Japan in 1968 celebrated what is known as the "Meiji Centenary," and many organizations, the mass communication media, newspapers, and broadcasting all presented special articles and pro grams to mark the occasion. The centenary of the Meiji Restoration celebrated the end of Samurai rule, the almost 300-year rule of the feudalistic clans. During the hundred years since the Restora tion, Japan has made great progress in her develop ment as a modern industrialized state, a develop ment which depends greatly on achievements in the field of education. In 1886, a four-year, universal, compulsory educational system was introduced; in 1907, it was extended to six years, and in 1947 to nine years. The spread of basic education through the schools has given the Japanese people one of the highest levels of literacy in the world, now virtually 100%. By contrast, adult education did not develop to the same level as formal education, though pro vision had been made for it nearly fifty years ago. The importance of adult education had been recog nized among progressive scholars and educationists, but it was not until after the end of World War II
