项目摘要

The project consists of following two parts : Firstly, to make a quantitative account about the accuracy of population census data in pre W. W. II Japan. Secondly, to give some explanations about the factors that support the accuracy.As a result of the project, I make some statements here on the second point, especially on the training courses for statistical enumerators held by the prefectural governments in the late Meiji period.Using journal articles written by contemporary statisticians as well as some prefectural documents of the Fukushima area. I find some facts as follows :1) Students : During 1900 - 1911 there are more than 16,000 students all over Japan, most of whom are enrolled in the courses ex officio and, thereafter, become instructors at similar courses held by local governments of the lower level, namely canton (gun), town (machi) or village (mura) governments.2) Instructors : Some 20-30 of top class statisticians who worked at the Statistical Bureau (Naikaku Toukei Kyoku), the Imperial Universities or some ministries voluntarily worked as instructors.3) Textbook : Though the courses are not authorized by the central government but held by local governments independently each other, much of those courses used the same textbook and had quite similar curriculum. Masao Yokoyama's "An Introductory Guide to Statistics (Toukei Tsuron)" is so to say de facto standard textbook in Japan (moreover, even in China too), which we can read today. It implies that we can know about the theoretical backbone and its application of the statistical surveys in that period.

本课题包括以下两个部分：第一，对二战前日本人口普查数据的准确性进行定量分析。其次，对支持准确性的因素进行了解释。作为这个项目的结果，我在这里就第二点，特别是明治后期县政府举办的统计统计员培训班作一些说明。使用由当代统计学家撰写的期刊文章以及福岛地区的一些县文件。我发现一些事实如下：1)学生：1900年至1911年间，全日本有16000多名学生，其中大多数人是根据职权参加课程的，然后成为地方政府，即州（郡），镇（町）或村（村）政府举办的类似课程的讲师。2)指导员：在统计厅、国立大学、部分部门工作的20 ~ 30名顶尖统计员自愿担任指导员。3)教材：虽然这些课程不是中央政府授权的，而是由地方政府独立举办的，但很多课程使用相同的教材，课程内容非常相似。横山正雄（Masao Yokoyama）的《统计学入门指南》（Toukei Tsuron）可以说是日本事实上的标准教科书（甚至在中国也是如此），我们今天可以阅读。这意味着我们可以了解这一时期统计调查的理论支柱及其应用。
