OOC: I'd like to join - spoke to maxRob today Saeki Fumiko Born into the Saeki clan, Fumiko was trained in swordfighting by her father, a Samurai, though never allowed to fight. The patriarchal Meiji and Ezo governance have led her to despise both systems, yet the patriarchal revolutionaries have led her to despise the recently imported idea of socialism. Born to a Samurai though not one herself, she is treated as a member of the Samurai caste without enjoying its official previleges. A proto-anarchofeminist, she keeps her ideals to herself, knowing that she is not in the position to wage war against the powers that be, at present...

Saeki Fumiko Seeing a particularly confused European in the town center, dressed in an unintentional mockery of traditional Japanese garb, Saeki approaches Marius Klausen as he thumbs through his book and smiles at him. "Sprechen sie Deutsch? Do you speak English? I am Fumiko of the Saeki clan. May I ask your name?"

Saeki Fumiko I thank Matsudaira Naritami for bestowing me with the same honor of my father before me: the title of Samurai. I willingly give up to Ezo any associated stipend. I would prefer to see it used to make our land prosper and to make it safe. I would like to take this moment to make a suggestion for the sake of the future of Ezo. As I am unable to vote, this suggestion is left to my male compatriots to decide. I hope they look upon it kindly. Much talk has been made of Ezo's future, Ezo's modernization. But the underpinning of any such effort is a strong system of education. At present, only those with the title of Samurai are officially educated, and only those that are moneyed can otherwise afford to educate their children appropriately. I believe that, if we are to become truly great, we must educate as much of our populace as we can, at least with the fundamentals of mathematics, Japanese, and a foreign language: perhaps either English or French, as both English-speaking and Francophone nations have been great allies of Ezo. These skills will allow the children of today to be great merchants or great inventors or perhaps even the great warriors of tomorrow, no matter their birth - and we saw at the docks that they certainly have the potential. I propose the establishment of a network of voluntary schools across Ezo, who will accept anyone as a student, regardless of origin. These schools will teach, as noted above, fundamental skills that will help future generations continue to being prosperity to Ezo. In this time of economic need, there is a question of the cost of this proposal. I do not think the cost of my proposal will be significant, especially in the long term. Like me, there are many who are passionate about educating (and, I might add, many more who would come to Ezo for the opportunity to do so). Our passion is not bounded by our wages. I and many others would require no salary, living rather off the kindness of others. The main cost would be construction of the buildings, which would also not be significant - an educator does not need a palace. I hope you look upon this proposal with kind eyes.
