Mission Schools in Taiwan under Japanese Colonial Rule

2003年，我在台湾和加拿大调查历史资料。在台湾，我搜集有关台南长老会中学的资料。在加拿大，我在加拿大长老会档案馆研究了有关潭井中学的资料。并对台南长老会中学校长林默生的毕业论文进行了分析，并在《现代教育论坛》上发表了论文。2004年，我对美国国务院的十进制档案和长老会历史学会的文件进行了研究，因为我意识到在台湾英国教会学校的情况与在韩国的美国教会学校的情况是相互关联的。2005年，我调查了位于伦敦国家档案馆的外交部记录和英国政府海军上将办公室记录。这一研究是有必要的，因为事实证明，反对英国教会学校的运动与日英两国政府之间军事和政治紧张局势的加剧密切相关。英国船主以间谍罪被日本军官逮捕的事件表明，1935年前后，在殖民地台湾掀起了反英运动。通过这些研究，我澄清了20世纪30年代日本本土、台湾和韩国因参拜问题而引发的反对教会学校的运动是紧密联系在一起的，并发表在《立教学史研析》和《岩崎久札亚太战争》第4卷。我也曾在《新坡日本原报》发表过一篇关于帝国主义研究方法论的论文，强调了以综合的视角分析西方帝国主义和日本帝国主义的必要性。

In 2003 I investigated historical materials at Taiwan and Canada. In Taiwan I gathered materials concerning Tainan Presbyterian Middle School. In Canada I researched materials concerning Tansui Middle School at the Archives of Presbyterian Church in Canada. And also I analyzed the dissertation written by Lin Mosei, head-teacher of Tainan Presbyterian Middle School, and published a paper in Forum on Modern Education.In 2004 I made a research on he Decimal Files of the State Department of USA, and the documents of the Presbyterian Historical Society, because I realized that the situation around British mission schools in Taiwan was interrelated those around American mission schools in Korea.In 2005 I investigated the Foreign Office Records and the Admiral Office Records of the British Government at the national archives, London. This research is needed because it turns out that the movement against British mission schools was closely connected with the growth of military and political tension between Japanese and British governments. Such an incident that the owner of the British vessel was arrested in charge of committing espionage by Japanese military officers indicates that anti-British movement was uplifted in colonial Taiwan around 1935.Through these researches, I clarified that the movements against mission schools in Japan proper, Taiwan and Korea in the 1930s, that was caused through Shrine attendance problem, were closely connected with each other and published papers in Rikkyo Gakuinshi Kenkyu and Iwazamikoza Asian-Pacific War, vol.4.I have also published a paper about the methodology of studying Imperialism in Nenpo Nihongendaishi, in which I have stressed the necessity of analyzing Western and Japanese Imperialism in the integrated perspective.
