The aim of this paper is to clarify the position and characteristics of Political Education in the activities of The Woman's Suffrage League of Japan (WSL) which was organized to agitate for women's suffrage in 1924.   The most important aim of WSL was to achieve women's suffrage. Therefore they lobbied the Diet. They assumed that Political Education would become more familiar to women and a more important part of their activities after they got the vote. The movement for women's suffrage made progress in this period.   After “Mansyu-Jihen” (1931), however, lobbying for women's suffrage at the Diet began to decline gradually. To cope with this difficult situation, WSL began to cooperate with local governments instead of going directly to the Diet During this process, they realized that connecting Political Education with the everyday lives of women would arouse their political interest.   This Political Education was meant to increase the popularity of the movement to get women's suffrage by focusing on the everyday lives which women were living. It was also meant to convert their individual demands into political opinions, through their everyday lives.

<p>  This research paper aims to elucidate the educational philosophy of Scouting posited by Goto Shinpei, the first Chief Scout of Japan. In particular, his understanding of the Scout Movement, his thinking about the difference between school and scout education, his self-government theory in scout education, and his idea of applying the theory to adult education are considered. </p><p>  Scout documents included in Goto Shinpei's documents are mainly used in this paper. These scout documents had been kept by a relative of Goto Shinpei before World War II, and were thought to be long missing until recently. Consequently, no prior research has referred to them. </p><p>  Goto Shinpei actively gained knowledge on the theory and practice of scouting, and he gave lectures on scouting across the whole country. He insisted on the need for scouting activities, distinct from school education; this was to be consistent with his cultivation of the autonomous spirit, a concept he had long advocated. Goto Shinpei's idea, "Ethics Movement of Politics" was the application of education on self-government in scouting to adults.</p>

This study aimed to clarify an aspect of the role of religion in prewar social education organizations by identifying the relationship between the Federation of Boy Scouts in Japan and Boy Scouts troops affiliated with religious groups. While focusing on the relationship between the Boy Scout troops in Konkokyo, Honganji-ha, and Ohtani-ha sects and the Federation of Boy Scouts in Japan, this study examined the consistency between religion and emperor ideology and found the following findings. First, the Boy Scouts in Europe and the United States of America were based on Christian ideology; however, during the process of organizing the Boy Scouts in Japan, sectarianism was eliminated. Second, religious organizations adopted the methods of the Boy Scouts to improve traditional religious education and sought to organize themselves in their own way such as altering Scout Promise and Law. Third, the Boy Scouts encouraged all participants to clarify their faith and belong to a religious order as part of their educational policy. However, the Boy Scout troops that systematically belonged to a religious sect depended on the existence of the Federation of Boy Scouts in Japan, a national organization, and threatened the absoluteness of the emperor’s ideology. Thus, the relationship between the emperor system ideology and religion created tension in the Federation of Boy Scouts in Japan.

The purpose of this paper is to analyze how the practical idea of “Jidokan”, Child Welfare Institutions, has changed in state measures and theories, and to understand structurally the historical process of “Jidokan” practice in Tokyo since the 1970s, taking notice of the relation between the idea and individual practices.  State run “Jidokan” have been needed to cope with various subjects, for example to educate children healthily and to support child rearing. The theoretical ideas can be classified roughly into an outline of the right to live and of the right to education. The former has been the principle concept behind the establishment of the institutions. The latter, growing out of it, has aimed to establish children's independence for creating their culture by nurturing their own organizations. In practical activities, practitioners have been groping in the dark in face of a gap between the two ideas. But we can find some practices in which children have acted creatively, not as recipients of service.  Today, we have to make the meaning of these hidden practices and to deepen the idea of “Jidokan” in accordance with an outline of the right of education.

The purpose of this study is to explain the process of establishment and activities of Hanni-Woman Library, and investigate the meaning of women's reading activities in the 1960's.   By analyzing the miscellany of Hanni-Woman Library, it is demonstrated that the women at that time were alienated from reading activities or other cultural activities because of pressure from their family, especially from their mother-in-law.   Hanni-Woman Library gave them the opportunity to read.   Although the number of library members were reduced because of women's participation in public and prevalence of television, there were some women who continued their reading activities.   Through activities of the Hanni-Woman Library, women became to form a habit of reading and to find the importance of learning together.   For them, reading activities were an essential source of their cultivation in order to decide things for themselves and act on their own judgments and present their thoughts and ideas.

This paper discusses how Ueno Zoo in Tokyo and Tennoji Zoo in Osaka received two elephants from Siam in 1935. The elephants were gifts from the Siamese Boy Scouts to their Japanese counterparts.  The Federation of Boy Scouts in Japan had no intention of incurring any costs, such as transportation fees, salary and lodging expenses for the elephant handlers and construction costs of buildings for the elephants; all expenses were to be paid by the two cities. Thus, Tokyo and Osaka and the two zoos negotiated these matters with Siam. There was thus no opportunity for the federation to join in these practical negotiations.  Ueno and Tennoji zoos had to construct new buildings and renovate their current facilities for the elephants. They paid about 10 thousand yen for the new and refurbished buildings. The two zoos also wanted the elephant handlers from Siam to stay for several months to train the Japanese handlers. Siam then requested that the two zoos pay 40 ticals (about 108 yen) per month as salaries for the Siamese handlers, as well as cover the expenses for their travel from and to Siam and stay in Japan.  On 3 June, the two elephants, two handlers and three attendants arrived at Kobe Port and travelled to Tokyo and Osaka. Both zoos held parties welcoming the elephants on 8 June in Tokyo and 9 June in Osaka.

The purpose of this study is to clarify the problem-solving process for disabled children who were unable to go to school. This study focuses on the parental movements of children with learning difficulties.  In Japan, children with learning difficulties had been excused from attending schools since 1900. After World War Ⅱ, this system has been continued by the School Education Act. In those days, there was a saying that nonattendance of disabled children was caused by parents’ negative attitudes toward special education. Therefore, it was argued that it was also necessary to change parents’ attitudes to promote special education for disabled children with learning difficulties.  In the 1950s, parents’ association for with learning difficulties published the parental notes and tried to show the significance of special education. After these activities, many parents became supporters and driving force of special education.  Based on an interview survey, it becomes clear that the participants of parents’ association had forced the nonattendance of disabled children by the local education authority. This involved sharing their problems with other parents after joining in it, and cooperating with teachers to reform educational systems for disabled children.  As a result of this study, it is found that parents’ activities (recognizing the matters of disabled children and problem-solving with teachers) played important roles in acquiring the rights of education for disabled children.

Recently, we often talk about day nurseries as centers of Community Childrearing Support to solve the problems of raising children, which is connected with concerns over late marriage, the decreasing numbers of children and the increasing numbers of two-income families. But, in the early 1920's in Japan, some day nurseries were already practicing Childrearing Support in their own ways.  The purpose of this paper is to show that mothers received this support through the motherhood education at day nurseries. I use the Aiiku Settlement as an example. This was attached to the Aiiku-kai Society, based on a firm belief that judicious mothers could establish the methods for raising their children  The educational practice of the Aiiku Settlement consisted of two parts. One is a mothers' circle at the settlement, and the other was lecture for mothers and young females in the community. These two educations harmoniously cultivated the mothers' concerns for the growth of their children and improved their parenting abilities. The Aiiku-kai Society has provided a principle for motherhood education in Japan.

The purpose of this paper is to clarify the background of discourses that honor Tazawa Yoshiharu, who was a representative ideologue of prewar Young Men's Association (Seinen-dan), and the Japan Federation of Young Men's Associations (Dai-Nippon Rengo Seinen-Dan), that have appeared several times in the post war period.  After World War II, the Nippon-Seinenkan has honored Tazawa and the Dai-Nippon Rengo Seinen-Dan of the prewar period from the end of the war to the early 1950s and in the middle 60s. And Kumagai Tatsujiro, who was one of the prewar Seinen-dan leaders, also has honored the Dai-Nippon Rengo Seinen-Dan from the middle 50s to 70s.  The question we have to ask here is why this praise of Tazawa and the Dai-Nippon Rengo Seinen-Dan have often appeared in the post war period.  As a result, this paper shows the following;  (1) Many of the people concerned with the Dai-Nippon Rengo Seinen-Dan or Nippon-Seinenkan in the prewar period who were purged from public service after the war returned to Nihon Seinen-kan in the 1960s, so, a clear continuity from the prewar period was seen among the officers of the Nippon-Seinenkan in middle 1960s.  (2) It is supposed that they had adopted the Wartime corporatism (Kyo-do Shugi) and emphasized the political neutrality of the young men's associations in the postwar period.

The purpose of this paper is to consider new phase of agricultural extension by the progress of agricultural science in the United States at the end of 19th century. Through comparison analysis of the teaching material used in “Farmer's Reading Course” of College of Agriculture at Cornell University with the agricultural experimental station bulletin, I analyzed devices to make the use of research result for extension learning resources.  At the first year of the reading course of Cornell, the agricultural experimental station bulletin had been read. But, farmers had not understood the fruit of research enough by reading the research book merely. Then, an original teaching material for the course was made. The feature of the text appears to the editorial policy that farmers tied the research result to agricultural practice by themselves, and some devices were given to the text according to the policy. This was a result of groping how college of agriculture was able to contribute to the agriculture in a new age. I think that the college of agriculture tried not only to offer the academic education but to have practiced new “university adult education”.

This paper aims to clarify the significances of women’s learning at kominkans (community learning centers) within the current context of women learners at Kunitachi City Kominkan (Tokyo, Japan). Among developments such as the United Nations’ International Women’s Year (1975), Decade for Women (1976-85), Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women ratified by the Japanese government (1985), the Fourth World Conference on Women held in Beijing (1995), and the Basic Act for a Gender Equal Society enacted as the first comprehensive legislation for anti-sexism in Japan (1999), women’s learning at kominkans has been continuously deployed until the present. The stagnation of this learning indicates, however, it’s significance for women learners has still been unquestionably maintained even in different forms. Learners indicate that the kominkans are significant in the following three ways: (1)“making an inventory of life” according to their life stages; (2) creating connections among women within the local community over generations; and (3) questioning their working and family life by expanding kominkan’s topical seminar room into the whole of their everyday life.

In this thesis, I analyzed the museum theory of Toshiro Ito (1947–1991), who advocated the “Theory of the Community Museums”. He was at Hosei University from 1965 to 1969. He started the Hosei University Museum Studies Group in 1967 and then acquired the following two perspectives.   Firstly, he reconsidered museum functions such as collection, preservation, research, and communication as human activities in society in 1968. His theory aims to make the local museum a public space for learning where residents work on social community issues through museum activities.   Secondly, he established museum activities for modern society that supported citizens’ rights to learn. He described the evolution of the museum historically in 1969. In his theory, he foresees the museum not only as a place of preservation and utilization of the heritage but also a place where activities should be created by participation based on the learning of the residents.   While these perspectives define the range of his museum theory after 1970, because of he died early, it had been an unfinished concept in Japan until the 2010s. Public history would benefit from renewed and detailed study of his theory.

Although a large number of studies have been made on the history of social education, what seems to be lacking is an inquiry into social physical education. In this article, I would like to examine the development of non-student physical education policy in interwar Japan, focusing on the work of “Shimin-taiiku (civic physical education)” in the City of Tokyo.   Both Ministries of Education and Interior began to show interest in social physical education and sports outside the school and army system after the First World War. Having been through a total war for the first time, they regarded the whole nation's bodies as national wealth Urban dwellers in particular were not very fit with poor physiques living in bad environments with inferior sanitary conditions, and the municipal authorities actively encouraged community physical education to make people's “bodies” healthy.   The findings are as follows. (1) The policy of “civic physical education” started in the context of positive public health, especially after the Great Earthquake of 1923. (2) Enthusiasm for health and athletics was a primary factor encouraging participation in the various works of physical training and exercises on the part of urbanites (3) These works absorbed and standardized people's enthusiasm for health and athletics, and produced “citizens” who had strong “bodies” to support urban public order of their own accord.
