TOKIO, Oct. 28.—The principal of the Japanese Language School at Seattle, Torataro Takahata, has returned here to negotiate with the educational authorities for a revision of the Japanese textbooks used in teaching Japanese children in Japanese schools in the United States.
Takahata said he had 270 pupils in his Seattle school and that all of them were at the same time pupils in American public schools. He added:
"To put it in a plain language, Japanese text books used for the Japanese children at home, would be, when used for Japanese children abroad, particularly in the United States, highly calculated to sow the seeds of misapprehension concerning the American-Japanese relations in the tender minds.
With the object, therefore, of making the necessary revision, of the text-book, I have returned here to negotiate with the educational authorities.
When the required revision is introduced, the situation of the anti-Japanese sentiment in America may be considerably improved."
