Entarô Noguchi (1868-1941) who is well known as a pioneer in the Taisho New Education Movement, especially as principal of the Himeji Normal School and Ikebukuro Children's Village elementary school shows us one of the typical ideas of that movement.He was brought up in the ethical climate of contemporary popular traditional culture, i. e. Buddhism (Jôdo Shinshu) and practical interpretation of Confucianism (Yang-ming school) based on religious and moral feeling of Shinto. After graduating from the Tokyo Higher Normal School, he became the principal of the Normal School of Himeji Prefecture.While in Tokyo, he was strongly influenced by “The Manual of Ethics” of John Stuart Mackenzie (1860-1935) who was an English moral philosopher of the New-Kant School. Under his influence he endeavoured to clarify the educational thought of pursuing that intuitive aspect of rationality which is commonly termed 'right reason' in the doctrine of Natural Law. At the same time, he also studied more naturlistic and experimental theories of contemporary western and American educational thought, on the basis of his traditional Japanese naturalism.The method pursued in this study is to analyze his texts, interpreting the meaning of Noguchi's educational thought and outlook as well as his historical significance and his problems, especially by concentrating on his concepts of nature and personality.

Haruji Nakamura (1877-1924) is a Japanese educator who searched for possibilities of modern education for common people related to the traditional culture and especially to the consciousness of ultimate norms of the Japanese people.Influenced by modern educational thought introduced during the early Meijiperiod, especially Christian practical ethics and humanism such as 'self-help' of Samuel Smiles (1812-1904) or the social movement of fabianism, he tried in his experimental middle school to change the traditional view of man of common people in those days into the view of more responsible and self-disciplined man in modern society.In this attempt, he made use of the ethical teaching of 'Ten Ox-herding' or meditation and ascetic practices of Zen Buddhism and also turned his attention to the methods of teaching used in the 'Terakoya' which treated each child carefully and individually in small groups.Through such experiments, he sought to awaken people to a clear self-cosciousness of taking responsibility in their ethical relations.In spite of respect for and practical use of the tradition, his educational thought aimed at some kind of enlightenment and liberalism respecting responsible individuals and his eyes were directed toward realizing human freedom and social equality in the structural reform of the modernization of Japan.
