◆ Source of free research theme
When deciding the theme of children's liberal studies, "mothers" were the most prized sources of information in terms of overwhelming "34.9%".

The attitude is stunning, but when asked about the results until the previous year, 66.6% have revealed the fact that it ended through "middle stage - latter half". Based on the experience of the previous year, it seems to be planning that "We will finish this year soon!", But that may not be the case. It can be said that it is an eternal theme from ancient times.
