  The Great Debate
Mori Arinori had a thoroughly Western perspective, perhaps the most enlightened among his contemporaries, and his approach toward Korea was refreshingly free of prejudice.
Mori replied that Minister Date had retired from service and added that, "since the negotiator [Date] had gone, the treaty could not be relied on." Li responded that since it had been ratified by both China and Japan, the 1871 treaty should be observed by both sides.
Mori pressed his point, stating it was beyond belief that China should call Korea a "dependent country" when, by its own admission, the peninsula fully managed the administration of its own foreign and domestic affairs.

 JAPAN'S MODERN EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM [CHAPTER 3 1 (1) b]
Mori Arinori was deeply concerned with the relation between education and national development.
When Mori was in the United States as a minister of the legation, he devoted much thought to the direction that Japanese education should take.
During Mori's tenure overseas, Ito Hirobumi went to the West in order to study constitutional law, and in Paris, he and Mori had the opportunity to meet.

 JAPAN'S MODERN EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM [CHAPTER 3 1 (1) c]
As Minister of Education, Mori Arinori strongly emphasized education for the sake of national prosperity.
For example, when Mori first outlined a draft for the order on a university, he gave this institution the designation of the Imperial University, and he defined the University's goal as teaching and research in those arts and sciences essential to the nation.
Moreover, in the opinion paper to the Cabinet cited above, Mori called for military style education for all males between seventeen and twenty-seven years of age for the purpose of nourishing the spirit needed to defend the fatherland.

The reply from the Mori clan was delivered to the Shogun via an Admiral of the Tokugawa Navy, and this was in the form of cannonballs.
Mori was accused of planning to take over Japan as a whole, which would be achieved by taking possession of the Emperor's person (that's the rule in Japan since time immemorial).

 japanese education
At the head of the modern system was Mori Arinori (1847-1889) who studied in the West and worked as a diplomat in Washington, D.C as part of the Japanese Foreign Ministry.
Arinori's impact on modern Japanese education can also be seen in his focus on women's education and his belief that religion should be separated from education.
The novel system of western-influenced education implemented under Arinori lead to the introduction of the stereotypical Japanese militaristic school of education in which physical drills were used to instill obedience, harmony, and physical fitness in children (Haiducek, 19-20).

 Vocational education and the normal school system
The normal school in Japan was developed by Mori Arinori (1847-1889), the first minister of education.
Mori, who was so eager as to be almost extreme in carrying out educational reform and development, intended with the normal school to correct the intellectual polarization and imbalance in national education.
This appears to be a gloomy contradiction between Mori's ideals and actual practice, but for one involved in the reality of the chaotic society of that day, it might have seemed an inevitable policy.

 [KS] FW: Pro and Con of Restoring Hanja from the Koreanists?....Mori visited Whitney: Who will the Korean leaders of ...
I forward a comment on this topic from J. Marshall Unger of the Ohio State University: Mori Arinori wrote a letter to William Dwight Whitney of Yale University asking his advice on the replacement of the Japanese language with a simplified form of English.
Of course, Whitney, who realized that language is first and foremost speech, dissuaded Mori from the idea of making a kind of spelling-reformed English the language of Japan, but Mori's idea was by no means "cockimamy" in the context of the time it struck him.
The lesson to learn from Mori and the Japanese experience is the one that Whitney intuitively understood: language is primarily speech.
