| Research Abstract |
The purpose of this study is to clarify the history of the system of vocational supplementary schools in Japan.
The 1920 Vocational Supplementary School Regulations was stated that these schools should provide an education consisting of some vocational training as well as fundamental education of the members of the Japanese nation. Each course of the schools was divided into lower and upper divisions. In the history of the system of vocational supplementary schools in Japan, the regulations made one of greatest changes.
In many rural districts vocational supplementary schools, though most of the schools were part-time, grew into one of the origins of popular secondary schools in Japan. In some large industrial cities vocational supplementary schools grew more complete secondary vocational night schools.
In inter-war period some large cities made various urban educational programs. In these programs vocational supplementary schools were regarded as one of indispensable educational institutions for a great number of working young men and women. For example, Kawamoto Unosuke, a member of the research institute of the City of Tokyo (Tokyo shisei-chousa-kai) in 1920's, advocated the enrichment of the courses of the schools and the establishment of much more vocational supplementary schools for urban girls.
We can think that this history of vocational supplementary schools in 1920's-30's was a step in the forming process of one kind of popular secondary education in Japan.
