The purpose of this paper is to discuss the roles of rural post-elementary education for girls during the Japanese modern period. At the time, post-elementary educational institutions were diversified and ranked hierarchically. We compared two schools-Ibaraki and Katano- to show the differences in the processes of raising the hierarchal status of the schools. They were established in 1898 as the courses of sewing for girls called "saihousensyuuka," and attached by higher elementary schools in the suburban villages of Osaka. Ibaraki's status, which had been attached by Youzei higher elementary school in Ibaraki Village, changed in stages and eventually raised to become a girls' high school status, while Katano's status, which had been attached by Kounan higher elementary school in Katano Village, was not raised and eventually became a normal youth school named Katano Girls' Sewing School. The conclusions about rural girls' education are as follows: First, changes in the student hierarchy occurred. At Ibaraki, most of the students were rich farmer's daughters in Mishima District, and there was an increase in new middle class students from large cities during the Showa era. At Katano, almost all the students were farmer's daughters around Katano Village, and they were not rich. Second, the importance of sewing education changed. At Ibaraki, the number of sewing hours decreased, and the number of hours spent on other subjects increased. Katano, however, still placed a high value on sewing after World War II. Third, the social norms for women changed. At Ibaraki, the students were allowed to express more modern and varying behaviors. At Katano, the students were expected to be simple farmer's wives. The introduction of post-elementary education for girls in rural society demonstrated the hierarchical structure of the society during the Japanese modern period.

<p>This article places public vocational schools (Shokugy<span style="text-decoration: overline;">o</span>-Gakk<span style="text-decoration: overline;">o</span>) for girls within the context of the history of women's education by analyzing the education of girls at Sano Higher Practical School for Girls (Sano K<span style="text-decoration: overline;">o</span>t<span style="text-decoration: overline;">o</span> Jissen Jogakk<span style="text-decoration: overline;">o</span>) in Osaka Prefecture.</p><p>In the rural areas of Osaka Prefecture during the 1930's, public vocational schools for girls were established as an alternative to public girls' high schools (K<span style="text-decoration: overline;">o</span>t<span style="text-decoration: overline;">o</span> Jogakk<span style="text-decoration: overline;">o</span>). In the 1940's, most of these vocational schools were converted into girls' high schools. Sano Higher Practical School for Girls was one of them.</p><p>Sano Higher Practical School for Girls taught many of the same subjects as the girls' high schools, but devoted more hours to sewing. Some graduates of the vocational school married immediately after graduation, others were employed at department stores, train stations, or in other fields, while others continued to train in sewing as preparation for marriage. The students in vocational schools regarded the students of the girls' high schools with admiration and a sense of competitiveness. Students, their parents, and graduates wished for the vocational school to become a standard girls' high school.</p><p>In the 1930's, vocational schools were part of the increase in public secondary schools. They were training schools intended to promote the ideal of "Ry<span style="text-decoration: overline;">o</span>sai kenbo", as were girls' high schools. While the purpose of vocational and high schools were similar, vocational schools devoted more hours to sewing and held lower social status. Eventually vocational schools were promoted to girls' high schools.</p>
