nificant enterprise on which the Mayor of Tokyo,
Viscount Goto, had embarked.The prophet is not without honour, save in his own
country. The people of Japan do not differ from those
of other lands in this capacity for giving attention to
foreigners rather than to their own countrymen! There
were many Japanese students of municipal affairs who
could have spoken with more knowledge and more elo-
quence on every theme which I discussed in my tour
through various parts of the Empire, but, owing to the
perversity of human nature, their discourses would not
have received one-half of the attention which was be-
stowed upon my efforts!It is not for me to say whether I succeeded or failed
in the discharge of the first duty entrusted to me, but I
spared neither pains nor labour to accomplish the under-
taking. As evidence of my endeavours to awaken deeper
interest among the citizens of Japan in municipal govern-
ment, the following bare statement about my lectures and
addresses is submitted:
September 16th. Address before Imperial and city
officials, including Viscount Goto, as Chairman, and
Premier Kato.
September 21st. Address before Trustees and Directors
of the Tokyo Institute for Municipal Research.
September 22nd. Address before the Councillors and
officials of the City of Tokyo. Subject: "Special
Assessments."
October 1st. Public address at the Y. M. C. A. Hall in
Tokyo on the occasion of the anniversary of the
granting of self-government to Tokyo. Subject:
"The Place of the City in Modern Industrial
Civilisation."
October 14th. Address before the National Conference
of Social Workers in Tokyo. Subject: "Social
Work in an Industrial Society."
