AN EMPRESS ON EDUCATION.
Not oontenb with sending her tons to Eurpe in order that their education may be conducted in a manner which will transplant our best institutions to that far country, Japan has turned her attention to the training of her women and the elevation of their social status. Accounts are to hand, by the last mail of the opening of a Peeresses' School by the Empress, who addressed to the assembled pupils and teachers a few remarks which clearly proved that the true secrets of " woman's mission " is understood and appreciated in Court circles in Yeddo. "I think" said the Empress. "That upon women, whose destiny it is to become the mothers of men, devolves the natural obligation of guiding, assisting, and giving culture to their offspring." Such a doctrine as this, inculcated into the minds of the rising generation of Japanese woman, should go far to assist the efforts of the other sex, and to improve the tone of both.
