This study analyzes "The materials for the responses to questions in the first Diet" stored in the Kyuzo Takenoshita Collection, and discusses the selected contents concerning physical education at schools.Firstly,this study describes in detail how "The materials (final draft)" was prepared by Physical Education Bureau in 1947 and the overall composition of them. Secondly,by examining the final draft,this study reveals a part of historical facts on the then physical education at schools and policy intentions in the Bureau.The findings are as follows;1) In regard to the title,"Guide to Physical Education" promulgated in August 1947,highly-suggestive information was obtained in the final draft,i. e.,the comparison with previous studies shows that it was titled between May 21 to Jun 21 in 1947.2) It was revealed that the Bureau, disagreeing with GHQ/SCAP/CIE,reflected its policies in the final draft. Specifically, I it stated the revival of martial art education while eliminating social dances at schools. This can afford an insight in search for the key agent for physical education reform in the early postwar years.3) It is inferred that the Bureau,displaying policies for health education at schools in the final draft,promoted it without any consultation with other departments or agencies in the Ministry of Education.
