During the Edo Era many fishermen emigrated from Kansai to Kanto District, especially for fishing sardines, and some of them formed fishing villages there. Main purpose of this paper is to clear the transformations of these areas and then to analize these factors. In particular, the auther paid attention to the following three points: the fishing method, the relationships between the fishermen and the wholesalers dealt with dried sadines as fertilizer, and the ways of getting the fishing or business informations.The summaries of this research are as follows:1. The transformations of fishing areas by fishermen emigrated from Kansai District are divided into three periods according to the heavy or poor catch: the developing period (1555-1677), the diffusing period (1678-1725) and the migrating period (1726-1815). In the first period, they were fishing along the rocky coast in Kanto District. In the second period, their fishing area expanded to the sandy coast as well as the rocky coast, and during the last period they migrated to the rocky coast again and formed their fishing villages.2. The shore seine in the sandy coast needed many fishermen and they were engaged in the various parts. Another side, in the rocky coast, the fishermen used the pair-boats lift net. Judging the fishing gears and the changes of the fishing areas, there are two types of areas. Namely, one is the shore seine type in sandy coast and the pair-boats lift net type in rocky coast.3. In the area of the former type, the fishermen came there in small groups and took the higher position among the fishermen. On the other hand, in that of the latter type the fishermen came there in large groups. The area of the latter corresponded with the collecing area of the wholesalers at Uraga in the easternpart of Miura Peninsula. Generally, the fishermen got the fishing or commercial informations in Kanto District from another fishermen who had come there before.

The contents of this paper consist of the seven subjects indicated below. With the exception of (6), this paper provides a summary of views pertaining to various aspects of geography education from the standpoint of education in the classroom.(1) Detrimental effects were indicated with respect to the contents of textbooks being regulated by school curriculum guidelines, and all textbooks tending to be excessively uniform. This may be considered to be analogous to the current issue of relaxation of regulations.(2) Starting around 1965, the number of regional geographical teaching materials within the contents of elementary school social studies has diminished, and a trend of a lack of spatial understanding was pointed out from a comparison with the enhancement of period history in history teaching materials. It was stated that this dissociation of both fields should be corrected from the standpoint of healthy social studies development.(3) Differences in the manner in which education administration and geographical societies are reflected in geography education were compared between the US and Japan through a comparison of those factors. In other words, in Japan, the intentions of geographical societies are not reflected in education administration, and it was pointed out that classroom education presently is overly dependent on the Ministry of Education resulting in uniform and passive education.(4) Personal opinions were stated regarding the importance of the handling of place names that constitute essential basic knowledge in geography education.(5) A present situation that has wandered off course while looking back over the progress of the past fifty years since the end of World War II is depicted with respect to the two forms of training, an endless topic in the field of education.(6) The paper of Prof. Osamu Nishikawa is discussed, and an introduction is provided to the practicality of geography in both present and future society.(7) With respect to differences between the sexes in learning geography, the question was raised based on personal experiences of the author that, in addition to differences in physiological phenomena of the cerebrum between males and females, significant differences between interests and concerns among females may be one of the causes of an inaptitude for learning geography.

The purpose of this study is to examine the adult education system from the viewpoint of location and utilization of adult education centres and secondary schools in the U. K. The author intends to compare the adult education programmes, which are related to the urban environments and the locations of the centres in the boroughs of Camden and Kingston upon Thames in London. The centres are classified in two categories; centres only for adult education but originally for other uses, i. e. secon dary schools, ccolleges, libraries, community centres and so on. The subjects offered in the programmes are classified to seven categories; liberal studies, health & sports, foreign languages, test preparation, specialized studies, technical studies and basic skills. The questionnaire survey with respect to after-hours use of secondary schools was given to them and the user's groups in the boroughs. The results are as follows:<br>There are over 35 adult education centres in Camden and 16 in Kingston upon Thames. In Camden, all of the centres were originally for another use; Kingsway College. In Kingston upon Thames, there are 6 centres only for adult education authorized by Kingston Community Education (KCE), Other centres were originally for other uses; 5 for KCE, 2 for Kingston College and 3 for Kingston University.<br>About half of all subjects consists of technical studies and liberal studies in both boroughs. With regard to the location of the centres, there are many subjects such as technical studies and basic skills in north Camden, and there are many subjects such as liberal studies and test preparation in south Camden. In Kingston upon Thames, the curriculum is not so different between various areas in the borough. However, with regard to the 3 authorities, KCE, Kingston College and Kingston University, each imposes a variety of courses. There are many subjects such as liberal studies, health & sports and foreign languages in KCE, test preparation, technical studies at Kingston College, and specialized studies at Kingston University.<br>Within KCE, the number of subjects offered was 1, 182 in 1995/96. There was a wide variety of subjects in all centres, even in small evening centres. From the course timetable, over half of the subjects (637) were provided in the evening (after 18:00).<br>There were 347 subjects in the morning, and 195 in the afternoon. This means that the evening time is important for many students.<br>From the results of the questionnaire survey, secondary schools let out many kinds of facilities (everything except school libraries). Generally, school managers' main concern was not local help for the courses, bututhe maintenance of facilities, especially against violence. Many users' groups answered that than ratio of members who live beyond walking distance to school is larger than within walking distance. In many cases, users' groups rent classrooms, halls and gymnasiums because of the low rental price and their familiarity with schools. It is considered that the location and utilization of secondary school facilities are important for the provision of adult education in local areas.

This research, which used Ibaraki Prefecture as the research area, was aimed at clarifying the kind of agricultural education conducted at Japan Fork High School (Nihon-Kokumin-Koto-Gakko) for the children of the settlers of land reclaimed after the war.The Japan Fork High School, whose first principal was agricultural leader, Kanji Kato, was established in Tomobe, Ibaraki Prefecture in 1926, and modeled on the Fork High School of Denmark. Kato tried to teach his students how to master methods of independent agricultural management, and methods of improving productivity in areas with poor land conditions, and how to become the ideal Japanese farmer through mind discipline.In regards to the details of education in Japan Fork High Schools following the end of World War II, only those students who chose to took classes in mind discipline. However, practical agricultural training and fieldwork made up over 40% of the entire curriculum, continuing the focus of education on practical learning.In the agricultural training, students were taught how to respond to postwar changes in Japanese agriculture, how to handle techniques to transform ill-drained paddy fields into a well drained fields and increase the yield, how to deal with tractor and combine and increase farming scale, and how to employ sustainable cultivation methods without using large amounts of pesticides and chemical fertilizers. Instruction of such new postwar agricultural techniques and farming methods to students was conducted by part-time instructors who had graduated from the Agricultural Department of the Japan Fork High School or agricultural trial research workers.Prior to World War II, graduates from the Japan Fork High School were dispersed throughout the country, but in postwar time the graduates came to be concentrated in Ibaraki Prefecture.Ibaraki Prefecture, which has the largest number of graduates, dispersed graduates around the Joban Line area prior to the war. After the war ended, graduates came to be concentrated in the southern part of the prefecture, with an especially marked increase in the various towns on the diluvial upland around Lake Kasumigaura and Lake Kitaura, areas with a great amount of postwar reclaimed land construction.It was in this postwar reclaimed land that settlers, who were directly instructed by Kanji Kato, recommended their children to attend the Japan Fork High School. The children of these settlers learned not only theory at the Japan Fork High School, but also came to comprehend practical knowledge and techniques, and acquired the ability to respond to postwar agricultural change, thereby making a success of agricultural business upon reclaimed land.

&ldquo;Hinokuni&rdquo; is the old name of Japan. &ldquo;Hi&rdquo; meaning the sun and &ldquo;kuni&rdquo; means country. &ldquo;Japan&rdquo; is the name that the foreigners &ldquo;Nippon&rdquo;: Nip=HI=Sun, pon=origin, and so Nippon denoets &ldquo;the sun rising country&rdquo;. Therefore Hinokuni, Nippon, and Japan have the same meaming.<br>Settlement of Japan begun from Izumo and northern kyushu in the ancient times by rice culture peoples, after which Yamato became civilized.<br>The author discoveved a series of these place-names in these ancient civilized district Namely they are as follows.<br>Taale I<br>The most conspicuous fact is that the place-name of Yamato can be found in all the civilized regions of ancient Japan listed above. But &ldquo;Yamato&rdquo; was interpreted untill now a smeaning &ldquo;the placewhich mountains lie&rdquo; because it seemed to be so only by the linguistic analogy; Yama=mountain, to=place. The author has found ita reasonable explanaton through the Malay word Yamtuan=King, Sovereign.

The purpose of this study is limited to discuss the terminologies of the landforms (following the examples of plateaus, highlands, uplands, plains and basins), for the compulsory education in Japan, from a viewpoint on both domestic and foreign terminologies in relation to demonstrate tentative ones, proposed by the writer, of the landforms.According to his opinion, the schoolchildren in a primary school and the pupils in a junior high school, in Japan, have to learn of the proper geographical terms which will be able to receive an international understanding, since there is no doubt that most of them will be working for an international viewpoint in the 21st century. This is why the present study carry out.In order to make sure of the actual usage for the above mentioned five types of the landforms, an atlas for social study in the primary school course and that for the study in the junior high school one have respectively been examined. The usage of the landforms in the atlases have been discussed in view of the terminological descriptions of the domestic and foreign geomorphologists.The main subjects of this study are summerized as follows;1). The plateau (Kohgen in Japnese; e.g. Kibi Plateau, Mino-Mikawa Plateau and so on) is not an adequate expression but the mountain is a desirable one, judging from the facts the plateaus, in Japan, represent the feature of inclined and dissected erosion surfaces which gradually desend to neighbouring lower lands. These features differ entirely from those in the foreign countries.2). The highland (Kohchi in Japanese; e.g. Abukuma Highlands, Kitakami Highlands and so on) is not a proper expression but mountain is desirable one also, judging from the facts these highlands are not always situated on the most highest regions in Japan. In other regions, Japan, there are some of the mountains being similar to so-called plateaus. And the plateaus, moreover, stand by the lower altitude than those in the foreign countries.3). Speaking of the upland (Daichi in Japanese), it is more reasonable to give a place name or a technical term (e.g. “Nasunogahara”, “Makinohara Dissected Fan” and so on) for those. As the synonym of the upland, the Diluvial upland has customarily been used in Japan, but it differs entirely from the remarkable features (the altitudes, relieves and geologic structures) of the uplands in the foreign countries.4). In general, the plain (Heiya in Japanese) has reasonably been used. However, in the case of the plain where includes the uplands in its extent, the usage is unusual compared with that in the foreign countries. In this case we may use a technical term instead of the plain. For example, we may use “Kantoh Basin” in place of “Kantoh Plain”. If we use the name of “Kantoh Plain”, we have to name “Musashino or Nasunogahara” (the place name) instead of “Musashino Upland or Nasunogahara Upland”.5). Speaking of the usage of the basin, there is no unreasonable one.

As the objccts of present study the writer has selected Bittschu area, lying the west of Okayama Prefecture and having the Takahashi River in its central part. He has studied its rural houses from the point of materials for thatching, roof forms, the arrangement of rooms and the difussion of techniques in thatching.<br>1) Materials for thatching roofs<br>This area can be classified into miscanthus thatching, miscanthus and straw thatching and straw thatching areas. Miscanthusthatched houses are found in the Chugoku Mountains and in the northern part of the Kibi Tableland, where miscanthus can be most easily obtained. Miscanthus grows in the tracts commonly owned by the people. They make it practice to co-operate in thatching their houses. In most of the Kibi Tableland where a straw is grown better than a miscanthus and a miscanthus alone is not sufficient for thatching, miscanthus and straw thatching can be seen, while in the plains of the south where there is no miscanthus but plentiful straw, straw thatching is generally practiced.<br>We can find a close connection between the geographical features …………… the Chugoku mountains, the Kibi Tableland and the plains in the south ………… and the materials for thatching roofs.<br>2) The roof forms<br>There are three classes of roof forms ……… <i>irimoya</i> roof, <i>yosemune</i> roof and gable roof. In Okayama Prefecture, many <i>irimoya</i> roofs mixed fewer <i>yosemune</i> roofs, and here and there tiled gables, but hardly straw-thatched ones are seen. <i>Irimoya</i> roofs are chiefly found in the Chugo kuMountains and the Kibi Tableland, while in the middle and southern section of the Kibi Table-land <i>irimoya</i> roofs are mixed with <i>yosemune</i>. The further toward the south wego down, the smaller gables become, and in the Kojima Peninsula, the extreme south, only <i>yosemune</i> roofs are found. In regard to the roof ornaments, they are simple in the Chugoku Mountains, complex in the Kibi Tableland and simple again in the plains of the south. The most striking ornaments of gables are openworks of a letter "water" or of a family crest found in the Chugoku Mountains and the north-west section of the Kibi Tableland.<br>3) The arrangement of rooms<br>Ordinarily four rooms are common, but here and there irregular ones are also found. In the north there is a hearth. In the central part also, once there must have been a hearth. That is testified by the presence of a wooden floor. Formerly a barn was established within a house. But later, it was built independently outside the house, leaving a large earth floor behind. A wooden floor was fixed where the earth floor had been. Thus the hearth, which had been in the middle room, was moved to a newlymade woden floor.<br>In Okayama Prefecture cattle have been kept in a main house except in the central and southern parts of West Bittschu.<br>As for pillars in a house, chestnuts are chiefly used as materials in miscanthus and straw thatching area as well as in miscanthus area, while Japan ceders or pine trees are used in straw thatching area. Pine trees are generally used for the upper part of a house. An old style buildig, in which pillars are directly erected on the foundation, still remains along the coast of the Inland Sea.<br>4) Diffusion of the technique in thatching roofs<br>It seems that they thatched their roofs in co-operation. Since Meiji Era so-called Geishu Roofers, ……… most of them were natives of Hiro village ……… have been working all over Okayama Prefecture away from their home. Some of them have settled down and been training their apprentices. Carpenters also diffused all over the prefecture. Many of the shrines were built by Shiaku carpenters, who, the writer supposes, have had some effect upon rural house type. However, only small number of them have penetrated deep into the north, so
