| Research Abstract |
The aim of this research is to consider the foundation of Japanese Language School(Nichigo Gakko)in 1913 and the circumstances in Japanese society. Gilbert Bowles who was a missionary of the Friend' Mission and a menber of the Board of Trustees, had planned the Japanese research center instead of a language school from te first time. His thoughts did not change all his life. When he was an Acting Director in the school, he reformed the school education as a Japanese research center to receive demands from domestic missionaries and meet the continuance problem of the school.
