This paper will demonstrate the actual conditions of military exercise in elementary schools. Although there is a great deal of research on military exercise in normal schools and junior high schools, there is very little to date on elementary schools. This paper will approach the study of military exercise in elementary school through an examination of the disposition, the use, and treatment of model rifle, the primary instructional aid of military exercise. This research highlights two important features. First, the Ministry of Education only concerned itself with the larger framework of military exercise in elementary schools and did not promote the use of model rifles. Second, regional elementary schools actively accepted model rifles ; they sought to create a sense of reality by demanding model rifles that looked like the real thing. As this paper argues, the reason regional schools accepted the use of model rifles was that they were used during school field trips and ceremonies, not just for military exercise class because those involved with the school were concerned about their appearance, being disposed to worry about how others look upon them. There is one additional point regarding the relationship between children the rifles. The model gun was stored where it could be easily seen by the children, and the children also kept the rifles clean. In this way, an attitude of respect for the rifle was cultivated in elementary school children. The practice of military exercise did not end with the class period, but affected many people in and out of school at various times.

This paper will clarify the establishment of Japanese language classes in Tokyo junior high night schools in order to situate the study of junior high night schools within the history of education in postwar Japan. At first, junior high night schools provided instruction to students who failed to attend school or had long absences due to postwar confusion. By the end of the 1960s, junior high night schools accepted repatriates and returnees from Korea and China. Because repatriate/returnees were born in Korea and China during the war, they could not speak Japanese, and, as seen in examples such as Tokyo, Japanese language classes were was required. However, language classes in junior high night schools were not established smoothly because such courses did not fit into the normal institutional design. On-site teachers had to cope with the challenges that arose Tokyo junior high night schools provide a suitable example for examination of such on-site adjustments. First, this paper considers the background to the establishment of Japanese language classes, particularly the new role given to junior high night schools with the influx of repatriates and returnees in Tokyo under the Minobe government (Section II). Second this paper examines the challenges faced by on-site teachers with the formation of language classes by analyzing records produced by the teachers themselves (Section III). Third this paper argues that on-site efforts by teachers became linked to public campaigns beyond school education (Section IV). The establishment of Japanese language class was an important historic turning point in the development of the junior high night school, because it established the precedent for what is today considered one of the most important roles of the night school, that of acceptance of "newcomers."

This paper examines how teacher training in the university, one of two major principles supporting teacher training in postwar Japan, was accomplished after the inception of the new educational system, through the example of the Tohoku University Department of Education. The education department, an organization without parallel nationwide, was born out of the subsumption of normal schools that were the vehicle for compulsory school teacher training in the prewar imperial university education system. However, from the context of the postwar reform period, the very concept of the university became the ideal place for teacher training as it would eliminate the abuses perpetrated in the normal schools of the imperial education system. If the important change brought about by the teacher training in the university was an the establishment of university graduation as an elementary school teacher qualification, it is necessary to investigate how the education system was transformed by the inception of the new education system. First, this paper analyzes the standard expected of university instructors over teacher training at Tohoku University, by considering reports of the university chartering committee screening of individual instructors. Second, this paper describes the teacher training system of Tohoku University through an analysis of instructors and specific educational content of teacher training. This paper provides the following conclusions. First, immediately after the establishment of the Department of Education at Tohoku University, it appears that many faculty over teacher training were brought in from Miyagi Normal School, and that Tohoku University professors were unable to satisfactorily compensate for the lowere standards of the incoming normal school instructors. Second, this paper reveals the limitations of the cooperative system of Miyagi Normal School and Tohoku Imperial University with their disparate standards of university education and elementary teacher training, particularly when compared to the new system where Education Department students are able to take courses in other departments, courses themselves supported by high level research.

This paper examines the process of the establishment of municipal Korean schools in Japan. These Korean schools were started in 1949 in cities with a significant resident Korean population. The study of the establishment of municipal Korean schools provides a better understanding of the characteristics of public education in postwar Japan, and of Korean children's educational experiences. This paper not only reveals the conditions of the establishment of municipal Korean schools (school name, location, period of existence), it also shows the legal framework that made it possible to establish these schools. In particular, this paper considers Ministry of Education policies, the awareness of GHQ, and countermeasures taken by several local governments. In 1948, the Ministry of Education declared that all school age Korean children must attend schools prescribed by Article 1 of the School Education Law. Just after that, in 1949, the Ministry of Education closed down almost all Korean educational facilities, including schools approved by Article 1. As a result of this, municipal schools had to accept Korean students. To satisfy this influx of Korean students, some local governments requested permission to use the closed schools' premises as branch schools. In response to their request, the Ministry of Education issued a memorandum permitting the establishment of municipal branch schools as an exception to the rule. Under this memorandum, some local governments, for various reasons, established municipal Korean schools between 1949 and 1950.

This paper reveals the great controversy surrounding the process of determining Prewar Japan’s national flag regulations through an analysis of government approved textbook descriptions. National flag regulation long remained unsettled, with an intense debate raging through the 1920’s and 1930’s.During the 1920’s the Japanese government failed to model to the public consistent, official national flag customs which contributed to the persistent controversy, in that the government did not recommended the rising of the national flag in public space on holidays, etc.Emphasis on national flags customs varied. As a result, diverse views continued to be disseminated even government approved Textbooks. In December, 1930, the government issued an official notice determining national flag customs. However, there was a great deal of public opinion opposed to the new regulation. Flag customs promulgated in textbooks published by the Ministry of Education even differed from one another. Even though the issue was discussed by the House of Representatives, the controversy remained unresolved. The prewar Japanese government was unable to standardize flag custom. In 1940, the issue was finally resolved; the Ministry of Education produced a textbook that finally adopted the December, 1930 official notice on flag customs.Public records government approved textbooks, and Diet records were utilizes in the research for this paper.
