| Research Abstract |
The new exercise method introduced by Ms. Young became popular, and several valuable photographs taken in 1902 showing scenes of physical education at that time still remain at Kwassui Gakuin. However, its historical significance has not been verified. This research aimed to reveal the details of physical education in the Meiji Era, based on school magazines of that time, testimonies of graduates who had attended the School at that time, and records of staff meetings, etc.
The following old photographs concerning the new exercise method were confirmed to be in possession: two that showed girls wearing a new-style gym suit; one that showed girls marching in the school grounds; and two that showed girls performing the new exercise method.
