BRIDE'S SCHOOL
SUCCESS IN JAPAN
About a year ago Tokio opened tho first Japanese school for future brides. Many people throughout the country ridiculed the idea, while even the menfolk most likely to benefit from the plan scorned the idea Of marrying what they called "theoretical brides" (states tho Tokio correspondent to tho "Morning Post"). Todny the first graduates of this school are 'turning the fables. It did not require long for them to prove to prospective husbands that they had taken their training seriously and that by their cooking, needlework, domestic economy, and education they were superior to the usual run of eligible wivos. Tho news of their success quickly went the rounds of young girls anxious to marry. The result was that so many applied for admission to tho school this year that it was impossible to take them all. Encouraged therefore by both prospective brides and husbands, and inspired by tho success of tho first "wife-graduates," the authorities have decided to open other schools in the provinces. ■ The All-Japan. Woman's Federation is strongly supporting the movement, and it has already been decided to opon schools in Osaka, Fukuoka, and Nara. The Tokio School of Brides is to open also its marriage bureau. so that marriages may be arranged for its graduates before they leave.school.
