractical chemistry, mining, and metallurgy. The length of each course of study is six years, (•which the lirst twm years (calleil the preparatory course, in which students .are yirepared for entering one of the si)ecial courses) are coulined to instruc- tion in the English language, geograidiy, elementary mathematics, elementary me- chanics, elementary ydiysics, chemistry, and drawing (geometrical and mechanical), &c. ; .and the last two years are spent iu the yiractical application of the knowledge already accpiired. Normal schooln . — Normal schools, intended to train students as teachers of element- ary schools, are to be established in every fu and ken according to the general regu- lations of normal schools issued by the minister of education. According to the com- putation of the fifteenth year of Meiji (1882), thenuuiber of public normal schools is 7(5, with some branch schools annexed to them. The regulations as to the course of study are determined according to the standard ou'line of the course of study of normal schools issued by the minister of education. The course of instruction is divided into three grades, viz, lower, intermediate, and higher grades. The lower grade course comprises luoraks. reading, w'ritiug, arith- metic, geography, physics, science of education, school m inageiuent, practice of teach- ing, singing, and gymnastics. The intermediate grade course comiu’ises morals, read- ing, writing, arithmetic, geogra|ihy, history, drawing, jihysiology, natural history, physics, chemistry, geometry, liook-keeping, science of education, school management, practice of teaching, singing, and gymnastics. The higher grade course comprises morals, reading, writing, arithmetic, geography, history, (Irawing, physiology, natural histoi v, jdiysics, chemistry, geometry, algebra, political economy, book-keeping, Jaj)- anese law, mental philosophy, science of education, school management, practice of teaching, singing, and gymnastics. The length of the course of study is 1 year in the lower grade, 2|^ years iu the intermediate grade, and 4 years in the higher grade ; but, according to local conditions, the course of instruction may be niodilied, and agriculture, industry, commerce, &o., may be added. Again, in female normal schools, .Jaiianese law and political economy may be omitted, or some other subjects may be introduced, and sewing and domestic economy may be added. Thus the course of instruction comprises morals, reading, writing, arithmetic, geography, Japanese his- tory, drawing, natural history, physics, sewing, domestic economy, etiquette, science of teaching, siiiging, and gymnastics. In some fu and ken teachers’ institutes are organized for the purpose of improving the teachers of elementary schools and, iu others, supervising teachers are appointed 484 EDUCATION IN JAPAN. 13 to superintend the mode of instruction in elementary schools, »fcc. The regulations and mode of carrying out these plans must he submitted for the approval of the min- ister of education. Attached to each normal school there is ;ui elementary school, which is provided to enable the normal school students to gain practical experience in teaching, and which also serves as a model for elementary schools. In order to jirovide a model lor normal schools the department of education established two schools in Tokio, one of which is for the instruction of male stu- dents and is called the Tokio Normal School, and the other is for the instruction of female students, and is called the Tokio Female Normal School. The object of the TokiO Normal School is to train students as teachers of the whole course of elementary schools, middle schools, normal schools, Ac. ; therefore they are taught the elementary normal school course and the middle normal school course. The elementary normal school course comprises morals, reading, writing, arithme- tic, geography, history, drawing, physiology, natural history, physics, chemistry, geometry, algebra, political economy, book-keeping, agriculture, industry, commerce, Japanese law, inental jihilosojiby, science of education, school management, practice of teaching, singing, and gymnastics. The length of the course of study is 4 year.s. The middle normal school course is divided into two grades, viz, lower and higher- grades. The lower grade course comprises morals, Japanese and Chinese literature, English language, algebra, geometry, physical geography, physiology, zoology, bot- any, mineralogy, physics, chemistry, ])olitical economy, history, drawing, mental philosophy, science of education, practice of teaching, singing, and gymnastics. The length of the course of study is 4 years. The higher grade of the course is not yet in operation. ' Attached to this normal school there is an elementary school, which is provided for normal students to gain practical experience in teaching and which also serves as a model for elementary schools for boys. The cour.se of iu.struction and the length of the course of study do not differ very much from those stated in the standard out- line of the course of study of elementary schools issued by the minister of education. In the Tokio Female Normal School instruction is given in the elementary normal school course for girls w-ith the object of training students as teachers of the whole course of elementary schools for girls. The course of instruction comprises morals, reading, composition, writing, arithmetic, geography, Japanese history, drawing, natural history, physics, chemistry, science of education, practice of teaching, sewing, etiquette, domestic economy, singing, and gymnastics. The length of the course of study is 4 years. Attached to this school there is a higher female school, in which higher instruction is given in the common branches of study with the object of developing the various female virtues. The course of instruction is divided into the lower and higher- grades. The lower grade course comprises morals, reading, composition, writing, arithmetic, geograi^hy, Japanese history, natural history, physics, drawing, sewing, etiquette, singing, and gymua.stics. The higher grade course comprises, in addition to the continuation of the lower grade course in morals, reading, composition, writ- ing, drawing, sewing, etiquette, singing, and gymnastics, the following subjects, viz: chemistry and domestic economy. The length of the course of study is 3 years in the lower grade and 2 years in the higher grade. Attached to the Female Normal School there is also an elementary school for girls, which is provided to enable female normal students to gain practical experience in teaching and which also serves as a model for elementary schools for girls. The course of iustruction is divided into the lower and higher grades. The lower grade course comprises the elements of morals, reading, composition, writing, arithmetic, drawing, sewing; also, singing and gymua.stics. The higher grade course comprises, in addi- tion to the continuation of the lower grade course in the elements of morals, reading, composition, writing, arithmetic, drawing, sewing, singing, and gymnastics, the lol- lowing subjects, viz : the elements of geography, Japanese history, natural history, physics, and etiquette. The length of each course of study is 3 years. Again, there is a Kindergarten annexed to the Female Normal School, to which chil- dren of either sex under school age, but upwards of 3 years old, are admitted. In- struction is given with the object of cultivating their moral nature, developing their physical constitutions, and improving their intellectual faculties. The course of training comprises assembly, conversation (ui morals, conversation on various things, block laying, stick laying, ring laying, peas work, benaring them to engage in commerce and to imxirove its condition. It is also intended to serve as a model for commercial schools. But as it is not yet in operation the course of instruction will not be men- tioned here. The Gymnastic lu.stitutioii is organized for the xjurpose of training students in the art of gymnastics. Instruction is given according to the three following divisions, viz: (1) Teachers of normal schools of fu and ken and other schools who intend to become teachers of gymnastics are instructed in gymnastics (light exercise, out- door exercise, heavy exerci.se, rowing, manceuvres of infantry), physical education, and physiology; the length of the course of study is about 6 mouths. (2) The students and scholars of all the schools in TOkiO under the control of the depart- ment of educ.ation are instructed in the same kind of gymnastics as mentioned above. (3) Teachers of schools, &c., who learn gymnastics during their leisure hours are instructed only in light exercise, out-door exercise, and heavy exercise. There are also several schools organized by other departments. They are estab- lished for the purpose of giving instruction in various technical subjects and are under the control of their res^jective departments. Thus, the war dexiartment has a school of military officers, a normal school for the officers of infantry, and a normal school for subordinate military officers, in all of which instruction is given in military affairs concerning infantry, cavalry, artillery, and engineering, to train students as military officers. The marine department has a naval school, in which iu.strnctiou is given in artil- lery, navigation, and seamanship, and a school of marine engineers, in which students are instructed in the science of the steam engine. The department of agriculture and commerce has a school of forestry, in which students are taught the science of forestry, and a nautical school, in which instruc- tion is given in the art of navigation. In the dexiartment of xmblic works there is a telegraxih school, attached to the telegraxdiic bureau, in which students are taught electricity, telegraxfiiy, and the English and French languages. In the department of justice there is a law school, in which studcutsaire taught law. Jriricullnral schools . — Agricultural schools are organized according to the local conditions of fu and ken, in conformity with the general regulations of the agricult- ural schools issued by the minister of education. According to tbe comi)utatiou of the 15tb yetir of Meiji (1882), there are ten schools, including both xmblic and x>i'i- vate institutions, in all of which students are taught such subjects as are necessary for agriculture. The course of instruction and the length of the course are determined according to local conditions, and conseciuently are not uniform. There are also in- stitutions called agricultural institutes, &c., in which students are chiefly taught l>i'actical business and also a simxde course of study. 486 EDUCATION IN JAPAN. 15 Tliere are two schools established by the department of agriculture and commerce. One of them is called the Agricultural School of Konniba (so named because it is situ- ated at Komaba, gun of Ibara, Tokio-Eu), in which students are instructed in the science of agriculture, in veterinary science, and agricultural chemistry. The other is called the Agricultural School of Sappoio (so named because it is at Sapporo, under thekcu of the same name), in which students are taught the cultivation of laud and stock rearing. Commercial schools. — Commercial schools are organized according to the local con- ditions of fu and ken, in conformity with the general regulations of commercial schools issued by the minister of education. According to the computation of the 1.5th year of Meiji (ItiS^), there are four [lublic schools ami two private schools, in all of which .students are taught in such subjects as are necessary for commerce. The course of iustruction and the length of the course of study are determined according to local conditions, and are consequently not uniform. There are institutions called business schools, &c., in which students are taught chiefly the practical business of commerce and also a simple course of study. Industrial schools. — Industrial schools are also to be established according to the local conditions of fu and ken. Tliere is as yet no jiublic or pri vate school of this kind, and students therefore learn practical business at the industrial factories. There is one industrial school established by the deiiartment of education. It is called the TokiO Industrial School. Its object is to train students as teachers of in- dustrial schools or as foremen of laborers or directors of factories. The course of in- struction is divided into two classes, viz, chemical technology and mechanical tech- nology. The length of each course of study is three years. There is also a prepara- tory course, in which students are taught mathematics, phy.sics, chemistry, ilrawing, and morals, to prepare them for the higher course. The length of the course of study is one year. Higher female schools. — Higher female schools are organized according to the local conditions of fu and ken. The object of these schools is to give to girls who have completed the elementary school course such higher insti'uetion in the common branches of study as is suitable for them and thus to train them as women of virtue. According to the coinimtatioii of the tiftcenth year of Jileiji (1882), there are live such public schools. The course of instruction comprises morals, composition, writ- ing, arithmetic, geography, Japanese history, natural history, physics, chemistry, drawing, sewing, domestic economy, etiquette, music, and gymnastics, and at the same time the mode of Kindergarten training is taught. The iength of the course of study in these schools is not to exceed live years, but is not uniform. Miscellaneous schools . — A great number of miscellaneous schools are organized in dilferent localities. Thus there are Japanese schools (teaching history, law, litera- ture, and the pqetry of Japan), Chinese schools (teachiiig morals, iiolitics, hi.story’, literature, andreadingChine.se books), English schools (feacliing English language and reading English books), French schools (teaching French language and reading French books), German schools (teaching German language and reading German books), schools for the blind and dumb, schools of boidv-keeping, schools of handi- work for females, schools of arithmetic (teaching arithmetic only), schools of writing (teaching rules of writing, handling pens, &c.), ifcc., of which the Chinese schools are most numerous, the reading schools stand next, and then come schools of handi- work, writing, and arithmetic. According to the computation of the fifleenth year of Meiji (1882), the number of public schools is 88 and lliat of private schools is FIJI. The length of the course of study is different according to the organization of the schools. The ranks and salaries of the directors, teachers, Ac., of the several schools or- ganized by the various departments other than that of education are determined by the ministers of the respective departments and are therefore different one from another. The ranks and salaries of the directors and teachers of public schools are deter- mined, subject to the approval of the minister of education, by the governor of fu or ken. FUNDS, SCHOOL L.VNDS, AND AIDS TO ADVANCEMENT. Textbooks. — In all cases school textbooks are cho.seu with great care; but with respect to those books especially concerning general education the department of education takes the responsibility of examiniug them and ascertaining wliether they are tit for text books or not, and from time to time informs the governors of the result of the examination, which will assist them in choosing text books. Also, with respect lo those books-couceruing morals, the dep.artment of education indicates the general principles of compiling them and requires special attention in publishing them. The books examined from the thirteenth year to the sixteenth year of Meiji (1880 to 1883) are 634 copies or 1,668 volumes, of which 462 copies or 1,0-14 volumes are 487 16 CIKCULAliS OF INFOEMATION FOR 1885. those to 1)0 used in olomcntary Bcliools aud 222 copies or C14 volumes are those to he used ill middle and normal schools. Again, the department of education compiles and publishes text hooks to serve as moiiels tor authors. In order to improve the books used in the schools, it is in- tended to make regulations as to the examination ot such books and to examine them in n more precise manner. Lihrnrien and eduvalional museumn. — Libraries aud educational museums are also organized in different localities. There are It) libraries which are said to be in good organization. There are also several reading room.s wliich are provided within the schools, Ac., for the use of teachers and students. They are also opened to the public. The object of educational museums is to arrange in order objects concerning educa- tion and to provide them for the beiieiit of educators. There are 4 museum.s which are worthy of notice ; but all otliers are small rooms of schools, in which apparatus for chemistry aud jiliysics, specimens of natural history, &c., which are used in instruction, are provided. They are also shown to the public. Thero are two establishments organized by the department of education. They are the Tokio Library and tlie Tokio Educational Bluseum. In the Tokio Library, all books useful for study, without distinction as to whether they are Japanese, Chinese, European, or American, are collected and shown to the public. Those who write or translate or compile books necessary to education are al- lowed to take any book out of the library by special permi.ssion granted by the min- ister of education. Ill the Tokio Educational IMiiseum, objects necessary to general education are col- lected for the benelit of persons engaged in education aud they are also shown to the public. ‘The objects arranged therein are all instruments and apparatus used in schools, specimens, models of natural history, text books, reference books for edtica- fors, Ac. This establishment also provides specimens of animals, plants, and min- erals, aud models of educatio ial instruments, &c., and supplies them at cheap prices to schools in different places. It also encourages the makers of apparatus to con- struct several kinds of apparatus used in chemistry and physics, aud introduces them to schools in different localitie.s, which desire to buy them. The progress of education is insui’ed in this way. The regulations aud rules as to the course of instruction of every school above stated, Kiii'iergarteu, libraries, and educational museums which .are organized by the departments, are determined, resiiectively, by the ministers of those departments; but any thing which is very important is subject to the approval of the jiriine min- ister. The regulations aud rules of schools orgauizeil by fu and ken are determined by (he governors, subject to the aiiproval of the minister of education, and those of schools established by wards or villages are determined by the school committees, subject to the ap[)roval of the governors. Those of private schools established by one or several persons are determined by the persons or person who organized them, but are subject to the approval of the governors. Students sent ahnoad. — lilany hundreds of students have at different times h^^en sent abroad, some of them after having completed their course of study iu the schools estab- lished by the several departments or i)y fu and ken ; others were sent by the former feudal lords. Since the eighth year of ^leiji (187.3) 50 studeuts have been sentabroad by the department of education, of whom 24 have already returned, having tiuished their study, and 4 came back on account of illness, without completing their study. Some students received diplomas at the vni versifies abroad aud others received re- wards on account of successful examinations. The number of students abroad is at present 22, of whom 17 are iu Germany, 1 in Austria, 2 in England, 1 in France, aud 1 in America. All of them are graduates of Tokio Daigaku, who were specially selected by the minister of education to pursue their studies more thoroughly. Educational conventions. — In certain cases an lalucational convention is held for the ymrpose of imjuiring into and iuvesti gating educational matters. Thus the minister of education on certain occasions calls together the heads of educ.ational .sections (officers under the governor) of fu and ken and the dii'cctors of schools established by fu and ken, &o., and imjuires into the condition of education in their respective localities or i)oints out to them general priucii>les of education. The governors also hold iu some cases a conference of officers in charge of education, the directors aud teachers of schools, Ac., under their jurisdiction, who discuss questions concerning education. Sometimes a united conference of several fu and keii is held for the same purpose. Again iu different [)laces assemblies of officers of wards or villages, school committees, directors, aud teachers of schools, Ac., are frequently held to consider the business of education or to consult about school management, the mode of in- struction, Ac. Encourarjcnient of education . — For the encouragement of local education, the minister of education gives books and instruments to othcers engaged in education who have y)erformed syiecial services, to students or yuiyiils of botli public and private schools 488 EDUCATION IN JAPAN. 17 who have beeu specially deserving, aud to both public aud private schools, Kinder- garten, libraries, educational museums, »fec., which are considered to be of special benefit to the public. In difi'erent places rewards are given at the time of examina- tion to students who pass the examination successfully. Educational funds. — The funds of the schools, &c., established by the different de- partments are supplied from the national exchequer, aud consequently out of the appropriation money of the respective departments. The funds of schools, &c., estab- lished by fu and ken are supplied from the local taxes paid by the people of the re- spective fu aud ken. In some cases the money contributed and the fees of instruction are added to the local tax to make up the fund, or sometimes a part of it is supplied from the national exchequer. The funds of schools, &c., established by wards or villages are supplied from the public funds of wards or villages; also, sums of money contributed and the fees of instruction or money realized from school land are added to the fund. Private schools are maintained by the fees of instruction or by the private money of one or several persons. School lands. — The grounds occupied by institutions which are organized by the different departments are in every case government lauds. The grounds occupied by institutions established by fu or ken are in most cases also government lauds ; but, in a few cases, land jointly owned by the people is added to the government laud. The grounds occupied by institutions organized by the wards or villages are jointly owned by the people or are sometimes the property of private individuals. When wards or villages establish at the public expense any school, such as ele- mentary schools, middle schools, professional schools, agricultural schools, commer- cial schools, industrial schools, government land not in use, if there is any in such place, is granted on the request of the people of that locality without any payment, in the following proportion, viz, 500 tsubo (1 tsubo is about 36 square feet) for each elementary school and 1,000 tsubo for any other school. The land actually occupied by the schools is exempted from taxation. Again, the land possessed by all public agri- cultural schools and provided for practical or experimental use is exempted from tax- ation in the proportion of 5 cho (3,000 tsubo) per school, and when government land is required to provide farms for practical or experimental use, land not exceeding 5 cho is granted for such use without any payment of rent. ADDENDUM. Tokio Commercial School. — In the mouth of March of the 17th year of Meiji (1884) the public commercial institution, which belonged to the fu of Tokio, was transferred to the department of agriculture and commerce, under the name of the Tokio Com- mercial School. This school is designed to give instruction in such various branches of study as are deemed necessary for commerce. School for iht nobility. — In the month of April, the Gakushihin (Nobles’ School) was transferred to the imperial household department, and, although this school was orig- inally established by the kuazogu (nobles) and managed by them under the superin- tendence of the minister of education, the imperial decree has placed it under the direct control of the same department. This school is designed to instruct, chiefly, the children of the kuazoku (princes, marquises, counts, viscounts, and barons) in such branches of instruction as are most suitable for developing their intellectual faculties (in some cases the children of shizoku and heimiu may also be admitted into this school); and the school is divided into the male and female courses.

The intermediate grade is designed to instruct students not loss than 15 years of age. The literary branch includes (in addition to the continuation of the subjects of the lower grade) physics, chemistry, biology (zoology and Ijotany), and mineralogy, and 489 4768— No. 4 2 18 CIRCULARS OF INFORMATION FOR 1885. the military branch includes (in addition to the continuation of tho subjects of the lower grade) ride exercise, fencing, and riding, the length of the course extending over 3 years. The higher grade is designed to instruct students not less than Id years of age. The literary branch includes (in addition to reading, comxtosition, and mathematics) the general principles of history, political economy, law, politics, and philo.sophy ; the length of the course extends over 3 years, making 9 years for the completion of the three grades. The special course is establi.siied for such students as are not less than 20 years of age and possess attainments equivalent to those of the graduates of the middle school course of this school, to further their study in sueh higher subjects of this course as politics, law, ])olitical economy, philosophy, &c. Although the length of the course is not fixed, yet it shall neither be shorter than 3 nor longer than 10 years. The female course is as yet unsettled. Chani/es at the iiiiirersitji. — In the mouth of April of the same year the name of the “Principal and Branch Schools” of the Preparatory Department of the TokiS Uni- versity was abolished, alterations were made in the regulations as to the course of instruction, and tho length of the course was made to extend over 4 years; and stu- dents who desire to bo admitted to the departments of law, science, medicine, or lit- ei atnre are made to ])ursne tho same preparatory course of study. 1 n 1 lie month of ^lay of the same year a course of naval architecture was organized within tho department of science of the TOkio University. This is designed to pre- [lare .students as naval engineers, who shall be employed in naval architecture and in tiie construction of marine engines. Tho subjects of study to be pursued are mathe- matics, physics, dynamics, naval architecture (both theoretical and practical), kine- matics and mechanism, steam engines, strength of materials and structures, thermo- dynamics, hand and machine tools, marine engines, naval ordnance, drawing, work- ing drawing, metallurgy of iron, French (taught only for the present), practical exer- cises, and designs of hulls and engines. The length of the course extends over 4 years, and during the first year the students are taught according to the first year ju’ogram of the department of science. Hujher commercial school at Tokid. — In the month of June of the same year the course of instruction of tho higher commercial school, attached to the Tokio Foreign lianguage School, was framed.

Table I. — Showing ihe amount of educational expenses {among the city-district, ward, or village rates) decided by the assemblies for the fifteenth year of Meiji (1882). Note. — This table is a rough calculation of the educational expenses of the city-district, ward, or village rates for the 15th year of Meiji (1582), according to the reports from the various fu and ken. Only such city-districts, wards, and villages are mentioned in too table as pay educational expensps, but in the four ken of Chiba, Shimane, Kochi, and Kagoshima there are some city -districts, wards, and villages where the rates for educational expenses are not levied, such expenses being disbursed from the interest on funds, &c. ; while in some wards and villages of the two ken of Okayama and Sapporo, no educational expenses are required, owing to the fact that the population is too scattered to establish any school ; and also in the islands of Ogasawara, under the fu of Tokio, educational ex- penses are paid out of the Treasury, and rates are not, therefore, levied on the people of the city-dis- tricts, wards, and villages of the fu. From the two ken of Miyagi and Yamanashi no reports have been received ; and these ken are, consequently, here omitted. No report relating to the total amount of the city-district, ward, or village rates was received from the ken of Iwate. The seven isles of Idzu.and the three gun of Cshima, Gomu, and Komage, in the ken of Kagoshima, are here omilted, owing to the .absence of the necessary reports, and as to the gun of Mishima, in the ken of Tamaguchi, the educational expenses for the 14tli year of Meiji (1881) are here mentioned. The number of those wards and villages where as.semblies are not yet established, and the amount, of the educational expenses of such wards and villages, are placed together in this table. The population of each fu and ken is corrected to the 31st of January of the 151 h year of Meiji (1882). Name of fu or ken. Tokio K ioto Osaka Kau.agawa. Jliuga ...... Nagasaki. .
