CALKINS WNU Eervlc How the West Touched Japan contact between the THE offirstJapan and modern Europe occurred In 1542 when a Portuguese ship was blown upon one of the smaller Islands of the Japanese group. For many centuries the Island empire had maintained complete Isolation, evolving Its own civilization. The Portuguese adventurers expected nothing less than Instant death at the hands of these dwarf Chinese.- - To their surprise they were welcomed, closely questioned about Europe by Inquisitive hosts and royally entertained. This adventure was followed by Catholic missionary expeditions. Thirty-two years later 150,000 Japs had become Christians. In 1587, however, the government decided that for all their marvelous firearms the people of Europe had little of value for Japan. Missionaries were ordered away and 20,000 of their converts were killed In 1501. Contact with the western world was almost completely severed. It was left for an American, three centuries later, to resume the Intercourse begun by the Portuguese. Commodore Perry with four warships sailed Into Uraga bay In July, 1853, bringing sewing machines tind frowning cannon. The Yankees desirable merchandise enabled the signing of a commercial treaty, which was the forerunner of treaties with European powers. Popular feeling was stirred against this welcome of foreigners and the shogun was bitterly attacked by the dalmlos -- feudal nobles. The mikados of Japan, since 1336, had ' been merely nominal rulers, their chief functions being religious. The mikado was now backed against the shogun a sort of prime Ten minister to expel foreigners. years after Perrys visit, however, a squadron of British, French, Dutch and American ships bombarded Jap ports after the dalmlos had fired on foreign vessels. The efficacy of European gunnery caused a new change of heart In the mikados party. Japan again became a pupil of the West, and Just a half century after Perrys visit, she became embroiled with Russia, giant of European nations, and won a war with modern, weapons. , A Opium War Opened China I !r k ; y i the way was CURIOUSLY enough introduction of for the Christianity into China by British warships bent on smuggling opium into the country against the determination of the Imperial government. The Chinese, proud of their fifty centuries of native culture, resisted the coming of western commerce and Christian missionaries very vigorously. As long ago as the Thirteenth century the Venetian merchant, Marco Polo, had traveled In China and in the Fourth century a Christian church was established in Peking at the Instance of Pope Innocent IV, but the Chinese had stood steadfast In their desire for continued Isolation. Great Britain, from her base In India, gained some trade through the port of Canton prior to 1840, the main commodity being opium, which the Chinese government soon discovered was debauching Its people. The quarrel resulted In a British fleet attacking the coast of China. The emperor was compelled to throw open the ports of Amoy, Nlngpo, Foochow, Shanghai and Canton to foreign trade. The tea and qllk exports of China soon grew to large proportions. Sixteen years later a French missionary was slain and about the same time the sailors of a British ship were seized as pirates. France and Britain sent fleets up the Pel-h- o river towards Peking, the capital. The outcome of this war was the opening of additional ports to commerce and the granting of new rights to missionaries. The exploitation of the vast empire of China with its 300,000,000 people was now well under way. European nations helped themselves to privileges. By 1895 the emperor had become so that he had electric Europeanized lights In his palace and spent his holidays on a steam yacht.

A secret society, the Order of Literary Patriotic Harmonious Fists (the Boxers) murdered missionaries and plundered Christians. Japan, Russia, Britain, France, Germany and America In 1900 rushed troops to Peking, killed many Chinese, exacted Indemnities totaling $320,000,-00and stipulated privileges for mis slonaries. 0 Guide the Child The child is constantly forming habits; the parent can, to a large extent, guide him In forming those which will help him rather than hinder him in his school life and In hls other relations outside the home.
