| Research Abstract |
1. As a first step, we undertook to compile the legislative chronicle of the secondary education system for girls in France of the nineteenth century. For a preparatory research, we inquired about the evolution of secondary education for girls up to the organization of "cours secondaire" promoted by V. DURUY in 1867, and we divided the institutions of secondary education for girls in France of the first half of the nineteenth century into three kinds of (1) convent schools, (2) secular boarding schools and (3) "cours". We are going to pick up the decrees, regulations, decisions, advices, circulars and so on which were issued or executed before the foundation (1880) of lycees et colleges de jeunes filles out of La legislation de l'instruction primaire en France edited by M. GREARD, and to translate them into Japanese from French.
2. At the same time, we tried the case-studies on the growing-up-processes of well-known seminaries and academies for girls, as well as of typical colleges and universities for women in United States. We began by drawing up a map of (1) Colleges and Universities for Women, (2) Institutions for the Superior Instruction of Women, (3) Annexes to Male Colleges and Universities and (4) Colleges and Universities for Both Sexes (a. Foundations comprising Groups of Related Faculties, b. State Universities open to Both Sexes, c. Other Colleges and Seminaries open to Women) in 1887 - 88. Now, we are going to make a comparative study on the case-histories of the most leading colleges and universities for women in the Eastern States, and those of the influential institutions of higher education for women (furthermore, some of colleges and universities for both sexes) in Mid-Western and Southern States.
3. Henceforth, we will continue to carry out the historical research on the secondary and higher education systems for girls and women in England and Germany.
