A Historical Study on Actual Conditions of Organization, Function and Activities of Local Educational Associations

1881年6月，教育部发布了关于教育协会的第21号和第22号通知。以该通知为契机，全国各地的府、县、镇、村都成立了地方教育协会。但每个教育协会都是在特定情况下通过不同的过程以自己的方式成立的。我们在本项目中进行的案例研究的结果具体地展示了每个地区地方教育协会的历史人物。例如，在岐阜县，地方教育协会是在类似于内政部组织的中央和地方卫生协会的基础上成立的。可以说，创建地方教育会的一个显着因素变得清晰起来。安八县教育会成立于1884年。通过对第一次理事会的详细研究，我们可以明确教育要求的浓缩方法和制定教育政策的实际情况。我们在1885年找到了《岐阜教育会杂志》。我们对这一新的历史资料进行了分析，明确了大会、委员会会议、谈话会议等主要活动的实际内容。岐阜县教育协会的活动，以及师范学校教师和教育事务科工作人员以及小学教师领导之间的有趣合作。我们展示了地方教育协会在调节当地各种教育需求和教育政策之间的现实作用。

The Department of Education issued the notification No.21 and No.22 relating educational associations in June 1881. With these notification as a turning point, local educational associations were formed, in prefectures, counties, towns, and villages all over the country. But each educational association was founded in its own way under particular circumstances through various process.The results of case studies we conducted in this project showed concretely the historical figures of local educational associations in each district.In Gifu prefecture, for example, local educational associations were founded on the analogy of the Central and Local Sanitary Associations which had been organized by the Department of Interior. We could say that one notable factor of founding local educational associations became clear.The Anpachi County Educational Association was established in 1884. Through the research on details of this first council, we could clarify the actual conditions of condensing method of educational demands and making educational policies.We found "The Gifu Educational Association Magazine" in the age of 1885.
