Nobushige Amenomori sent his paper "War and the Japanese Women" to the Atlantic Monthly in 1905 but it was not published and forwarded to W. E. Griffis so that it might be recommended to some other publisher. But it was left unpublished. The imaginable reason for the unpublished paper was that Amenomori died in 1905 when he wanted to publish his paper.<BR>When this paper was written, the war had broken out between Russia and Japan. His aim to write this paper was that he wished Japan to win the war and to inspire American people with the spiritual background of the Japanese women who carried out their duty at home as mother, wife, and daughter.<BR>Amenomori emphasized the opposite aspects of the Japanese women from those who such foreign writers as Lafcadio Hearn and Alice M. Bacon described from the view of aestheticism and subjection. And he also considered a Japanese woman not as some idealized person but as a human being. He thought Japanese patriotism came from the respect and loyalty to the Emperor and the imperial family and that Japan must be much stronger among other nations with the knowledge of Western civilization. His final dream in life was to see that the Orient and the Occident would be united into world peace.

In the summer, 1989 the writer had the first chance to touch the copies of the McGuffey's Eclectic Readers in the Special Collections of Ohio University, in Athens, Ohio. William Holmes McGuffey, author of the Readers, was president of the University (1839-43) and pastor of the First Presbyterian Church in the town.The first editions of the Readers 1-VI were issued through 1836-57 in Cincinnati, Ohio and after that they were revised and spread mainly in Middie America over two generations. The total of the copies amounted to 122, 000, 000. The popularity was due to McGuffey's first intention of teaching young learners moral values in the Bible as much as literary stories.The writer's question is why McGuffey's Primer and Readers were little known in early Meiji period, though they were said to have made the American mind. It was partly because Fukuzawa Yukichi, whose school was very influencial, took Wilson's Primer and Readers and other readers home with him from America, but not McGuffey's ones, and also partly because he regarded Reading as a means of understanding other English books such as science and history, not as for knowing moral background of European civilization.
