FROM PAR JAPAN.
From a recent issue of the Japan
Advertiser we • learn of the opening
of a new school building at Kobe,
Japan, by the Canadian'. Academy of
Education. This is a school' origin-
ally opened in 1013 with sixteen pu-
pils, the children of the Canadian
Methodist mission, but has grow'n
until it now comprises over one hun-
dred and thirty . pupils and has a
staff of , ten teachers and is doing
complete public and high school work..
About half the pupils are children of
missionaries and d half o business
s
people.' Fifty are resident students
from other parts of Japan. The
chief reason why Clinton people
should be interested in this parties -
lar school is that just recently a
Clinton girl sloMed the stair, in the
person ;.of Miss r Jessie. O'Neil. In
describing .the staff, the Japan paper;
which, by the way, might be publish-
ed in London, or Toronto as fax as
appearance goes,' says: `.`The Rev. C.
R. Tench is new principal of the
school and' he is'ably assisted by <a
staff consisting of Miss 'O'Neill, Miss
Gregory, Miss Terrence and Mrs.
Tench in the high school and Miss
Knight, Miss Hurd and Miss Ruther-
ford in the grades., Miss Jessie
