Editing Imperial Rescript on Education (section)

==Kikuchi Dairoku and the Imperial Rescript on Education==
In 1907, [[Kikuchi Dairoku]] was invited by the [[University of London]] to give lectures on education from the middle of February for about five months. The central focus of his lectures was the Imperial Rescript on Education. The request for the lectures was initially communicated to [[Hayashi Tadasu]], then ambassador in [[London]] (from December 1905). At first [[Sawayanagi Matsutaro]] was to give the lectures, but he was recalled when in [[Rome]] on the way to London and Kikuchi gave the lectures instead. As a preparation for the lectures he translated the Imperial Rescript into English.
