First Jap Woman Journalist.
The first Japanese woman to edit a

teaching journalism In the Tokyo

women journalists were unheard of
and unthought of In Japan.
Now
many women are growing Interested In
the profession, but very few of them
have had special training for the work.
That Is why Ml«s Kohnslil is preparing
