This article aims to clarify the position of graduates of private schools in the hierarchy of secondary school teachers and their self-images, by means of a case study involving graduates of Waseda University Higher Normal School (Waseda Daigaku Koto Shihanbu). Prior to World War II, a hierarchy existed among secondary school teachers, based on their educational backgrounds. Preceding studies have mainly focused on teachers who graduated from national schools (e.g., Imperial Universities and National Higher Normal Schools). Those studies clarified the fact that graduates from national schools were highly privileged among secondary school teachers. Graduates of private schools played an important role as teachers in secondary schools, especially in terms of their number. However, their stature and cultural background have not yet been examined in detail. This article focuses on their position and their self-images in comparison with teachers who graduated from Tokyo National Higher Normal School (Tokyo Koto Shihan Gakko, Tokyo Koshi). First, the author examines private schools that trained secondary school teachers and evaluates the career paths of the teachers. The result may be summarized as follows. The entrance exam of Waseda University Higher Normal School was not as competitive as that for Tokyo National Higher Normal School (a rate of 1-2 versus 5-17) and had fewer candidates. Private schools were regarded as undesirable, and graduates from these schools had less successful careers than those from national schools. Graduates from Waseda usually remained at the secondary school level and only very rarely became teachers of higher education (in 1930, 2.1%). In contrast, graduates from Tokyo National Higher Normal School had better opportunities to become professors (in 1930, 9.8%). Furthermore, graduates from Waseda often taught in vocational secondary schools, which were considered inferior. The possibility of Waseda graduates becoming principals of secondary schools was also much lower than that of graduates from national schools. In 1930, only 2.3% of all teachers who graduated from Waseda were able to become principals (in the case of Tokyo Koshi, 17.9%). Moreover, the schools in which Waseda graduates did get such opportunities were newly founded and small in scale. In other words, they were not prestigious schools. Next, the author examines the self-image of Waseda graduates with respect to their position. The result may be summarized as follows. Waseda graduates perceived themselves as teachers with "autonomy and independence" or "freedom." Although graduates from both Waseda and the National Higher Normal School were trained to be secondary school teachers, their statuses differed considerably. Therefore, it is presumed that in order to uplift their status and alleviate their dissatisfaction, Waseda graduates capitalized on the ideologies of Waseda ("autonomy and independence" and "freedom") and strategically used it to improve their situation.

The purpose of this article is to clarify the pre-World War II status differences among secondary school teachers through examining their educational background. Secondary school teachers before the War have not been examined in detail. As well, status differences and their influences on professional activity and culture have not yet been clarified. These two topics are discussed. First, changes in teachers' social status and differences in their salary as influenced by educational background are examined. Second, among the graduates of Teikoku-daigaku (Teidai, Imperial Universities) and Koto-Shihan (Koshi, Higher Normal Schools) and others, differences in salary and types of secondary school to which they belonged are analyzed, using Yamaguchi prefecture as a case study. The results may be summarized as follows ; 1) Social status of secondary school teachers before the War was high, and declined until the mid-Taisho era and then rose in the Showa era. It also differed due to their educational background. 2) In Yamaguchi prefecture, the status of graduates of Teidai and Koshi as secondary school teachers was superior to others. And it was supposed that teachers qualified by Bunken (examination by the Department of Education) and graduated from Senmon-Gakko (special schools) were inferior to those graduated from Teidai and Koshi. That is, a hierarchy existed as follows, Teidai, Koshi, Senmon-Gakko and those qualified by Bunken. 3) In particular, graduates of Teidai held dominant positions, and they were superior to those of Koshi in salary and promotion, and more often occupied the positions of principal of prestigious secondary schools, etc. Finally, based on these findings, hierarchical influences on secondary school teachers' life are discussed.
