OF WCTC ON JAPANESE SCHOOL SYSTEM
N. Of Shuford, principal of the
Black Mountain public schools,
spoke at Western Carolina Teach
ers college Wednesday night. His
subject'was "The Japane.-e public
school system, and America's part
in it."
Mr. ?|iuford, who worked with
Japan's public schools as a mem
ber of the American Military Gov
ernment, made his address to mem
bers of the WCTC chapter of the
Future Teachers of America. Many
other students and faculty mem

a great deal. The people love to |
put on a show, and are great for
going into details in everything
they undertake."
He said that their primary
schools ? the first six grades ?
are compulsory, and that, from then
on, advancement is made on the
basis of competitive examinations,
with very little chance for girls,
who are considered mental and
physical inferiors of boys.
Mr. Shuford told of the difficul
ties of Japanese educators after
the American invasion and its
I consequent censorship of public
| education. Many of the old text
i books were discarded, and the
j teachers, whose initiative had long
since been drilled out of them, were
lost. The most entensive changes,
he said, were the dropping of mil
itaristic sports from the curriculum,
and the substitution of a different
code of morals to be taught.
He remarked that the Japanese
were very imitative, and were eag
rfer for Democracy as typified by
I the American occupying forces.
