In the early 19th century, Westerners such as William Chambers, George Macartney,and Thomas De Quincey encountered the Orient with feelings of surprise, interest, difference,and displeasure. Edward W. Said mentions in Orientalism (1978) that the Orient is the image ofthe other that repeatedly appears in the depth of the mind of the West (1). "Kubla Khan"displays a polarity of images conveying Coleridge's ambiguous feelings toward the Orient.Coleridge uses his theory of polarity in his representations of the Orient. This theory statesthat the oppositions between polar extremes compete with each other, thereby maintaining abalance. This paper argues that representations of the Orient that include opposite images aremostly balanced with precarious elements. These precarious elements express the true natureof Coleridge's ambiguous feelings for the Orient.This paper divides" Kubla Khan" into five parts: the river Alph (lines 1–11 and 25–30),chasm (lines 12–24), pleasure dome (lines 31–36), Abyssinian maid (lines 37–47), and society (lines48–54). It considers how each aspect of the Orient depicted therein exemplifies theprecariousness included in Coleridge's theory of polarity. The Orient was an imaginary worldfor Coleridge, who had not seen it and had only read books or heard talks about it. Thus, it is anon-existential thing or an unknown world that is not easily accepted but cannot be ignoredand evokes various feelings. Therefore, the balance of ambiguous feelings for the OrientinColeridge's mind cannot avoid instability and lacks permanence.

This is Kajii's only and last novel relating actual or external circumstances as opposed to thoughts or feelings precisely described in his former works. The novel is constructed with several episodes, all ofwhich are concerning patients of tuberculosis of the lungs and their families. As is commonly known, the disease was incurable early in the Showa era and patients were cast into the abyss of despair. Yoshida is one of such patients. He is bedridden, and so, his old mother takes care of him a whole day. One night, inspite of the fact that he is in a critical condition because of dyspnoea, he observes his self-consciousness as a sick person. Yoshida is inclined to think much of the inner life, and so, in case that he knew a woman's death, he first of all thinks of her solitary feeling. Though she was well cared for by her mother, just after her mother's death, she died,too. His mother is more keenly sure that her care is indispensable to her son. The episode shows that their point of view is much different from each other. His mother carries news of the neighborhood who depend on various popular remedies and he remembers that he was faced with such cases there previously. Yoshida takes a broard view of things in the actual world and eventually he comes to understand how hard they struggle against their hardships even if in a stupid way. Lastly, hefinds out the reality around death from statistics. He watches the statistics figures of mortality discloses that poor patients may face death earlier than rich ones and he knows that the former is composed of the strong-minded or not. Moreover, he recognizes whateven they may be, they must die. The nobel is closedrevealing realistic aspect of death.

After the Boxer uprising, the Qing government promoted educational reform inaccordance with the New Policies. In 1902, Wu Xin, a graduate of Nan-yang Academy,established a girls' school called Wu-ben nü-shu in Shanghai. Wu, accepting the support offamily, recognized the importance of a girls' school and asked Shimoda Utako, a specialist ongirls' education in Japan, to send a female Japanese teacher. Thus, Kawahara Misako arrivedat Shanghai to become a teacher at Wu-ben nü-shu in September 1902.Generally, October 24,1902, is considered the day Wu-ben nü-shu was established.However, Chen Xie-fen visited the school on July 12 that year,and Kawahara arrived inSeptember. After consulting several materials, I can infer that the school was established inJanuary 1902 of the lunar calendar.Finally, I clarified the school's early state of affairs through Kawahara's memoirs.

In this paper, previous studies about number concepts in childhood were considered for investigation concerning those of children with intellectual disabilities. The main findings were as follows:(1) There are little studies about number concepts of children with intellectual disabilities.(2) Children have a surprising amount of informal mathematical knowledge in childhood.(3) Informal mathematical knowledge are greatly depended on children's own experiences.(4) Experiment about equal distribution is proper measure for understanding children's number concepts.Therefore it is necessary to investigate the relationship between number concepts and equal distribution of children with intellectual disabilities.
