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.

The outline of this paper is to report how the author, as principal of Haneda High School in Tokyo, has managed to persuade the Tokyo Metropolitan Education Board authorities to build a new type of swimming pool which makes effective use of solar energy with the help of his geographical and meteorological background.<br>The more details are as follows:<br>By comparing the data of sensible temperature of the Haneda Air Port, only two kilometers from the author's high school, with those of AMeDAS station of Nerima which is located much more inland of Tokyo, the author found the fact that the level of sensible temperature of Haneda is substantially lower than that of Nerima in early summer and early autumn during 1985-1987 (cf. Fig. 3-Fig. 8)<br>This finding definitely influenced senior officials of the Tokyo Education Board, and they permit the school to build a pool with a movable and transparent roof.<br>As an indication of sensible temperature, the author used the cooling power originally derived from A, Hill (1923). It is given by the following equation.<br>Cooling Power=(0.13+0.47&radic;v)(36.5-t) for v&ge;1.0m/sec&hellip;&hellip;(1)<br>Cooling Power=(0.20+0.40&radic;v)(36.5-t) for v&ge;1.0m/sec&hellip;(2)<br>v: wind Velocity (m/sec)<br>t: temperature (&deg;C)<br>There are two reasons why the author used this equation. Firstly, it is relatively simple and is easy to calculate (cf. (1), (2)) Secondly, the grading of the cooling power is simple, too (cf. Table 1). The authorities concerned can easily understand what these data mean even without sound Knowledge of geography and meteorology.<br>As for the reason why sensible temperature at Haneda is much lower than at Nerima is very clear. It is mostly accounted for by wind velocity and not by temperature (cf. Table 5).<br>Finally, the author thinks it profitable and effective to have a roofed swimming pool for all schools in most parts of Japan, where the swimming season in schools coincides with two cool rainy seasons; the one is in early summer called &ldquo;Baiu&rdquo;, and another comes in early autumn called &ldquo;Shurin&rdquo;, On the other hand, the hottest season of mid-summer is the only suitable season for swimming, but it is unfortunately the period of school vacation.

Most of Japan's grasslands are thought to be the result of the human interruption of vegetational succession. In the Akiyoshidai National Park, a karstic plateau located in Yamaguchi pref., an artificial firing has long been set on every February to maintain its grassland landscape. The firing was one of the agricultural works done by the cattle breeders in old days. But recently, its agricultural importance has diminished as the decline of breeding, the firing is now carried out as the largest sightseeing event. About 1, 000 residents from 31 settlements take part in making firebreaks and firing itself.<br>The motivation of this paper is what emotional change has occurred to the residents in the stream of history. The history of Akiyoshidai is divided into following three stages:<br>1) Pre-modernization stage<br>Agricultural use was active. Residents who were mostly farmers used grasses as green mature and to feed cattle. They cultivated at dolines on the plateau.<br>2) Modernization stage<br>The post war rapid growth of economy caused the decline of agricultural importance of the grassland. On the other hand, the U. S. Army's maneuvers were planned to be done on the Akiyoshidai in 1956, and the opposition movement took place. This movement brought out the national interest on Akiyoshidai's landscape and its preservation.<br>3) Tourism prevailing stage<br>As Akiyoshidai became a famous sightseeing place, the number of tourists has much increased after new traffic methods like Shinkansen were available. Thus the firing became important sightseeing event.<br>From the interviews with residents, the author noticed several features as follows:<br>1) Although the importance of tourism has increased, they are not very interested in it. For some residents the Akiyoshidai is recognized not as a nature-preserved area, but still as the open field to gather some plants.<br>2) Although the firing work faces the excessive aging of residents and the lack of successors, they conservatively have no idea but that work must be done by them as long as possible.<br>3) They seem to be unconscious of the purpose of the firing. It is concluded that the firing is to no more than their custom kept from days when they were cattle breeders, and is now what reminds them what they were.

The purpose of this paper is to make clear the process of development of Tama region and the transportation cargo through the Tamagawa Waterway or Tamagawa-josui, which was originally used for the running water.The author, in this paper, made clear the function of the Tamagawa Waterway as a new canal connecting Tokyo with the Hachioji market area.Though the hinterland and forland of this canal was limited to narrow area along the canal, they used it actively to reduct the transportation cost, and finally competed with freight wagon.In Tama area, they imported mainly manure, and exported firewood, charcoal and bulks of limestone, which was transported from Nishitama area.Moreover, some cargo were came from Yamanashi prefecture via Ange-road.From this view point, the author, should insist that the Tamagawa Waterway as a canal, was included into Edo-metropolitan economic area, and even more extended it.At the beginning of opening of this canal, the enterprisers not only tried to make it inter-trasportation facilities between Tokyo and Western part of Kanto area, but also intended linkage Hachioji and Kawagoe market areas with Tokyo through this new canal.On the other hand, Meiji government intended to make the canal for new transportation facilities for construction materials to use for construction of Tokyo as new capital of Japan.
