In this paper the notion of self-government ("jichi") in the Taisho era has been clarified by surveying how studentsand teachers in those days described self-government. By examining political thoughts on self-government, the notion ofself-government has been classified into two categories. In order to classify there are two important concepts, namely independenceand self-decision. The self-government by students without independence could be subdued by the school.In the self-government without independence, students could decide in themselves as far as the teachers permitted. Itcan be named "nominal self-government". The self-government by students without self-decision may have been independentof school but could be controlled by upper grade students. The control by upper grade students was often usedby teachers as a system to keep discipline. The self-government by students with independence and self-decision canhardly be recognized in this paper.
