National Geographic : 1960 Dec

Like a painted doll, a Hiro shima girl prays at a Shinto shrine during the Autumn Festi val. For this holiday parents dress daughters in their bright est kimonos. Second graders of the Sugo Primary School on Kyfshfi bow to teacher as morning class begins. Starting to school marks the end of a life of indulgence. Small children rule the Japanese home as tyrants; doting parents satisfy their every whim. Despite shortages of both teachers and schools, Japan has one of the world's lowest illit eracy rates-two percent. Boys and girls study together in most public schools.
