Criticism of the school by Kawamoto and members in the main stream of deaf education and the arguments and practice of sign language preservation group against those opinion will be discussed. The following is an outline of the report of research results.
・History before the dispute between the sign language group and the pure speech method group : This study shows what Kawamoto, who lead the spread of pure speech method, claimed and how he behaved in his position within the world of education.
・What is pure speech method? : My study shows how the pure speech method was defined in the early Showa Period.

・System of ORA and criticism by Kawamoto : This study shows, with documents and pictures of the school, what the ORA system of OCSDD was, making clear the character of the school which respected the subjectivity of the students and accepted their disability. It introduces criticism by Kawamoto of the ORA system and presents documents looking back at the situation of a school promoting the pure speech method at that time.
