In Japan, the observation project of Leonid meteor shower by high school students has been continued for four years since 1998. In 1998 and 2001, we succeeded to collect detailed information about dust tube under a good condition. Especially, in 2001 season, there is a meteor shower with hourly rate over 3000 in East Asia. So the detailed information about the dust tube is acquired by high school student's with naked eyes, the radio observations, and video camera. In this project, there were about 200 observation points on about 2000 km base line length. It means that the points were located every 50-100 km; if it is taken the case, this network is the group of dust detectors arranged all around the Japanese islands. And the total number of the students who participated in this project is over 10000. It is a very big network as not only for studying meteor showers but also for educating students.
