November 10, 2014; Went to Gyosei International School

November 10, 2014
Dear Friends and Students
I went to Gyosei International School after one or two years of interval.
The owner is getting old but his spirit of moving forward is still strong.
I mentioned to put Mr. Maruyama sensei(Ph. D from Sophia and devout Catholic and very nice educator) as a principal of school but he said that sensei has no sense of business and that the school needs it to run the building and educate system they have now.  I felt his view is the same as our Yokohama Gaikokujin Bochi leader Mr. Komor's view for business. It is the view that how much you can earn from the project.
The may have learned from the old French Marianists whom they have in common.
However when it came to take care of the dormitory he reminded me of good point of Marianists. He lives in a small room equal to the size of pupils' room, simple and live together with them and love and care toward them are that of old Brothers of Marianists.
