Outline of Final Research Achievements

Through the comparison of visiting teacher in America and the Fukushi Kyoin in Japan, I pictured the process of reconstruction of relation between schooling, home and labor. Visiting teachers emerged when the Compulsory School Attendance Law was effectively enforced to prevent any child labor. Visiting teachers widened their scope to include the children of new immigrants and mildly retarded students. Further, they pioneered a new field of vocational guidance to adolescents. It represented the new situation that schooling exclusively takes the role of preparing students to their future job after once breaking off their relations to work and labor. In contrast the Fukushi Kyoin took an ambivalent role to students' life security. In some time their life security was threatened by Fukushi Kyoin's act of preventing junior high students from laboring. In other times life security was secured by Fukushi Kyoin's support to family of applying public assistance.
