The German-era school system is disbanded; Yap had 473 pupils at the end of German rule.

What happened

German rule had left schooling to the missions, which by 1914 ran about 20 Catholic schools with over 1,200 pupils, while Protestant schools taught about 600 more in the eastern Carolines. The Japanese let mission schools run for about a year, then from December 1915 forbade German missionaries to teach school.
