are available to show the share of the engineering colleges in the budgets of the universities of which they are parts. As to the special technical schools, they draw their support partly from a fund called "Encouragement Fund for Technical Education, which amounted, in 1912-13, to yen 390,173. The figures relating to income and expenditure of all the institutions that are the subject of this presentation are included in the statistical table for Japan (see p. 101). TOKYO IMPERIAL UNIVERSITY, COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING. The college of engineering attached to the University of Tokyo may be regarded as typical of engineering departments of Japanese universities. It offers 10 divisions as follows: 1. Civil engineering. 2. Mechanical engineering. 3. Naval architecture. 4. Technology of ordnance. 5. Electrical engineering. 6. Architecture. 7. Applied chemistry. 8. Technology of explosives. 9. Mining. 10. Metallurgy. In view of the thorough training in elements of technical science that the students have received in the preparatory higher school, there are no common programs in the university course. Each division follows from the beginning of the first year its own course of specialized studies. It is deemed unnecessary to present here programs of all the above-enumerated divisions; the two inclosed typical programs, of the divisions of mechanical engineering and architecture, give a fair example of the arrangement of studies in all other divisions. The same two divisions in the Special Technical School of Tokyo are presented immediately following these, so that the two systems may be readily compared. In reference to the division of the academic year into three terms, appearing in the following tables, it must be explained that the academic year at the University of Tokyo begins on the 11th of September and ends on the 10th of July. The first term, comprising 105 days, extends from September 11 to December 24; the second term of 86 days covers the period from January 8 to March 31; and the third term of 94 days extends from April 8 to July 10.
