 note = {In Japan. the Meiji government created a Ministry of Education in 1871 (the fourth year of Meiji), and the Japanese word for the Ministry is "MONBU-SHO." From this word, however, we cannot infer what the purpose of the Ministry is. In the notification for the purpose of the establishment of the Ministry and in the explanation for the foundation of a school system, we can find the word "GAKUMON (learning)" but not "KYO-IKU (education)." The purpose, therefore, seems to be giving "GAKUMON" to the Japanese people. In 1877 (the eighteenth year of Meiji,) "MONBU-SHO" took the initiative in converting its purpose from "GAKUMON" to "KYO-IKU," but did not repaint its signboard "MONBU-SHO" - intentionally or not, it has kept the meaning of "GAKUMON, learning" and has been developing "KYO-IKU." In supplementary, it is shown that the Japanese word "KYO-IKU" is not equivalent to the English word "education."},
