This study deals with the progress and background of establishing the Hyakukou Kagaku Ka (Industrial Chemistry Course) in Niigata School, the purpose of Hyakukou Kagaku Ka and its curriculums, etc. Niigata School for English-language was established by Governor Masataka Kusumoto in 1872, and it was the origin of secondary school in Niigata Prefecture. Kusumoto attempted to fix and develop secondary education with Niigata School, however, it became difficult to secure students owing to the competition with National Niigata School of English Studies established later. Governor Moriteru Nagayama, newly appointed under such circumstances, established the Hyakukou Kagaku Ka in Niigata School in 1876 with a model of the Seisaku Gaku Kyouzyou (Industrial Course) in National Tokyo Kaisei School with an intention of promoting the secondary education and industry in Niigata Prefecture. On the background where Niigata School and Hyakukou Kagaku Ka were established, we pointed out that Kusumoto and Nagayama, local government officials sent from the central government, had a policy achieving a national enrichment through promoting industry.
