There were many cases where towns which ran girls' high schools or middle schools changed these schools into prefectural secondary schools in the early Showa era in Hokkaido. The purpose of this paper is to point out the characteristics of these processes, analyzing their description in official documents kept by the National Archives of Japan. The results of this research were as follows: 1 Firstly, the authorities of towns established practical courses in girls' high school because it was able to open these without their own schoolhouses. At the same time they made a financial effort to construct independent buildings for these schools. 2 After the completion the schoolhouse, they immediately applied for a change of their school to that of an ordinary girls' high school supported by the Hokkaido prefectural government (Do-Cho). 3 Finally, they tried to change the founder of the school from a town-run by the prefectural government and the Do-Cho accepted their application. This means that the acquisition of the prefectural secondary school in the town by essentially by donation. 4 This method to obtain a prefectural school was also used in the case of town-run middle schools. The local authorities tried again to get prefectural middle schools by such donations. Even into the postwar period, many municipalities opened high schools themselves and several years later gave the school buildings and facilities to the prefecture. This was important not only in terms of providing secondary education but also to attract prefectural organizations to support for education.
