The object of the visit is to . collect funds to establish a Christian f school near Toido' for the education of high-class girls and women. During her experience in the courts of Tokio she came to realise the condition of her countrywomen and the nee 1 for such an institution ba3ed upon Christian principles, and this alone has influenced her to throw up her practice and devote herself to missionary work.
