Previously, I calculated a ration between humanities department and sciences department in Japan, when I investigated school expresses in Japan.

It's almost 7:3.

The above aside.

When Japan used to try a new education concept of "pressure-free education", so called,

"Because of the existence of such a fool, persons, who go bankrupt without calculating their rate of debt, are increasing.

I remember very well at that time.
