Metheny lauds Nip schools

An entirely new educational system in Japan is being widely accepted by Japanese leaders under General Douglas MacArthur’s plan to demilitarize and democratize tlie nation, according to Dr. Eleanor Metheny, professor oi physical education.
She recently returned from a three-months period of service as a consultant to the educational authorities at the request of officials in the civilian information section of General MacArthurs headquarters.
‘ Under the new plan oi compulsory education for all children through the ninth grade, opportunities for learning will be greatly increased,” explained Dr. Metheny. “The desire for education and knowledge of the outside world has spread to adults as well Li-
braries are crowded since more i people are learning to read, al- > though the scarcity of books is I acute. Previously the educational j system under military dictatorship was intended only for a comparatively select few. Physical training, for instance, featured judo and sword skills as a means of developing military skills.”
General MacArthur’s policy of American occupation is designed! to help the Japanese aid them* selves, Dr. Metheny emphasized. The native ministry of education j administers the revised curriculum for the school system under American supervision, Dr. Metheny related.
“Although much progress is being made, there are many difficulties to overcome. New textbooks have to be written for each
school subject and the Bhortafce is acute. Frequently there will be only one book for an entire class. The newspapers in Tokyo have alloted one half of their quota of newsprint to the school system,” she said.
The shortage of teachers and the increased number of school children in the new compulsory system presents a critical problem, she continued.
During her stay in the Tokyo headquarters, Dr. Metheny lived under army regulations with the occupational forces, which bring in their own food supplies rather than draw on the short rations of the Japanese. Just prior to her return she was a guest of Prince Takamatsu, third son in the Hiro-hlto family, at afternoon tea.
