I They have a complete system of kindergarten, elementary, middle and high schools, and four Imperial Uni- versities, all receiving government support. The Japs are very intelli- gent, quick to adapt themselves to new ideas. They are adopting .vest~ ern customs and making rapid pro gress. Miss Sutherland said she did not feel at all afraid of the Japs. and whi1e.there she tried to act as an ' ambassador for Canada by giving them a true perspective. Now she felt as ' if she should act here as an ambassa- dor from Japan. There was a thrill in coming back to her native coun - try, and she felt more proud than ` ever to be a Canadian and a Britis`h subject. Tho r~lin1ntr=- of .Tanan varies on ac- Subject.
