Little is known about the history of municipal social education policy, because most studies on the history of social education have concluded that it specially played central role to govern the rural society through the Emperor system in modern Japan. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the rationalization of recreation resulted from the change of work and leisure composition in the 1920's through an analysis of the social education policy in the Osaka city government. The leisure time of urban dwellers had been left largely to commercialism which had exploited their life. Reforming their leisure time and recreational activities seriously as a municipal problem meant more than recuperation from their labor. It involved also opportunities for citizenship education to make urban dwellers independent and ideal citizens. First, I review the composition of work and leisure problems from a statistical research of working and leisure time. Secondly, I consider the policy of recreation in the Osaka city government under the following two points. For one thing, the recreational thought of officials specializing in urban policy. Then the fostering growth of attachment for modern Osaka contained in consuming leisure activities. In this paper I would like to show some historical facts in order to establish the history of the social education policy based on urban universality in modernization process which will recompose the most historical studies so far.
